FOR TODAY<\/strong> December 21, 2015<\/p>\n Outside my window…<\/strong> drizzly and in the 50’s. I’m loving it.<\/p>\n I am thinking…<\/strong> about what I need to do in the next few days.<\/p>\n I am thankful…<\/strong> for a warm and sheltered place to be during the rain. Dad made a fire in the fireplace last night and Daniel fell asleep snuggled up against me watching it.<\/p>\n In the kitchen…<\/strong> probably a frozen dinner of some nature. It’s about time for me to figure all of that out for today.<\/p>\n I am wearing…<\/strong> charcoal shirt from Old Navy<\/a> and jeans from Kohl’s<\/a>. I’m fairly simple in terms of my fashion tastes.<\/p>\n I am going…<\/strong> to the post office either tomorrow or Wednesday to drop Christmas cards into the mail.<\/p>\n I am wondering…<\/strong> how easily Daniel will go to bed tonight. I’m hoping he’s not too much of a live wire. I’m exhausted from sleeping badly last night.<\/p>\n I am reading…<\/strong> nothing but my read the Bible in a year program<\/a> at the moment. I read and finished A Place Called Hope<\/a> by Phillip Gulley last week. It felt a little too close to home but it was still pretty good.<\/p>\n I am hoping…<\/strong> my Shutterfly<\/a> cards arrive today. *shakes an achy fist at UPS<\/a> for sending my package to Kalispell and back by way of Helena, Salt Lake City, and San Pablo*<\/p>\n I am looking forward to…<\/strong> seeing my extended family.<\/p>\n I am hearing…<\/strong> a Celtic Christmas CD that Daniel likes. He is currently curled up in my mom’s lap listening.<\/p>\n A Daniel story for today…<\/strong> when I got home on Wednesday from Daniel’s 30-Day IEP meeting, Daniel was sitting on the love seat listening to the Celtic Christmas CD. He then pulled Mom and I onto the love seat with him and just wanted to be cuddled and have his hair stroked. We’re wondering if it was related to it being the first time that I hadn’t met his bus here. (Mom met his bus because I was at the meeting.)<\/p>\n Around the house…<\/strong> the kitchen is almost done being redone. All we need is the tile which will arrive tomorrow.<\/p>\n A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> “In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it ‘Christmas’ and went to church; the Jews called it ‘Hanukkah’ and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say ‘Merry Christmas!’ or ‘Happy Hanukkah!’ or (to the atheists) ‘Look out for the wall!” — Dave Barry<\/p>\n One of my favorite things…<\/strong> S’mores ice cream.<\/p>\n A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> getting out of the house tomorrow for the time when the contractor is putting up the tile, doing some last minute shopping at Target<\/a>, <\/p>\n A peek into my day…<\/strong> A flashback to 6 years ago!<\/p>\n Post Script…<\/strong> There is an app on Facebook called Cross-Stitch World<\/a> where you can complete cross-stitch patterns with your mouse. It sounds like a weird thing but I find it very soothing. Go check it out!<\/p>\n Hosted by The Simple Woman<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FOR TODAY December 21, 2015 Outside my window… drizzly and in the 50’s. I’m loving it.
