Neglected Daybook

Outside my window … darkness. Which means the Christmas lights have been taken down and Christmas is officially over.

I am thinking … I need to stop feeling guilty over every little thing.

I am thankful for … our beautifully-finished office. To celebrate, I completed Simon's first year scrapbook today.

I am reading … An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon. Finally!

I am hoping … I can keep this blog up. I think it's days are numbered.

On my mind … I cannot believe Violet is turning one next week. :(

We’re learning … that those meddling kids do always solve the mystery.

Noticing that … all the kids are growing like weeds. Except for Simon. Hmmmm... is he just going to be short or is there something else going on?

Pondering these words … "Ok - too many different words coming at me from too many different sentences." --Michael Scott

From the kitchen … getting out of my recovering-from-surgery-and-then-baking-for-the-holidays fog. I have actually been making dinner - barbecue pulled pork, chicken pad thai, enchiladas. And the kids hate it all.

Around the house … birthdays, birthdays, birthdays.

One of my favorite things … coming home after a long day to dinner already cooking, the table set, and wine poured. (Okay, no wine poured, but it sounded nice.)

A picture I am sharing … The sweetness of stolen candy canes.
