Simple Woman's Daybook 12/15/08

FOR TODAY, December 15th...

Outside my window... it is dreary, but much warmer than it has been lately.

I am thinking... that there is just TOO much to do for me to be sitting here doing this...but I need some down-time too!

I am thankful for... God's provision--we always have just what we need, when we need it. So what if we don't have much *more*? Contentment is a blessing and sometimes *more* is a big burden!

From the kitchen... I've got sauce for spaghetti and meatballs bubbling away in the crockpot. Easy and cheap is the way to go this week!

I am wearing... cleaning-day duds--jeans and a white tee.

I am creating... piles of clean laundry, clean rooms, and to-do and to-pack lists.

I am going... later on today to pick Ty up from the vet. He's FIXED! Yay!

I am reading... The Old Schoolhouse magazine.

I am hoping... that whatever is wrong with Pete's little beater Porsche isn't too expensive...or that the Nova will be a quick-fix so we don't have to....um..... **cancel** our holiday plans. EEK!

I am hearing... the girls singing along with the Imagination Movers. What a silly show!

Around the house... disaster area! Too many projects, not enough space!

One of my favorite things... mushroom swiss burgers. Good for you? No way, but they are YUMMO!!! (Ack, did I just use a Rachael-Ray-ism?)

A few plans for the rest of the week: FINISH. Nuff said? No? Okay, well, I've got holiday yummies to make and package up, I've got to FIND my wrapping paper, get packing lists made up (with all these people, there had best be a plan to the chaos!), and maybe, just MAYBE, we can get the decorations up. Yeah, right.

Here is picture thought I am sharing... taken after our train ride yesterday. Yes, I know that Jamie is looking at a bug she just squished, I know Shelby's hood isn't on, I know it's OBVIOUS that Dani dressed herself...hey, that's our life--crazy! You gotta love it!
