Happy Friday!

How is it that every time I say I am ready to start blogging again, it seems to be a year before the next entry.....

Life, that is how that happens.  I am on a crazy hamster wheel right now and a spare minute tends to get allotted to social media or a nap.  Could I carve out more time to blog? Maybe, probably, but I am not going to feel guilty about it.

What I do feel guilty about is how I keep saying I am going to get my life out of crazy mode and somehow stay in it.  That is why I have been doing some self discovery.  Who is Penny, what are her passions, what are her goals, and also what are her values? 

I often think I know the answer to these questions but then something happens and I realize that they are not as black and white as I originally thought.  There is almost always a back story to everything.  


Anyway.... this is how life looks right now.

Currently....

 Listening to Lucy's phone (a game or background on you tube) from the other room.  Also the continuously running air conditioner since the temp outside is currently "hotter than hell".

 Loving my day off and happy to have slept in and feel finally rested this week.  Between busyness and allergy meds I have felt exhausted EVERY DAY.

 Thinking about the fun weekend ahead with the big family birthday and K's wedding shower.  I am learning to love all of these things and quite stressing so much about them.  
Wanting to get completely caught up at home so that I can develop a good routine and be able to rest better in the evenings and on the weekends.

 Needing to let God have control and stop trying to figure out crazy things that I literally have zero control over.  Letting God show his love for me and let him do what only he is capable of.  He for sure doesn't need my menial input.  


Hope it is a happy Friday for everyone and have a wonderful weekend!

    Hey lady! Good to "see" you! I totally feel the same about blogging and life! We are empty nesters now and I don't know how we ever did all that we did when the kids were all home. Hope you figure out how to enjoy your evenings and weekends!

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...
