I think maybe I've found a time for me to blog. It seems like between 3:00 and 5:00 my time I have time to be on the computer. Not always two whole hours, but the kids usually go outside around this time, and Paul doesn't get home until after 5:00pm. So we'll see how this works. And the new schooling schedule helps out a lot too.
Paul decided last night that we needed a Starbucks decaf. Now, me being the submissive wife (sometimes), didn't argue one bit. I don't know if I mentioned, Paul has stopped drinking regular coffee too. It was a huge thing when he decided to do it. He's been drinking coffee for almost 20 years. But he didn't like how he had been feeling so he decided to quit. The first week or so was a little difficult. He never really got the lack of caffeine headache, but he just didn't feel well. Now, wow, he has so much more energy, he's more upbeat and in lighter, funnier moods. It's been a sweet change and he likes how he feels now too. We are a strictly decaf house now. Barnes & Noble's is at the local mall (that's where Starbucks is), and Sarah had saved up her money to buy a CD. So we loaded up in the Jeep and headed out after dinner. It was a fun time. We didn't do much but get the coffees and CD, but just to be out as a family was good. But my body definitely can not handle a Cafe Mocha Decaf with extra whip that late in the evening. I woke up at 4:00am with a stomach ache. No more evening coffee for me, though I wouldn't have traded the fun we had.
Today was good, with lots of baking. I had to make my pan chocolate chip cookies for woman's bible study tonight. All I do is make my normal chocolate chip cookie recipe and put it in a 9x13 pan and bake them like brownies. It's a bit quicker, and they are more chocolaty. I also tried making cinnamon rolls again. I think they turned out much better this time. I have photos to share, and I'm going to try a photobucket slide show, but I'm going to save this entry as a draft first, just in case. Yea, it worked.
Tonight I have Woman's Bible Study, and I always look forward to that. I'm really getting to know the ladies, and it's always an encouraging time. I hope that everyone is having a blessed day. Here are my cinnamon rolls.
It is torture coming to your blog with all the cinnamon roll pictures! Now you are making want some, big time! And I am out of flour, so I will have to go to the store tomorrow! (lol) I was already going, but now I have a bigger desire to go.
I love Bible studies and the fellowship and the enouragement, too! And that's great that you have a time to blog again! Yay!

Oh, that was so fun to watch! I am SO off the grid lately...and I seem to talk to Sarah more than I talk to you! I'm swamped with all things writing and am falling behind daily. I post blogs but never visit. I am SO remiss. S&T Fridays I usually try to see folks stuff, but tomorrow I'm going to tea with 2 Lounge sisters! Imagine that! Tea and sisters from the homeschool Lounge! What a treat! This is lunch/tea. Can't wait. But really shouldn't be doing it, as I have so many things going on. But my DH is heading over to our cabin (I couldn't go! Too much to do next week--book wise--revisions, school visits, etc.), but I will get a lot done while he's installing the electricity.
Tell Sarah that alas...I was going to go with him to be able to work on a NEW BOOK, but now I can't. *she sighs*
Another time, I guess. Duty calls.
yummmmmmmmmm I can smell them from here ! Oh I didn't tell you I have a scratch and smell screen. [0; I hope next week we can chat if you want. ((hugs)) I have been missing you. I will have to update what I have been up to. Well I did a bit for S&T.
Sending blessings and ((hugs)) my SSiC
In Him<><

This blog is so I can share my journey with the Lord, my journey as a wife and mother, and my journey as a homeschool mom. I pray that you will see the Lord in my life through happy and sad times, and that this blog glorifies the Lord.
This is an award and tag free zone, thank you.
