Outside my window … it is rainy, misty and foggy. PERFECT weather to stay home and scrapbook, which is what I am planning to do today.

I am thinking about … well, I’m thinking about too many things. I need to try to quiet my mind some this weekend. I’m not sleeping well lately, and I think it is because I have too much on my mind.

I am thankful for … all of the blessings in my life, especially my family.

From the kitchen … baking bread today – and maybe some chili, even though it is way too hot for it, I have a craving.

I am wearing … my usual Saturday “uniform” of yoga pants and t-shirt.

I am creating … hoping to create some scrapbook pages today, and some yummy food.

I am reading … just started a new book last night, but only made it 10-15 pages in before I got sleepy. Trying to find something to grab my attention. Have had a couple “dud” books the last few weeks.

I am hoping … SuperMan’s work doesn’t do another layoff soon.

I am hearing … the washer, dryer and sounds of Pound Puppies on TV.

Around the house … the chaos that comes when the kids are home 24/7 in the summertime.

A few plans for the week … work, church, scrapbooking & the pool.

What about you?

FOR TODAY

Outside my window…it’s hot and humid already this morning, but the day looks to be beautiful.

I am thinking…about the to-do list I have for today and getting started early so I can play later this afternoon.

I am thankful for…SuperMan – my hero, my sanity, my rescuer, my love.

From the learning rooms…little girls learning about puppets thanks to a generous friend

From the kitchen…lots of yummy things today – I’m preparing to host Small Group tomorrow. Chicken is roasting for chicken salad, cole slaw, pasta salad and Oreo pie!

I am wearing…my comfy yoga pants and shirt. Great for “working out” in the kitchen!

I am creating… well, hoping to create some of my Project Life pages later today.

I am going…to get a massage later today. I can’t wait.

I am reading…nothing at the moment. I’ve been too busy to start a new book.

I am hoping…to get a little time to scrapbook today

I am hearing…little people

Around the house…the delicious aroma of gardenias shared from my sweet friend Cindy’s garden

One of my favorite things…is cooking for those I love

A few plans for the rest of the week: more doctor’s appointments for Little Bit, play dates for the girls and lots of work for SuperMan and me.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing…

Good Saturday morning to you, my friends…

I’m sitting here in my office with a GIANT cup of hot tea and watching the news while I catch up on blog reading. Haven’t had much time for that this week as Little Bit came down with a nasty case of strep throat. She’s been pretty sick and I’ve been spending most of my time taking care of her. It’s bittersweet, as I hold her in my lap and see her legs and arms dangling over the edges of the recliner.  My babies are growing up and it won’t be long before they don’t want me to hold them in this way. So, while I hate that she is sick, I’m loving the extra snuggle time we are having.

Our weekend plans have changed because of her illness and we’re not headed to see family as we had thought.  But we are hoping to have some fun ourselves this weekend if she is feeling better – maybe a hike on Sunday afternoon. If not, we’ll just enjoy some relaxing time at home together.

Outside my window… its misty and foggy but looks to be a beautiful day today.

I am thinking… about how quickly things change even though they feel like they will always be the same.

I am thankful… for my house, my family, my health, and my blessings.

From the kitchen…homemade bread, cheese grits and yummy breakfast cooked by SuperMan this morning.

I am wearing…PJs – for as long as I possibly can today. 🙂

I am creating…comfort and care for my sick little one.

I am going…for a walk later today, I hope.

I am reading…The Peach Keeper & How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth.

I am hoping…that I can get all my reading in this weekend for my class on Tuesday night. I’m loving the class but unaccustomed to having homework to fit into my schedule.

I am hearing…Scooby Cat making blissful noises as she rolls in front of the heating vent and revels in the warm air.

Around the house…chores that have been put on hold while I nursed Little Bit. They can wait.

One of my favorite things…good friends.

A few plans for the rest of the week…Easter Sunday celebrations & bible study class on Tuesday night.

Outside my window… the squirrels are eating all the black sunflower seeds in the feeder, the sky is crisp, clean and beautiful – washed clean after last night’s storms. It’s going to be a gorgeous day.

I am thinking… about plans for today and what we’ll do.

I am thankful… for my house, my family, my health, and my blessings.

From the kitchen… homemade pizzas tonight (maybe)

I am wearing… warm slippers – it got chilly last night!

I am creating… uh, nothing right now. Hoping to get a little scrapbooking in this weekend, but we’ll see.

I am going… to the grocery later this morning and maybe something fun for the kids later today.

I am reading… The Day the Falls Stood Still

I am hoping…that I can get all my reading in this weekend for my class on Tuesday night.

I am hearing… Little Bit and her sister singing while they play on the computers.

Around the house… lots of laundry and things to do.

One of my favorite things… the breakfast casserole I’m munching on.

A few plans for the rest of the week… my bible study class on Tuesday night, ballet visitor’s day on Monday, prep for Easter weekend.
