 Refreshing my Spirit:

I finally finished a book after trying to get it done for at least two months.  When I go to bed at night, I like to read, but am usually so tired that I fall asleep very quickly.  I don't even waste time  anymore. 

I started reading "Passionate Housewives Desperate for God."  Though I'm no longer a housewife, I am desperate for God.  A lot of my passion has died because of the constant responsibilities I carry, now that I'm working outside of the home.  (Not to mention that I've had to work every weekend this month, so I haven't even been to church.)

I am currently reading the epistles on my lunch break.  I am reading them from The Message Bible because the wording in it gives me a fresh perspective on familiar scriptures.

On the Homefront:

This week, DD and the neighbor boys raked a huge pile of leaves in the front yard.  Next, they would  then jump into the pile.  They had a load of fun doing that over and over and over.....

DD took care of the  for me early in the week so the house would look nice when I was off work on Wednesday.

When I came home from work on Saturday, the  delivered several packages.  They were things I had ordered online to save back for .  I had so much fun them!    One of the items was the first season of Highway to Heaven.  Since I got such a great deal on it, I decided to go ahead and let everyone start enjoying that one.

I got my hair cut and decided to color it deep burgundy.  It looks very pretty, but that is just MHO.    Just before I was ready to  , I noticed that some of the dye was on the wooden door frame.  You can imagine my   when I couldn't get it to come off.  I thought dh would   , but he just told me to extremely careful with it in the future. 

I found an emoticon that is so appropriate for our home/family.  We have three people here and only one bathroom: 

In the Kitchen:

• Menu plan for November is done,
• Posted menu plan on my monthly menu blog,
• Posted some new recipes on my menu blog,
• Bought the needed items to complete my menu plan, and spent less than $30!    (Thankfully, the meat is already bought, so that will save a lot of $ this month.)

  On the work front:

Things are going well at work.  I will be in admissions over the weekend.  Since it is excessively slow on Sundays, I may be  or  from complete  by the time I get off work that day. 

 In the School Room:

No major changes here.  Since so many people have asked how I manage to homeschool and work outside the home, I do plan to start a category dedicated to that issue.  Please stay tuned.......
