Monday Meanderings

Bible Study - Randomly reading through the Bible.  I like to do this from time to time.

Memory VerseAs said above, I am randomly reading....my ADD mind is so busy this week and usually in these instances, if I try to make myself memorize something, it does not work at all!  

Husband Encouragement
* Have the house clean when he comes in from work...
* Have his clothes put up....he cannot stand having his clothes left out after they have been laundered and I am horrible at putting them up. 
* Make a special meal for him this week!  He deserves it!
* Praise him for one thing (or more) each day!  I try not to nag or belittle him, but I really need to work on finding things to tell him he did good...or that I appreciate. 

Train Them Up
*I'm with Sarah on the getting OFFLINE.  I get so wrapped up in things on the computer, I tend to forget the kids and it is so crazy around here.
* Also with Sarah on getting the kids outside.  We have no trees in our yard....but if they can just stay outside for 10-15 min at a time, this would help so much.....(and I am going to start keeping popsicles and homemade slushies in the freezer so they can cool off.....) :) 
*Start back on our daily routine.....we have gotten so off of everything but morning routine the last few weeks while we have had my daughter-in-law over.....she is anxiously awaiting the birth of our Grandson and hasnt wanted to be home alone....just in case. 
* Start doing their Bible reading time again.....we have also forgot this in the business of life but it works so well!
Personal Goals
* re-paint my nails.....lol.  I so need to do this and wouldn't have thought of it if Sarah hadn't posted it.
* Start walking again.  I have let this go also and I can tell.
* Drink more Lemon water everyday....such an energy booster and so many health benefits....
New Habit of the Month - JULY!
*Keep the dishes done.  When I leave the dishes even for a little bit, we get overrun with ants....(the little black ones) and its horrible.  If I keep the dishes done up, they are not as bad.   But I am bad about leaving them for the day and doing them all at night..... :(
MUST Do
*Order more contacts....finally got my eyes re-examined and now I need to order contacts and new glasses...but glasses later.
* Order herbs off of Amazon. (I can get the kids ear drops and Echinacea on here cheaper.)
* Make Bread and freeze some....so tired of buying bread from store.
* Finish making school plans for kids and get books ordered
* Make a pillow for Jason (he doesn't have a special pillow... :( )
I think that is enough for the week....considering the last two days are going to be busy....
Zone - master bath...

Menu

M -had supper with Daddy...
T- Grilled Hamburgers with the kids
W- Bible Study- Beans and Sausage, cake.
Th- Probably eat out...Will be at the hospital with Amber....(she is being induced)
F- Mexican Casserole
S- Cereal (we like to do this some....it is cheap (if its homemade granola) and quick and relaxing)
FUN THINGS!
*Amber is scheduled to be induced Thursday....she has been having some problems so they are ready to go.  So hopefully by Thursday night, we will have our Grandson...
* My mom and dad possibly coming up for a couple of days.

3 things I'm thankful for today:
1.My wonderful family!
2. My very hardworking husband.
3. Garden fresh veggies.

Hope all has a blessed week!

Ooo, I have a recipe I should share with you for frozen fruit cups! I was just remembering them the other day and thinking we should make some!

I'm with you on the dishes thing! Laundry and dishes are my two biggest and least favorite chores and I'm really trying to get a handle on it! With dishes I'm doing what you're doing--going back to doing them all throughout the day, instead of waiting until I have a "batch". It's been helping a lot but I still need to keep at it. This week is especially hard with swim lessons going on in the morning. Our whole shnazzy routine is just thrown out the window for now!

I also just had my eye checkup and need to get new contacts ordered.

Excited for your grandbaby!!! Now how is that you're going to be a grandma already??

Sarah,
My stepson Jack...and his wife Amber are expecting. Jack has been my son since Paul and I got married...and his son is my grandson...It does seem strange and still a little not quite believing it that I am going to be a grandma...but life is LoL. But oh I am going to enjoy getting to spoil him and send him home.... hehe... It is kinda cool though because Jason is going to have a playmate... Cant wait!!! And the girls are so excited to be Aunts...I think they are going to spoil him more than me...

And Please do pass on the recipe!!! I would love to have it. And yes, routines have went out the window here too..

Thanks for commenting!!!!

Blessings
Crystal
