Daybook ~ July 23, 2009

Outside my Window ... A beautiful summer day. It's supposed to be in the mid-80's today - perfect weather. :)

I am thankful for ... my job/boss - and that they let me work nights when my sitter is out of town so 1) I don't have to use up my vacation time and 2) I don't have to try to find someone else to watch them.

From the kitchen ... I haven't cooked anything all week other than a package of cinnamon rolls since I am working nights....it's kind of nice.

I am wearing ... Jammie pants and one of Terrance's t-shirts...I haven't been up too long.

I am reading ... I'm just not even going to answer this question any more until I finish the book I've been on FOREVER!! lol

I am hoping ... To go to the Splash Park today with Steph and all the kids. I've been wanting to go - just haven't made it there.

I am hearing ... The Little Einsteins - Myles is watching. I still really like that show.

Around the house ... We moved the large bookshelf from the bedroom to the living room. We didn't have enough room on the little 2-shelf one for all our movies and it was just junky-looking all the time. Of course, I don't have room for all my books now...but no one sees that mess. lol The large one now has all the movies (except for Terrance's Steven Seagal collection that he keeps upstairs) and the Wii remotes and Myles' toy buckets are on the bottom shelf. It looks much better.

One of my favorite things ... Hanging out with my kids...doing fun stuff like we've been doing this week. I know that's not possible all the time since I work - so I am really trying to enjoy this week.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week ... Jordan and I are leaving for a girls weekend tomorrow in Cookeville, Myles is going to Grandpa and Grandma's and Terrance is going camping....I know - I can't believe that last one either. :)

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you ... From our Week o' Fun...
