What I learned in May....

 
 
That my life is too, too, too Crazy Busy.  This is my fault.  I do not say no, I overbook, I worry, I fret, I add a little more, I procrastinate, I worry some more, I do not delegate, I do not make my needs known, and so on,  and so on,  and so on.....
 
I really need summer.... the lightened schedule, the interactions with friends, the down time.
 
 
I survived two graduations...I was mostly worried about the finality of K's High School graduation but I actually enjoyed myself.  I was so proud of both of my graduates :)
 
 
I learned that I need to follow my dreams, aspirations, and beliefs.  I need to be confident in what I believe is my calling.  Otherwise, my life is just out of sync and unmanageable. 
 
 
It is OK to not feel certain things are important even when other people feel they are.  We are created to make choices and sometimes my better choice is not another's better choice.
 
 
Life always works out exactly how it is supposed to....you may have to go through the same fires until you get it right, but it always works out according to God's plan when we let him have control.
 
 
I like cats after all.  A box full of kittens can change your heart.
 
 
If I never lose another pound I can still enjoy my life....and definitely the food that goes with it :)
 
 
I have an overactive brain that has a million wants and a to do list that is impossible to accomplish.....slow it down.....
 
 
A "Thanks for all you do" does not fill the need for a "Sorry for what I did"
 
And some people never change, grow, or acknowledge their fault in a situation. That is alright.  That is where thankfulness that those people are minor players in your game of life comes in.

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...
