sheets

Nathan has a Calculus midterm today. Midterms are always hard...for everyone. I feel for him. I am so thankful that my babes is going to school for us. He is a special friend to me. He ate cheerios with honey this morning while I made him two sandwiches. I made white bread the other day. It turned out quite good. Not exactly like my mother's though. I miss my mother's cooking. Her soups especially...the beef stew. So good. And her pies. I want her pie so bad. I just can't pull it off like she can. Mom, thanks for all the good food over the years.
After Nathan left I made myself a cup of 'bluebird' tea with honey. Downloaded a bunch of free music. Got some ideas for christmas gifts. Thinking about a christmas album. Little drummer boy running through my head. It smelled like christmas this morning..like wood burning fires..I think it was just the homeless man in the alley smoking though. We have a holly tree down our alley. I think I'm going to cut some of it and put it in our little bud vases. Our gerber daisies are molding anyway. This will be the first Christmas I get to kiss my hubby.

I am more than just a little excited.

My plants are growing wild. One is trying to die, but I keep telling it to make it. I'd be too sad if he died. One of my succulents has tripled in height...I wonder if this is normal. I think he wants to be planted in a bigger pot or something.

Today is change the sheets day. This is what I want for Christmas. Nice sheets. We didn't get any for our wedding, and although I am very thankful for the purple floret ones that a nice old lady gave us, I still want some crisp new sheets. Every time I go to Target I wish they would be on sale, but they are always $50+ . Why does life have to be so expensive sometimes?
That reminds me. Rent is due.
God has been so gracious to us. My new job is just now starting, and still we are able to pay our rent. Things haven't been that tight. I am so thankful. My husband is a hard working man. <3 I love him.

Enjoy your day. I will.
Loves.
