July Currently




Time again for the Currently..... 

Listening to flag core camp (I am writing this on my break).  I love when they practice outside the window.  They are such talented performers and I know I could Never do what they are doing. 

Loving that the forecast says no rain!!! I wasn't going to complain about the weather anymore, but seriously it is like we live in Washington.  Rain every stinkin day!!

Thinking that there is a lot more to life than what I have been focusing on lately.  I have become a little fixated on the unimportant, the ways of the world, and other things God just has been telling me are not his ways.

Wanting to just spend some time mediating on God's word.  It sounds like that would be easy, but it seems like my life is full of just enough distractions to make this difficult.  I want to go to Church Camp like my girls all did, a week of just focusing on God's love and purposes. 

Needing to get "tuned in" more to my kids.  I do this pretty well, but I forget sometimes that when they are "growing up" their needs change on a daily basis.  Madison is going into junior high and I still think of her as a "little" instead of a young lady.  I have been really trying to be better at this but it is hard.  Lucy as well, she will be a Second Grader!!! Goodness!!!!

Tips, tricks, or hints..... My hint to everyone.....life always works out exactly how it is supposed to if you give it up to God.  We are our own worst enemies for sure.  Note to self: remember this :)

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!! 

Winter Items I Can't Live Without

  If you have read my blog, like ever, you know winter and I have kind of a tolerate, bordering on really dislike, each other kind of relationship.  If I could have snow without ice and in 50 degree weather, life would be fine for those 4-5 months.  I don't really dislike snow.  But I can't handle being cold.  At All!!   Ok, Rant over, for today, maybe, until it is brought up again....   What can I not live without?   A Warm Coat...my favorite coat is my black puffer coat.  It was super cheap from Sam's eleven (yes, eleven) years ago.  It is the warmest coat ever and luckily has never went out of style.  The zipper is being a little iffy this year and I just might cry if I talk about it too long.  This coat washes and drys so well and does not look like it has been a winter staple for eleven years.  I also have a North Face that I love but if it is below 20, the black coat wins hands down, every time. ...
