What I'm Up to....










 I love this picture....Katie took it of her and Madi's feet at the pumpkin patch.  I love raising country girls.  They put a smile on my face....at least once a day.....lol
 
So this is what's going on with me:

 Listening to:  Doug talk on the phone.....Really, they say women are the talkers?
 
Loving: That I have the day off and will be home when my girls get off at lunchtime.

Thinking:  I absolutely enjoy my Keurig coffee maker.  I love having different flavors of coffee on a whim.  This was the best  Krabel purchase to date. Well, except for the IPHONE and Kindle Fire, and every other  convenience we have.  Some days the toaster, microwave, and even my curling iron, are my favorites.  We truly are blessed!!

Wanting:  To keep my old Driver's License picture.  I have to renew and I really like my old picture.  I was able to keep it last time, but I figure 8 years is the max.....I look the same, right??

Needing:   To add all my family's and my activities into my Cozi calendar app on my phone, but when I start I get overwhelmed. This family REALLY needs to slow down.  We are forgetting things left and right.  The stress is mounting.  I know an app is not the answer, but it may bring some type of relief to our situation....ugghh....trying not to complain :( 

What I am Reading:  Just finished Desperate:Hope for the Mom Who Needs to Breathe by Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson.  Truly one of the best books I've read.  It is written by a mom in the throws of raising her family and her mentor who has moved into her next season of mothering.  It makes me  feel normal as well as hopeful.

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...

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...
