Daybook 5

FOR TODAY

Outside my window ... Grey skies, beautiful autumn trees and a nip in the air!

I am thinking... Of the dream I had last night where I was off work today..so nice..

I am thankful... That I actually have a job and how flexible it is. Lucky mama!

In the kitchen...Slow-cooker chicken, sausage and veg casserole ready to be fired up.

I am wearing... Dark denim flarey jeans (my faves) and navy/cream/grey pajama-like top (I promise it's NOT actual PJ's!!)

I am creating...Teeny Halloween costumes for my youngest daughter's Sylvanian Families collection. Hilarious, and very cute. 

I am going...To Castle Fraser today, to do Owl Crafts with 5 kiddos.

I am wondering...If it'll rain on us!

I am reading..."The Lady's Slipper"-Deborah Swift, "The Island House"-Posie Graeme-Evans, "The Husband's Secret"-Liane Moriarty (the latter being our month's Book Club choice.

I am hoping...My little stubborn daughter will allow me to change her into a more outdoor-friendly outfit soon.

I am looking forward to...A rest! Maybe about 3pm..

I am learning...How to deal with a difficult situation with a friend.

Around the house...Chaos!! Cleaner in this morning, thank goodness..

I am pondering....If I will ever get all the clothes/toys off to charity shop or in the loft. Bagged up already, just need to load up!

A favorite quote for today..."You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." - Winston Churchill

One of my favorite things...The smell of my baby girl's hair this morning :)

A few plans for the rest of the week... Clearing out, chores, crafts, early nights. And a visit to a friend i need to sort things out with. Dreading it.

A peek into my day...Driving to Castle, Home, Lunch, Naps, Crafts, Research, Sorting emails/errands/paperwork..shopping list made up.
