My Daybook

 

For today...Monday, May 16, 2011 

Outside my window... More rain & cooler weather.  It is only 47 degrees here.  Crazy weather we have in OH Valley.  It was close to 90 last week.

I am thinking... that I have done pretty good on my diet & working out last week.  Only had one mess up with junk food. 

I am thankful ... that my nephew only has 10 more days until he graduates from Basic Training & Military Police training for the Army.  So excited I get to see him soon.  

I am wearing... blue nylon pants, BMX t-shirt & slippers.

I am hearing... refrig kicking on, t.v & the birds chirping outside my window. 

I am planning... meals for this week.

I am creating... simplicity in our lives.  Decided that my J-Bird was going to sit out for 11-12 season of Allstar cheer.  Just too much money & not enough time for it this yr.  I will let her cheer in the youth league for football though.  That's plenty for her to be involved in.

I am going... to work today.  Taking off tomorrow, since the kids are out of school.

I am reading... Another one of Debbie Macomber's book.  "Manning Brothers."

I am hoping/praying... that gas prices drop.  We are at $4.09 right now.  This is really putting a strain on the pocket book.  :(

From the learning rooms... homework.

Noticing that ... people seemed very grumpy at the grocery store yesterday.  It is probably because of all the price increases. 

From the kitchen... Easy night tonight.  Hot dogs & Mac n cheese.  Both boys have to be at their ball fields @ 5:00.

Around the house... laundry & cleaning tomorrow.

One of my favorite things... going to the zoo with my kids.  MIL got us a season pass, so we can go as much as we like.     

A few plans for the rest of the week... tonight-BMX kid has a baseball game & Bubba has a softball game.  Softball may get cancelled cause of wet fields.  Tues-kids are out of school, so I think we are going to go to the zoo.  We will take a picnic lunch too.  Wed-Fri, not much going on.  Staying home for once.  Sat-BMX kid has baseball tourney game (if they win tonight).  He also has State & local BMX race to attend.  We have also been invited to a birthday party.  Not sure if we will make that one.  Sun-church, then later Bubba has softball practice. 
 
From my picture journal...  DH & I.  Most recent pic of us.  Terrible pic of me though.  Yesterday, we celebrated our 7th anniversary.  Love this man so much & I am looking forward to many more happy years with him.  God blessed me with a great man.  :)
