Midweek Confessions

Mid week....thank goodness. This week is feeling very long to me....

I have had a headache that will not go away for like a week. I thought it was allergies, wondered about a virus, but have come to the conclusion it is stress.

I have not been able to be at one of Madi's last 5 basketball games and am thankful to get to go to her last normal game of the season this evening. I am really having a lot of guilt over this absence and am trying to not be bogged down by it in my head.

I feel that my work/home balance is WAY off kilter of late and I am trying to figure out how to get back on track.

I am living on diet coke and coffee.....

Criminal Minds was really good last night and I am now addicted to that show. I think I could be a profiler...not.

I went to Target the other night, and actually got excited about decorating for Christmas...out of character for me, but a good feeling. Prayer for joy for the holiday season is working. Thank you prayer warriors :)

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...
