Today I.....

1. Slept for 6 hours.

2. Made a big dinner for my sweet family: chicken, rice and veggie stir fry, brownies, and the sweetest tastiest mangoes EVER! Yum!

3. Counted down how many days left till sch**l starts. There are 19. (sigh)

4. Played my favorite game, Words With Friends (aka Scrabble) for as long as it took me to make dinner. And then for a little more. :)

5. Spent a LOT of time on Google, researching "fun things to do" in Sonoma County in October. (My mom and dad are coming to see me!!) I found live bluegrass and country music in Petaluma for my dad, a farmer's market in Healdsburg for my mom, and a 10K and Half Marathon for me!!

6. Gave my husband a kiss and an ice pack and some Ibuprofen. He's recovering super well from carpal/cubital tunnel surgery on Tuesday this week. Thanks, Lord!! And thanks, Dr. Grafe!!

7. Clipped coupons for my after-work-and-therefore-hopefully-quick grocery shopping adventure tomorrow morning.

8. Lectured my children about the joy and blessing of having brothers and sisters and the subsequent importance of NOT bickering.

9. Tried to pull out Rea's loose tooth (at her request) but it wasn't ripe yet.

10. Looked at the large pile of yet-to-be-folded laundry on the couch, and then got on the computer to post on my blog.
