For Today...

Outside my window... pleasant fall weather this morning... the little nip in the air felt so nice while walking to the bus stop.

I am thinking... that our wedding anniversary came and went two days ago, and neither my husband nor I remembered or acknowledged it. How depressing.

I am thankful for... Elise's platelet count being much higher than we were expecting on Friday. She had had 4 nosebleeds in 48 hours along with a little bit of petechiae, so we were expecting the worst, but her count was 2-3 times what we were anticipating! Yea! It still wasn't in the normal range, but at this point,a safe number is a good number, normal or otherwise. I'm guessing it had been lower on Wednesday or Thursday but had come up some by the time she got blood drawn on Friday.

From the kitchen... tacos, I think.

I am wearing... a purple tee, denim shorts, and my beloved cherry ribbon flip flops that have been lost in the chasm of my closet for over a year!

I am creating... Elise's 8 year letter... I'm a little late on that.

I am going... to clean this dump of a house today. It is a disgrace!

I am reading... Letter to my Daughter by Maya Angelou.

I am hoping... for sunny weather in Snowshoe this weekend, so my husband can take his trip. (No, not really, but he is blaming me for the rain last weekend because of my blog post hoping for rain, so I'll humor him this week.)

I am hearing... the refrigerator humming.

Around the house... stuff I cleaned out of my car and now needs to be put away.

One of my favorite things... Addie's giggle... it is like a cackle... cracks me up!

A few plans for the rest of the week.... soccer, tumbling, Nina's first Daisy Scout meeting, volunteering in Elise's classroom, fall festival at the kids' school.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing... enjoying the park on a nice fall day.

I'll be praying Elise's numbers continue to go up- that is no fun. (And more than a little worrisome!) Hope you all have a great Monday!

The picture of your children is beautiful. I have a lot of housework to today also. I hope you have a wonderful week. Thanks for sharing a part of your life with me. Doylene

I forgot Happy Anniversary. I forget ours often also but my husband reminds me. Doylene

Happy Anniversary! You and your man need to have a talk and plan something for just the two of you.
Praise for your daughter's test.
I like the picture you shared.

We did actually have plans to go out Friday night... complete with dinner reservations and a babysitter, but the baby got sick with a fever, so we had to cancel. We definitely had planned to celebrate, but when those plans were put on hold, I realized that we never even told each other happy anniversary or acknowledged the day... should have at least done that much!
