For Today… September 8,2010
Outside my window… sun…rain…sun…rain…our weather is very indecisive these days.
I am thinking… how is it possible to sleep so well and STILL feel tired when I wake up???
From the learning rooms…we're finding our way to a good routine. It's taken a little time, but most days we're making it through school without any tears…yay!
I'm thankful for… my home and all the comforts it holds.
From the kitchen… I'm watching the pumpkins in the garden turn a deep shade of orange and dreaming of the possibilities … pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, pumpkin granola…
I am wearing… a silvery-whitish shade of polish on my toes. Isn't the rule no white after Labor Day? Whoops!
I am reading… Heidi. It was my turn to pick for book club. I'm really excited about it because my girls and I are reading it together.
I am creating… plans for one spectacularly fancy party.
I am hearing… little girl chatter…they always wake up so much more energetic than me. It doesn't seem quite fair.
Around the house… I've been in an organizing frenzy. A lot of work, but it's making me feel like we have so much more space, which is always a good thing.
A few plans for the rest of the week… our small group from church is starting up again this week. Looking forward to getting to know some new people.

Or leave me a note in the comments… I'd love to hear about your day

Here goes….
For Today… September 9,2010
Outside my window….rain- we're thinking about trading in our van for a boat
I am thinking… how is it possible to sleep so well and STILL feel tired when I wake up??? ditto! I've even had to take naps lately! What?!
From the learning rooms…The kids are settling back into the school year, and I'm slowly getting used of them being gone all day **sniffle, sniffle**
I'm thankful for… my husband and that he is willing to take risks to fulfill his dreams.
From the kitchen… I made yet another batch of chocolate chip cookies (really, really, REALLY need to stop making cookies!) and have beans soaking for supper tonight.
I am wearing… an old pair of yoga pants (too big b/c they were from 37 pounds ago!) and an A&W t-shirt my sister gave me a couple summers ago. Yup, I'm pretty stylish
I am reading… Nothing for "me", just the basic bedtime stories/ home reading stuff with the kids.
I am creating… your party sounds fun! I made this http://www.allthingsthrifty.com/2010/09/tutorial-how-to-make-duct-tape-purses.html yesterday- that's about as crafty as I get
I am hearing… The quiet hum of the dishwasher, birds chattering outside, and a little girl playing mommy with her baby dolls…ahh…these are the days- LOVE 'EM!
Around the house… I can finally get things back in order around here- the hubs was home sick for two days, and I literally can't get ANYTHING done with him home… I'd rather just visit with him or hang out and watch movies together…hmmm…maybe next week he can be sick again…
A few plans for the rest of the week… I MUST find my way back to the gym today and tomorrow and work off all these cookies. Football game Friday, then the weekend will be here! Yippee!!!!
Hope you have a great day, Ashley!

SO glad to know I’m not the only one who feels like I could sleep forever!
And I know what you mean about being unproductive when the man of the house is home ! I always tell him he’s making me be lazy and he says he’s not doing anything…but that’s the point…he’s not doing anything, so I don’t want to either
