Prayers and Thoughts for Boston!

I'm sure most of you are aware of everything that is happening in Boston this week!  Crazy, sad stuff.  Just wanted to let Boston know that my thoughts and prayers are with them! 

What's up with this weather?

This pretty sums up our week here in Michigan!  Had to get my winter coat out of the closet this morning.  :(

We went from lots of rain yesterday with 70 degrees to highs in the 40's with high winds and no sun today.  I would much rather have the rain with the warmer temps at this point in April.  We burn wood and I am thinking I need to go start a fire since it is already 66 in here and I don't see it getting any warmer with the wind.

How is the weather in your area?

Only good thing about today is that it is Friday!  So sleeping in tomorrow.  Well at least staying in bed since I normally can't sleep past 7 anymore.

Wanna make a girl happy on this craptastic Friday?  Head over to my Facebook page for A Day in My Life HERE and "like" it!  Thanks.  :)

Have a great weekend!

Thursday Thoughts

 It's finally Thursday, which means tomorrow is Friday!  I am linking up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom once again for Thursday Thoughts.  Here is what is on my mind this morning.

~  We are suppose to have rain and storms today.  If it is going to rain once again, than I am hoping for a good storm!  Not a blow us away tornado storm, but a good rumbling, lightning show kind of storm!  I am always ready for a good one after a long winter.  Hoping the flooding in Michigan doesn't get any worse though.  Looks like it is getting pretty bad over by GR. 

~  Kicking myself, because here I am trying to eat healthy and last night I made a batch of homemade Lunch Lady Brownies.  They are so good...... like I could eat the whole pan good!  I had absolutely no willpower and may or may not have ate 1 or 7 of them.  This morning I took the rest of them to work with me so I could get rid of them, because we all know that if they are in my house I will ingest them.  I was taught to share!  ;-)

 ~  Thinking about joining Weight Watchers again.  I had so much luck with it last year.  I lost 60 lbs. in 6 months.  I still want to lose more, but I keep losing and gaining the same few pounds over and over again.  I think I need the accountability of weighing in to get me going.

 ~  Have CMT on while I type up this post and Jason Aldean's "1994" is on.  I actually like this song, maybe because it's the year I graduated from High School! Makes me want to go out with some girls and hit up a good country dance bar.  Joe, Joe, Joe Diffy.....  :)

~  Speaking of CMT and country.  Darius Rucker's "Wagon Wheel's" song just came on and every time I see or hear him all I think of is Hootie and the Blowfish!  I love me some Hootie and Blowfish! 

~  Looking forward to a night out this Saturday with some friends.  Heading to a local Comedy Club.  It's always a great time.  Plus my friend won tickets so we all get in free!  BONUS!  :)

~  Kind of wishing I would have got a turkey license.  I am seeing them everywhere and have only been out a few times with no luck.  Thinking next Spring I will have to head out and try.  It's only April and I am so ready for Deer season.  I love to be in the woods with my gun or bow.  Yeah, I'm a country girl!  :)

~  I am new to Instagram and loving it!  Are you on Instagram?  I would love to follow you.  You can go HERE to follow me. I will follow back!  I love seeing every one's photos. 


Okay, so that is what is on my mind today.  What is on yours? 

Have a great Thursday and stay safe!

So What Wednesday!

It's So What Wednesday and once again I am linking up with Life After I "Dew"!

This week I am saying So What if.....

~ I can hardly wait for summer!  I am so ready to spend some time at our camper in Silver Lake! Ready for some fun in the sun!

~ I am starting to have a new obsession with Chevron!  So cute and fun!  I am loving my new Thirty-One bags in the Party Punch that is basically colorful chevron.  Thinking I need to get some clothes soon.

~ I find myself watching Disney shows like Good Luck Charlie, even when the kids aren't home or are in bed!

~ I call myself "Mommy" to our puppy Molly!  I always said I wouldn't do that, but I do.....  ;)

~ I'm mad at Meijer and almost didn't grocery shop there this week because they got rid of double coupons in my area! :(

~ I am getting the itch to go out and stock up on fun flip flops for this summer!  You can never have too many in my opinion!

~ I am thinking that I need to plan a girls night out very soon! 

~ I need to clean my house this afternoon, but thinking a run in the sun sound so much better! 


So What are you saying So What to today?

Friday's Letter's 4/12/13

It's finally Friday!  For reals, this week dragged on with all the rainy weather we had and actually having to work a full work week!

Anyways, today I am linking up with The Sweet Season again for Friday's Letters! You should totally check out her blog!


~ Dear Weather Man,  Please don't tell me that we are going to have rain again all day long!  I need some SUN (you know that bright yellow thing in the sky) soon!  It's been a long week and I am not liking the mud.

~ Dear Wendy ( yep, that's me), Seriously, you need to get back on track with your eating and exercising!  You were down right lazy this week and have been eating like you are getting ready to hibernate!  Starting Monday, you will get back on track and stop stuffing your face and sitting on your booty instead of walking. Swimsuit season is right around the corner and you know that you really want to buy a new suit in a smaller size!  :)

~ Dear Pinterest, Why must you suck me in when I have things that need to be done (dishes, dinner, shower)? It is amazing how much time can be spent pinning.

~ Dear Scales, I'm sorry I have been neglecting you this past week.  I am seriously scared to see what you have to say since I have been stuffing my face and being lazy!  I will be back soon.  I promise..... Please be nice.   ;)

~ Dear Hubby, Our anniversary is in less than 2 months and I can not wait for our annual weekend away!  I don't care if we just head to the camper at Silver Lake (or a seedy motel), as long as it's just us.  7 years and I can't imagine my life without you.   :)

~Dear Molly (our bloodhound puppy), Why, oh why did you act like a crazy dog in the middle of the night last night?  Normally you sleep all night.  I feel like I was up with a newborn.  Please sleep tonight.  Mama needs her sleep!

~ Dear Kindergartners, While I love working with you and think you are all pretty adorable, I don't like spending my mornings helping you get off the bus, only to find you walking towards me with earthworms!  I don't do worms.... EVER!  Trying to act like an adult and calmly tell you to put the worm down was very hard, when all I wanted to do was run away and scream! 

That is all.... Have a great Friday everyone!  :)

Thursday Thoughts!

Today I am linking up for Thursday Thoughts with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom!  Head on over if you would like to link up!

~ It's raining, again, for like the 4th day in a row this week!  While I am happy to have some Spring weather finally, I am so over the gloomy, sunless days.

~ I work with Kindergartners every day (like 120 of them) and the above said weather is causing indoor recess, which in turn after 4 days causes kids to have lots of extra energy.  It really needs to stop raining for my sanity!  The kids need to run around outside, soon!

~ I am so ready for Summer to be here!  Can't wait to get up north to Silver Lake and start our camping season.  Looking forward to getting the camper ready in a few weeks.  I am ready for some sun, sand in my toes, fishing, smores over the campfire, fun on the dunes and creating new memories with the family and good friends! So happy we have decided to be seasonal campers and can head up north whenever we want without a ton of work! 

~ I can't stop smelling my clothes!  I think we are having washer problems.  We have a front loading washer and I think it is in need of some serious cleaning (or maybe a trip to the curb), cause I feel like my clothes stink, like musty, mildew.  Anyone have some tips on cleaning a front loading washer?  I don't think it is the laundry soap and I tend to leave the door open when not in use.  :(

~ Tomorrow is Friday......  Yippee!

~ The next day is Saturday.... YIPPEE!  Can't wait to sleep in!

~ I haven't exercised all week and I am not happy about it.  Need to get my butt in gear and really work on losing the rest of the weight I want to lose.  Above said weather is not helping with my ambition.  :(

What is on your mind this Thursday morning?
