Evan took the boys with bottles to their grandparents house this afternoon (since his dad has the NFL package mostly) so I've got the afternoon off. After folding 4 loads of laundry and watching an entire TV show (straight through!), and while I'm waiting for the oven to heat up to put the meatballs in that I've whipped up for dinner, I find myself staring out the window at the beautiful Autumn colors. I've come up with a few observations (and random musings) that I'd like to share.
1. Deciduous trees are amazingly beautiful in the fall, especially when they are in a neighbors yard and I don't have to rake the leaves up.
2. Molasses cookies are so easy and GREAT tasting - they are the most underrated cookie I know. I think they will be my new specialty.
3. I may never again be caught up on the laundry, dishes and meals at the same time. Those who know me, know that the only thing I'll never let slip is the food part. Once I put meals before those other two, then you know something is wrong.
4. I really like Billy Joel..."Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" is playing now on the Soft Rock channel on the TV. If you haven't seen the musical "Movin' Out," I highly recommend it. One day, I hope the boys have my appreciation of musicals, but I'm not holding my breath.
5. If I'm ever to complete all of the things I really, truly wish to accomplish (arts & crafts projects you know), I am going to need at least 2 hours more a day of time. Or maybe if I could get by with 3 hours of sleep total, I'd have all my stuff done...maybe.
