It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We have been busy putting out our Christmas decorations the past 2 days. I am hoping we can finish up all the loose ends today....but it is raining so the outside stuff will have to wait. I will share some pictures this week.

Pray for Katianna

My daughter has a good friend that has a rare, aggressive and untreatable form of thyroid cancer....she is 9. She is such a wonderful little girl. Please if you are so inclined pray for a miracle for this little girl.

You Are Mashed Potatoes
Ordinary, comforting, and more than a little predictableYou're the glue that holds everyone together.

What a week!

I have been so sick all week. At first I thought it was a cold....but now I am thinking maybe it was the flu. I did get my flu shot several weeks ago.

Anyway....I am hosting Thanksgiving and have done NOTHING to get ready yet. YIKES!!!!!

So hopefully today I will have some energy to get a move on. The kids and DH will be helping too!!!!

Feeling a bit like my old self

I am happy that the funk seems to be lifting and I feel more like myself this weekend than I have in a really long time.

I have gottens lots of cleaning and organizing done. Even working on my menu for Thanksgiving. I will share with you when I get it finalized.

I won't have much time around the house to get things done this week..it is a busy one again.

Busy Week

Oh my it has been a full week of activities. I am looking forward to the weekend, even though we have quite a bit on the agenda.

My blogging has been kinda pathetic...I just don't have anything I feel is worth writing about.....what do you all do when this happens? Give a new blogger some tips.

The Things I am Grateful for from this weekend

1. Spending time with my family...playing games..watching football just good times!

2. Making cookies with Meghan....we laughed so much....and the cookies turned out good too!!!

3. The warm weather for Colin's last marching band performance

4. A nap on Sunday afternoon

5. Getting caught up on Mt. Washmore!!! this rarely happens around here LOL

Grateful Wednesday and random stuff

1. That I was able to leave work today to pick up DD who was sick at school.....cause being a Mom is what matters most to me.

2. An awesome coworker who took care of things for me so I could leave

3. Time at home....

4. The beautiful fall colors in my yard

5. That I don't have to see any more political ads....yahooooooo!!!!!


I should have spent today getting caught up around here....but I am not feeling that great either. So I did very little. The funk continues...but life moves on!!!

I am still working on the bathroom updating....still need to find a few more goodies to jazz it up...then I will share some pics.

FUNK

I am in a funk and can't seem to shake it.

I know that I have much to be grateful for in my life.

So hopefully it passes soon and I will back.

Do you ever get in a funk? How do you pull yourself out?
