  • It's a Saturday night at the Smith home !

    In the kitchen....dirty dishes in the sink, and supper on the stove (all results of some yummy meals today)

    In the living room....the whole family but me, eating thier coney dogs, and chips while watching "The Barbie Muskateers" YES the little girls were in there first, so they got dibs on the movie LOL!

    I am wearing....PJ pants and a t-shirt, and wet hair that I need to do something with for church tomorrow!

    What we did today... a very laid back day for the most part, I sorted thru some more homeschool stuff from last year, did a little laundry, took care of the baby, and then this evening we ALL went to our friends pool for a few hours! Very relaxing I might add!

    What we are doing tomorrow....going to church, and hopefully resting alot in the afternoon! Can you tell I'm very tired today?! I guess all the swimming lessons wore me out!  I told DH I would never again take swimmin lessons and start our first week of school in the same week! He said "well you shouldn't need to!"

    I am thinking....about my upcoming trip to see my family! I'm so excited for the cooler temps. and less bugs! I'm excited about having a change of pace for a few weeks, and getting to play with the little girls without all the pressured of running the home on my shoulders. Just a nice break. We are taking our school work along, and hopefully papaw can help out with that too! I'm planning on taking a major project along to work on.....my pictures! AND maybe some sewing.

    I am praying....I'm praying for some friends requests here and there, and for some changes in our home, yes the building, but the people as well. Lot of things need to be fixed, and some things just aren't working out so well, like our master bedroom which has two doors, it has become a thru room, for one thing you have to go thru it to get to the main bathroom! That also makes it hard on baby to get her nap thru the day.

    I am sharing....

    fun with hope 114

    A week from tomorrow will be DH and I's 18th anniversay!  Any ideas on what I could give for a gift?   We will be together that day, but i'll be getting ready for my trip, so not sure if we are going to get to go out or anything yet.

    AND on that note, I am THANKFUL....for this man whom I've had the pleasure of spending the last 18 years with, who has stood by me thru the thick and thin, who's held me when I'm hurting, who's prayed for me daily, who's laughed with me, and who's been my BEST friend!!!

    fun with hope 002

    Have a Blessed Weekend!   ~~Jill~~

  • I hope you were able to rest today! And I admire you for doing swim lessons AND school at the same time! Do all that stuff while you can, 'cuz Darlin, when you turn 50, you might not feel like doing all that busyness anymore. You'll need a slower pace. At least that's what's happening to me! I ran around like a nut case only 5 short years ago (and most of the time before that) and wow, I still can't believe I was like that.  I hope you manage to do womething special for your anniversary: MAKE THAT A PRIORITY! Your man should be # 1.  (says I who right now seems to be so full of advice!)  Take care! Love,Gail

  • @Richgem - Yes you are right, I do have to slow down! The swim lessons weren't scheduled...the instructor had told me a few weeks ago at the end of Leah's lessons that if she had an opening, she would call me, well time went by and no call, then she calls me on the 2nd nite of lessons after they were already started and tells me to come on out! She said "don't even think about it, it's on us, just come on out!" SO I went!!! I couldn't refuse such an offer! My dear little family made it possible by catching up a MOUNTAIN of laundry on Friday nite!
