Yep, It's Monday again!

For Today:

Outside My Window: The clouds are shining and it looks cold. It's 11:30, thought it would be brighter and warmer by now??!!

I am thinking: I'm not really happy about this UTI I've got going on this morning. My mom is off this week, and I had plans to get sooo much done in addition to doing her job, but so far that ain't happened!!! Just hoping I can stay up long enough to get Bobby's clothes washed and do what I'm supposed to be doing for Sarah, but she doesn't feel good either, so neither one of us is moving this morning.......

I am thankful for: The extra medicine I have hanging around, so I don't have to make a trip to the Doctor today!! I'm also thankful for the wonderful time we had yesterday. We went to Gloucester Point Beach and walked around. From there you could see Yorktown on the other side of the York River, and the neat sailboat "The Schooner Alliance". We decided to cross the bridge and see what was going on there. It was beautiful. People were sunbathing! CRAZY!!! We decided they must be from up North, and this was WARM to them! We walked around and ate at the Beach "Delly". It was great, had a great view of the River from our table! Then we went home, worked a little (VERY little), ate dinner with Mom and Dad, then went by the little beach by our campground to take pictures of the Sunset. It was a perfect day!! (Pictures below, of course!!)

From the Kitchen: Ugh, the thought of food right now makes me queasy.

I am hoping: That Bobby doesn't come home with the motorcycle, dirt bike, whatever it is that he is supposed to be buying after work today!! That we start feeling better around here! That my hubby doesn't get too bogged down with all the extra work he has this week!

I am reading: The same, but bought 2 new books at yard sales Saturday. One is "Becoming the Woman of His Dreams", hmmmm!! Might read that on my sickbed today!!!!!!!!

I am creating: Chaos. Usually trying to control chaos, but it has taken over today. And will be that way all week probably, until Mommy comes back!

I am praying: For healing for us girls. For comfort for Dreama and her family in the loss of Gus, her brother. For Dreama to get her car fixed after hitting the deer (ahummm, the SECOND deer she's hit, but this one she confessed to right away, lol!!!). She's been the family taxi for a while now, and I hate that her car got messed up!!

Ok, ok... I gotta tell ya the Dreama hit the deer story: When we were teenagers, I let her drive my Mom's car on Reformatory Road without a license and she HIT A DEER! Can you believe that??? She would do that to me???? So we traded places real quick and I drove home, and for years, everybody thought I hit the deer. We didn't come clean till years after we were married!!!! Lord, forgive us, but we thought we would go to jail or worse, get killed by my Dad, if we told the truth :-D

I am hearing: The washing machine running. That's all. Bobby just left for work, Sarah just called me in to tell me she doesn't feel like getting up (which means I won't be working with her today).

One of my favorite things: The three hoodie sweatshirts I got at yard sales this weekend. I love the girly girl colors (light pink, neon pink, and lime green), 2 of them say Washington DC, and one says VA Beach. They all look brand new, and they're perfect for the river, where it gets COLD!! Oh yea, and the beautiful crystal vase we bought at the yard sale that has hearts on it. Can't wait to see what flowers look like in it honey, lol!!!! (Not a hint, I still have the last flowers you brought!!)

Around the house: Let's not go there!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Working for my Momma this week, taking Sarah to Wal-Mart tomorrow, maybe to get her hair done Thursday, eBay and housework, and back to the River Friday or Saturday.

Marriage Enrichment idea: We read this in our devotional last night, and I think I've mentioned it before, but it's worth a second thought: Don't let your spouse have to say: "I wish you were as nice to me as you are to the strangers you talk to everyday". Why is it that we feel we can treat our family members with less respect than we do a stranger? Who is more important? Who is going to be there for you no matter what? It won't be a stranger. Treat your family with the same kindness you would bestow on your most honored guest! They deserve it, and they're worth it!!!!!

Here is the picture I am sharing: Pics from this weekend!!


Things that make you go hmmmmm! This is a handicapped parking sign at Sarah's school. I never noticed it till she pointed it out. Am I really supposed to jump the curb and park in the grass? Just asking?
