Five on Friday

 
And another week ends....this one felt like a long one, and next week will seem so short because of the holidays.  Are you ready?  I think we are about there.  Planning a little earlier has helped with the stress factor...who knew?  Oh yeah, you probably did, I am a little late for the organization and preplanned boat most days.  Here is what has been keeping us busy this week..
 
 
1.  A snow storm and a bowling party.  The girl's were invited to a birthday bowling party and we braved the bad roads to go.  I even bowled!  We really had a great time and I was glad we went on and went.  Happy Birthday Grace :)
 
 
 
 
 
2.  The Church Christmas program was Sunday morning.  The girl's had parts in the program and then C sang a solo.  It brought tears to my eyes...love those gals of mine.
 
 
 
3.  My niece is home from Haiti where she is a missionary and a preschool teacher.  We have loved catching up with her and hearing all of her stories about the country and her classroom.  Proud does not even begin to encompass how I feel about this girl...
 
 
 
4.  The school Christmas program was this week as well.  Every class and the band did a great job.  It was short and sweet which was perfect for our busy week.

 
 
5.  The tree finally went up and got decorated...and has some presents wrapped underneath.  Wow!  So out of character for this family.....

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...

Winter Items I Can't Live Without

  If you have read my blog, like ever, you know winter and I have kind of a tolerate, bordering on really dislike, each other kind of relationship.  If I could have snow without ice and in 50 degree weather, life would be fine for those 4-5 months.  I don't really dislike snow.  But I can't handle being cold.  At All!!   Ok, Rant over, for today, maybe, until it is brought up again....   What can I not live without?   A Warm Coat...my favorite coat is my black puffer coat.  It was super cheap from Sam's eleven (yes, eleven) years ago.  It is the warmest coat ever and luckily has never went out of style.  The zipper is being a little iffy this year and I just might cry if I talk about it too long.  This coat washes and drys so well and does not look like it has been a winter staple for eleven years.  I also have a North Face that I love but if it is below 20, the black coat wins hands down, every time. ...

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!!
