~~It's Friday!~~

Its Friday. . . I am back

Outside My Window~  We recieved almost 6 inches of snow during the night.  It makes for quiet morings listening to traffic outside.   School was 2 hours late today around the area.  Most public schools around here only allow for three snow days.  They've already reached that after 4 weeks!!

Around The House~  The wind is blowing from the north.  Here come some frigid wind chills for the weekend.  I love that it makes my windchimes sound!
 
I Am Thinking~  Thinking about spring and summer already.
 

I Am Praying~  Praying for Aaron at boot camp.  Today he gets to send mail out with his address.  I can't wait!
 
 Praying for bachelor David.  Praying in general for stuff.

 
From The Leaning Room~   My student had a 2 hour delayed start today as well.  He just took a spelling test and did terrible.  He is writing  the list again. . .twice

  I Am Wearing~   Jeans, Green top, hair curly, no make-up, tennis shoes.  I took a few photos for new profile pictures last week.  I must say, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my short hair!!  ((I added one of those color wash products to it for Mickey's funeral.  Should wash out 10-14 washes.))




 

  I Am Creating~   Not really creating yet.  Got some ideas~  photo albums, a flower swag such as this one. . .


I am getting spring cleaning fever.  When #1 son left I cleaned the rest of his room.  I vacuumed, washed windows, washed curtains, washed bedding and mopped the floor.  It looks different and empty.  I'll add some more decorations to the walls soon. 





I am tiring of my blue bed set.  Inspired by cleaning Aaron's room, I am switching bed sets and going back to yellow.  I have the windows open blowing in 10 degree fresh air.  When my manly man gets home, I'll have him help me turn the mattress.



  One Of my Favorite Things~   I always say this but it's one of my favorites. . . my cozy warm bed, a bowl of popcorn, good movie and a snuggly person to enjoy them with!!

From The Kitchen~  Bachelor David is coming over tomorrow afternoon to hang out,  Not sure what the meal plan is yet.  Sunday is not planned either!!  I have a ton of meat in the freezer and need to build meals around that.

I Am Enjoying~  Watched a great movie last week-  A Christmas Memory with Patty Duke (I love her!!)


Upcoming Events~  #2 son has a birthday next week.  We are planning a birthday celebration with our friends Chris and Sharon to this place. . .

 I may be watching Alison's girls and house Sunday and Monday.  I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.  They will be moving to the Washington DC area soon because their Daddy got transferred.

I am Sharing~  It's been a hectic week at our home.  I amazed that it is almost the end of January.  Where has the time gone? 

We bought that new rig for #1 knowing it had a problem (check engine light) and got a GREAT price for it.  It didn't make it home   My manly man and  Mr. Chris went and got it late Monday at a BAR parking lot about 7 miles from where we purchased it.  Bought a couple parts for it and it limped home Monday night.  On Wednesday afternoon my manly man decides he wants to take it back to the dealers shop where it was purchased and have them diagnose the problem and pay them to do the work.  Ha!  We tried to get it back up there, a 35 minute drive away.  It made it 2 miles and the same part blew up!  We had it towed to the local Mazda dealer Wednesday afternoon.  For $4,500.00 they can fix the problem with "GENUINE" Mazda parts or we can fix it at home with internet parts and $1000.00  It is back home sitting in our garage waiting on Daddy to fix it.  We are praising the Lord it didn't end up being the transmission it is just exhaust system (cadillac converter) and plugs and plug wires!!  We're sad that Aaron only got to drive it about 2 miles before it broke down.  We were hoping we'd drop him at the recruiters office on Monday afternoon in it.  His poor Daddy was very upset at himself for letting Aaron down.  But Daddy is lots better now.
