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 turn me completely grey in the next few years.
 
I am reading... I am finishing up Screens and Teens and am still reading Own Your Own Life.  After this I plan to read something non fiction for fun.
 
 
 
I am learning...that life really does go fast.  Lucy is turning 9 this week.  She is my baby....sniff sniff.
 
One of my favorite things from the week... I spent 3 1/2 days in a vehicle with my man.  We went to Texas to pick up a pool table he bought.  We had a wonderful time enjoying each other's company, eating snacks, singing to the radio, talking, going out to eat, and just reconnecting. I really loved this time we had together and he did as well.  Where to next babe?

    I know that raising teens will turn you grey! Well, I am 63 and grey already with two teens in the house. Does that count? Have a super week

    I am quite sure, in fact I guarantee you will be finding more grey hair with teens. And to make it worse, they are usually the ones who point it out! I am really glad you had a nice trip with your hubby, how are you enjoying the pool table? Have a great week and stay warm!

    Sounds as if you and your hubby needed that get-away!! I agree with everyone...teenagers WILL cause grey hair...I am also 63 years old (64 this August) and have 3 "children" - adults with children of their own! Enjoyed reading your Simple woman's daybook post!

    Hi Penny! Ooh, I love road-trips with my husband, one of my all time favorite things to do! Just the other day my 31 yr. old son told me he found a few grey hairs on his head, hee hee.

    Glad to hear your snowfall wasn't horrendous. Stay warm and dry. Hope you and hubby have more bonding trips together in the future.

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...

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...

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...
