Tired

So, I wrote the post below when I was obviously very tired and very cranky. I was going to delete the draft all together because I don’t feel this way on most days. However for the sake of being real, some days I do and I bet I am not alone :)  So for all the tired mommas out there.....


So, I am at that season of life and have been for about 10 years, of sitting on bleachers most of the school year. For most of those years I have had a high schooler as well as a junior higher so I feel like I am at most school events This is my first year without also having an elementary student.   I know I know... I am going to miss these days, but in all honesty, right now I am exhausted. Like, am I clinically exhausted or just motherhood exhausted? I am tired of being in my vehicle, on a bench, on a bus (I am also the JH cheer coach), in a classroom,  etc. I am also currently sick and tired of wearing our school colors. How pathetic does that sound?


Now I will just pour a glass of wine and relax or a cup of coffee and just keep trucking along in my minivan with my bench seat in tow!  Go Purple,Orange,and Blue!! (Yep we are a three color School)

Manic Monday

Well we have today off again. We are technically off for the MLK Jr. holiday, but I am sure with the weather we would have been off anyway. Stupid snow!!

I am enjoying my coffee more this week since I bought some Almond Joy creamer this week...mmmmm.

I am planning on making my way over to the Amish Country Salvage today to score some grocery bargains and maybe take some scenery pictures.

I am still pondering over the sermon at church yesterday. The verses were spot on for our life situation right now. I love when God shows up so clearly.

The cat is thinking... “Whoo Hoo they are home again!”

I am thinking either potato soup or cheese dip in the crock pot today... hmmm🤔 Both sound good and the family will be excited by either.

Winter Goals

Help Katie settle into her new home before Baby is born in March.

Start cooking again...  the family will appreciate that one.

Treat myself once a week to something that makes my heart happy.

Journal in my Happy Planner.

A weekly post of some sort.

Manic Monday....

Well not really. We have another “snow day” from school and it is pretty nice and cleared off already, so it is more like just another day off now. Score :) 

I imagine we will still have our basketball game tonight, so I guess I have part of the day off work. 

I am craving Mac and cheese (the box and powder kind) so that will probably be lunch today.

My allergies are still in high gear (what is up with that?).

I bought plain half and half for my coffee but wish I had some yummy flavor now 😢

I am already over winter, being cold, and having cabin fever.   

The cat is only allowed inside when we are home (and awake) so this extended break is really making Clem a happy kitty. 

2018 Goals

Restore my home, family, and soul to peace and happiness. This requires God’s power obviously but my Faith in him is strong.

Stay closely in the word and make sure my decisions and choices are ran through God’s filter first and checked on regularly.

Find and complete Bible studies  that deal with being not only a Proverbs 31 wife but  Titus  2 woman.  It is time to Let My Light Shine :) 

and so my word for 2018 is.....
