FOR TODAY…

Outside my window...just an ordinary winter evening. There is snow on the ground, but it isn't snowing today.

I am thinking...how I am feeling kind of all over the place lately. I need some grounding...

I am thankful for...my daughter, even though she has been driving me a little bit crazy lately.

From the kitchen...Matt had his holiday party, so Lily and I had chicken fingers for dinner.

I am wearing...yoga pants, a sweatshirt and my slippers.

I am creating...Lily and I made a count down to no more paci chain this afternoon. Hopefully in 30 days we will say goodbye to the paci for good!

I am going...nowhere. I'm in for the evening.

I am reading...Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. I need to get working because I am a little more than halfway through and it is due tomorrow and it can't be renewed!

I am hoping...that I am a good mother, that I am doing right by Lily.

I am hearing...Beethoven.

Around the house...Lily's playroom is a wreck. My bed isn't made. I need to put away the laundry that has been dry on the drying rack for three days.

A few plans for the rest of the week...MOPS steering meeting and then lunch with friends tomorrow, my cousins baby shower on Saturday, Bears game Sunday!

FOR TODAY…

Outside my window...it is cool and cloudy and I think I am hearing some rumbles of thunder. Sah-weet! I love thunderstorms!

I am thinking...how sometimes you want something so badly that you can almost convince yourself it is reality.

I am thankful for...my husband who I have hardly seen this past week. He is working today, again. He has pretty much been working every waking hour for the past week. He works so hard to provide so much for our little family. These crazy work weeks don't happen all the time, but I really appreciate the normal weeks after the crazy ones.

From the kitchen...since Matt has been working like crazy, I have a back up of meals to make in the fridge. I think I am going to make chili today, per my menu plan.

I am wearing...jammies still. It is quite possible I will be in jammies all day. Depends on if we decide to do anything.

I am creating...a plan for the day.

I am going...nowhere today, at least not as of now.

I am reading...Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah.

I am hoping...that I can convince Matt to go to church tomorrow. After the week he has had, I am hoping he doesn't hate me for making the suggestion.

I am hearing...Lily playing at her little desk.

Around the house...I should probably clean up a little. I really want to decorate for fall, but I can't get the decorations out of the attic by myself.

A few plans for the rest of the week...not much going on today. Hopefully church and the Bears game and some family time tomorrow.
