Hubby and I woke up this morning and kept saying to each other that it's not fair, the weekend just flew right on by and we're not feeling it today, just not ready for a whole new week LOL
We are also one step closer to Christmas, oh goodness. Anyway, let's concentrate on other things and let's get this day going shall we?
The weather outside is::::
41 degrees and clear skies. Yesterday we had cloudy and foggy skies and some rain too. This weather is so confusing, I wish it would just pick one and stay with it....really. dOn the breakfast plate this morning::::
Haven't had breakfast yet, just a cup of coffee with hubby at 5:30am. I will finish up this post and then get some breakfast, but not really sure what I am in the mood for. Bagel? Cinnamon Toast or Pumpkin Spice? Cereal? Yogurt parfait? Who knows.As I look outside my window:::
It's really bright outside, or maybe it's because yesterday was so dark and gloomy. There are ton of squirrels in the yard, playing and running back and forth through the grass and then up the one tree. Right now I am::::
In bed, Lola is snoring next to me and Bella is on her bed on the floor. I'm trying to tell myself that after this post I need to get up and get going with my day, but I'm feeling so incredibly lazy today, ugh. As I look around the house::::
It is homey and cozy, but I've not really decorated as much for Christmas as previous years, and I don't know if it's because my kids are getting older and I don't feel the need to go all out. I am just not sure what is going on lately, kind of wish I got the Christmas spirit back though. On today's to do list::::

I can't believe that we are so close to Christmas! I've been re-running your Blogmas from last year to keep me on track with all that is going on here.
ReplyDeletePerfect inspiration for what J is going through. So hard as a teenager to understand/know that this only means something/someone better is coming her way. HUGS & Prayers that her broken heart mends quickly.
Have a wonderful week my friend!
Just keep focusing on the reason for the season dear Friend - and that Christmas spirit will come on in. ;)
ReplyDeleteContinued good thoughts and prayers sent to Jasmine - such a difficult thing. I hope you can all have some lovely quality holiday family time in the days ahead that may help with the healing and bring some joy.
Christmas is coming too fast (as it does every year! Lol). Trying to take moments to stop and enjoy too.
Blessings on your week Sandra! xoxo
My heart goes out to Jasmine. Being her age is so rough, with so many ups and downs. All part of growing up and life.
ReplyDeleteI know your home is a sweet, comforting haven for her.
Happy Christmas holidays ~ FlowerLady
My heart goes out to Jasmine...teenage breakups are so tough. And my prayers are with you as well, dear friend. It's hard to watch our kids go through this, and our Mama heart wants nothing more than to scoop 'em up and make it better.
ReplyDeleteHugs all around.
Have a beautiful week.
I love your photo! I adore snowmen. Hugs to Jasmine. Have a great week Sandra.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a good week and that all will be well for Jasmine. Hugs to you both. xx
