took a suggestion from a cool blog, The Simple Womans Day Book, and completed the blanks:
Pretty cool reminder to be in the moment and consider your blessings, eh? :) She is also in agreement with me (apparently) that no post is complete without a photo, hence her last prompt: and here's my photo
Outside my window... sunshine is streaming down. Hallelujah!
I am thinking... that I am blessed with an awesome family.
I am thankful for... laughter and smiles – they go hand in hand.
From the kitchen... just fresh-made lemonade; it’s carryout night - Buontempo’s homemade pizza and fresh salad– Yum!
I am wearing... khaki capris, printed top, and my shoes are off my feet under my desk.
I am creating... a ton inside my head at the moment!
I am going... to go to the library and play badminton with the kids tonight.
I am reading... nothing today, but poking around for something in the library tonight.
I am hoping... my boys have fun and stay safe at the beach next week with their grandmother.
I am hearing...Taylor Swift’s music and the click of my keyboard.
Around the house... the ants are winning the war (and I am totally blaming their invasion on all of the rain)!
One of my favorite things... is cuddle time with my kids each night.
A few plans for the rest of the week: soaking up everyday Summer fun with the kids, boxing up the scrap/computer rooms for renovation, laundry, creating, writing thank you notes with Ben, printing photos.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
just so loving their cuteness and their love for each other!
And on a totally random, unrelated topic:
I'm really sad about the whole Jon & Kate thing. I know everyone has their own opinions about who is to blame and who is at fault. I'm not taking either side, really - it takes two people to make a marriage and I really don't know them. I just think the whole thing is sad - any divorce, I think is sad, but particularly when there are kids involved. I think it's a shame that you can love each other enough to create life but then something goes wrong and you lose focus of where that love went. I've watched the show with my kids (Caroline is totally addicted) since the very first special and early episodes. I can see fault on both ends of Jon and Kate, so I don't really need anything brought to my attention. I'm just saying it's sad. It's been so in our faces in the media lately, I just couldn't help but mention it and encourage everyone to be careful in their relationships, appreciate who and what you have and never take it for granted.
