Friday Fill-in: Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun...

Happy Friday, everyone!!  Sorry it has been awhile again.  I am trying to sneak in some homework, worship prep for Bible study and some real quality time with the kids.  Also, I have been seriously trying to write...stories, that is.  Anyway, if you are wondering where I am, that's where.


Here's a Fill-in, though.  Thought I could at least do that!!

And...here we go! 

1. In the near darkness I wake in the morning to the alarm.  And then I sigh...At least it's Friday today!!

2. I will be drinking coffee this morning till further notice.  It's just one of those mornings, ya know?

3. But this song, though horrid, always gets stuck in my head!!
(Hee! Hee!  Now it's in yours!!)

4. I'd like to throw all of the housework I have to do in the stream. Perhaps it would just float away???  Maybe I should just do it instead!!

5. It's always nice to wake up to the sun shining, the birds singing and the fresh smell of coffee.

6. We have small group on Sunday which is always good, especially now that we are studying Hosea, and is filled with pleasant company.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to doing some more of our couple study that the hubby and I are doing, and perhaps watching a movie, tomorrow my plans include driving people places and then doing the WHOLE large group time (twice!!) for Promiseland and Sunday, I want to relax, go to small group, and then relax some more!!

Spring Into Reading Thing 2011

I am participating in the Spring into Reading since I enjoyed the fall one so much.  Here is my list of books.  I will add to it as I go on.  I will have to be done Lake of Dreams by Sunday since it has to go back to the library...  Then I will move on...

1)  Little Bee - Chris Cleave (Read)


2)  Lake of Dreams - Kim Edwards (Currently Reading)
3) The House at Riverton - Kate Morton
4) The Distant Hours - Kate Morton
5) Bringing Up Boys - James Dobson
6) ...

Hard Times

Well, the job prospects are looking more and more bleak.  They are laying off more staff in the school system this coming year.  So, what now?  What does God have in store?  I am not sure.  I know He has brought me to this place in time for a reason.  Maybe He's pushing me to something that I don't think I can do...like writing or something like that.  Anyway, I will wait and ask for prayer for patience and wisdom about what He wants me to do.  I will keep you posted.

In any case, Tangled comes out next week.  If you haven't seen it, please make sure you do.  It is REALLY good.  One of the best princess movies ever.  I pre-ordered my copy, if just so I can watch it.  I can't wait till it arrives on my doorstep!  Until then, here's the song from my favorite scene with the floating lanterns...So romantic and so beautiful.  I cried....

FOR TODAY


Outside my window... It is going to be a lovely, yet chilly day.  Cars pass quickly on their way to work

I am thinking...  That I soon have to get Aidan up and dressed for school.  He has his Arts-Centered performance today.

I am thankful for... The nice weather we have been having lately.

From the kitchen...  The smell of coffee wafts in.  Mmmm coffee!

I am wearing...  Jeans, a long sleeved striped shirt with my black t-shirt over top (it has puffed sleeves!!)

I am creating... More videos soon of trips, birthdays, etc.  I hope to make some more DVDs soon.  The kids love watching themselves on TV!

I am going... To go to Aidan's school this morning and watch his performances.  Dancing and Choir!

I am reading... "Lake of Dreams" by Kim Edwards.  Its a bit eerie as it starts out with the main character living in Japan where they are experiencing lots of earthquakes....Perhaps it is too early to read a book with that kind of subject matter.

I am hoping... That the people in Japan are safe, and are going to be alright.  I pray for them often.

I am hearing...  The cars race pass and the coffee maker.

Around the house...  There are toys, clutter and dust.  A reminder that I need to clean before Aidan's party next week.

One of my favorite things...  Is just to sit in the silence before the kids get up.  So nice and calm...

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Well, church on Saturday, taxes, a Ranger meeting, laundry

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
