FOR TODAY: Monday, October 15, 2012
Outside my window... For the past couple of weeks it has been GLORIOUS, 70s-low 80s.....and now it's back up in the 90s & supposed to stay here all week :( I can't wait for the heat wave to officially be over & done with.
I am thinking... about life, how things you weren't paying attention to as a child shaping who you are today & what you expect from others. I think about what a good example my mother demonstrated to me on how to be a wife: to take care of the home & children. And how that's what I automatically think a mother/wife should be. Fortunately my mother in law seems to have been the same way as my mother, so my hubby is pleased. Because just as my view of mother/wife was being shaped by my mother, so was his by his own mother. I have always been extremely fascinated with what shapes people & makes them who they are.
I am thankful... I am thankful I was able to see the doctor today. Another IC flare with a UTI to boot! And my doc said that was the absolute worst urine dip she's seen in her entire career. :( I'm not happy to hear that, but at least it justifies how much pain I was in all weekend.
In the kitchen... Haven't made anything today, my busy Monday of laundry & house cleaning & I'm not feeling well......but I'm getting hungry, so I gotta go make myself something soon
I am wearing... denim shorts & a blue tank top
I am working on... trying to find some borax (they don't sell it at rite aid) so I can make home made slime for my Lil J to play with.
I am going... grocery shopping tomorrow, although I did my ralph's trip today because there was no more milk for my stepson. tomorrow I will go to whole foods, costco, & trader joes. And maybe target to look for borax..........
From the learning rooms..... Still daily Bible study & reading lessons for Lil J. He is starting to show an interest in writing, so I think pretty soon I'm gonna pull out that pre-school workbook once again & see if he's interested or not. Lil J is still doing weekly swimming lessons as well.
I am reading... daily Bible reading & am now on the first book in the Little House book collection (Little House in the Big Woods I think it's called).....I got them for myself for my birthday. I read them once as a kid & LOVED them. Oh how I dream of being able to live in those days. I am thrilled to be able to read them again. And I can read them again out loud when Lil J is a few years older & he can read them for himself a few years after that.
I am hoping... this heat wave ends......for good
I am looking forward to... making a new cake, soon I hope
I am learning......... how to work with royal icing, making cake decorations out of it
Around the house... lots of cleaning today, still gotta do some outdoor cleaning & a thorough kitchen cleaning later on this week
I am pondering... on how to decorate my next cake......or whether or not I even have time this week to make a cake........I do have to make cup cakes for my stepdaughter's birthday for sure, so I don't know if I'll have time to do a cake also
A favorite quote for today... "a mother's work is never done" so very true..........
One of my favorite things... chocolate, I wish it wasn't so, but it is......maybe I should make a CHOCOLATE cake, that's a rarity in my home because my hubby doesn't like chocolate, but since I'm making SO MANY cakes these days making ONE that he can't eat can't be all that bad.......right??
A few plans for the rest of the week: grocery shopping on Tuesday, church on Wednesday, park day with friends on Thursday & making cupcakes on Friday
I am praying for: hubby's throat, my bladder, lots of family & friends
