So this has been a fairly good week. I haven’t posted much here – but I think we’re all feeling better. I spent most of Wednesday sleeping while my kids slept. That had a LOT to do with my feeling better. I had 2 good days of accomplishing tasks – 1 of not doing much… read more »
A Bubbling Brew-haha
2012
Life is NOT like a box of chocolates, Forrest! I don’t know about you, but I typically know which ones are caramels, which ones have nuts, can identify and distinguish between the milk and dark chocolates. But life? Life is not always so easy to navigate. Like chocolate, it can be very sweet, very sticky,… read more »
Planning for the Unknown
2011
I’ve come to see Resolutions as Plans for the Unknown… While I set some goals and make some resolutions about things I’d like to accomplish, changes I’d like to make, plans I’d like to follow through – I can’t really PLAN for the unknown. God knows that about me. He knows that about US in… read more »
Review of 2011 and View of 2012
2011
There is something about looking back over a previous year that does a soul good, don’t you think? Sometimes we see failures. Sometimes we see successes. Sometimes we see struggles and trials. Sometimes we see amazing miracles and blessings. It is a GOOD thing to consider where we’ve come from and what God has done… read more »
What Can You Do in Fifteen Minutes?
2011
Sometimes, okay very OFTEN, throughout my day, I come to a point where I have 15 minutes to work with. An extra 15 minutes that takes me by surprise. Rather than sitting and fretting over what I SHOULD be doing, I am trying to learn to get up and actually DO something with that time. … read more »
House Remodel Update: Slow and Steady
2011
So, the house remodel has been, well, SLOW these days. We’ve had several days when nobody showed up to do anything on the house. We don’t always know when or if they will be here – and that is only mildly annoying. If they aren’t here by 9 am, they probably won’t be here. And… read more »

Happy Friday! One Lump or Two?
2011
How do you take your coffee? or Tea? or soft drink? Creamer? Sugar? Ice? No ice? Lemon? Sweetener? Straight Up? What is your favorite cold beverage? What is your favorite hot beverage? It’s Fall – and that means more warm-you-up beverages. How do you like yours? I like mine tall and sweet – lots… read more »
How is Your Perspective?
2011
How easy is it for you to actually change your perspective about something? Anything? Do you tend to fight it – holding onto long-held beliefs and values, or are you willing to reconsider misinformed opinions or misapplied standards? I’ve read a few things over the past week that made me think long and hard. That… read more »
What I have been up to
2011
Two weeks ago today, Little Man had his big surgery. He continues to do well, and the last of his stitches are finally healing up. It’s taken awhile – and I’ve changed more diapers in the past 2 weeks than the previous 2 months. Really. He has gone from constipated to prolific production. and he… read more »
