Manic Monday



It's just another manic Monday oh oh, wish it were Sunday, yeah yeah, cause that's my fun day.......Now that the lyrics of my favorite Bangles tune is in your head, this is what's going on around here.

It is actually not a manic Monday. I have the day off of work for Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday and my children do not! I am missing them though or at least I will after a while...lol

I think Katherine the Great has quit as my tech support.  I say “I need help with my blog”, she rolls her eyes and then magically disappears.  I had to fill her car up with gas last time to bribe her.  So I guess I’m on my own…..sniff sniff

 A few posts back, I did a Currently post that I saw on another blog.  Since I cannot figure it out on my own (cutting, pasting, saving, text boxes, etc.)  I am making up my own.  So here goes….

 Listening to:  Nothing!!! I am the only one home!!

 Loving:  That I have the day off and may get something accomplished…may being the significant word in this sentence.

 Thinking:  It might be time to take the Christmas tree down. However, it has been up longer than this a few times.

Wanting:  To take a nap this afternoon.  I love naps!! My Dad was a napper and I think it is genetic, smile.

Needing:   To be better at making my kids do chores.  Truly, I understand Cinderella’s stepmother at this point.  Maybe she wasn’t mean; maybe she was just in her 40s and tired.  However she would have gotten way more accomplished if she hadn’t played favorites.  Three girls doing the chores would have accomplished more than one, and those girls needed something better to do.

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
