I'm blessed!

For Today:

Outside My Window: There's a gorgeous pink and yellow sunrise! Wish I could see it from my living room window every morning instead of having to go outside to view!!

I am thinking: I am blessed, and happy, and content.

I am thankful for: A lot of time this weekend to catch up on housework. No eBay all weekend except for yard sales Saturday morning, and buying something special on there for my Daddy and Rob!! A great cupcake date with my hubby last night. Who says dates have to be expensive? A little Food Lion, a little cupcake, a little laughter, and lot of love and affection! It's all good :-)

From the Kitchen: Don't really know yet, but something good that makes leftovers. Rob's working 12 hours all week, and I need a good substantial lunch for my man!

I am hoping: God knows what I'm hoping, even if I can't talk about it. But God is faithful, and I have lots of faith, and it's gonna be alright!

I am reading: Same great devotionals and through the Bible in a year. Now it talks to me, so I can listen instead of read. That's kinda cool, but a little distracting.

I am creating: Surprise, another eBay strategy. No work at all on the weekends. It worked out pretty good this weekend. I need that time for housework and time with my hubby! And, my mommy will be happy she doesn't have so much laundry to do on Monday mornings!!!!!

I am praying: For Bobby to find a job with insurance. For our Church. For Sarah to be healed and able to go back to work. For Rob to have strength this week working 12 hour days.

I am hearing: Nothing. Bobby just went back to bed after going outside to see Katybug. Everything is sooo quiet except for the occasional car going down the street.

One of my favorite things: The flowers Rob brought me last week! I finally got the dining room table cleaned off, and they still look so pretty sitting there!

Around the house: Well, gotta finish cleaning. The kitchen and dining room are great. The den is full of suitcases that need to be listed, but I think I'll take them out and bring in one at a time until I get them done. Yes, I've used up every storage container I have, and have moved on the the two sets of luggage that were up in the attic! Sooooo, there are 5 suitcases full of stuff in here!!!! The living room was free of containers for about a day. Then I started filling it back up. It's the only place I have to put the great big containers of jeans!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Wal-Mart this morning. Shoney's with Dreama one day I hope. Amanda and Stephen are coming over Thursday for Lasagne! That's about all right now.

Marriage Enrichment idea: Purpose for one week to do something nice and unexpected for your spouse every day. A kind and encouraging word, and chore without asking, bring her flowers or give him a backrub. Try turning off the TV and spend at least 20 minutes a day of uninterupted time with your spouse. At breakfast, after dinner, before bedtime, whenever you can work it in. But it takes commitment, everybody is so busy these days. I thank God that we don't watch a lot of TV anymore. When you go to bed at 8:30, there's not a lot of time to watch anyway, lol!! But think about this, is my favorite show more important that nurturing my relationship with my spouse? I hope you didn't answer yes to that question!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the picture I am sharing: My kitty Mitzi! She's hilarious. Anybody who's ever been to my house knows that you can't pet Mitzi. She just won't allow it. Well, expect for Katybugs brother DJ. For some reason, she just loves him and he can do what nobody else has ever been able to!! BUT.... put a cat brush in your hand and she's all yours! She LOVES to be brushed. She'll come to anybody as long as you have her brush, but put it down and she's outta there!!!
She loves her brush so much that she brushes herself all the time. Here she is, that crazy, self-grooming cat, lol!!!!
