Outside my window... it is overcast, but there is blue skies peeking through.

I am thinking...  about the balance between forgiveness and self-preservation.  (I know; deep for a Friday afternoon.)

I am thankful...  that even though I don't remember caring for James in the middle of the night, that there is evidence that he was fed and changed and woke up breathing and healthy.  Oy vey.  I need some sleep, with a nanny in the other room. 

In the kitchen... there is an empty take-out container from my Max and Erma's salad that I didn't have the chance to eat last night. 

I am wearing... NOT maternity pants =) and a nursing tank.

I am creating... Pinterest boards for the kiddos' new rooms, to commence in a week or two.

I am going... to pick up Seth from preschool, then to karate with Seth and Lucas, and then to Costco for a Friday family date night.

I am reading... through my blog feed reader; that's it. 

I am hoping... for beautiful weather for our birthday party cookout Saturday night!

I am looking forward to... a date with Jim, sometime.

I am learning... to trust my gut. 

Around the house... it is quiet.  Erin and James are both napping. 

A favorite quote for today... "Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed," Eph. 4:29

One of my favorite things... Almond Joy candy.  And I've found a Turkey Hill ice cream to match that passion. 

A few plans for the rest of the week...karate, Costco, laundry, banana pudding and pasta salad prepping, birthday party cookout, sleepover and Grandma's, baseball game with Jim and James .
