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.

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!!

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
