What I'm Up to....










 I love this picture....Katie took it of her and Madi's feet at the pumpkin patch.  I love raising country girls.  They put a smile on my face....at least once a day.....lol
 
So this is what's going on with me:

 Listening to:  Doug talk on the phone.....Really, they say women are the talkers?
 
Loving: That I have the day off and will be home when my girls get off at lunchtime.

Thinking:  I absolutely enjoy my Keurig coffee maker.  I love having different flavors of coffee on a whim.  This was the best  Krabel purchase to date. Well, except for the IPHONE and Kindle Fire, and every other  convenience we have.  Some days the toaster, microwave, and even my curling iron, are my favorites.  We truly are blessed!!

Wanting:  To keep my old Driver's License picture.  I have to renew and I really like my old picture.  I was able to keep it last time, but I figure 8 years is the max.....I look the same, right??

Needing:   To add all my family's and my activities into my Cozi calendar app on my phone, but when I start I get overwhelmed. This family REALLY needs to slow down.  We are forgetting things left and right.  The stress is mounting.  I know an app is not the answer, but it may bring some type of relief to our situation....ugghh....trying not to complain :( 

What I am Reading:  Just finished Desperate:Hope for the Mom Who Needs to Breathe by Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson.  Truly one of the best books I've read.  It is written by a mom in the throws of raising her family and her mentor who has moved into her next season of mothering.  It makes me  feel normal as well as hopeful.

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

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...
