It is Spring Break and I don't have any wonderful pictures to post of a cleaned out closet. I haven't accomplished anything major like that! I've been extremely lazy, but that's just what I needed. I fixed my Kindle, helped L. raise money for Relay, got him wrestling shoes and found shorts for M., worked online and went to lunch with friends. No major accomplishment, but a good break. Come to think of it, it really isn't spring yet either (although our allergies would disagree!). It's only 45 degrees out.
I am so thankful for standing water - the creeks and ponds in the park are full. For a while we even had puddles!
I am attempting to run again. It was much easier this time. I tried it last spring, but it got hot. Then my running partner moved. L ran beside me to keep time and for the most part he was encouraging. Well, except when he pointed out he can walk my running pace. What do you expect? He's almost 12 and I'm almost.....
Did I really say he's almost 12? That means M is almost 14!! Both born the Thursday after Easter two years apart. In the evenings, we've been watching old Christmas videos (that and Duck Dynasty). Oh my!!! What precious memories. Cherished times. It is so wonderful seeing how their personalities have remained the same. What someone told me is so true - "The days are long, but the years are short."
So we're approaching April and some spring routines or "usuals" are coming....
We'll be celebrating three birthdays soon. We already cleaned out the front flower beds and I'll get some annuals when my MIL comes. We're ready for the sprint to the end of school. The Joplin Memorial Run is soon.
How do you conclude randomness? That's all?

On the Home Front - March 9
A peek through my
window…. Breezy and cloudy. We’re
going to get rain this afternoon. Spring
is coming, but maybe later than last year??????? I was reading back through last year’s posts
and saw that last year (two days from now) our neighbor’s tree was white with
blooms. I think I see tiny buds now, but
blooms are a ways off.
What’s going on this week… M is registering for NINTH grade. I can hardly believe it!
What “the boys” are
doing… M just left with his dad for the hangar. Last night, he went to a state semi-final
basketball game to watch with friends.
L. is on a Scout campout, but they are coming home tonight so the
Weeblos don’t have to take down wet tents.
On my mind… how
our boys are changing and growing – interests too. Playing out in the front yard isn’t something
they really do anymore….
On my bedside table… my Kindle isn’t working properly! I need to get that taken care of soon! When we were in Texas last month I bought some
non-electronic books at Half Price Books.
I think I’m going to save them for the beach this summer.
I am richly blessed…
to have Hubby. I’ve had a headache this morning and he spent
about 20 minutes rubbing my head for me.
…….to have spent time with Aunt this week. She went to dinner with the boys and Thursday
night and then to a Bible exhibit. Last
night M. and I helped her get the furniture she wanted and after we ate at our
house, we took her home and unloaded the furniture. Did I mention she bought me lunch on
Wednesday and had it at my house during my lunch break? She stayed after I went back to school and
picked both the boys up at their school about an hour and half later. I ran into a 2nd and 3rd
cousin at M’s basketball game this week too.
I’m praying for… a phone interview for a friend. A relaxing time away for another friend and
her family.
Our home… the laundry annex is clean (since we may have company for dinner). Our home is looking forward to some attention while I’m home during Spring Break!
Menu planning… (Also something from last month that didn’t get published…)Something truly amazing! Yesterday afternoon Hubby and I prepared 10 dinners that we put in the fridge or freezer ready to cook….We had shish-ke-bobs after church today for dinner. Waiting to in the fridge to cook tomorrow night for dinner is Italian Pork Chops. We have Chinese Chicken Morsels, Hearty Hamburger Stew, Green Chile Beef Enchiladas, Lemon Chicken, Over BBQ Chicken and Cheese Biscuits, Mexican Roast, Asian Chicken and Stir Fry Veggies and Beef Stroganoff waiting in the freezer. Woo Hoo! I couldn’t have done it without Hubby. His idea and he cut all the vegetables and all the meat!
We haven’t made it to Once a Month Cooking yet this month,
but I have things ready for Taco Soup, Smoky Corn Chowder, Farmer’s Casserole,
Asian Chicken (again) and a couple of other things that I can’t remember right
now.
A photo or two… I
haven’t taken many lately so these are oldies, but goodies!
