Let's Be CRYSTAL Clear

For Today:

Outside My Window: I just went outside. It's been raining and it's cool. Nice day to work outside if you're so inclined...........me, nah. ;-D

I am thinking: Oh, let's see: 1) I shouldn't have stayed up until 3 am watching the Notebook cause now I'm tired 2) I shouldn't have taken such a long nap yesterday and I wouldn't have stayed up till 3 am 3) The smell of coffee hubby made helped to wake me up at 7, otherwise I'd have slept all morning and been up again tonight.

I am thankful for: Bobby being home and safe in his own bed. I'm thankful he had a good time with Katybug's Family!!!!

From the Kitchen: Hmmm, probably steak and cheese subs since Bobby's home. Not sure if he'll be home for dinner cause he works today, but I'm hoping.....

I am hoping: That I can get a lot of cleaning and rearranging done this week, as well as a lot of jeans listed.

I am reading: We finally finished Love and Respect, yay!!!! It was really good, although the reference to pink and blue for men and women got a little old sometimes. If you see us joking about those colors on Facebook, you'll know where it came from!!!!! Still reading Nightlight Devotions and through the Bible in a year.

I am creating: Order, I need order in this house!!!!

I am praying: For Order............... YIKES: and that the mailman is a little late cause I started this blog and forgot to get all my packages ready for pick-up!!!!! I'll be back shortly.....and while I was away I got a fraud alert call from the bank! Since Bobby ran out of money, he charged everything from the beach back to VA and then tried to charge when he went to Lynchburg yesterday but they SHUT HIM DOWN!! Poor Fella. It stinks to be poor!!!!!!

I am hearing: Reb's is half barking, can't seem to put forth the effort for a whole bark which is good since the kids are sleeping. Work being done on the Nursing Home.

One of my favorite things: Bobby brought Rob and I shirts back from Outer Banks and we wore them already last night. And he got me a BIG coffee mug with a lighthouse that says: Commit your ways to the Lord, and He sahll direct you path, Proverbs 3:5. Of course I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! (Thanks Katybug for helping pick it out!!)

Around the house: Bobby's comforter and blanket are laying the living room floor, waiting to be washed. Of course he wants everything washed since the boys slept in his room this weekend, and Sarah wants her stuff washed since Bobby slept in her room, lol!!! She said "Bobby slept in my bed, gross!!!" and I told her that's the same thing HE said when I told him to sleep in your bed!! They are too funny!!!! Can't find my dining room table, so gotta declutter and put away today!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Work work work. Working with Sarah this week plus eBay plus housework = BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marriage Enrichment idea: My heart breaks for couples going through marital difficulties. Rob and I have been there. What we wished we would have learned a long time ago is that in the end, nothing else matters except putting God and each other first. First before work, first before kids, first before hobbies, etc. Make your spouse feel like they are the only thing in this world that's important to you (besides God!!), and that you are willing to do whatever it takes to make things work! For a very special person in my life: Fight for your marriage even when it seems all hope is lost. What seems totally impossible is COMPLETELY possible and easy for God!!! When you think you have nothing left, put your life totally in God's hands and pray for his divine will to be done. HE WILL MAKE A WAY!!!!!!!!

Here is the picture I am sharing: Lots of pics!!!!

Out with the old window!

In with the new!

It's quite a bit smaller than the old one!

Rob's boo boo

My other two sons (for the weekend anyway) Logan and Luke
The only way we could get Rebs to be still for a picture was to get the boys
to hold treats in their hands!
