My Daybook

Outside my window... thunder & lighting, only 63 degrees.  Very mild temps this week.  Now this is my kind of temps.

I am thinking... about my nephew Tyler, who was deployed to Korea this past Friday.  He had to leave all that is comfortable to him for the 1st time.  He just graduated from Basic training/Military Police training May 26th.  He also had to leave his new fiancee.  

I am thankful ... that Tyler made it to Korea safely.

I am wearing... grey nylon pants & t-shirt.  Getting ready to put my work clothes on.

I am planning... to print out some Math worksheets for my J-Bird, to work on this summer.  She got a "needs improvement" in Math this last term.  

I am creating... summer school & reading plans for my kids, here at home.

I am going... to get serious about my losing weight.  I weight more now, then I ever have, with the exception of being pregnant.  I am so mad at myself.  :(

I am reading...  Just finished Debbie Macomber's "Manning Grooms."  Getting ready to start a new one of her books.  Not sure which one yet.

I am hoping... for a relaxed & fun summer with the kiddos & DH.  Love those guys.
From the learning rooms... getting ready to start J-Bird on a summer school Math program here at home.
Noticing that ... I need to lose some weight & start thinking about my health.
From the kitchen... Tonight...kids want chicken nuggets, boneless wings.  I guess I will make some veggies & mac/cheese with it.  Thurs...Roast, potatoes, & carrots.  Rest of the week...not sure cause BMX Kid & DH are leaving for a BMX race.  Me & the other 3 kids are staying home.  

Around the house... too many piles of laundry that need to be tackled.  3 of the kids went to FL with their dad last week & I have tons of laundry to put away.  At least I got them washed.  :)
One of my favorite things... The peace and quiet of morning with me sitting in my favorite chair, looking out the window, drinking my coffee and reading my favorite blogs.  I love this time of the day.  It's my "me" time.  Ahhhhh!!!!

A few plans for the rest of the week... Today, I have to work.  BMX Kid is suppose to have a local race tonight, but it is getting ready to rain for most of the day.  Also, I am getting my hair chopped off.  It is just past my shoulders now & it will be just past ears later tonight.  Thurs-work & later the gym.  Fri-work, then relaxing with the kids & DH.  Sat-3 of the kids & I are hanging out for the day, while DH & BMX kid go to his Regional race.  Me & the other kids are staying home.  They get bored at the races & frankly it cost too much for all 6 of us to go to the out of town races.  Sun-church, lunch with my sister, going to visit my Mom at the cemetery, then going to visit my Dad & FIL for Father's Day. 

From my picture journal...3 pics to share this week.

For today...Monday, May 2, 2011 

Outside my window... Raining again.  We had one day off from the rain, but it came back yesterday.  Ughhh.

I am thinking...that I really need to starting eating right & working out again.  While taking care of my mother, I wasn't able to get out much.  I have gained too much.  Emotional eating will do that to you.  :(

I am thankful ... that the rain stopped for a short while yesterday, for my baby's First Communion.  She was in a pretty white dress.  

I am wearing... blue nylon pants & baseball t-shirt.

I am hearing... t.v & the birds chirping outside my window.  Love that sound.

I am planning... nothing today.  Going to relax after our longggg weekend.

I am creating... simplicity.

I am going... Picking my girls up from school & that is it...thank goodness. 

I am reading... not much time to read right now, but going to start back soon.



I am hoping/praying... that things don't happen, now that Bin Laden was killed.  Scared there my be more terrorist attacks.  Also praying BMX kid has a great time on his 8th grade trip to WA/VA.  Going to miss him dearly though.

From the learning rooms... homework for Big O.  Rest of kids are doing more testing for a few days.

Noticing that ... the birds are the only creatures happy with all this rain we are getting.

From the kitchen... Leftovers from Mark's Feed Store.  They catered Big O's First Communion party yesterday.  Yummo.

Around the house... Absolutely nothing.  House is cleaned from the party.  :)

One of my favorite things... Spending days outside with my kids.  Looking forward to doing this, once this rain stops.   

A few plans for the rest of the week... tonight-BMX kid has a baseball game tonight, if it is not canceled.  Tues-work, then BMX kid has a ballgame.  Wed-work, then BMX kid has a meeting for his trip next week.  Thurs-J/Bird has a game, but she only gets to watch cause she has a broken arm.  :(  Fri-Is Oak's Day here in KY.  Might be going to a friends house after work.  Sat-DERBY DAY!!!  Going to spend the day w/ my family & friends at a Derby party.  Can't wait.  Sun-Church.  Dropping BMX kid off for his 8th grade trip to WA/VA, then going to visit my mother's grave.  Not looking forward to this Mother's Day w/o her here with me.  Going to be one of the hardest days of my life.  Later, hoping to go out to eat with my DH & the rest of my kiddos. 

From my picture journal... 

BMX Kid came is 1st in Local & State races this weekend.

Outside my window... sun is starting to rise & it is going to be a beautiful, sunny, 58 degrees later.  Spring is on it's way.  :)

I am thinking... that I probably need to start stock piling things from the grocery in my basement & garage before prices are unbearable.  Good Morning America just said with gas prices going up, that will make shipping cost go up, which will increase cost of things at the store.  That is just too scary, with how high prices are already.

I am thankful ... for mine & my hubby's job.

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

I am planning... a day of cleaning up & a new hair cut. 

I am creating... a weekly dinner schedule.  With my kids starting spring sports & my daughter is still in cheerleading until the end of the month, I need to organize dinner better.

I am going... store, hair appt, & gym.

I am reading... not much time to read right now.

I am hoping... all the fighting ends soon in Libya.  I am praying for the innocent people daily.

From the learning rooms... J-Bird has Reading, Big O has a story (1 paragraph) to write, Bubba has Lang Arts & Math, BMX kid needs to study for a Spanish test.

Noticing that ... the birds are starting to sing in the morning.  A sign that spring is on it's way.

From the kitchen... Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans & rolls.  Yummo!!!

Around the house... cleaning, laundry, & cooking dinner.

One of my favorite things... the sun rising & coming through the windows. 

A few plans for the rest of the week... Well, Mon & Tues I worked & J-Bird had private tumbling practice & cheer practice.  Today, I am off, but have lots to do (cleaning, store, hair appt. & gym).  BMX Kid has baseball practice, & later kids have Religious Ed classes.  Thurs, J-Bird has her first softball practice & BMX Kid has baseball practice.  Hopefully I can get to the gym.  Fri, is my BIG 40th birthday & I get to spend it at J-Bird's cheer practice.  I think DH & kids are taking me to dinner before we go to practice.  Sat, kids are going to their dad's & stepson is going to his moms, so DH & I are going on a date.  J-Bird also has softball practice.  Sun, J-Bird has her 1st competition with the All-Star team @ the Convention Center.  
 
From my picture journal... J-Bird at her competition last Sat. for Dragon Youth Cheer.  They came in 3rd out of 6 teams.  Pretty good considering we have 4 & 5 yr olds on the team & they were competing against 9-11 yr olds.  Way to go girls.  Very proud of you all.

Outside my window... the sun has risen & we are going to have warm 50 degree temps today, with some rain later.  Loving this warmer weather, but I am sure it is just a teaser.

I am thinking... about how if I talk to my kids when I am aggravated at them, instead of speaking loudly or yelling at them...they respond to me so much better & life in general is so much smoother. 

I am thankful ... my DH neck problem is getting better.  He hurt his neck almost 2 weeks ago & thought he was going to have to have it X-ray, but it is much better.  I still think he needs to see the doc though.

I am wearing... black yoga pants, white t-shirt & socks.

I am planning... hummmm, nothing right now.

I am creating... a cleaner house.  Or getting ready too.  :)

I am going... to the gym, after I drop the girls off to school, then the store.  Later Big O's Parent/Teacher Conference.

I am reading... my favorite blogs.

I am hoping... that my back feels better after a good workout this morning.

From the learning rooms... J-Bird & Big O need to study for spelling test for Friday.  Bubba has a current event due this week, along with Math work & BMX Kid has some Spanish studying to do.

Noticing that ... people are so much happier with warmer temps.  Everyone seemed so nice lately.

Around the house... need to do mounds of laundry, clean the house, & make dinner.

One of my favorite things... sitting outside on my deck on a warm morning, drinking my coffee, with just me, the laptop, & the birds. 

A few plans for the rest of the week... P/T Conference today for Big O, another one tomorrow for J-Bird.  The gym the rest of the week (except for Fri.)  Working the concession stand at UofL game Friday night.  This is a fundraiser for J-Bird's cheerleading.  I can work lots of games, concerts, events, etc to earn money for her account with the cheer company.  It is a program that our city has here to help promote youth sports & help parents financially.  Sat...I think I am going to take my girls to see the Justin Bieber movie, then the gym, later the kids are going to their dads/stepson going to his moms.  DH & I will have a date night.  Sun...church, DH & I will probably go to the gym (kids still at their other parents), and later J-Bird has a 2 hr. competition practice. 

From my picture journal... my Valentine's gift from kids & DH.  God has blessed me sooo much, with my wonderful family.  Sorry...pic was taken from my phone.  Doesn't do my beautiful flowers justice.  I received these at work on Friday.  He wanted me to enjoy them over the weekend.  They still look beautiful today.  Love them.

Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week.  For more day book entries, please go visit, The Simple Woman's Daybook.

From the kitchen...  Breakfast will be waffles, lunch will be a sandwiches, and dinner is lasagna with garlic bread sticks & a salad.  Yummy.

I am wearing...  Knit capri pants & t-shirt.

I am creating...  A workout scheduled.  Gotta get serious & moving.

I am going...  Not too many places.  Just taking kids to school, then to the store, pick kids back up from school & later to practices.  Ok, so maybe that is quite a few places.

I am reading...  Same ol' stuff.  Blogs & Debbie McComber's Cedar Cove Series.

I am hoping...  That my DH has a safe & good work week in St. Louis.  And that my cousins surgery is successful.

I am hearing...  The humming of the computer & the TV in the background.

Around the house...  Need to do my weekly cleaning & some laundry.

One of my favorite things...  Fall time.  Love the smell of leaves turning, love the quietness & crispness/coolness of the mornings.  Love watching the sun come down in the cooler evenings, sitting outside. 

A few plans for the rest of the week...  Homework & dinner (at home) every night.  Tonight, J-Bird has cheer practice & BMX Kid has baseball practice.  Tuesday, J-Bird has tumbling practice for cheer.  Wed, Bubba & Big O have Religious Ed classes (J-Bird goes on Sundays) & BMX Kid has a baseball game.  Thurs. J-Bird has competition practice.  Friday, is family time.  Saturday, J-Bird has to cheer at a football game & BMX Kid will probably have a race that evening.  Sunday, church, lunch, baseball game, & later J-Bird has competition practice.
Wow, I am tired now, after typing all that we have to do this week.  Sept. & Oct are busy months for two of the kids with sports, but they love it. 

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...  Sending lots of prayer request to our Lord today for loved ones.  Please Dear God, watch over all of them.
