FOR TODAY October 27th 2008

Outside My Window...

Clouds and wind and an orange tree.

I am thinking ...
of this book:

Remember it? The little house gets sadder and sadder as the buildings and roads and gray-ness surround it. The window-eyes sag and the colors fade. It can no longer see the seasons change and the stars in the sky. I always felt so sad for this little house growing up.

Now I know how it felt.

I am thankful for...

a slow dance with my dear husband in the dark to one of "our" songs.

We had a long hard week and I've missed him.

From the kitchen...

a empty brownie pan. :)

I am wearing...

jamies and clogs. (I'm always tempted to dress extra nice on Mondays so I can "look good" on the internet. And then I laugh at myself. Whatever!)

I am creating...

a costume for Turtle. She's going to be Dorothy and I bought the fabric and pattern to sew a costume for her for about $20. I'm excited because it is going to be SO cute plus I love to sew and I haven't for about 6 mos.

Oh, and I found some used red shoes for $2!

Not sparkly ones, but that way they can be more multi-purpose. :)

I am going...

to Petsmart today to get some bedding for the "freakin' hamster." She smells. Darn thing is making me make a special trip out.

I am reading...

The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood.

I am hoping...

that my husband and I get to go on a date tomorrow night!

Okay, yeah, so it'll probably be to a hockey game, which isn't my idea of romantic, but he will be SO excited and yelling till he's hoarse, which is very entertaining to me. :)

I'm happy when he's happy!

I am hearing...

Preschool Power -- Turtle is obsessed with it.

Around the house...
5 loads of laundry to do, diapers to fold, dishwasher to empty, bathroom to clean . . . *SIGH*

One of my favorite things...

the star-shaped yellow leaves carpeting our front yard.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:

work for me, Atrium for Turtle, a hockey game (maybe!), Halloween celebrating, a wedding this weekend . . . Oh, and I am FINALLY getting my haircut!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing . . .

These are the Mommy/Daddy pumpkin, the Turtle pumpkin, and the Rosebud pumpkin. But, as of today, the squirrels have made off with the little one and put chew holes in the others. :(
