The Weather:::
Little chilly this morning, it's 36 degrees, but the high this afternoon will be 72 and I'm good with that. Actually the past few days we've had such beautiful warm weather, Saturday afternoon we hit 82, can you believe that? Looking forward to a warm week ahead.
Right now I am:
Sitting up in bed, trying to catch up on my DVR which has gotten way full. I'm also enjoying a cup of coffee and typing this post up.
Thinking:::
About what I need done this week. Also my daughter's ex oyfriend is coming in tonight for a visit and staying tomorrow as well. Long story, but to summarize, he is very much in love with her and has made a lot of changes, cut a lot of bad influences from his life and made apologies just at the possibility of a second chance with her. As a mother, it is always a worry because we don't want our children to hurt, but I also firmly believe that everyone deserves a second chance if they truly want it, and recognize what they did wrong and are willing to do everything in their power to fix it. We don't know what tomorrow will bring, but as parents all we can do is support our children and be there for them through the good and the bad times, right?
Looking forward to:::
Getting some more organizing done in the house, and preparing for my family to arrive in 2 weeks. Goodness time flies. Also looking forward to another week of workouts, I did so well last week and managed to stick with it and hold myself accountable. I feel so much better :)

Looking around the house:::
Just the usual cleaning and tidying up, the only room that needs a little more effort is my green living room, that's where we watch TV, play games etc, and my son played Playstation for a few hours yesterday, so he's left his shoes and socks laying around, empty bowls, glasses etc. Boys, boys, boys.
From the camera:::
Just a little preview of what I did this weekend
On my prayer list:::
My brother and sister in law, for their upcoming move. Hoping my brother manages to get a transfer here to Texas, but if not, then that they both find jobs pretty quickly.
For this country, more and more I am sadness by some of the things I see. It's really heartbreaking to witness how God keeps being removed from everything around us.
Bible verse, devotional, favorite quote:::
I hope things work out with your daughter's ex. Your menu sounds yummy! Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteSo you piqued my interest - what went in the totes?
ReplyDeleteBIG prayers that things go well for Jasmine as she meets with her ex. I know as a momma bear you just want to wrap her up and protect her from any potential pain. Kudos to you for being supportive AND protective at the same time.
Also BIG prayers for your brother and his family as they take the plunge to make a big move also.
Have a wonderful week my friend.
I like that quote. Happy monday, and thank you for hosting. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I dream of 70 degree weather - soak up extra sunshine for me! ;)
ReplyDeletePrayers all will go well for Jasmine's sake. And I so relate with your boys boys boys comments and their often laziness and lack of cleanliness! Lol!
Hope you have a great week ahead. thanks for hosting! xoox
Your menu looks delicious. I may take some of yours into consideration as I make mine today.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well with Jasmine and her ex. You are a very forgiving momma, as I don't know that I'd let him come stay with us after seeing my daughter so upset. I guess I've got a lot to work on before my kids are dating.
I can't wait to see your finished blanket.
Have a wonderful week.
I hope things work out for Jasmine! It's good to see you getting warmer weather, I know how things can just shut down in Texas if it snows! Have a beautiful week!
ReplyDeleteI hope that all goes well and that things go well with the boyfriend visit. I know that you will guide them as best as you can. xx
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well for your daughter and her ex. Wow, what great weather you've had there. Warmer weather always makes me happy. Hope you have a wonderful week!
