For Today...

 

Outside my window... rain, rain, and more rain. I miss the sun.
  

   I am thinking... about this poor, sad blog. I enjoy writing. I really do. I just seem to have lost my writing mojo lately, or my inspiration, or my ability to put thoughts to words. Or perhaps I've just been lazy. I hope to do better in the new year.
  

 I am thankful... for a fabulous Christmas... good food, good gifts, good times with family.

 

 From the kitchen... Christmas leftovers.
   

 I am creating... not much.

   

I am going... to hopefully go on a movie date with my husband this week.

 

I am reading... Savannah Breeze by Mary Kay Andrews. I finishedI Wish by Elizabeth Langston and enjoyed it a lot.

 

 I am hoping... to get a lot done around the house while we are home this week.
   

I am hearing... Nina playing something on the new Wii U and J.C. reading bedtime stories to Addie.
 

Around the house... all Christmas decorations and the trees have been taken down and put away. Yea!

 

One of my favorite things... leftover turkey, dressing, gravy, and cranberry sauce.

 

A few plans for the rest of the week... a New Year's Eve sleepover here with 5-6 giggling, squealing thirteen year olds. Wish me luck!

 

Here is a picture thought I am sharing... Christmas morning.

For Today...

 

Outside my window... my new inflatable yard Santa is smiling at the world.
  

   I am thinking... about issues at work.
  

 I am thankful... for antibiotics that treated my pneumonia. That knocked me out for a while, so this blog has been a bit neglected.

 

 From the kitchen... birthday party leftovers.
   

 I am creating... wrapped gifts under the tree soon, I hope.

   

I am going... out for a fancy dinner with friends tonight!

 

I am reading... I Wish by Elizabeth Langston. I've just barely started it. Since my last SWD post, I've finished The Pact by Jodi Picoult, Whispers from the Past by Elizabeth Langston, and Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline. All three of those were good, but Orphan Train was my favorite.

 

 I am hoping... to be ready for Christmas.
   

I am hearing... Elise coughing. This is always a tough time of year for her with her asthma.
 

Around the house... everything is Christmasy and tidy looking since we had to clean up before Addie's birthday party.

 

One of my favorite things... Diet Cranberry Sierra Mist. As much as I love cranberries, I don't think I ever would have thought to buy this. My mother-in-law bought it though, and now she has gotten me hooked!

 

A few plans for the rest of the week... circus camp for the kids, lots of jump rope and TKD, Addie's 7th birthday, and our holiday party at work.

 

Here is a picture thought I am sharing... birthday party madness.
