Bad for my health?

I was reading an issue of Women's Health recently about the importance of getting a good nights rest. One of the main things was that there has to be a tranquil design to create a tranquil mood. They mentioned that it is important to use greys and blues in your decorating because it creates a peaceful atmosphere. Automatically my wheels are turning as to what I can redecorate in our apartment. I realized is this why I always feel tired? :

Then I came to my senses. No it may not be tranquil on the color scheme I have been advised, but I love my Jacobean print bedspread. Yes it is bright and colorful and no I have not lost sleep because of it. I guess I'll stick with it a while longer.

I am thankful for...

Family

But mostly I am thankful for Ellie and Charlie's faces in this one.

Survival

The show is over. The kids did great. I might have forgotten why I love theatre, but I remembered why I love my husband so much. Thanks for the sleepless nights and endless hours of building sets with me!

Gluttony at its Best

 After wanting to pull my brains out the last two weeks, with a show that goes up tomorrow,  the initial stages of my research paper being due today, there was nothing I wanted more than a little break. I got it. The kids had school off today for Vetran's day. Joe and I went to the Grove for lunch later followed by Flying Star for dessert, and yes we indulged. Their new Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake is just about the most divine thing I have ever tasted. It was about time for gluttony like that!

Playing Dress Up

Can you guess who we were for Halloween?And can you see Joe's skin is shimmering? We worked really hard on that part. As Christan put it so gently : "Oh no! that is amazing- I am horrified and tickled all at once". Thanks Chris!

Here we are at Erin and Vince's party acting a bit more normal. Note the bite marks in my neck.
