Daybook for January 12, 2015

Outside my window it is an icy, snowy, slush.  We did not get the ice storm that was expected but it is still dreary and nasty out there. Not enough to not go to work...darn.

I am thinking that a warm cup of soup sounds good for lunch and we have a grocery store in the town  I work that makes amazing soup.

I am thankful for a wonderful weekend with some Christian friends that just make my heart sing with delight when I see them.  

I am wearing dress pants, a nice blouse, and the most amazing sweater I bought off the clearance rack at Maurices for 5 dollars!  It is warm and fashionable and I could just wear it every day I think :)

I am creating a scarf that I am almost done with.  It is for myself but my girl's keep asking if it is for them, so keeping it to myself may become a problem....

I am reading Own Your Own Life by Sally Clarkson.  I just started it but I think it is going to be a good one.  She is favorite Christian author of mine and one day I would really like to hear her speak.  She is a seasoned wife and mother who has been through the trenches and is seeing the fruits of her labor from the other side.  A true Proverbs 31 woman.

I am praying that my motivation surfaces.  I have been a slug as of late.  I have just ran too hard for too long and my body is saying rest.  But I have STUFF to do !! ughh

I am learning that when God says stop, he will make you stop.  And when you stop, he can be heard and his plans are not always the path we are creating on our own.

Around the house.... lots and lots of dishes, laundry, and stuff.  Stuff that has to go.

A few plans for the week include Lucy's make up piano lesson due to her teacher being under the weather, a make up Girl Scout meeting due to the literal weather, a couple basketball games for the junior higher, a couple games for the high schooler, and of course a busy work week for me and the hubby.  My oldest starts back at college this week and is starting a new job.  Busy, busy. 

What is your week looking like?
