What's Up Around Here

 
Listening to.... Nothing.   It is a completely quiet house.  Doug is at Bible study, Lucy is with her cousins at Awana, Cassie is with friends, and Madison has an away game.
 
 
Loving... the chicken and noodles I made for supper and thankful for our local noodle company which makes homemade noodles an easy meal for this mama.
 
Thinking... how much I love blogging and wondering why I have been so lazy about it.  Oh yeah, I get kind of busy with my family's crazy schedule or just with my crazy family :)
.
Wanting... to simplify my life more this year.  Oh yeah, I say that every year.
 
Needing... a massage.  I have had  a gift certificate sitting in my wallet for 8 months waiting.
 
My word for 2016.... Carefree.  Yep, I have decided to become a hippy at 45 :)  OK,  maybe not a hippy.... but a much more easy going person without carrying around so much inner baggage.   That is a tall order and resolution for this anxious chick but I am SERIOUSLY working on it now and have a great bunch of women helping me to be accountable to reach my goal.   Since I quit coloring my hair, I am starting to look a little more granola too :)

    Penny it's so good to see you! I understand the busyness with the kiddos and even though I love to blog I find myself sometimes forcing myself to post. Now I only blog certain days.
    Homemade noodles! Oh, yummy! You're such a great mom.
    Great word for the year. I still haven't come up with mine...
    Hope you have a great day and we will see you around more. :)

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 ...
