I prayed for work...

We were having a tight month, and I just prayed that I'd be granted enough work so that I wouldn't have to stress about finances. I've been blessed with-
-A 6 bed, 3 bath home which I will be cleaning every week
-A 9 month old who I will be watching every Wednesday

-The occasional watching of Dallin's 5 year old cousin

-An extensive home improvement project my bosses are doing, which I've been the all around girl for
-Matt kicking the business up a notch or 5

This is on top of
-My regular position as a nanny
-A violin lesson
-A much smaller house that I clean
-Wright Media
-Being Matt Wright's wife
-Trying to get in shape

I am sooo very grateful for all of these things, but I wonder what will happen if I pray for some energy? And when does all that energy that comes from working out kick in?!

WHO KNOWS HOW TO KNIT?!?!?!?!

Oh my goodness.  I may take up knitting just to make myself one of these. I need one so bad. It could never be topped at an ugly sweater party, ever. It's so awkward. I was looking at Awkward Family Photos (such a wonderful site), and came across this gem.

I was instantly in love/hate. Then I found this amazing steal...

Only $715, but sold out in all US and European stores... I guess it's a new fad, so I must not be too crazy. I found a Facebook group called The Horse Sweater, devoted to this sweater... 

I mean, look at the mane on the white horse. I could die. The only other awesome one I could find was this. 

I think that last one is my favorite, even if it is apparently for a child. There are buttons on the halters, and that fringe is just so... 3-dimensional. 

So, family and friends, I think I've found my calling for life. Or at least for this next year.  Scout and I will have matching horse sweaters by next Christmas. Probably not, but a girl can dream, can't she? 

It is COLD

It is currently 9 degrees Fahrenheit, which is NOT ENOUGH!!! I know that this is probably only the third day of sucky weather we've had this fall, but it's making up for lost time with its lameness. It's so cold that my face froze on the way out of the grocery store. It's so cold that I'm wearing my Snuggie under a blanket. It's so cold that I asked Matt to get me something from the car, and he dressed up like this. 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I hope you have someone who can make you laugh as hard as my eskimo does!!!! (Yes, those are ski pants).
