A brief YouTube Video about Monday Morning.

https://youtu.be/v4AQmGUpR-s

I started journaling when I was 10 years old. Maybe younger. I was always writing things down. Sharing everything on paper. Silly things like what I watched on TV. Who I had a crush on. What I ate for dinner. What we were doing on the farm. As I got older I would fill up my diaries. I started using notebooks. I would quickly fill them up.

So Why is it so hard for me to journal now?
I always do a 30 Days Thanksgiving Journal.
I found an old notebook. I was sad because I didn’t have a new one. I always have notebooks.
I found a pencil. I added the date and the title.

Then NOTHING Came.
Oh, I will do my I AM THANKFUL FOR MY BOBBY MEMORIES one. I will post about my family.
Yet, when I went to think of something positive I had nothing to write.
I already shared the first I Am Thankful Post here. Very Simple.
I couldn’t remember how to use WordPress. It’s been a year since I was on much at all.
A WHOLE YEAR.

Yesterday, I woke up feeling excited about the WEATHER. In Florida, I am seldom excited about it.
Long story short:
November 1st was our first FALL -LIKE DAY.
Not really cool but COOLER. ALL DAY.
It was still 74 degrees in the house.
It’s been 74 degrees the last week or so.
It felt cooler. I didn’t wake up all hot and sticky.
I walked outside and it was COOLER. In the mid 60’s.
I wanted to open ALL OF THE WINDOWS but I knew Danny would be on the cold side.
He has his little heater going all year in his computer room. SUMMERS included.
I was HAPPY.

I fixed a Chai Tea Latte for myself and fixed a Cappuccino for Danny.
Got his lunch ready and was waiting for him to walk into the kitchen shortly after 7AM.
Then ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.

He turned on the kitchen light. Also turning on the fan.

He YELLED at me the next half hour until he left for work.
Yelling at me because the fan was on.
The fan is almost always on in the kitchen.
It is the hottest room in the house.

ALL DANNY HAD TO DO WAS TURN OFF THE FAN.
Or ASK ME TO DO IT.
He didn’t do any of those things.
He decided it was my fault he was cold.
That I purposely left the fan on.

I never thought of turning the fan off until he started yelling.
I turned it off as quickly as I could.

He still never stopped yelling at me.

It was bad.

His drinking has turned him into a different person whom NO ONE WANTS TO BE AROUND.

Remembering Karen and the fun we had on our ROAD TRIP.
I have no idea where those photos are. They are safe, just on a cloud somewhere!!!!!
Losing Karen only makes me feel the loss of Bobby more. She was one of the few people who really knew Bobby. No one here in Florida ever met Bobby, except Danny.
I have been more Debbie the last few days than Sarah. Few people really understand the 2 sides to me. They either know me as Debbie, Bobby’s Mom or as Sarah, Danny’s wife. Karen KNEW ME AS BOTH.

This was from our Road Trip. We were at Karen’s Ex-In-laws house in Jerseyville., Illinois. Near my hometown. Where I went to school.

I have always considered the Lyiming’s Family.

Dan and I , Bobby, Mike And Leah in La Veta, Colorado. 1984

Bobby 1 year. 1981.

When you lose all of your photos, you have to rely on Copies of Copies.

May 25,2006. After saying GOODBYE TO BOBBY ON HIS MOUNTAIN IN COLORADO. My Mom And Dad, Donna, Danny and I.

Bobby in Colorado Springs.

Danny and I After…….

Love And Hugs,
Sarah

Make Over Your Mornings by Crystal Paine.

I need to work through Crystal’s Make Over Your Evenings Course as well as her Make Over Your Year one again.

She really does give you everything you need to get started.

http://sarahsatticoftreasures.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/mym-set-book-video.png

There is a video for every day.

Her first lesson is free.

FROM SARAH : Wriiten a few years ago.

Jami Belmont of Young Wife’s Guide is doing Make Over Your Mornings. She started it in a Facebook group this week.

I have gone through it once before, last January. Skipping around and not totally working through it.

All the pages from the workbook were printed out. But never filled in.

I wasn’t feeling all that great then. Tired and restless. I should have worked it then..All of it.

So for the next 2 weeks, I am going through it with Jami. You all, will be my accountability partners.

Danny just blows off anything to do with my blog….. my internet activites…. unless it has to do with trains.

Only part of the setup we have now.

I.will also be working through this course again starting on August 29, when Heidi Marahell. Hoping to really dig deep then. There are so many resources out there on morning routines. Evening routines. I read everything.

Morning Motivated Mom
Our schedule is crazy. Danny and I are both LATE LATE NIGHTERS. ( Which is good for us as a couple). We love to stay up late and sleep in late.

His late field days and the 5 days he is off every other week allows us to do this.

Danny manages getting up early 6 AM because he sleeps so soundly the few hours he has at night.Plus, in the summer months , especially, he takes long naps when he gets home from work.

I, on the other hand, don’t ever sleep well at night. Or I should say, I seldom , EVER sleep well, if I sleep at all.

I am an insomniac.

I am also at my best emotionally and physically at night. Even when I am in a lupus flair.

So I have learned to sleep when I can, for as long as I can.

So why am I working through Making Over Your Morning Course?

Because I need to learn to make the best of them. To enjoy them.

To make use of my quiet mornings by myself.

For Bible Study. In-depth Bible Study most days.

In the early mornings when Danny has to get up at 6 AM Or more accurately, when his alarm goes off at 6AM. He does not just get up.

No, the alarm goes off for at least 2 more times. If not 3 or 4.

That IRRITATES me to no end. I hate alarms.

Most mornings, if I am in bed , I get up before it goes off. Or as soon as it goes off the first time. I won’t lay around.

So I get up and I function on automatic pilot.

Mornings are easy for me because I have done everything the night before. (Except FOR THE DISHES) . They are rinsed well and stacked neatly.

I am working on this. I am getting better.

I love on Mr. Bojangles. Make sure he and the rabbit have plenty of water. The rabbit is in the kitchen for the summer.

Bible Study in the kitchen before Danny gets up.

The coffee is already made for Danny. I try NOT TO LET THE SMELL GAG ME.

I get his lunch out of the refrigerator and into his lunch box. Along with his drinks.

Next Bible Study until Danny gets up.

I stop everything when Danny first comes in to grab his coffee.

I stop it again when he comes in dress for work we visit as he is getting his boots on. His belt. Etc.

A kiss and he is off.

If I am not feeling well or really exhausted, I go back to bed. Then get up when I am ready to.

On good mornings like today, I continue my Bible study. Then I start on this course. I often take photos of the sun coming up. Of the glow from the lights in the early morning hours.

Me this morning.

I’ve moved into the living room where I can watch the sun come up. Watch the construction crew drive past..

The work radio is on..

The day has begun.

Happy Wednesday From Rolling Meadows Ranch And Our Neck Of The Woods.

Happy October 1st/ What Happened To September?

Our Vacation is nearing the end. We have 2 full days left and 2 partial.
I am not ready to go back to real life. I haven’t been happy with park life in a long time. Not really sure how I am going to face the endless days there. I haven’t had nearly as much Family Time with Danny as I needed. At least he hasn’t been able to hole up in a room and shut me out like he does at home.

Danny needs to mow but it may not get done. It has poured every day. He was also working late field all week. We leave tomorrow morning. I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT FOR HIME TO MOW.

It’s a rainy day here on Rolling Meadows Ranch. Danny is at Lake Kissimmee State Park working late field. I can’t wait until he actually pulls out of the park tonight. He will officially be on vacation.
He really NEEDS TO MOW but I am HOPING HE BLOWS IT OFF THIS TIME.
We need to leave here by 9 AM to catch the first Amtrak coming out of Sebring. It should be in Avon Park shortly after 11:25 AM.
We don’t want to miss even one of them.
This was an unexpected 2 week vacation. One that won’t happen again for MONTHS. Covid 19 and the flu will be hitting harder, here, shortly. So will all of the colds. Neither of can handle being sick again.
I have never really recovered getting sick in January and February. I still have virtually, no sense of smell or taste.

It’s been a relaxing day so far but it will be a busy one tonight as I get ready for our trip.
Two Weeks. That’s unheard of for BOTH of US.

Sebring (also known as the Old Sebring Seaboard Air Line Depot and the Seaboard Air Line Passenger Station) is a train station in Sebring, Florida, United States. It is currently served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. Located on East Center Avenue, the station was constructed in 1924 by the Seaboard Air Line Railway. Approaching the transfer of passenger services to Amtrak, the station was used by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad for the Silver Meteor, Silver Star and the Palmland. The latter train ended in 1971, while the Silver Meteor and Silver Star remain operated by Amtrak to the present.^[6][7] Amtrak trains formerly using the station included the Floridian, Palmetto, Sunset Limited and the short-lived intrastate Tampa-Miami Silver Palm service.
