Eight things I am looking foward to:
- Going out to look at Christmas lights
- Our Special Needs Support Group Christmas party next weekend
- Getting all the gift packages out in the mail in the next few days
- Watching our Christmas book Advent unfold with the children
- Our first real snow (more than a dusting) for the year
- Making Christmas cookies with the kiddos
- Starting a yeast-free diet for my youngest son. OK, I am not looking forward to the diet, but I am looking forward to seeing him feel better day in and day out.
- This one is a ways off ~ seeing my oldest son graduate in the Spring
- To see my oldest launch his career in his preferred field at the nature center here in town
- That my Goldilocks (7) will learn how to read
- That my Goldilocks will make it through this Christmas/birthday season without any major meltdowns or her causing days of total chaos
- That my Goldilocks will continue getting services to provide her mental health one-on-one worker. There is a serious threat that the services will be cut on December 11.
- That each of my children will continue to grow to be loving, giving, and caring people
- That my children will enjoy giving to others just as much as receiving during this giving season (so far, this is going well!)
- To get some deep pocket fitted sheets for dh and my bed
- A dry and sealed basement (without living through drought conditions), as we are now in the third year of a 200 year drought
- 15 to 20 minutes of "Good Morning America"
- "Sherlock Holmes" on PBS
- "Keeping Up Appearances" on PBS
Eight things I did yesterday:
- Took my kiddos to their most recent loop of Tomatis
- Almost finished Christmas shopping
- Opened our first Advent book, The Biggest Snowman Ever, and did a snowman craft
- Worked on lots of doctor paperwork for my oldest son
- Started organizing next year's calendar and setting up doctor appointments
- Did math under the table ~ just because it was fun and where the kids were
- Made a swag for the front door out of the Christmas tree cuttings
- Attended a doll tea party in Little Red Ridinghood's bed
Blessings, Dawn
I just posted a Things I Have Done list on my blog, come see and maybe you can post it too. I guess this is me officially tagging you!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! I watch that show too. I can't always get to it on PBS, but I watch it on youtube.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for your prayers. I enjoyed catching up with you, and really enjoyed the lists of the things your children said in answer to questions about their mom.

Ah, a tea party! Someday I am going to do that with my wee girls.
ReplyDeleteMath under the table......hee, hee. We've done math upside down or while bouncing, but I don't think we've gone under the table yet!
My folks like to watch 'Shelock Holmes' also. Great Eight! :)
