I've been busy all morning getting housework done while keeping up with a very active two year old. Somehow I managed to get a little weight lifting done in the midst of all the other stuff. Now as Brianna naps and the last load of laundry finishes in the dryer I'm going to take a quick break to write this up.
Teaming up with Sandra.

The Weather ...
COLD! And only going to get colder. I guess we can officially say goodby to the warm summer weather. Fall is here and winter is on it's way. We were freezing at the bus stop this morning. I do not like the cold weather ... but it is a good excuse to snuggle under a blanket with a cup of hot coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
Right now I am ...
Typing up this blog as I wait for the last load of clothes to finish in the dyer. Then I'll put them away and start washing the bedding. Taking a moment to relax before continuing with the housework. I was on my feet doing so much this weekend and this morning. I deserve a few minutes of rest, don't I?
Thinking ...
Of different issues I've been facing and how to deal with them. Trying to do it all the godly way.
Of all the things I need to get done before the end of the week.
On my reading pile ...
Bible
In Pursuit of Peace by Joyce Meyer - This is a book I've already had for many years. It's been sitting on my book shelf along with many other Joyce Meyer books. I decided to open it up and read it again. This particular book is filled with ideas and advice I really need right now.
I finished reading This Side of Heaven by Karen Kingsbury. I love every book I have read from this author and this book was just as great. A total tearjerker.
On my TV ...
7th Heaven on the UP channel. This episode was originally aired in 2002. Rob and I used to watch the show every Monday when it was on. What a wonderful fiance/husband he was for sitting through my shows.
On the menu for this week ...
Monday - tacos
Tuesday - chicken alfredo rollups. I saw this on Pinterest and have been dying to try it. I love chicken alredo.

-Friends coming here on Saturday to hang out with us and join in on the benefit our neighbors are having for their three year old son with special needs. They are blocking part of our road and having face painting, animals and lots of fun stuff to raise money for The Leg Up Farm which helps children like this little boy get the therapy they need.
Looking around the house...
Bright sunshine peaking through the windows, tv on, most of the toys put away, house smells of the candle burning in the kitchen. Little fall decorations around the house.
From the camera...
On my prayer list ...
My children
My husband
My family & friends
That I can learn how to give my heart completely and fully to God
Letting go of fears and past experiences that seem to haunt me
Bible verse/Devotional
" And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." - Colossians 3:15 (NKJ)
Those pumpkins are cute!
