The weather... right now its in the low 40's -which means I made my son change from his shorts into pants-he was not a happy camper, I could tell by the way he slowly said  Yes Ma'am  then hung his head as he went back into his room to change, which made me smile thinking of when our children were young and we had to scold them but they were so cute we had to try very hard not to laugh.


On my bedside table... My barely touched reading pile, lamp, lotion, clock.


On my T.V... Little House On The Prairie We are now on Season 2 and my hubby says I've got him hooked on it -I am baffled how he never watched it growing up. I loved the episode called Harvest of friends where Charles works 2 jobs but gets hurt and the men of the town all come to help him. I also forgot about all the guest stars like Sean Penn

On the menu for this week...
Our menu changed a bit last week due to my son staying home sick one day and hubby wanting 8 can soup last night.  It should be easier this week but I find myself not so excited. I feel like I lose my mojo if my menu plan changes but just gonna roll with it.


M- Spaghetti with meat sauce, toasted bread, and Green Salad.
T- C/P meal moved from last week-Pesto chicken
W-Cheese Enchiladas, rice & beans
T-???
F-Pizza & Salad
S-???
S- C/P meal moved over from last week-BBQ Chicken


P.S. I'm still dreaming of this Chicken parm. from Olive Garden ...

On my to do list... Laundry, Dishes, and a few chores. I feel a bit burned out today as I've been having Migraines on and off.


What am I creating... Not much as I'm struggling with getting my tension right. And am in a planner funk at the moment.


Looking forward to... My daughter coming home from her robotics competition , They advanced and will be traveling to Lubbock -she hasn't even left yet and I miss her. She is always so busy,  I think Kids now a days hardly have any down time. One of the reasons I like to hang out at home. Plus I am excited for her but also dreading her going off to college next year.


Looking around the house... NOPE lol it's clean but I'm just not feeling it. might be the fact that we have tons of valentines candy everywhere.


From the Camera... I took this picture for my Sister in Law and I only had to take 100 photos to get this guy to pose for me lol

He also got to play Doctor to My Adam who was home sick...

 

One of my Simple pleasures ... Toast with Butter & Jam

Bible Verse or Devotional...

"Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you main gain wisdom for the future."

Proverbs 19:20

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::

My simple pleasure... Prayer and Music and lots of coffee




Lesson learned the past week...
continue to know that I can do all though Christ who gives me strength. It is so true that if you commit your work to the lord you will succeed. im sure it seems so silly to those that do not have a relationship with the lord but even or I should say especially the little things get done if I just ask for energy and to have a productive day.

 
Looking around the house...:::covers eyes:::

My daughter sent me these photos from a close friends princess party. She had not one but 5 princesses! also a photo of my daughter and our God Son.

Safe Travels for all those on the road for the holidays
