FOR TODAY

Outside my Window...raining… on bailey’s bedding … on the line… in the rain….

I am thinking…I can’t believe Amanda is a senior!!!

I am thankful for…getting amanda’s car fixed, new radiator. getting amanda’s blackjack(cellphone) replaced (phone insurance).

From the kitchen...grilled chicken. I marinated a whole bag of frozen skinless chicken breasts with olive oil, rice vinegar, 2 limes (juice), pepper, kosher salt, dried cilantro, and garlic powder. They were excellent!

I am creating…nothing…

I am going… to bed early tonight. I was up until after 1 a.m. doing CADS and trying to get Iz to sleep.

I am wearing…boxers & a t-shirt

I am reading…Email and blogs… listening to matt read from his new book that came in the mail today, “People of the Spirit.”

I am hoping…The kids all have great school years this year.

I am hearing… Matt read, and the announcer from olympics (swimming).

Around the house…drying clothes … emelia using my new shark.

One of my favorite things…snuggling into bed at night

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week… I need to get my closet cleaned out!!! I also need to wash and clean out my car really well. I’m hoping to get both things done tomorrow. I had lunch today with Laura at the tea room (yum) quiche & soup & scones. I’ll take Izzy to school tomorrow or Wednesday.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…

Amanda in her senior shirt… on her first day as a SENIOR!!!

I have been playing around with the idea of buying a new car. I checked on hybrid Tahoe’s and am trying to decide if they are worth the 10 extra mpg I would get. I am really hoping they come up with a better alternative sometime soon. I haven’t looked much at used car prices, I don’t even know what my car would sell for.
