I am thinking... that I wish I could stay home tonight. (I pretty much always think that when I have plans at night. I'm weird.)
I am thankful for...friendship. Mine and those of my children. Landon slept over here last night, and Jill just picked him up and took Lucas to her house for a sleepover tonight -- it's the ultimate switch! (We have a policy of no sleepovers except with cousins, but the boys asked last week, and we decided we didn't mind because we consider each other to practically be family.) The look on Lucas's face was priceless -- he could not believe his good fortune.
From the kitchen...whole wheat bread. And carrot pasta if I have time. Tomorrow I'm going to make the watermelon lemonade I saw on Miranda's blog!
I am wearing... my black capri lounge pants with white trim and a black t-shirt. The ultimate in comfort (I've been cleaning all day). Also my new black flip-flops with jewels, ooh la la.
I am creating... a clean house! Also still working on my ruffled scarf with my beloved bamboo yarn...
I am going...miniature golfing for Young Women's. It's 95 degrees, yikes!
I am reading...The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Loving it.
I am hoping...I can find my lost keys! They have been lost since Saturday and I am starting to lose hope. I'm also hoping that Eva and Bella get along great and that we don't have to have a reprise of sharing boot camp.
I am hearing...SpongeBob. Not my favorite sound, but so preferable to the whining I was hearing before.
Around the house...the fan is on, so delightful (Marc is downstairs so he can't be annoyed by it). And I finally, finally finished my paint touch-up today, whew! (man, I really hate standing on the top rung of a ladder)
One of my favorite things... the way Eva is happy when she wakes up in the morning. Yesterday when I woke her early to go to tennis lessons, she groaned and I feared the worst. Then she wrapped her arms around my neck and said, "Mom, I just love you!" Last week when I had to wake her, she immediately sat up, made the "rock on" symbol with her fingers and said, "Yeah, wakin' up early!!"
A few plans for the rest of the week... tomorrow: Creative Wednesday and then picking up Jessie and her family from the airport! YES!!
A picture to share... I took this at the park a few days ago and I just like it:
