Around the House: October

Reading: East of Eden by John Steinbeck

Enjoying: Mommy time with the kids.

Learning: Just how different boys are from girls. I know I have said it many times but the things this boy pulls on me the girls never would have dreamed of doing.

Watching: Well tonight it will be last nights episode of Mad Men. I am loving that show.

Anticipating: Hmmmm. Ok this sounds nuts, Christmas. I love the time of year. It will definitely be a different Christmas for us this year with Jourdan out of town for the month but I will still enjoy it with the kids. Maybe we can even watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation together over ichat???

Realizing: How blessed I am to have such a great husband. Even though I give him a rough time for spending so much time away working right now, I know he is trying his hardest for our family.

Pondering: Hmmmm........

Studying: Ruth and Esther and really enjoying it.

Wondering: How bed time will go tonight. If the kids will freak out or go to bed easily.

Remembering: Not much..... my brain is kind of frazzled at this time of day. :)

Praying: That our family stays healthy and that everything works out well for Jourdan's movie. :)

Creature of Habit

So I am a creature of habit, big time. When I find something I like I tend to buy it in every color or multiple of the same thing. My pantry is full of the same food all the time because I have this fear that I will not find something when I need it or the store will stop making it. Because god forbid I try something different. :-) So last summer Target (the best store ever) had these tank tops that fit me so perfect that I bought one in almost every color. I also bought about 5 white ones because I wear one under everything.  And I wanted to make sure if they stopped making them I would have plenty. :-) So last week I was at my favorite store and low and behold they had the same tanks as last year! Score!!! So i loaded up again. Mostly on white. Now today I start looking through my clothes and out of the 10 or so white tanks I have bought in the past year I can find 2............. This is why I buy multiple of things.  :-) 

random thoughts

* How the heck do you teach a 6 year old to tie her shoes? I tried explaining it to her and she got fed up and said "I will never learn! I will never tie my shoes even when I'm OLD like you!"  Then runs away screaming. UGH!!

* The attitude from a 6 year old (maybe it is just mine) sucks! Yesterday she told me she would "never give me kisses and hugs again!" because she lost desert for the next 2 days. That comment made her loose out on another 2 days. 

* I am becoming my mother. A couple of years ago that would have bugged me but now not having her around it is like one more memory bonus. 

* Since I have had Ewan I am late to EVERYTHING!! It is all his fault I have decided. :)

* Top Chef starts again tonight!!

* I am ready to decorate for Christmas! If the stores are why can't I?

* I am sooo excited for Christmas because I love all of it but in the same breath very sad about Christmas because this was also my moms favorite holiday. It is also my first Christmas without her which makes me very sad.  

* Jourd just sent me the prettiest tulips......He is on the every 11 year plan. :) 11 Years ago next month he bought me tulips. So I should get my next ones in the year 2019!!
