7 things about this week…

June 24, 2011 Lana

David and Lana on island

First of all…
I would like to thank you for reading this crazy blog.   You guys simply encourage me.  Thank you!  Do you Twitter?  Or Facebook?  Find me on there too!

Second…

I don’t usually worry about things.  I’m simply not a worrier.  But, this week has been different.

I lost a couple of keys to a safe deposit box.  To replace the keys, the bank is going to charge us over $200.00.  I hate paying money for something that is unnecessary.  My hubby and I have searched high and low for the keys.  I keep thinking $200.00 would pay for a little child’s dinner for an entire year in some remote village.  How could I have lost some stupid keys to an “empty” box?  Yes, the box is empty!  Ugh. 

I’m trying to get over it.  Bear with me!  Just being extremely real.

3rd…

We have started tearing down our playroom – inside out.  The kids are still at their Grandparents.  So it is a perfect time.  I have thrown away more “junk” than ever before!  I love being organized.  I just dislike organizing.  I truly need a system that would work for me.  I’m on the right road, I just keep making little pit stops on the way to true organization.  I’ll be posting pictures next week.

4th…

We received rain.  One local farmer reported we haven’t received rain since last September.  Wow!  We are suppose to get more today.  Praise the Lord.  He has it under control.  I put my faith, my keys and my life in His hands!

5th…

Our little chicken, “Chicken Little”, has started to show rooster traits.  Like crowing.  I keep thinking it might just be a phase.  My hubby thinks I’m crazy – it is a rooster.  I like denial.  I went to our neighbors to see if they minded…they will let me know.  Our local parrots that live in the palm trees are louder than “Chicken Little” but my relationship to our neighbors means more.

7th…

Yes, I skipped 6th.  I just don’t like that number.  (GRIN!)

I’m crazy in love with husband.  He makes me laugh daily.  He prepares me coffee and brings it to my bedside every morning.  He truly gets me.  I’ve enjoyed the last couple of weeks with just us.  It is nice to re-connect!  Although, I do miss my kids.  (I don’t think they are missing me, yet.  Grandma and PawPaw’s house is too much fun!)

7th again…

Today and today only, Amanda Bennett is offering a Unit Study for just $5.00.  Just thought I would share this great homeschool gem. 

Also, don’t forget to enter in my $100.00 gift card to Dick’s Sporting Goods?

Thanks for reading!

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
