Outside my window...

it's really dark, except for the Christmas lights on my street.  Pretty.  And, the house kitty-corner from us has a light up Rudolph in the lawn whose head keeps falling off.  Makes me laugh.

I am thinking...

about how sleepy I am and how I shouldn't be ignoring my list of things to do.

I am thankful for...

this season, my sweet family, new friends, new beginnings.

I am learning...

to chill out when I feel the need to keep my house pristine.

I am creating...

 lots of jewelry!  And a marathon post, FINALLY!

I am going...

Christmas shopping with my friend Mandie tomorrow night... I need to pound this out!

I am hearing...

the fuzz of the monitor and Audrey Assad... my new favorite.

Around my house...

things are still and the clutter is semi-under control.

One of my favorite things...

is seeing Brynlee's little legs kicking under the water during swimming lessons.  Today was her last lesson, and she went from clinging to me to swimming on her own (with a floaty bubble thing) in 6 weeks.  She's so confident now and I'm so proud of her.

A few plans for my week...

Christmas shopping, Christmas parties, organizing.

A picture...

My sisters (in law) and me a few weeks ago at the Christmas parade the day after Thanksgiving... how I love and miss them!

Happy Thursday.
