FOR TODAY

Outside my window . . . Very overcast and wet . . . Thank the LORD though. I know the ground, trees, and plants needed the rain desperately.

I am thinking . . . I may have painter's ADD. I started painting Alec's room this weekend, but haven't finished . . . yet, today, I really want to get one coat on Ash's room, then head over to Hanna's room.

I am thankful for . . . my sweet boy. Yesterday at church when his friends were sitting down during the singing he was standing up . . . so sweet and honorable.

From the kitchen . . . it is stocked full of food because of my great coupon deals yesterday. I got $185 worth of groceries for $53.

I am wearing . . . PJ pants and a white cami.

I am creating . . . oh so many decorating ideas in my head . . . just got to get started. I'm having to be super creative though . . . because there isn't much $$$ to spend to decorate, so I'm having to think outside the box.

I am going. . . to go into the office today, take Alec to band practice, then to guitar practice.

I am reading . . . only my Bible right now. I have GOT to start reading some of the kids' classical literature books before school starts.

I am hoping . . . Jon will get called for an interview for a job that he will love . . . even if it means less $$$

I am hearing . . . just the typing of the keys. Everyone is still snoozing around here.

Around the house . . . laundry is piled up, lots of work to still be completed, shreds of paper on the floor from the girls playing yesterday . . . but it is filled with love, laughter, and joy!!!

One of my favorite things . . . rocking on my front porch.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . working on the house and definitely taking a break to do to the pool . . . we haven't been since we got home from vacation.

Here is a picture I am sharing with you . . . Another family vacation picture from the beach (notice I am NOT wearing high heels . . . I'm afraid I'm starting to mellow out . . . uh!oh!)
