Linking up with Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom.
As I look outside my window:
Beautiful clear sky, bright and sunny. The trees are blowing from the breeze. Mid 60's. Loving it!
Right now I am:
Taking a little break from housework and watching an episode of True Tori. It's a recent reality show about Tori Spelling talking about her issues and problems after her husband Dean McDermitt cheated on her. I used to watch the Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood so I thought I'd watch this just for curiosity. Although it's hard for me to feel sorry for this couple. Tori and Dean both met on the set of a movie they were making together in Canada; both were married to others and cheated on them with each other. So this was to be expected, wasn't it? Although I know I shouldn't judge others. Yet at the same time, it's no surprise. I'm also in the midst of doing the laundry and other housework ... surprise, surprise.
Thinking and pondering:
About how busy life has become. It's nice to have these moments where I can plop down on the couch and take a few minute breather. I'm also thinking of my husband who will be celebrating his 35th birthday at the end of this week. It's been a rough year for him so I want to make it a special day. Yesterday we celebrated 12 years of marriage. I love him!
On my bedside table:
Remember months ago when I said my children's baby books were sitting on my end table in the bedroom needing to be updated? They are still there and still need to be updated. I should probably get on that while the baby memories are still fresh in my mind.
On my TV this week:
Tuesdays I like watching 19 Kids and Counting and The Little Couple. That's probably the only shows we watch that I completely enjoy. The other times are shows my husband and kids pick.
Listening to:
The TV and also the dryer downstairs.
On the menu:
I usually keep this blank and only write what I'm making on Mondays since I'm not a good weekly planner. I dream of being able to plan my meals for the entire week. It's easier that way; however, I don't. Not always. Tonight we are having corn on the cob and I'm going to have to decide what I want to make with it ... chicken or pork chops?
On my to do list:
Laundry - wash/fold/put away
Wash bedding
Spring cleaning in all the bedrooms
Order tickets to Friday's ball game
Happening this week:
Taking my son to tball practice tomorrow and a game on Thursday
Taking hubby to the doctor for a follow up appt on Wednesday
My husband's birthday Friday
My son is going to Long Island with my parents this weekend
Have to check on the neighbor's cat here and there while they are away on vacation this week.
What I am creating:
Again, still too busy but I'd love to start a craft with the kids sometime soon.
My simple pleasure:
Listening to music
Looking around the house:
Toys are stacked in one corner of the room. I moved the bird cage to that side of the room as well since our cockatiel was making too much of a mess where he was before. I just swept the floor so that's free of crumbs and dirt. I also vacuumed the area rug in the living room so that looks spotless. I'm sure once the kids come around with their snacks that will change.
From the camera:
Prayer list:
For myself - That my relationship with God grows stronger. That I improve on being a better wife and mother each day.
My husband - For the physical healing he needs. That he also grows stronger as a Christian.
My son - That he isn't influenced wrongly by the world and his surroundings. Now that he's in school and making several friends he so easily falls into doing what others are doing.
My daughter - That she continues to be healthy as she grows. Also have been working on potty training and it's been tough.
