1/8/11

1) Hanging out with my friend Brenda and helping her organize her new scrapbook room.

2) Having a husband who doesn't ever act like he has to "babysit" his own children.

3) NyQuil to help tame this headache so that I don't waste my weekend sleeping. 

1/7/11

1) Going into the Scout Office and getting to catch up on some paperwork.  I know some people think that I am crazy to do so much with scouting and not get paid, but volunteering and helping the people I do brings a lot of satisfaction.  I like helping people.  Besides, they gave me my own office space and it is fun to be able to go in and start a job, finish it and make a difference.  :-)

2) The library had two new books in by two of my fav authors, one read, 1/2 of one to go.  I can't imagine not being able to read.  Thank goodness for clever people who share their imaginations!

3) The unexpected treat of Randy and Teresa calling and wanting to take us out to dinner.  We had a lot of laughs, caught up and ate a yummy dinner.  I also love the fact that we don't have to get babysitters anymore.

For some reason, I couldn't get anything to post yesterday, so here is yesterday's list.

1) Reading the scriptures with my kids each day before school.  It is really amazing to hear their insights.  We don't read a ton of verses each day, sometimes it is only 10 verses and then discussion, but that 15-20 minutes is very precious to me.  I think that between that and our prayer before school, it helps all of us.  We all notice a difference when we end up missing.  It is one of the things that I missed terribly while we were all apart.

2) A handful of walnuts and a Gala apple for lunch.  Yum.

3) Reading two books this week by an author that I really like. 

Today;

1) Spending the day in my scrapbook room creating beautiful things for Diane's Stampin' Up display.  I did all home dec items and loved how they turned out. 

2) Going to Diane's open house tonight to stamp with my friends and catch up on the last 10 weeks of every one's life. 

3) My sweet hubby comes home tonight.  Sigh...he really is cute. 

1/4/11

1) Shon is safe and sound in his hotel room.  Grateful we have at least one car that works and he can travel safely. 
2) Sitting around the table at our dinner table with all my kids tonight, laughing over silly movie quotes. 
3) Finally getting the cupboard in my main bathroom sorted out and organized.  Threw away old stuff, moved our first aid kits in there, toilet paper stacked...I think it might actually have a chance of it staying that way this time because I used those  pink bins from the hospital to hold the items after I sorted them.  Who knew you could knew you could get handy dandy ugly storage for only $5000.00 a bin?

1/3/11

1) Happy news for someone close to us and designing cute things to make for the event. 
2) Getting to play in my craft room.
3) Saw the bottom of two of the laundry baskets...won't say how many are left...choosing to look on the bright side.  Things might go faster if they would stop dirtying new clothes, of course January in MT is the wrong time to encourage a nudist lifestyle.  LOLL

1/2/11

1) A hot, hot shower to chase away the aches from the cold. 
2) Being the parent who is able to ignore the teens protesting my long shower.  :-)
3) Being with all of my children, even if they think our rules are biased towards the adults in this family.  They learned a new term...Double Standard.  loll
