Do you ever.....

have a day that you feel that life is driving off without you? Or really fast with you in the front seat? Does it leave you feeling off track? Feeling like things are piling up at a high rate of speed, all at once?

Some how today, my procrastinating ways has left me feeling that way and with many things to do! Fruitful things of course, but for some reason I'm dreading them and feeling overwhelmed none-the-less!
I have many phone calls to make....appointments to set up....and a few bills to pay!
The paper work side of motherhood! EEEKKKK!

I rather wash the windows~LOL

I know tomorrow I will be back to normal. Feeling more on track! I suppose this is the price I must pay for procrastinating!
When all is done.....I will feel a big weight lifted off me.....and God revealing Himself to me a bit more!

Doing What I Love~

hhm
Click this button to participate!

The weather in my neck of the woods:
is cool and crisp.....the mornings have been frosty!

One of my simplest pleasures is:
nursing my 2 year old while sitting in my favorite chair! My coffee is good too!

On my bedside table:
is a bunch of gardening,canning and homestead books I think I will read! (hee hee)
Actually I do flip through them with great glee but have not had the chance to really sit and ponder over the wealth of info. with in them!
On my TV today:
Nothing during the day~
CD of Seventh Heaven season 3 @ bedtime in my room!

On the menu for tonight:
Meatloaf
Horseradish mashed potatoes
Garden Salad with fresh herb vinaigrette
Homemade wheat rolls

On my to do list:
harvest the potatoes
3 loads of laundry
clean my bathroom
declutter my daughters room

New recipe I tried last week:
a semi homemade cookie (I don't like to bake)
To make Cookies
Mix 1 box of chocolate cake mix, 2 eggs and 1 cup apple sauce (or oil), 1/2cup toffee bits and 2 tablespoons of a coffee drink powder. Spoon cookies on a cookie sheet and bake 12 min. @ 350!

In the craft basket:
some sweaters I bought last week to cut and sew into pants for the baby. Look here to see how!I think that they might be in there for a while as I am to afraid to get started! I don't want to mess up....I don't think sweater material seam rips very well!

I'm looking forward to:
Christmas.....my in laws are coming out to visit!
MOPS in 2 weeks! I love the breakfast casseroles!

Homemaking tip for the week:
Take time to sit in the easy chair and watch the kiddos play....maybe even join them!
The housework can wait~

My favorite blog post this week:
was over @ Yet He Abidath Faithful~

Danielle is a momma of 5 boys and 1 new (girl) bundle of JOY! Her family is just beautiful! She has posted the most wonderful pictures the past few days of her newest little darling~so go take a peak but make sure you're quit the baby might be sleepin' lol!

My favorite photo from last week:

was the kiddos(3 of my 6) in the corn maze! We had a great time playing in the saw dust pile,looking @ the farm animals and buying apples! We got a few small pumpkins too for home canning!



">

Lessons I learned this week:


To just stock up on bath towels because no matter how much I lecture about not wanting to find bath water all over the floor......it still keeps happening! (I have 6 kiddos) Plus God knows how much I enjoy and love the smell and feel of warm towels right out of the dryer! (no shortage here @ our house!)

Oh~and the up side of down is that my bathroom floors are always really clean! LOL

On my prayers list:

My family and many of my blog friends in need of prayers

(many are due to deliver another blessing soon!)


Scripture reading, devotional or key verses:

In everything give thanks- 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Have a great day~

These Still Are The Good Old Days~

This is not my house~ its just a really cool old house along one of my favorite country drives!

I love to remember back.... when the west was won~

The pioneers that paved the way for us~with hard work and dedication!
Mothers that cared for their children and families during the harsh and sometimes unforgiving winter months. Men that labored hard to provide food for their families!
Somethings still remain the same today~just not as hard!


I feel their SPIRIT......when I see old things from yesterday~

Sometimes we forget how easy we have it........living life today, in the 20th century!

Blessings,

Georgiann
