Everyday Stuff | Book Chatter

Why is it that five days off from work goes by so quickly? It seems like yesterday that I was driving home looking forward to my time off. UGH.

This morning is a bit up in the air for me. One of my in-laws spent the night last night and is leaving this morning. Not sure exactly when but it was a nice visit.

I am currently reading Forever Lily by Beth Nonte Russell. It’s about a mother and her experience with the adoption process in China. Actually, it’s about a lot more than that and I am loving it. It is beautifully written. I am about halfway through the book and hope to post the review by Monday…Tuesday at the latest.

This afternoon the kids have rehearsal and my hubby and I plan to do a bit more shopping until they are done. Their show is next week and I am not sure they are ready. I say this for every show and it ALWAYS comes together but I always have my doubts.

This evening… just plan to make a simple meal and enjoy some reading. Next week is incredibly busy for me so I really need the break to mentally prepare for it.

What do you have planned today?

This is Kidlet #2 hamming it up at her school’s Thanksgiving play last night. Right after this pic was taken, the kid behind her knocked off her pilgrim hat accidentally and the tears came down in buckets. I always forget to take a picture of the meltdowns and I should because they are really funny.

And just so my son does not feel as if I am always leaving him out of posts, here is a pic of him getting ready for bed. He is sort of giving me the “why must you always take pictures?” look. The answer is, because I am a Mom and that is what moms do.

As you can see this is a wasted week for me as far as reading but with all the pre-holiday festivities and the holiday itself, who can blame me? A break can be a good thing sometimes (as I pop a few dark chocolate M&Ms into my mouth).
