What I learned in August

I'm back..... this past month has been it's own kind of crazy. Finishing up summer and getting back into school, the new school year at work, and normal daily life have all been a little exhausting.

The things this past month have taught me are:

I do not appreciate a "cooler" summer. I like a nice hot summer. This one felt more like a continuation of Spring for me. It is only September 2nd and my tan has faded....bummer.

I have enjoyed our new kittens and when they all went missing, I was as sad as our girls were. Two have returned and we are hoping the other three have found a loving home wherever they are.

School supply shopping is one of my favorite things to do. I love pencils, pens, crayons, notebooks, etc.

I don't like paying the bill when it is time to register my children again for school. Wow! Public School is not cheap.

I am really poor at self control. I am back to drinking Coca Cola like it's my job, but it really is one my favorite things in life. Simple things.

I have amazing kids and their hearts for others and for God inspire me to be the best I can be.

School spirit for my alma maters is important to me and I am so thankful to be tied closely to both still today. High School and College.

I LOVE High School Football games and now that the first game (and victory) of the season is in the books, I am craving something pumpkin flavored because in my mind, Fall has officially been ushered in......

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...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week... Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow. Nothing too intimidating...yet. I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today. I do not usually like salad so this is a little weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half. I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house. I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend. So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs. I am going... To Walmart on lunch. Yep, back to normal this week. I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :) I am reading.... Just my devotional this week. I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
