The Blessing of Being Too Busy
Cartoon I told my husband last night my ginormous task list for the week and I realized that I probably forgot some things. For that matter, I only gave him THIS week. But there are some real benefits to being too busy like I am now. I'm going to give you two of...
The best place to be
We have spent tons of money and time making this girl a beautiful bedroom and yet where does she sleep? The hallway. Hope she gets over that before she gets married. 🙂 -- Post From My iPhone
What Not to Do
I was reading the GetOrganizedWizard blog and loved the post on what not to do. I decided not to let the opportunity to blog about it pass me by. I remember hearing an excellent sermon by Dr. S.M. Davis on the fact that God's commands on what not to do are much...
Going After the Gong
I am irked. I have given hours and hours of my time and lots of my money to particular people and particular purposes in my life. Not only have I gotten precious little praise in return, but normally I get criticism and complaints instead. This morning I was...
Looking Good
I'll admit it. I like to look good. In the process of doing a superb, life-changing Bible study called Sonship, I have discovered how MUCH I like to look good and to get all the praise that goes along with that. A couple of weeks ago I decided to finally get rid of a...
Attachment Disorder
Last week I descended to a new all-time level of dumb. I pulled into a gas station, filled up the tank, got my kids some Slurpees, and headed home. A block and a half away from the station, I looked out my side-view mirror and saw that I had a new piece of equipment...
Fishing for Fun
I have discovered something I didn't think was possible--a kid activity I enjoy even less than painting. With six kids and three hooks vying for the opportunity of embedding themselves into human flesh, I am losing it. Now my husband is letting the six year old work...
Why You Might Not Want to Homeschool Year Round
The question homeschoolers are asking each other at the beginning of summer is, "Do you homeschool year round?" I usually have a tough time answering that question. If you ask me if I've intended to homeschool through the summer, the answer would be a resounding YES!...
Life is Just Dandy
I want to do more schooling than usual this summer, but I would like it to be a more relaxed, fun approach--you know, more like it's supposed to be all year. So today we did some fun science experiments that come free via email and Challenge 1 of...
The Gift of Being Unloved
When I think about my past, I can easily get caught up in feeling sorry for myself. As a Sanguine personality, I have been deeply hurt by people who didn't think I was all that Wonder-full. Especially hard to handle are the relationships that seemed to start off...
Firing Back at the Duggar Critics
I really haven't used this blog to address controversial issues, but since I've been reading the Duggars' book, following their preemie daughter's fight for life, and keep coming across hateful blog posts about them, I feel compelled to respond....
Changing Your IF to Get a New THEN
I was motivated to read one of the many books in my collection this morning. I tend to approach books the way I do scrapbooking supplies; I spend more time collecting them than using them! But one particular chapter on the trouble with 'If' in Success, Motivation, and...
