Mother's Day Daybook

Outside my window… freshly mowed lawn, new pillow on the rocking chair, the fountain is on.

I am thankful for…time spent with my family – in the hotel Friday night, Bible Competition, and fun lunch. I’m thankful for all L’s hard work and that M. participated in Relay for Life before meeting us Sat. with Aunt.

I am wearing… yucky mowing clothes. I didn’t get to mow though because the battery was dead.

Some plans for the rest of the week… a couple of school parties for M., lots of soccer practice and garage sale.

I am hoping … to not be hurting tomorrow. The time at the diner on Route 66 was fun yesterday. I really enjoyed my Dublin Dr. Pepper. However, being so sick today wasn’t worth the grease, the onion rings or cookie.

On my mind… L. did a great job in his Bible competition. I've also been thinking about Mom and Dad a lot this week.

Hearing…. M sitting behind me dictating what he thinks I should write.

I am praying for……. end of school year kinds of things.

From the kitchen….. I made some things from Make 5 Dinners in One Hour this week and have been quite pleased. Last night we had some leftover roast that I cooked in the crockpot with tomatoes, green chile and seasoning.

Around the house… the clothes that sat on the couch for almost a week finally got put away! I told Hubby that I was leaving the ones that are piled on the dryer there to absorb the squeaky noise that it’s making.

One of my favorite things…. My porch swing! My grandfather made it, it hung at my parent’s home for as long as I can remember, and now that Hubby and the boys repainted it, it’s on my back porch. What a wonderful Mother’s Day gift.
