Thanksgiving Blues...

I'm tempted to skip Thanksgiving...not the heart of it, but the event. I want my sweet family to remember and be grateful, but I want us to do that, every.single.day. I'm tempted to forgo decorating and a big meal and those things. We're listening to Christmas carols, watching Christmas movies, reading Christmas books. Is there anything wrong with dragging out the decorations this weekend?! I feel like there is only one big holiday in me this year. And, to be honest, I am okay with it.

Yay! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Little Miss...

I love my daughter's heart. We are not doing school today. My emotions have been so out of whack for a couple of days so I needed to go through and clean out the playroom and the kids needed to be outside, running and whooping and hollering. So, Sis, has taken it upon herself to "school" the boys. She just came in for supplies, paper and pencil, and robot stickers, "Of course, Mom, cuz' the boys love robots, right?" She's doing a little math and some spelling and then I believe she plans to read to them. She is so very patient with them and really creative in the ways in which she teaches them. Sometimes she will explain something to them and I'll think, "Hmmm, now that makes sense! Why haven't I explained it that way?!" She's a delight...

Tuesday Twelve

1) It's a rainy day...it seems to match my mood.

2) My littlest is well on his way to being two. There are days I think there is no way our family is complete...

3) I am excited that the holidays are upon us. I love this time of year.

4) My hubby came home and made meatballs for supper. He's a good man.

5) My sister just reminded me I am living my dream. I don't always feel like it, but she's right.

6) In my next home I hope to have a big tub, preferably in the master bathroom.

7) I think Daylight Savings should be done away with...

8) I'm going to plant lots of bulbs this fall. I am looking forward to tulips, gladiolus, hyacinth and daffodils.

9) I may start water aerobics this week, may...

10) I'd still like to have some chickens, and some goats.

11) I performed a scene from "Greater Tuna" for my high school speech team, such a fun play. This weekend my husband I are going to "Tuna Christmas". I can't wait.

12) If we had a motor home I'd travel the country and write home school curriculum about the places we visited.
