Happy Valentines

Happy Valentines Friends!

Thanks for coming to our Friday coffee. Can I offer you some delicious raspberry tea or coffee along with some yummy chocolates? I just can't resist these. They seem to call out my name as soon as they get in my house. 

   I do feel that it's the one time that I just indulge and say,"It's o.k." Isn't it amazing how many different treats that you can find in the store or bakery? I just wanted to get some for my kids to give out at school and the choices are overwelming. Plus, it cracks me up how it's a contest about who can give out the "coolest" valentines. My sons are like,"Mom, it's not cool to give out suckers, we have to give out fun candy like AIRHEADS. So, now I know. 

     I'm going to take a little poll on my post today. I'd loved to know what you find romantic.

• A night out on the town with eating out, movie, or dancing
• A quiet night at home, home cooked meal, rent a movie , cozy fire
• A picnic lunch at the park
• A handwritten poem from your hubby
• Flowers

Of course, I wouldn't give a poll without taking it myself. What I find romantic is a quiet night at home, home cooked meal(from my husband) and also he cleans it up, a great movie like Sleepless in Seattle or When Harry Met Sally and a great fire that's cracklin in the background. 

I might even get lucky(hey this is PG) and get a foot rub which I LOVE!!!! So, if any of my friends want to contact the significant other and hint on the foot rub then I owe you. 

Whatever your day brings, just remember how much you are loved by so many people that you may not ever get to meet but share a common thread of wanting their home to be a sanctuary for their families. Happy Valentines to all my Company Girls. I hope it's special as all of you are.

Company Girl Coffee 2/6/09

COME IN AND HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE WITH ME!!!!!!

O.K., if this is how you are feeling today then you are not alone. Many of us just don't have enough hours in the day to get all those daunting tasks done that we need to do. Luckily, I have discovered Rachel Anne's website @ http://homesanctuary.typepad.com/rachelanne and have gotten my life in order. She has introduced us to an amazing schedule that has put peace back into my life. Luckily now, my "I like to do" list is outweighing my "I have to do" list. 

    These are some of my A-ha moments this week:

• That paperclip that is on the floor is not going to magically grow legs and walk into the drawer. I'm going to finally pick it up and put it away.No more groundhog day for me!
• I don't have to keep a million magazines. Recycle them to friends!!!
• It feels good to wake up to a sink that isn't full of dishes and is spic-n-span.
• I can wash a load of clothes in the morning so they are ready to go when I come home.
• The kids don't care that i'm not Betty Crocker. They just want a meal that is not in a can.
• I can still look and feel sexy for my husband,ooohhlaaaalaaa!                                                     

Thanks again for visiting and hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

Company Girl Coffee

Happy Friday Everyone! 

 I would love to sit down with each and everyone of you and enjoy alittle cup o'joe. Hopefully this post finds all of you well and happy. I just got through watching the national news and man can't that just depress you beyond belief? I was watching all the folks in the middle of the country that are having to struggle with just having electricity and heat tonight and my heart goes out to them. We all take things like that for granted until they are snatched away in a second. I know when I see things like that I am humbled and thankful that our God is in control. When we see just a small portion of what is going on, He always sees the big picture ! 

      Our task this week from Rachel Anne is to have a housekeeping schedule. While most of us have the tendency to think, Yuck, I really have been searching my heart and realize that it's a blessing that I even have a home to get messy. My time with Him in the morning is spent in thankfulness for all the blessings in my life. I hope this thought lights alittle spark for you to spend alittle extra time in your day thanking God for all He gives us when we definately don't deserve it. 

1Cor. 23:30 They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord.

They were to do the same in the evening. 

Thanks gals for coming and have a blessed weekend!!

Yeah, I conquered a 3 year olds room!!!

Yes Yes Yes, I finally organized my son's room. After dumping, sorting, throwing away, donating, buying tubs, and labeling, I finished!!! Man, this is a great feeling and I will enjoy it for awhile before I head to the next room that is occupied by the 14 YEAR OLD,YIKES!!!!!!!!

Company Girl Chat

Well this is my first company girl coffee. After waking up to a chilly start, I was determined

to work on my hair like Rachel and get the mop cut. I plunged out into the cold and came home

with a great feeling of accomplishment. It's always great to feel like you were able to complete

a task. That is why I love Rachel's site so much! Be sure and check out http://homesanctuary.typepad.com/rachelanne/

Now the rest of the day is up for grabs. I think the hall closet is calling my name. 

 *I have saved way to many coats that I never wear(donation time)

 *Get rid of the empty boxes that accumulate in there for no apparent reason

 *Maybe find a stray flip flop that we have been looking for since last summer

 *Vacuum up those scarry dust bunnies that live in there

Well, i'm off. Enjoyed chatting and hope everyone goes to bed tonight with a feeling of ACCOMPLISHMENT! I've gotten a great start!!!

Thank you Lord for health,energy, and a house to be able to clean up.

Pie in the Face!!!

Well all the Sunday School kids at church sure had a blast yesterday. They had the distinct

honor of showering Rob with a face full of cool whip. Boy what a mess and I could still smell the sour cool whip that continued to linger even after 2 showers. Yuck!! Thank you Lord for 

your servant who will do anything to excite kids about you.
