FOR TODAY - Tuesday May 25, 2010

Outside my window... it's dark. It's almost tomorrow. It's been a busy evening and I'm just getting some me time and want to blog.

I am thinking... about getting something to eat. I'm not going to. It's too close to bedtime.

I am thankful for... time with my mom tonight. We went to Lowe's to buy stuff for the remodel. I thought we were done, but when we got home, it seems the lights for the bathroom won't work. I'm frustrated.

From the learning rooms... a reading marathon. Grom and I have been reading the books off the shelves that we can't say are great books. We read, evaluate and put the losers in a bag for Goodwill.

From the kitchen... meatballs from Ikea, mashed potatoes and green beans. FABULOUS!

I am wearing... my pajamas.

I am creating... decorating plans. I'm still making lots of decisions. We had to pick out carpet AGAIN today. It didn't get ordered when I thought it did. It is supposed to be installed early next week, so we had to go back and find something that "in stock". Fortunately we found something I like. The shower tiles went in today and they look fab.

I am going... to keep looking for light fixtures for our bathroom. I won't give up (even though I want to).

I am reading... Still working on Crazy Love by Francis Chan and The Shack by what's his name. They are on that list of books to read on my 101 list. And I just got Linchpin by Seth Godin from the library. Linchpin is a brand new book, so I've got to get that one read in the next 2 weeks. My answer hasn't changed from last week.

I am hoping... Grom loses his second tooth soon. It's really loose, but he insists he's not going to let me yank this one.

I am hearing... Surferman rolling and groaning. I think he has whatever Grom had yesterday. Grom couldn't keep anything down all day. Pray Surferman gets past it soon and that I escape it.

Around the house... the tile in the bathroom is done, the cabinets in the kitchen are in and the end is in sight.

One of my favorite things... I feel like I'm running out of favorite things or that all my favorite things involve food. Thinking... here's one... cleaning out my ears after a shower with a Q-tip. Tossing the dirty Q-tip is so satisfying.

Vocabulary word of the week:
imbroglio (n.): a complicated, sometimes emotionally charged, situation involving intrigue and misunderstanding
synonyms: predicament, snarl, tangle, mess, dispute
used in a sentence: The company may not survive another legal imbroglio.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Kids Club Year End Celebration!, and a trip to San Francisco with friends.

Here are some pictures I am sharing...Princess M

How you can be praying for me and mine... health for Surferman, obedience for Grom, that I'd get my motivation back to lose more weight - consistency for all of us.

Have a great week. Check out other daybooks at The Simple Woman's Daybook.
