For Today…October 13 2008

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you..

The one in the dead center in a spaghetti squash which I mentioned that looks so huge. The farmer said it was probably cross pollinated with something else..the white one next to it is also a spaghetti squash and that is what it is supposed to look like..It is also large for the variety but not as big as the green/orangey one next to it!..And yes they were both 50 cents each which is incredible!!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…So many things but here are a few…. Enjoy some me time…Hubby has been giving me strict orders to take an hour each night where I focus on myself. After being so exhausted tis week he noticed I haven’t been taking the time just full throttle all the time to get the house back into shape! Oh yeah and get the hous back into shape. We are so close I can taste it.!

Outside My Window…Very cool and very bright! And completely silent

I am thinking…I feel awful and I have way to much work that needs to be done!

This is a picture of Gettysburg. We visited here on our honeymoon and did the 6 hour driving tour…I wouldn’t suggest it unless your kids are teens and REALLY enjoy history!!

Hubby keeps threatening to go back and do a tour where he reads EVERY monument and Plaque at Gettysburg. I told him I’m not going!

I am thinking...I liked this church….not as much as some but a ton more that others..LOL we shall see!

From the learning room.Preschool stuff sitting in the corner of the den just waiting for next Tuesday morning as Tornado and I embark on formal education! He is ready and needs some form of structured time So this is it! Here we go!

I am thankful for…a husband who doesn’t get frustrated in heavy traffic….unless we are sitting for two hours creeping along at 1 to 2 MPH we think because of a Yankees game!!!! It’s a Long story! But even then he didn’t complain complain!

From the kitchen…Lots of things to put away. Hopefully some cookies for hubby’s lunch and maybe some potato salad with Bacon

I am wearing… Tan shorts and a white sleeveless shirt. and sneaks me hair is in a messy braid..Pretty good for 4 am!
