For Today - Monday, July 11, 2011  

Outside my window...late night posting, so dark & very hot still.  

I am thinking...about how long it's been since I've posted!   

I am thankful for...all that I've been given. 

I am remembering...how I used to look so forward to these Monday posts.  I have missed it. 

On my mind...my son Brandon & his search for a job.  He called tonight, & is feeling down.    

From the learning rooms...everything happens for a reason! 

From the kitchen...cleaned up after my hubby insisted on bringing home take-out tonight.  He wanted me to have a break. 

I am wearing...pj's. 

I am creating...a few new graphics.

I am going...to finish up a few things after this post, & then go off to bed.  

I am reading...my Bible, & so many books on my iPad.  I LOVE reading on my iPad! 

I am hoping...that my son gets the job that he's interviewing for on Wednesday.  

I am hearing...nothing but Regis & Kelly.  I dvr them, & watch them in the evenings.  I am going to miss Regis when he leaves! 

Around the house...spotless, after it being my big cleaning day.  

One of my favorite things...these quiet evenings after everyone else has went on to bed.  It absolutely kills Emily that I stay up after she goes off to bed.  Every single night, she asks me the same thing - "Tell me, what all are you going to do?  When are you coming up?  How long will it be before you go to bed?"  She cannot bear the fact that I do things without her.   

A few plans for the rest of the week...time to go through the closets & drawers again. I got on such a cleaning binge today. 

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...Emily loves to draw, & she normally gives each drawing a name.  Here is one she did the other day.  She brought it to me & said "Mommy, this is for you.  I drew lots of hearts so that you would always know how very much I love you.  It's called 'I love Mommy so, so, so much!"  She makes my heart smile!
