Today:
I am trying to think ahead for Christmas... I will talk to both dd's to see if there is something special they want to do for their Christmas celebration. Now that their lives are becoming their own I need to adjust my expectations to work with their new adventures in life. Also speaking to dd older so that she can help me shop for towels for the new bathroom (without leaks.. yay and knock on wood) and to help get ready for guests coming in December.
Today: is
