My Week: August 21-27


Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope you enjoy reading about my week.


Sunday - the breaking of a brand new week.  It didn't start so well.  I got a text Saturday night from another lady in the church that one of their kids had lice.  In the morning, I checked the girls and found lice on one.  I kept them all home just to be on the safe side.  I washed all five (including mine!) heads of hair with the shampoo just in case.  And then it was a whole lot of laundry - clothes, bedding, pillows.  An all day project for sure.
Summer had made this list and put it by my bed for Sunday morning.  She loves doing a salon but it just wasn't going to happen that day. :(


I spent part of the afternoon at the laundry mat.  Wow, it has been a long time since I have been to one of those!  It was kind of nice though.  Considering.  LOL!  Why share about lice?  It's not nice and it is embarrassing.  But it is life.  We are all living it. :)


Sunday night, off to work.  I thoroughly enjoyed the sky!


Rainbows. :)



It didn't rain at our house Sunday night but it poured at my client's home.  I. LOVED. IT!!
There is nothing nicer than a summer thunderstorm.  Nothing!


Monday, what a super nice day.  Another stormy day.  And I loved it!  I got a lot accomplished and the weather was just perfect.  School.  Everyone was in a good mood due to the rain. :)


Summer is really working hard on her papers in first grade.



Chicken, baked potato and zucchini for dinner.  Mmm!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
