my several 'plates' have been full lately...a little overflowing even.

i've been...

keeping up with the playgroup {a.k.a. 'preschool' playdates *shhh*} schedule {i just love those little wee ones!}.

attending doctor appointments and various other meetings {a few too many}.

exploring the opportunity of being a 'writer' for our new church.

managing a slightly chaotic household {it's finals week[s]}.

throwing christmas parties, planning birthday parties, and organizing dinner parties.

playdates, shopping, errands, babysitting.

christmas lists, wrapping, decorating, card-making, and newsletter writing.

and the usual housework, grocery shopping, and caring for my girlie girls {which ultimately comes first on the list, yes?}.

and then there's eating, sleeping, and breathing {all very, very important}.

with the hubby totally hogging the computer for his finals and last paper assignments {i mean, what is he thinking? it's only his masters *wink}, i also have a FIVE YEAR OLD birthday to plan for next week. jessa is having her first official sleepover with three of her girl friends. we couldn't be more excited! with that said, it's been a bit busy over here and why i'm mourning a bit over my lost computer time. honestly? i don't even think i have the brain power to be poetically creative at this point - no matter how many things may be swimming around my head.

i simply need a peaceful day where i can regurgitate it all out at once. is that a lovely picture or what?
