Outside my window...  beautiful sunshine!  A bit chilly... but it's supposed to warm up

I am thinking... about how I'm going to accomplish all my projects this week...

I am thankful for... answered prayers...

From the kitchen... steak tonight, burgers tomorrow, chicken on Wednesday.  I need to pick up some lettuce today - our garden lettuce isn't quite ready yet.  We're trying to eat less starchy stuff... so we'll have lots of salad and fruit this week...

I am wearing...  my stinky workout clothes... I got a GOOD workout in today!!

I am reading... "Servolution" - an INCREDIBLE book about how to get yourself and your church fired up for serving God... (Thanks Chris Fann!!)

I am hoping... to get some more painting done this week - R's room and the "trash" chairs I'm working on...

I am creating... the chairs I was just mentioning... I have one painted and one ready to be painted.  The boys and I are going out to find fabric later today.  I've never tried this before so I'm excited to see how they turn out!

I am praying... that God will lead our friends Marc and Keri to the RIGHT job for Marc.  He's been out of work since before Christmas....

Around the house... trying to re-organize the kids rooms... NOT FUN!

One of my favorite things... playing cards on the deck with Andy once the kids are in bed... 

A few plans for the rest of the week... getting things accomplished around the house (finish the kids rooms, clean out the basement), library, try to make homemade bread (by HAND... NOT with my breadmaker...)...

A picture to share...
I'm thinking of having a garage sale this Saturday - we have a few large items (desk, wagon, toyboxes, mattress set, dining table and chairs...) that I'm ready to be RID of.  Hopefully the weather will be PERFECT - just for three hours on Saturday morning... it can rain all afternoon.. :)

I would love to hear about your 'simple day"....
