Daybook for January 12, 2015



Outside my window it is an icy, snowy, slush.  We did not get the ice storm that was expected but it is still dreary and nasty out there. Not enough to not go to work...darn.

I am thinking that a warm cup of soup sounds good for lunch and we have a grocery store in the town  I work that makes amazing soup.

I am thankful for a wonderful weekend with some Christian friends that just make my heart sing with delight when I see them.  

I am wearing dress pants, a nice blouse, and the most amazing sweater I bought off the clearance rack at Maurices for 5 dollars!  It is warm and fashionable and I could just wear it every day I think :)

I am creating a scarf that I am almost done with.  It is for myself but my girl's keep asking if it is for them, so keeping it to myself may become a problem....

I am reading Own Your Own Life by Sally Clarkson.  I just started it but I think it is going to be a good one.  She is favorite Christian author of mine and one day I would really like to hear her speak.  She is a seasoned wife and mother who has been through the trenches and is seeing the fruits of her labor from the other side.  A true Proverbs 31 woman.

I am praying that my motivation surfaces.  I have been a slug as of late.  I have just ran too hard for too long and my body is saying rest.  But I have STUFF to do !! ughh

I am learning that when God says stop, he will make you stop.  And when you stop, he can be heard and his plans are not always the path we are creating on our own.

Around the house.... lots and lots of dishes, laundry, and stuff.  Stuff that has to go.

A few plans for the week include Lucy's make up piano lesson due to her teacher being under the weather, a make up Girl Scout meeting due to the literal weather, a couple basketball games for the junior higher, a couple games for the high schooler, and of course a busy work week for me and the hubby.  My oldest starts back at college this week and is starting a new job.  Busy, busy. 

What is your week looking like?

    Sorry I'm so late! All this busy! :)
    Wow I remember all the running after school activities. It can wear you down. I always prayed for summer to come so school would be out, then I prayed for school to start because of all the bickering and fighting they did! Lol! Hope you get some rest! Have a blessed week!

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!!

Welcome back again.....

  Well it's been a minute....lol I feel like my my yearly post is to say I am going to start blogging again, and then never do.   I hope this is the year that consistency is in my wheel house so to speak.  I have again changed career paths.  Not completely though.  I am now the School Librarian in one of local schools. I LOVE IT!  I am looking at utilizing all my degrees in some form or another this year: Teacher cert in Family and Consumer Sciences, Reading Teacher, Library Information Specialist, Psychology, and maybe even Cosmetology.  In know, I know.... it may sound like how? but really, I use all of them every single day,  and I have some ideas on how to use them to benefit more people than those in my inner circle.  I will share more as it develops.  So in my world nothing says back again like a currently post, so here goes: Currently reading: The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic by Breanne Randall All the hyp...
