For Today

I'm a little sad today. Rob and Bobby went to close up the camper yesterday and bring everything home for winter. I didn't get to go. If I had, I would have NEVER let them throw all the refrigerator and freezer food away. HOW COULD THEY, lol!!! Cooler or not, I'da brought that stuff home and used it somehow!!!! Rob sent pictures of my porch covered in leaves and the beautiful sunset from the trash dumpsters (honestly!!) from his phone, but I miss my place soooo bad. I'm sad that's it's over for now, but relieved that we finally got it done. Can't wait till Spring.....


For Today:

Outside My Window: My hubby just walked out to go to work. This weekend was toooooo short!!!

I am thinking: It's so good to be up at 5:15 again. I've missed our morning talks and prayer time before Rob leaves for work, but I've just been too tired to get up that early since Sarah got home.

I am thankful for: The nap I got yesterday. It was so nice not to fall into bed exhausted last night, lol!!!

From the Kitchen: Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts that I've been trying to cook since Saturday! Baby White Corn, Spinach Salad and Crescent Rolls.

I am hoping: That Sarah's temp will stay down. That her drainage will continue to decrease like yesterday, hardly any. That I can finish cleaning out the clutter around my fireplace so I can get my Christmas Tree up soon. Uuhhh, let me explain....I usually put my tree up in front of the living room window, but since we are remodeling, and that area still needs work (not to mention that all my eBay buckets are there for now!), I'm borrowing my Mommy's skinny Christmas tree this year and putting it on the fireplace mantel. Lots of things are different this year. We'll see how it turns out. Smaller Christmas tree, not having the 2 parties I always have on Christmas Eve because of our circumstances, not doing all the cooking I usually do (I'll try not anyway!) This is going to be a unique Christmas, but I hope it's only for this year, and things will be back to normal next year!! In the meantime, I hope I will enjoy not being so stressed out for a change!

I am reading: Not much of anything recently, but can't wait to start devotions back with Rob! And catch up on my Through the Bible in a year. I've come too far to get behind now, I can see the end in sight.......

I am creating: A high protein diet for Sarah, and a low fat diet for me. This should be interesting.....

I am praying: For healing for my baby girl of course! For me to be able to get everything done that needs to be done without burning out. For the same thing for Rob. For Bobby to find a job with insurance still!!!!!!!!

I am hearing: The traffic from I-95. Usually I don't notice it, but it's pretty loud this morning. As I typed this, the bomb went off at the Nursing Home!!!!!!!

One of my favorite things: Well, it certainly wouldn't be the PIG mug I have to drink my coffee out of this morning. All of my coffee cups are in the dishwasher, so I had to use the only other mug in the cabinet, Sarah's Pig Cup! I told Rob last night that I was starting my diet (again) today because I'm so miserable, but I'm not off to a great start when even the coffee cups remind me of how I feel, lol!!!!!!!!

Around the house: Oops, just noticed it's 6 am. Gotta hook Sarah up to her drug fix. Be right back....Man, I just don't understand why she is sweating so much. Is it the fevers breaking, is it the IV's? We have to change her pillows, blankets and clothes 2-3 times a day. I just went in and she felt like she'd just got out of a swimming pool with her clothes on!! She hates it :-( Usually she wants to sleep, but she can't wait for Nanny to get here this morning and help with her bath!!

A few plans for the rest of the week: More Christmas shopping, Thanksgiving Food Shopping, House cleaning, Changing out the summer clothes for winter ones, Digging through Christmas decorations.....the list goes on and on!!!

Here is the picture I am sharing: Haven't taken any lately, so I'll share some of my favorite fall pics!
