What's Up Around Here

 
Listening to.... Nothing.   It is a completely quiet house.  Doug is at Bible study, Lucy is with her cousins at Awana, Cassie is with friends, and Madison has an away game.
 
 
Loving... the chicken and noodles I made for supper and thankful for our local noodle company which makes homemade noodles an easy meal for this mama.
 
Thinking... how much I love blogging and wondering why I have been so lazy about it.  Oh yeah, I get kind of busy with my family's crazy schedule or just with my crazy family :)
.
Wanting... to simplify my life more this year.  Oh yeah, I say that every year.
 
Needing... a massage.  I have had  a gift certificate sitting in my wallet for 8 months waiting.
 
My word for 2016.... Carefree.  Yep, I have decided to become a hippy at 45 :)  OK,  maybe not a hippy.... but a much more easy going person without carrying around so much inner baggage.   That is a tall order and resolution for this anxious chick but I am SERIOUSLY working on it now and have a great bunch of women helping me to be accountable to reach my goal.   Since I quit coloring my hair, I am starting to look a little more granola too :)

    Penny it's so good to see you! I understand the busyness with the kiddos and even though I love to blog I find myself sometimes forcing myself to post. Now I only blog certain days.
    Homemade noodles! Oh, yummy! You're such a great mom.
    Great word for the year. I still haven't come up with mine...
    Hope you have a great day and we will see you around more. :)

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...
