For Today...August 4th.

Outside my Window...the sun is very bright and sure to be hot.

I am thinking...about all of the things I have to do today to get back in the swing of things after vacation.

I am thankful for...my parents who celebrated their 40th anniversary yesterday.

From the kitchen...I thinking of making "Caryn's meatballs" in the crockpot for supper, I think they are really called sweet and sour meatballs. As soon as I finish typing this I'm going to have honey nut cheerios with fresh blueberries and strawberries.

I am wearing...my jammies (Red Sox t shirt and red and white striped sleep shorts).

I am reading...Welcome to the World Baby Girl by Fannie Flagg.


I am hoping...to get the house back in order by the end of the day.

I am hearing...the ceiling fan.

Around the house...the kids are hopefully almost ready for theatre, I want to be early today because we missed all of last week. Jonathan is performing in Guys and Dolls next week and hasn't been there since he got his part. This is the first show Jonathan will have been in twice!

One of my favorite things...is sleep.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...UGH! too much to think about right now, dealing with all of the chores I put off when we were going on vacation including finally dealing with the social securtity office, calling dish network about our broken DVR, dealing with my tooth that STILL hurts, getting the kids to Theatre, Jonathan to golf this afternoon, Mother-Daughter bookclub on Thursday, and much more that I can't remember right now. (not to mention Mike is having a CAT scan tomorrow--to check how everything is continuing to heal and I'm trying not to think about it...brings back to many memories).

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