For Today, 9/22/08

Outside my Window... I see grass that needs to be cut. I wonder when Mr. Fred is coming back to cut it?

I am thinking... that these Pringles are stale.

From the learning rooms... hmmm.... not sure I'm learning anything right now... at least nothing I'm conscious of learning.

I am thankful for... cooler weather!

From the kitchen... I need to BBQ something this week, because hubby just found my stash of Tony Roma's BBQ sauce that I ordered from Amazon for almost nothing. He didn't see the box of German Chocolate cake mixes on the floor, but I need to start using those up, too.

I am wearing... jeans (yea for it being cool enough for jeans!) and a dark brown shirt that says "Sweet & Southern" on the front and "Sweet and Southern just like my tea" on the back.

I am reading... The Gettysburg Diaries by Mark Nesbitt and Song Yet Sung by James McBride.

I am creating... my Disney scrapbooks... still not finished, but not for lack of trying. I have to cut back on the number of pictures I take on our trips, but it's so hard! I want to remember it all!

I am hearing... "Go Diego, Go!" on the TV and the hum of the computer's CPU.

Around the house... laundry. Always laundry. I need to clean the playroom, too. I emptied the dishwasher and reloaded it before I took the kids to school, so it was nice to come home to an empty sink. Sometime soon I will need to go through the kids' closets and switch out the winter and summer clothes, make a list of what the older kids need for winter and find the boxes of clothes in the basement for the younger kids to wear. It's always such a chore and I put it off as long as possible.

One of my favorite things... is being able to open the windows instead of running the A/C. I love the way the infusion of fresh air makes the house smell. I love the smells of fall.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... take Lillian to the doctor for her 4-year checkup, clean the playroom, See You at the Pole at the older kids' school, picture day for the older kids, FINISH the December 2007 Disney scrapbook, watch lots of TV (it's premiere week! Woo hoo!)

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
