As I look outside my window:
Sunny with snow covering the ground. We had about an inch of snow fall throughout the night. Not as much as they expected and I'm okay with that. It's a bitter 23 degrees.
Right now I am:
Sitting on a heating pad. I've been exercising a lot but recently decided to kick it up a notch and boy did that make my legs and butt sore. It will be worth it though. My son, who is home sick today, is sitting next to me playing Mario on the Wii. My daughter, who is also sick, is napping. Hoping she gets the rest she needs. She has a runny nose and fever.
Thinking and pondering:
- About this blog and what more I'd like to write about. I want to keep it updated as often as possible.
- My husband's surgery which is in exactly 3 weeks from today. I worry about him, even though he seems so calm and okay with it. We have a lot do to around the house before the surgery. He won't be able to walk for a few weeks or maybe a month after.
- About my kids and hoping they can get rid of this cold soon. My throat has been feeling scratchy and I'm hoping I don't get hit with it full force.
- What to make for dinner this week.
My Bible.
On my TV tonight:
Monday nights are Cake Boss. Tomorrow night a new season of The Little Couple is on and I really want to watch that and on Wednesday's we watch Duck Dynasty. Other nights we just seem to channel surf until we find something worth watching.
Listening to:
The music from the Mario game and my son getting frustrated with himself when he keeps losing.
On the menu:
Burgers and fries ... by the request of our son.
On my to do list:
Finish laundry
Sweep floors
Finish packing my daughter's old clothes and then pass them along to a friend who has a daughter.
Organize all areas of the house
Mentally prepare for hubby's surgery in 3 weeks/Also get things around the house ready.
Happening this week:
Early dismissal for my son on Wednesday
This weekend me and my daughter are hanging out with my mom while the guys who to an indoor monster truck show. That's if everyone is well by then.
What I am sewing, knitting, crocheting or creating:
I made cupcakes yesterday. And in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday I made them with purple icing (like in The Cat In The Hat movie). It's the little things that keep my kids happy.
My simple pleasure:
Having a family that is NOT sick.
Lesson learned the past week:
I've been teaching myself how to adjust to change and accept it. See previous post. I've realized that even though it's hard to face changes the change can bring on amazing things.
Looking around the house:
Boxes and bags of my daughter's clothes sit in the dining room waiting for me to put them in the car. Toys are in every corner of the living room (as usual). My son is now playing Legos on the living room floor.
From the camera:
What do you do with a box the new dishwasher came in? Turn it into a house
Prayer list:
My children getting over their sicknesses
My husband's upcoming hip replacement surgery
Bible verse/Devotional:
"And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." -- Matthew 18:3
I'm sorry your kids are sick, hoping you don't get it too. Will be thinking of your husband and his surgery and praying for him.
