FOR TODAY
Outside my window...it’s dark and dreary.

I am thinking...about tomorrow night.

I am thankful...for my friends.

From the learning rooms...It's hard to get the boys to do their homeowrk with extra kiddos here. Imagine that!

In the kitchen...we're having a casserole!

I am wearing...jeans and a tee.

I am creating...some organization out of this chaos.

I am going...to bed early tonight!

I am wondering...when I'll have some answers.

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...Wednesday night.

I am hearing...kids loudly playing.

Around the house...there are lots of toys out.

I am pondering...how to answer this question. I'm not in a philosophical place right now lol.

One of my favorite things...chocolate!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Errands and stuff tomorrow, babysitting Wednesday.

A picture thought:

Gotta Love Sundays

I can't say enough how much I love fall/winter Sundays of good food and football! I'm babysitting today and tonight though so I don't have much of a post in me.

I hope everyone's Sundays were as nice as mine!

Jokes

I was having trouble coming up with a topic tonight. It's been a struggle this year but you can probably tell that by the lame posts. Here is Cory's attempt to help me out with a joke.

A brunette is walking down some train tracks repeating, "23, 23, 23..." A blonde hears and asks her why she's saying that. The brunette doesn't answer, so the blonde just joins her. Hearing a train coming, the brunette clears the tracks while the blonde stays on the tracks repeating, "23, 23, 23..." The train hits the blonde. The brunette hops back on the tracks and chants, "24, 24, 24..."

A Quick Note

The last two posts are both supposed to have links in them. I can't seem to get them in and working. I'm not giving up....just letting you know lol.

Now, since I am tired tonight...that is all.
