**As I look out my window.....
The sun is brightly shining on the forest in our backyard. It is letting us know it will be another hot one!
**Right now I am....
Trying to get my bearings. I woke up too many times last night and so it threw me off my morning routine. I am trying to get myself going.
**Thinking and Pondering....
To be honest I had a lot of things I wanted to accomplish today and it is much later than anticipated when I woke up due to my lack of sleep. I am trying to decide the flow of the day. I am also pondering and thinking on implementing better eating because I haven't been doing the best with that and I am feeling it.
**How am I feeling....
I just feel blessed and peaceful. I have this amazing source (Jesus) and He calms all my fears and worries.
**On the Breakfast plate....
Coffee!! Normally, I eat a good breakfast but due to my late wake up time I decided to skip.
**On the Lunch plate.....
More than likely if I eat it will be a delish sandwich. It is so hot here and I like light cool food this time of year.
**On the dinner plate....
I am going to be having dinner out with a dear friend. She has been down with Covid and she is now feeling much better and so we will have some catch up time and let her get out of the house. My husband is traveling and my kids are all doing other things so it is a great time to have dinner with a friend.
**What I am wearing....
Jammies but about to get dressed for the day. A loose white cool shirt and skirt is on the plan
** What I am reading....
*The Well-Watered Woman by Grechen Saffles (I am halfway finished)
*A Life of Prayer
*I am studying and slowly digesting 2 Peter in the Bible
**What I am watching....
*Shark Week is on my plan this week.
*Downtown Abbey Movies (2019 & 2022)
My Favorite Youtube homemaking vlogs (Davee Kilian, Old World Home, This Bashful Life, and In the Kitchen with Mel)
**On the Menu...
Our menu will look very different this week (common in summer) my husband flew out for work at 4 AM this morning and my youngest son is at nana's for a visit.
Monday- Dinner out with my dear friend Tammy
Tuesday- Toasted Sandwiches and fruit bc it will be just my daughter and I
Wednesday- Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad with rolls
Thursday- Poppyseed Chicken Casserole, Green Beans, Rolls
Friday- Date Night
Saturday- Leftovers/frozen pizza (My husband is never home on Saturday evenings and doesn't eat dinner because he prepares for his sermon at this time. The kids and I just help ourselves typically. Plus, my kids all work and usually eat on their own time.
Sunday-?
**Looking around the house....
I see work I need to do, but if I really look I see beauty of the bible sitting on the coffee table that my husband always forgets to put up but it reminds me how thankful I am He reads.
**To do list the week....
*Do a nice thorough clean of each room
*Work on homeschool planning
*Clean my car in and out
*Do bills and checkbook
*Do church deposit (I am a pastor's wife and do the bookkeeping)
*Make a master list of things I need to do before homeschool begins
*Work on photo plans. I have ordered prints for 2021-until now and deciding if I want to do albums or scrapbooks
*Check Hannah's list for missions and order anything needed for Brazil
**From the Camera....
Our Rose bush is hanging in there. This heat hasn't been the best for this bush for some reason this year. I just love how intricate and beautiful roses are.
**Devotional....
"The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."
~James 5:16
Keep praying!!!
