Sunday evening and all is well

I made it though the week.

Three classes.

Conferences for all three kids.

Asia out of town.

Two sick kids.

Two trips to the doctor.

Typing, formatting and publishing a huge booklet for the school auction.

Laundry, dinner and household chores? Totally ignored.

It was pretty ugly around here.

But it's over.

My classes were a success, the auction went off without a hitch, and I'm finally caught up on my laundry.

Asia is home.

The kids are starting to feel better.

And I'm feeling more relaxed than I have in weeks.

I get to make pies tomorrow.

I love baking.

And I make really good pumpkin pie.

Had a phone call from an old friend today.

We talked for a long time.

I hung up refreshed. And thankful. And happy.

All good things.

Contentment is good for the soul.

Hugs, ya'll.

    Cathy, I too am glad everything is back to normal. Sick kids are not fun, especially with your husband out of town.
    I meant to tell you that I loved your comment on my stamping blog. That little arm in the photo of new stamps belongs to my oldest son, Harrison. :)

    Something I have been thinking about- Do you think laundry and dishes belong on the to-do list? I mean, they will always be there then, won't they?

    MMM... pumpkin pie. I can't wait for Thursday! Andy is baking tomorrow :)

    So glad Asia is home and life is calming down a bit for you (if a Mom can ever have a calm life that is!!)

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
