Just Hit Pause

November 26, 2008

There’s a blanket of snow outside. The sky is grey and there’s a fresh pot of Blackberry tea with peppermint sprigs boiling on the stove. Fresh pumpkin pies are steaming on the counter.

The house cleaning ritual is complete for company tomorrow, and my little guy’s fever is down to a manageable 101. We pile under a soft blanket with our steaming mugs and listen to a little Billie Holiday- because it’s a Billie kind of day.

I should be doing a million things right now, but instead I choose to cuddle with my boys on a busy winter morning. Thanksgiving started early for me this year- right now, in fact. I am so thankful for my little guys and my family.

The job market is bleak, money is tight, the weather is atrocious, and there’s too much to do. But like Billie says, I’ve got my love to keep me warm.

I just wanted to share the arrival of Thanksgiving with you. Happy Holiday, and here’s a little Billie to warm your heart.

We've been listening to Christmas music for 3 weeks now. My boys ask for it every time we get in the car. My iPod has about 50 Christmas songs. My favorites are the ones by BarlowGirl, and Casting Crowns. :)

Thanks for stopping by Anthony, have a great weekend!

I not only started listening to Xmas music, I fired up iTunes and bought some more..

The two I had to buy (and keep listening to over and over) were "Carol of the Bells" and "Orinoco Flow" (maybe that's not Xmas but it tends to get played more this time of year).

We pretty much Z'd out this week too.. a little house cleaning, but mostly just relaxing..

Hi Jamie. I think it's a good idea to start your Holiday early. I started listening to Christmas music this past Saturday :-) Happy Thanksgiving!
