The Simple Woman’s Day Book October 24, 2010

I am wearing… ~my Mr. Snuffleupagus pajamas.  Yes, still.

I am remembering… ~how cold it used to be in my house.  Because now it’s super warm.  I mean seriously, I turned the heat off  hours ago and it’s still 75 degrees in here!

I am going… ~to start Christmas shopping in earnest next week.

I am hoping…~that the Christmas season this year is as wonderful as it feels like it might be.

On my mind… ~parent teacher conferences and working the book fair at East this Tuesday.  And my bonus day off on Wednesday!:)

Noticing that… ~the leaves are pretty much off the trees.  I feel like October escaped me somehow.  I think it’s because my sister moved to Tennessee, our favorite pumpkin patch closed it’s doors and we didn’t go to a pumpkin patch at all this year.  Time to start anew with a new pumpkin farm and a new tradition next year.

Pondering these words… “Be careful what you wish for, because you just may get it.”  In spades too…so wish carefully!

From the kitchen… ~Home made pizza this past Friday night; pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits and green beans tonight; spaghetti with garlic toast, soup (chicken noodle for the boys and tomato for me) and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, and breakfast for dinner on deck this week.  Baking chocolate chip cookies and something with apples this week as well.

Around the house… ~Finishing some heavy duty laundry today.  Bed linens, towels, comforters. I’ve done about 6 loads total. Maintaining the clutter free environment and enjoying my autumn/Hallowe’en decorations.

One of my favorite things ~fresh made apple cider.  My dad took Little Man to make some this weekend and he brought home a gallon.  Talk about delightful.  I need to get some pumpkin donuts covered in cinnamon sugar and my life will be complete.
