July Currently




Time again for the Currently..... 

Listening to flag core camp (I am writing this on my break).  I love when they practice outside the window.  They are such talented performers and I know I could Never do what they are doing. 

Loving that the forecast says no rain!!! I wasn't going to complain about the weather anymore, but seriously it is like we live in Washington.  Rain every stinkin day!!

Thinking that there is a lot more to life than what I have been focusing on lately.  I have become a little fixated on the unimportant, the ways of the world, and other things God just has been telling me are not his ways.

Wanting to just spend some time mediating on God's word.  It sounds like that would be easy, but it seems like my life is full of just enough distractions to make this difficult.  I want to go to Church Camp like my girls all did, a week of just focusing on God's love and purposes. 

Needing to get "tuned in" more to my kids.  I do this pretty well, but I forget sometimes that when they are "growing up" their needs change on a daily basis.  Madison is going into junior high and I still think of her as a "little" instead of a young lady.  I have been really trying to be better at this but it is hard.  Lucy as well, she will be a Second Grader!!! Goodness!!!!

Tips, tricks, or hints..... My hint to everyone.....life always works out exactly how it is supposed to if you give it up to God.  We are our own worst enemies for sure.  Note to self: remember this :)

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...
