On this last day of 2009!

Outside my window…Overcast, gray and rainy...I like it. Makes you want to hunker down and snuggle in your jammies.

I am thinking. . . that 2009 wasn't such a bad year! It actually went rather quickly! There are things that I wish I could have accomplished, but, being alive, healthy and with my family means more than anything!

I am thankful for. . . this life that God has given me, my children, my husband, my home, my job, family and friends.

From the kitchen. . .I think I'm going to make potato soup with the leftover ham from Christmas. It's definitely a good day for soup and homemade biscuits.

I am wearing. . . pajamas bottoms and a gray t-shirt.

I am going. . . to let the kids play GameCube this morning. They've been begging me all week. It annoys me terribly, so I usually say NO. But, I'll allow it today.

On the nightstand. . . MAJOR dust. Oh, and Going Rogue (Sarah Palin).

On the lookout for... space saving home organizers. I will be conducting a major purge this year and I'm looking for ways to save space.

I am hoping. . . That 2010 will be filled with opportunities for spiritual growth and for spending lots of time with family and friends.

I am hearing. . . Dan preparing to go to work and Nathan getting the GameCube ready.

Praying for... the Talley Family and for all those who have asked me to pray for them.

Around the house. . . lots of Christmas decorations to begin to put away and a bath tub that is in desperate need of cleaning!

One of my favorite things. . . sitting in my favorite chair, curled up with my laptop or a good book, listening to the laughter of my children.

A few plans for the rest of the week. . . a special meal with extended family on New Years Day, putting up new calendars and getting the kids ready for school.

Here is picture thought I am sharing. .
