THE POWER OF WORDS... A MONDAY BLOG.

 

Hello My glorious friends ! Today is yet another Monday ! Rise and shine ! :O)

Currently as I write this it is near 2 am, I have MAJOR heartburn, can't sleep and am watching "I Love Lucy" episodes.

Sunday was a very successful day - I got alot done and am thankful. All of the holiday things are packed up and put away, neat and organized. :O) I never understand how every year it seems we get more than we had before or the Rubbermaid boxes get smaller. I didn't even buy anything, and I even got rid of things ... It just has to be in how I put it all away. Hmmm.

The kids did suggest we leave the big blow up snowman thing outside yet as it isn't all Christmasy.. so it still remains out there. I guess they like it alot. It is good though, because it takes some time to dry once we bring it in, I don't want it to fold then mold... so I was actually kinda glad they said that. LOL.

The LL finally kept his word and came by after church on Sunday.. he took Adam to the houses that he needs cleaned and repaired and gave us the keys ... looks like we will be quite  busy with that for a while, Adam says they are just horrid. That is good in a way though, gets us some well needed money !! :O)

I managed to get all the laundry done over the weekend, a not so easy task sometimes around here - but I didn't get the bedding washed I had wanted to. That is ok though - I think I will do it later today !

My girls have begun to start to nag me about sharing a room. Errrrr - they DON'T now and never have - but they WANT to. ODD. Brittany has been riding my case to buy them all bunk beds. HA ! Who would'a thunk it ?! I will have to see what I can manuver around upstairs, but I do so hate moving things about. Sorry Brit, no BB's tho. :O)

Speaking of beds ... Gracie has been sleeping with the kids the last 4 or 5 days now. She seems to like it alot - I am glad - however I wish that they would all sleep in thier own beds. No one seems to since we've moved. She goes right to sleep and sleeps through the whole night. A first.  I am debating if I want to keep doing it or not. Any opinions anyone ? I don't want it to become a habit she will rely on.

So today my plan is to get into the kitchen and try to clean up a little and around the house more as well as wash the bedding that I didn't get done. Sometimes it is hard to get a whole lot done when I have had a bad nights sleep (as I seem to be doing again) or if the kids are beastly .. but we'll see, it will get done sooner or later anyway. :O)

So ... anyway, as I am out of things to say for the time being ...

Now is the time for my "Power Of Words" segment ...

TODAY - I CHALLENGE YOU !

Words can make ones day better or worse. Today choose to let the words you say help to MAKE ones' day BETTER ! :O)

Did you know that sometimes a simple little smile can be the kindest gesture one can recieve ALL DAY LONG ?

Today, I would like to challenge you - all my dearest friends, what can YOU do to make someone's day better ?

Say a word of encouragement to someone that you haven't spoken to in a while. Tell someone that you like thier shirt or thier hair - perhaps that they are beautiful or that you were very glad for having met them and having them in your life.

Stop by someones blog page and let them know that you care, that you think of them .. I know for myself - sometimes just ONLY A FEW words can make me feel so much better.

And by you making ones' day better, in turn - so will they - they will learn to spead the love of kind words.

I am thinking of making this a special blog about once a week or maybe just periodically, so we all can share with everyone how this can help us; as well as someone else.

So happy Monday to all my friends, I am glad that you come by to visit me and keep in touch, you are all very special people and I luv you !

Now - go and have a great day and spread the "Power of Words" ! :O) HUGS !!!!!!
