November Currently

So almost every time that I decide I want to start blogging again but have no idea where to start, I do one of these Currentlys. So Here goes...

Currently I am:

Listening to... the puppy chew on stuff he probably shouldn't be (insert eye roll) and Lucy watching Tik Tok or something similar on her phone.

Loving...that it isn't ridiculously cold outside yet.

Thinking that... I can't believe my third grandchild will be 1 this weekend. Happy Birthday Mr. Magoo aka Rhett (insert heart, kissy face)

Wanting.. to eat Mexican food for supper.

Needing.. for this pandemic to be over, for the world to go back to my sense of normal, and to have more time in a day to get things accomplished (motivation would help too).

I am completely over this pandemic thing. I don't think I can handle another potential shut down. I don't want to shelter at home, virtually work, or wear a mask and bath in hand sanitizer whenever I am around others. My heart is heavy to say the least.

How are you all holding up? In my work we discuss Family Well Being at every visit. I think overall my family is doing well but not me personally. I am too catastrophic and easily anxious. A crazy over thinker and without enough distraction I become obsessed with the doom and gloom scenario. I do not need media to sensationalize it all but boy do I hand them the keys all day, every day.

Anyone else tired? Not physically but emotionally? I know I am not in control of any of this. I have done the part I can, God will see us through the rest.

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...
