FOR TODAY...JULY 20, 2009

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW...The wind is gently blowing and it's really nice. I can hear the birds singing and dogs barking off in the distance (since it's nice enough that I don't have to have the AC going). I love mornings like this but if the weather man from last night is correct (and I don't know why I should doubt him...lol) then rain is moving in tonight and last for the next couple of days and it will be warmer and more humid...agggghhh. I was enjoying not have the AC going and being able to open the house up.

I AM THINKING...I need to get started on that laundry but just can't seem to get myself motivated so far. Oldest step-daughter and grandkids will be out in a few hours and I won't have time then...oh well, I guess they can wait another day...lol.

I AM THANKFUL FOR...the wonderful, weekend Everette and I had. We spent the whole weekend together...doing nothing much of anything but really enjoying each others company. I'm thankful for both my step-daughters and the relationship I have with them both. I'm thankful for unlimited texting cause they both text me lots of times to tell me little things going on in their lives throughtout the day. They are both pretty awesome. I'm thankful for my mom and my in-laws...they've helped so much when things have gotten tough. I'm especially thankful for our grandchildren. Even when I've had my worst day, they can make it all better with the love and kisses they shower on me everytime they see me. Nothing like little arms going around you in a great big hug to brighten any day.

IN THE KITCHEN...Last night we had steak, baked potatoes and corn on the cob....corn was super good. Tonight, depending on how things play out here, we'll probably be having hamburgers or spaghetti...depends. We may even be eating down at my in-laws...like I said, depends on how things play out the rest of the day.

I AM WEARING...grey capris and a blue print top.

I AM CREATING...nothing going on...still trying to recoop from my fall so not getting too creative lately.

I AM READING...the Bible and "Night Light".

I AM GOING...down to my mother-in-law's house in a couple of hours...other than that, no plans yet.

I AM HOPING...to start on our other house again soon. My mom and in-laws have convinced me to give my injuries another week before getting back on that. The major thing left on the place is the master bath...which the guys will have to take care of anyway... the rest is just painting.

I AM HEARING...The ceiling fan going...and the birds singing outside. The trees are rustling some but other than that, it's complete silence...oh, my cell just went off with another text from our oldest daughter.

AROUND THE HOUSE...Nothing much new here. Need to get started on packing and separating stuff to be moved...but again, lack the motivation at the moment...lol.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...I've really come to appreciate my unlimited texting...you can relay messages to anyone without actually having to find the time to call...at times it makes it easier...and especially for youngest daughter, she's working at that camp and she can text little messages during her breaks and stuff...so I get to hear from her and know things are going ok with her.

A FEW PLANS FOR THE WEEK...so far, no plans for the week...still just trying to take it somewhat easy so my back can heal. No other plans so far.
