TODAY...

I love using my first Today... button, so I thought I'd make another one! :) Today I Made....a sweater for my little man! It was actually in progress for about a week, and I finished up this afternoon! This is the first article of clothing that I've crocheted (other than bibs), so I was pretty pleased with it. Of course it has its imperfections, but I'm hoping no one can tell by looking at the pictures. :) Unfortunately, I should have made it a size larger, because it turned out a little snug. Oh well, at least I can add it to Caedmon's memory box!

Today I am going to....

Spend some much needed time with my little man. He's been having some emotional breakdowns lately, and I think it's due to our busy schedule we've recently acquired!

Not take my sweet husband for granted. I think it's easy to do this until you hear about someone whose spouse isn't quite so considerate or loving. It makes you rethink things and look at your husband with a new found admiration for being so good to you! Jason has come to my rescue so many days when I've needed his emotional support...especially the first year after having a new baby! :) He's my hero!

Scout out some good deals on shoes and jeans for Caedmon!!! Of course I'm like most women who love shopping, but I get really excited when I find good deals! Anything that saves us money is exciting. :)

Pray for so many people in my life who are going through hard situations or just need wisdom in their parenting decision making! I never prayed for wisdom more than I have since I've become a parent, especially now that we're dealing with how to effectively discipline our son in a firm, loving, Christ-like way!

Love you all and hope you have a blessed weekend!

Hi there! As you may have noticed, I've added a button to my page. Yesterday was a pretty stressful day, and that lead me to the post I put up here. Then that lead me to create a button. We all have days good, bad, and somewhere in between! Please feel free to grab the button using the code beside it and use it for yourself. You can make it as lighthearted or as serious as you'd like. In no way at all do you have to link back to my page for using the button. Just have fun with it!

TODAY...

Today I am going to...be productive!
I am going to use the spare time I have (Caedmon's nap time) to focus on very very important things that absolutely have to get done!

Today I am going to...be cheerful!
I am not going to let things overwhelm me and get me down. I am going to have a positive outlook on things and not stress over things that I can't fix!

Today I am going to...avoid having a tear-filled breakdown!
Ok, ok, the one this afternoon does not count!

Today I am going to...overlook the faults of others!
The good Lord knows I have enough of my own to worry about, and I need to learn to show a little grace!

Today I am going to...love on my sweet little boy and give him lots of sugar!
I WILL NOT let life interfere with my God-given responsibilities to my son! My family is my top priority, and everything else will have no choice but to be on the back burner.

Today I am going to...stop feeling sorry for myself!
I will not let the fact that I am homesick rob me of a blessing that God has prepared for my life.

Today I am going to...rest in the arms of my husband!
When I have a day like today, that's the only place I want to be!

Today I am going to...pray that the Lord changes my attitude!
I also like resting in the arms of our heavenly Father. I need to seek Him at all times, and I need to make sure that my cup is filled before I begin each day!
