On the breakfast plate this morning::::

Busy day today, so Shawn picked up Starbucks on his way home from the gym. I'm eating a turkey bacon and gouda sandwich and drinking my venti mocha with 2 pumps of pumpkin spice.

As I look outside my window:::

The sun is shining so bright and it's absolutely gorgeous outside. The leaves are just starting to change. We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there.

Right now I am::::

Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my breakfast.

As I look around the house::::

The kitchen, where I'm sitting looks a mess. I've done half of the dish washing and need to do another sink load but it will have to wait. My bedroom is a mess as well, but the living room looks comfy cozy and ready for fall with all of our big soft blankets out. 

On today's to do list::::

Laundry....Currently washing Sydney's laundry and have another miscellaneous load to do after.
Cleaning....I need to finish the dishes and pickup the drop zones that are my kitchen counters. I need to do a quick pickup of my bedroom.
In the bedrooms....I need to pickup my bedroom and dust it. I'm thinking about saving the sheets for tomorrow. 
Cooking.....Tonight for dinner is burgers and veggies on the grill so I need to make the patties and prep the veggies so Shawn can throw them on this afternoon
Errands..... I have a hair appointment at 11 this morning, Shawn's taking the kids to the dentist at 1, and I need to go to the grocery store.

Nothing at the moment, but maybe a blog or two if I have time today.

What I am creating at the moment::::

Nothing currently. I'm busy and exhausted.  

New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::

I'm trying this salmon recipe this week. We don't eat a lot of fish at home, and that's something I would love to work on.

Favorite photo from the camera::::

I'm so proud of Ben. He's found something he really enjoys doing, and has had to make sacrifices to do it. He's been a theater tech for and enjoying every minute of it. Right now he's doing one of the 2 spot lights for our local production of Willy Wonka.
