What I learned in August

I'm back..... this past month has been it's own kind of crazy. Finishing up summer and getting back into school, the new school year at work, and normal daily life have all been a little exhausting.

The things this past month have taught me are:

I do not appreciate a "cooler" summer. I like a nice hot summer. This one felt more like a continuation of Spring for me. It is only September 2nd and my tan has faded....bummer.

I have enjoyed our new kittens and when they all went missing, I was as sad as our girls were. Two have returned and we are hoping the other three have found a loving home wherever they are.

School supply shopping is one of my favorite things to do. I love pencils, pens, crayons, notebooks, etc.

I don't like paying the bill when it is time to register my children again for school. Wow! Public School is not cheap.

I am really poor at self control. I am back to drinking Coca Cola like it's my job, but it really is one my favorite things in life. Simple things.

I have amazing kids and their hearts for others and for God inspire me to be the best I can be.

School spirit for my alma maters is important to me and I am so thankful to be tied closely to both still today. High School and College.

I LOVE High School Football games and now that the first game (and victory) of the season is in the books, I am craving something pumpkin flavored because in my mind, Fall has officially been ushered in......

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...
