Only in Texas you can have a beautiful 80 degree Sunny Saturday and then wake up to freezing sleet and ice with a horrible chill of 19 degrees on Sunday. I. am. officially. over. winter. If you can’t tell I liked the Saturday better. I really do not like the cold weather except to be able to wear scarves {which I wear in the spring and sometimes summer too}and boots. I do not like sweaters or big jackets. I prefer to live in flips flops and over sized blouses with cuffed jeans {because I am too lazy to have them hemmed}. I don’t even think jeans look normal on me unless they have a huge cuff at the bottom.
We spent our weekend at home and enjoyed it. Our plans were canceled since my son had to leave school early Friday and spend several hours at the doctor and pharmacy with me. He broke out in the horrible rash all over and the verdict came back strep and scarlet fever. He was very disappointed and sad that he couldn’t return to school and all of our plans were cancelled. I felt like a helpless momma who just wrecked his dreams. We survived and had a good weekend in spite of the illness. We spent the entire afternoon in the backyard soaking up the sun, chasing the dog, making jello, and watching movies. Today was pretty much the same except indoors. We played dress up, doll house, camping, movies, games, and made m&m sugar cookies.
Our weekend couldn’t have been more legit without dance parties at least three times a day. My kids are crazy about music like their momma and we love it. We even had one tonight dancing to ice ice baby since school’s out tomorrow for an ice day! Of course I get the crazy look from the hubby when I bust out the running man. Come on’ you know you do too!
I didn’t get near as much house work done as I had planned but that is a typical day for me. I get way to distracted with my kiddos, snacks, dance parties and hanging with the family. I am seriously living the I can clean later motto but I realize I need to get a little more disciplined again.
I am currently studying Restless by Jennie Allen with a group of amazing girls. I am honored and blessed to have each of the sweet sweet souls in my life. This study is tough. It really is digging deep and I have found myself in some areas that I thought I would never go back to. It is a good thing though to force me out of my comfort zone and become restless for more of Jesus. Restless to not only have faith but act on it. Dare to dream with our maker and glorify God on this earth. I only have one life to spread the love of Jesus.
That was our little weekend. How about you?
