Thankfully, it was nothing serious. But it totally threw me and I have yet, at 5:12pm to get back on track!I was up early this morning, quiet time with God, working on Esther has propelled me out of bed every morning this week. Well, that and the smell of my yummy Starbucks Guatemala Casi Cielo® [...]

It's Monday and I am already running late this week. Not a good way to start the week, but I had no sleep last night. I stayed in bed this morning and listened to the (two) darlings getting up, showering, talking to our animals (and hearing the animals talk back, lol), getting dressed, feeding themselves [...]

Oops. Totally forgot to post this yesterday.I seriously clung to last week's memory verse:Psalm 56:3,4When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God whose Word I praise. In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?When I was so stressed out over the weekend, I said [...]

Wow.That's pretty much my description for the past few days.It all started two weeks ago. Due to my age and certain fluctuations in hormones, I would say I probably have one good week a month. This has been true for awhile now. That one good week I'm usually pretty even-keel emotionally, spiritually and physically. The [...]

My husband has decreed the next four days...painting the kitchen days.

I took a breather from the pressure of doing Memory Monday over the Christmas Season (I refuse to use the H word). And...I'm back. I'm also going to count this toward the Siestas' two-verses-a month memorization.So, the other day...maybe yesterday, I am SO very scatter brained today and I mean VERY...I was talking to God [...]

T tagged me days ago and I just haven't gotten around to it until this morning. My bad.8 TV Shows I Watch:1) The Office2) House3) NCIS4) Animal Planet (you name it...I watch it)5) Lost (I'm forced to...if I don't...I can't join in any conversations with my family because of my Lost Ignorance)6) Americas Funniest Home [...]

1. Being able to sip my morning triplegrandewholemilklatte in my jammies because I have a teenager who got out of bed (after considerable banging on the wall), pulled warm clothes on, chipped the ice off the car, and drove to Starbucks so I wouldn't have to.2. Dieting without even trying to because there is no [...]

So I was (apparently) so excited that my oven was working again so quickly AND was fixed by my knight in shining armor (who knew that Acts of Service is one of my top two Love languages? Oh, wait I knew it!) that I forgot to photograph my food preparation. So, I decided to start [...]
