Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window...sunshine and WIND. In fact it knocked over my chairs on the deck. The heavy metal ones.

I am thinking...laundry is still calling my name and I don't want to answer

I am thankful...this morning went better than yesterday afternoon. Yesterday from 4-7 pm was dealing with the trio of grump-o-saurs'.

From the kitchen...ham and baked sweet potato bar (choose your own toppings: butter, marshmallows, brown sugar...just trying to get the kids to like them). And maybe if I get motivated this afternoon some banana bread.

I am wearing...a black and white striped shirt and jeans but seriously considering sweatpants and a t-shirt!

I am surprised...that my husband ate left overs last night. He never eats them but since he's not had a hot meal all week because of his work schedule guess he gave in.

I am wondering...if ANYONE will take a much needed nap! AND why was child #1 up at 2:30 AM? SLEEP WALKING??

I am hearing...quiet and happy little ones playing

From around the house...a emptied dishwasher! It seems that's all I do these days..fill and empty!

A favorite thing...a little boy with a brand new haircut

A verse..."delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

A picture...

a handsome new big boy haircut and a goose egg that my sister gave me!

a quick trim but look at the difference from the haircut disaster of 2011

Girls are just jamming to their own beat! Tonight's vegetable {for mommy and daddy} oven roasted bacon wrapped aspargus!!!!!!!!!!! Dessert tonight a few Wilbur buds from Litiz PA. Sweet heaven {ok so I didn't take this pic...I couldn't get the right one..just couldn't capture the yumminess} Maybe tonight I finally make a decision on where we are going to stay for vacation??

My little {BIG} fear

So here's my little confession: I have big fears and little fears. But lately one particularly has been plaguing me { AGAIN }. It is the fear of being forgotten, more so being { FORGETTABLE } and indivisible. I don't know what starts it or triggers it, but it can be as simple as an email offering to volunteer for something than not hearing a reply. I guess the last trigger was a group wide calendar was sent out with {every one's} birthday on it except mine. I know that is wasn't done on purpose but my birthday is a sensitive subject to me. Its always been forgotten. Its right around Labor day and the first week of school. So in the busyness its often overlooked. Or in the case of 6th grade its not even written on the calendar. Mrs. Brotherton I think I know when my birthday is...but she still made me go to the Principal's office for arguing with her and I came back successfully with a note that I was indeed correct about knowing my birthday. I digress... I was telli...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
