Oh, I just noticed that this is post 100 for me on this blog. Wow. Happy 100 post to me. Ha ha!

As I look outside my window:
There are still spots of snow laying on the ground here and there and it is a bit chilly ... BUT ... the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the sign that spring is just over a week away is there. It's about 50 degrees right now. I'm so ready for winter to be officially over.
Right now I am:
In the process of doing a deep, spring cleaning around the house. Downstairs especially. We bought a new TV for downstairs and I'm trying to get the rec room to look more liveable. We've been wanting this area to be an extra TV room/play room but we haven't used it much so it gets neglected, especially when it comes to cleaning. Ugh. I have to stop letting it go. The dust in this house accumulates so easily and quickly. I HAVE to keep up with it a lot better than I have. I took care of a few things I said I would before I sat down to blog and once I'm done with this I have more things to do before getting my son off the bus. Whew. I'll be busy this week.
Thinking and pondering:
Of all the things I want to do to the house this week. Giving it a deep clean and some organizing. Wanting to add updated pictures around the house too. Desperately needing new toy bins for all the toys to place downstairs in the rec room. So much clutter. Always. So. Much. Clutter. Also, last week we all caught a bad cold and we're finally getting over it so everything I missed out on doing last week needs caught up on this week.
On my bedside table:
My Bible, which sadly, I haven't picked up in awhile.
On my tv tonight:
I'm not sure. It's always the kids' shows that are on and then once they are in bed my hubby and I browse through the channels until we find something worth watching.
Listening to:
The humming of the computer and the washer and dryer. That's it.
On the menu for this week:
Monday - the kids had leftovers and my husband and I had Pollo Alla Caciatora made by my awesome husband.
Tuesday - Pork chops, mashed potatoes and corn
Wednesday - Crockpot Sausage & Cheese Tortellini
Thursday - tacos and rice
Friday - pizza
On my to do list:
Finishing the laundry (and then that starts all over)
Finish cleaning/reorganizing rec room
Clean bathrooms
Dust/vacuum and all the usual weekly things
Take my daughter's clothes that I boxed up and bagged up to my friend's house so her daughter can have them. Yes, was supposed to do that last week but we were all sick and stuck at home.
Happening this week:
My best friend's birthday is this Thursday. Have to remember to call her.
Going to enjoy some sunshine today and tomorrow (hopefully)
Not anything big or set yet. Just spending the week cleaning and cleaning and making up for not doing much of anything from being sick last week.
If we're all completely well by the weekend I'd love for us to go out and do something fun. I need that. We all do.
What I am sewing, knitting, crocheting or creating:
Nothing (too busy CLEANING)
My simple pleasure:
Being at home snuggling with my family and relaxing with a movie.
Lesson learned the past week:
Don't let housework go ... or else you'll have a bigger mess to clean later. lol
Looking around the house:
I am downstairs in my rec room where our desk top computer sits (the one my hubby built. He's so computer smart). Like I said, I don't spend much time down here. This is where we keep our exercise weights, most of the kids toys, desks, computers, couches, end tables and our new television. There is a door that goes to our second bathroom, another to our laundry room and another to the garage.
From the camera:
Prayer list:
My hubby as he prepares for surgery in two weeks.
Bible verse/devotional:
"Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus" -- Romans 15:5
