My Friday Thoughts

Here is what is on my mind:

• Visiting a Farmers Market tomorrow with my little family & my fun niece.

• I’m feeling content with the stage the basement is at.  I’m thrilled with being able to actually go down there and use the space!  LOVE that the kids have their own hang out to explore, be creative and bond with each other.

• Thankful to be back at church where our children can go and learn about Gods love while my husband and I get time for us.  Then getting to worship as a family, it’s wonderful.  Praying for all of those volunteering and leading to have patience with the little ones and that they themselves would grow spiritually from the experience of helping others.  Wishing I could help, but also knowing that my marriage needs to be the priority and our weekly chats cannot be compromised.

• Happy that MOPS has started back up for the year, and I’m getting used to not being on the steering team (I stepped down at the end of last year when I thought we would be homeschooling and I wouldn’t be able to attend meetings).  I miss it greatly, but feel like there is a wonderful group of women leading the group and I know they will all do an awesome job this year.  I do like getting to just go and enjoy a meeting without tons of prep work and clean up.  Praying for the women who are leading that they can easily balance their roles between MOPS and their families.

• Oh, SO grateful for “us” time! 🙂

• Wishing bedtime was easier for our prince, but so happy that he is starting to outgrow his shyness.  He is such a delight & we enjoy our days together.

• Best of all, I’m feeling blessed that my little princess is reading & proud of her for reading most of her book by herself last night.  ♥ I love that she is making so many friends in the neighborhood and think that they are helping her to mature and work on her social skills.

• Feeling discontent with our decision to send the girl back to public school, but trying to pray on it and make the very best of it & not show her my fears.  Wondering how the transition would go if we did decided to bring her back home & wondering if God could equip me to provide for her educationally and be sure she learns all that she needs to learn.

• Considering adding a cupboard with counter where my hutch is (it would match the kitchen).  I’m wondering if it would make the kitchen seem bigger and tie the room all together, or if it would look ducky and I’d be stuck with it.  If we don’t do that I would like to get cupboards put in down stairs.  I have a ton of kitchen stuff.  I ♥ kitchen stuff!

• Oh lastly, I’m so hooked on pinterest.com
