Simple Woman's Daybook for November 7th 2011

Find it here.

FOR TODAY
Outside my window...it’s a dark, late fall night.


I am thinking...about everything I need to get done tomorrow.


I am thankful...for all the food that's in my freezer.


From the learning rooms...the boys are all doing well in school and are pretty independednt when it comes to homework. I did help Jay with a few equations tonight but he got the idea fairly quickly.


In the kitchen...we had baked ziti for dinner. Yum!

I am wearing...my pajamas. It IS 8:30!


I am creating...ugh! This one gets me every time lol.

I am going...to bed soon!

I am wondering...when I'm going to get a job.

I am reading...a mystery series with a caterer as the main character.

I am hoping...to start and finish Christmas shopping soon.

I am looking forward to...Thanksgiving.

I am hearing...Ty yelling for me to come watch the Eagles game with him.

Around the house...meh lol.

I am pondering...my occupational future. maybe teaching isn't going to work out.

One of my favorite things...the Eagles game!

A few plans for the rest of the week: None are really set. I'd like to wrok if I can.

A picture thought: I LOVE this picture of Cory.

Check It Out

So. I love to read. It runs in my family...if you know me or have read my blog, you most likely know this. We love to read so much that my brother has a a little indie bookstore. It's awesome really! They are great at finding what you need and they ship. They're updating their site so check it out.

Fall

I love fall but we seem to have skipped it this year. At least fall weather. It seems like it went straight from summer to winter. And with 4 kids in 5 sports? Time just flew! I can't believe it's November and that Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It just seems the older I get, the faster time flies. It's my least favorite part of aging I think.

Anyway, I HATE the cold weather outside and, as my friends will tell you, I am a total snow grinch but I DO love cold weather cooking and making the house as cozy as I can. I'm so excited for lasagna, roast, and all the other great meals cold weather brings. Of course, I'll be ready for grilling by the time it's all over lol.

More of Miss Britterbug

Just because!

Halloween 2011

Cory was The Crow and went trick or treating with friends. Jay was Freddie Krueger and Logan was Scream. The beautiful Kitty is my niece Brittanie. I have no pics of Ty because he didn't want to go since his girlfriend wasn't allowed to. Sigh...the teen years.

Update November 2011

If you're reading this, you're awesome! Here's the promised update:

Cory: His back has seemingly FINALLY recovered and he's had a fantastic season with cross country. He's doing good in school. At 16 now, he's anxious to start driving lol. Mommy? Not so much. He turned out ot be my first case for stitches hehehe. I recently got a call from school that he'd chiseled his hand in wood shop and could I come take him to the ER? He's fine now, though.

Ty: He's doing great in school and had an AWESOME year for soccer and isn't too shabby at his first year of football, either.

Jay: He's doing well in school and has grown up so much since I last wrote. I'm so proud of him! He's just doing so well. He had a great year for soccer as well. He made a wicked good goalie!

Logan: He's an ace at school and is just plowing happily through life. He's currently sick but it's just strep throat and a round of antibiotics will have him fixed right up.

Me: Well, there's not much new here. I'm doing ok...plugging along, still looking for some sort of steady job.

We offically welcomed my niece Brittanie into the family Oct 17th. We love you, Brit!

There's not much in the way of actual news...we're just keeping on keeping on round here!

Holy Crow!

It's November again and that means NaBloPoMo. I'm going to give it a go but I'm not making any promises lol.

I haven't written for almost a year. It seems hard to believe so much time has gone by. I'm not entirely sure WHY I haven't posted. I've started posts several times and deleted them. I guess there are a few reasons. It's a little weird for me to post given that most of the people, if not all, who read my blog are people I see or talk to everyday and already know about almost anything I'd have to say here. Then of course there's the fact that we've been busy, especially lately. This fall has brought on a slurry of 5 sports for 4 boys. Soccer and cross country are over and football nearly so now. I hope that means more time to just hang out and relax but we'll see.

Anyway, here I am and I'll post an update tomorow.
