Today…
Outside my window: it’s gray and miserable. The wind is howling, the leaves are falling, and a storm is brewing.

I am hearing: Olivia, a show on nick jr that my three year old likes. My one year old is babbling and blowing raspberries on one of her baby dolls.

I am thinking: that I’m going completely insane. I can’t, for the life of me, remember where I’ve placed things. There are evil goblins in my house that eat important things.

I am hoping: that my hubby gets home from work soon, so he can run to the bank and cash his paycheck, then deposit it in my account.

I am watching: The Dresden Files, which hulu recommended I try. This morning, I watched Firefly for the umpteenth time and proceeded to purchase the series finally.

I am creating: a new site for Jen Bend, plus a dozen of unfinished projects downstairs that I have to sort through before we move (if we even).

I am wearing: my H2F hoodie and black yoga pants. I’ll change out of scrubby clothes after I shower, which I didn’t manage to do during today’s naptime.

In the kitchen: is a gigantic pile of dishes overflowing the sink because a broken dishwasher is next to them. I’m seriously tempted to just buy a new one and tell the repair man to go screw. For dinner this week, which I’m making up on the spot based on the meat I bought because a goblin ate the meal plan I wrote down earlier:

• Monday: Salad and Ravioli in a meat sauce
• Tuesday: Veggie and ground beef stirfry with brown sauce
• Wednesday: Turkey, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies
• Thursday: Pork Tenderloin with rice and salad
• Friday: leftover fritatta, if there’s enough. Backup plan: pizza

Around the house: I switched my living room and dining room about a month ago, and I love it. We use the dining room more, eat as a family more, and I can watch the kids play in the living room while I’m on the computer. We have a great opportunity to move to a much cheaper and larger house in a less desireable area. I think it’s a great idea, and we’ll save about $10,000 annually.

Plans for the week: I have a bunch of work to get done. I have to pick up my order at best buy. I have to exercise a whole lot more and hydrate myself. I need to set a better timeline for my quarterly goals, since there’s only 2 months left of this year.
