Happy Happy Friday

Yay It's Here!!! My Birthday!!! I am old....43 years old. Wow, where has the time gone? I still feel like I should only be like what? Late twenties? Mid thirties? I don't know. I am ok with 43 though. However, I am struggling with hair color. I miss my natural hair color with no gray. When I do get it colored I am usually disappointed because it just isn't "my" color. So what is a girl to do? I haven't colored in a year and am trying to just accept the gray as a natural change. I don't know.... Other than that, I agree there is a freedom that comes with age. Eccentric is what they call it after 40, or "mid life" crisis. You can act crazy and they just roll their eyes....especially the teens.

So here goes....

Past....Bible study was great. No sporting events this week so I have cooked supper every night (thankful family), I bought a new swim suit (hopeful), the girls and I wore red X's on our hands for the End It Movement (check it out), and all in all we just hung out her as a family.

Present....I am on my third cup of coffee and maybe my third cupcake (calories do not count on your birthday), I am off work today (traditional vacation day), having lunch with Doug, and out to eat tonight with the fam. I intend to read, catch up on some Bold and the Beautiful, and work on my bible study. Oh, and nap!!

Future...another anticipated snow storm, not much else on the calendar for next week.

Happy Friday!!!

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...
