For today, September 15th, 2008

Outside My Window... the sun is rising and the sky is perfectly clear.

I am thinking ... about what a crazy weekend we had even though we barely left the house.

I am thankful for... a good haircut.

From the kitchen ... making my Cinnamon-Raisin Bread, again, and some pesto. These recipes and my weekly menu can be found at To Every Meal There Is A Season (Roasted Chicken, Squash Bread Pudding, Crazy Colcannon, Chicken & Veg. Soup).

I am wearing ... it is still pretty early, so I'm still in PJs and my robe.

I am creating ... a special day for my son.

I am going ... to take the kids out to get my caramel apples, as requeted by my birthday boy.

I am reading ... "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See.

I am hoping ... that we are rid of the critters that invaded us. (You'll have to come back later today or tomorrow for that story).

I am hearing ... a jingling bell on my cat's collar as she gets herself all clean and pretty for the day. My birthday boy sniffling (I think a couple of us have fall allergies starting up).

Around the house... there are stacks and stacks of laundry to be washed, folded, and put away (each of those represents a seperate "stack" -or heap). This is also related to those invading critters.

One of my favorite things... my really wonderful down pillows which are now sealed up in a plastic bag waiting for two weeks to make sure any remaining critters are done for. Sigh...I miss my pillow.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:

• Today is my middle boy's birthday! He's 9! His dad will take him out this morning for breakfast. While he's gone the other kids and I will got get his gifts, wrap them and have them ready when he returns. Then this evening, we'll have his favorite meal of tacos before we enjoy yummy caramel apples!


• We are having an "at home" vacation this week. We've decided to spend that week doing a little backyard fixing up. The kids have been asking for us to build a sand-box...and maybe a fort of some sort. So, that is what we are doing. Hubby and I are also hoping for time to get some bushes moved and new ones planted...maybe even a tree!


• On Saturday, we go for our fingerprint appointment for our adoption and then right after to our Supper Club. This is a group from church with whom we have become very close over the years we've been meeting for Supper Club.
