Daybook (2 days old)

Outside my window... more rain and more gray…February is a rough month. But the waiting black cab makes me smile.

I am thinking...about a dear sorority sister who lost her husband last week. They were a lovely couple married around 30 years. A reminder how life changes in an unexpected flash.

I am thankful for...Brent bringing George upstairs in the mornings.

From the children’s rooms…disaster!

From the kitchen...pancakes. Today in England is Pancake Day. The traditional day to indulge before Lent begins tomorrow.

I am wearing...A sweatshirt that is at least 10 years old and yoga pants that are from my first stay at home mom days 7 years ago.

I am creating...nothing at this time.

I am going...to pull the trigger on Easter clothing today. This will be the last year for all matching – Mary Kate is sizing out and it starts to look silly at some point. I am glad she still wants to match.

I am reading...My Life In France by Julia Child.

I am hoping...to cook George’s green beans and not burn them for the 4^TH time in a row!

I am hearing...girls fighting while eating lunch.

Around the house...the girls are home this week on half term break.

One of my favorite things...delicious baby skin!

A few plans for the rest of the week...Ponyo movie at the cinema, planning Brent’s birthday, laundry, laundry and more laundry – I (heart) uniforms.

A picture thought...
