Stop Mode
I live in cycles. Run-run-run. STOP. I’m in stop mode now. I have barely moved since Wednesday. I have been in this chair for two days.
Stylish Bloggers
My Aussie friend, Deanne, gave me a Stylish Blogger Award. I have never thought of myself as a stylish blogger, but I’ll play along because I always think it’s fun to learn new things about you all.
A Rough Week
The past few days have been rough. The kind of days that make me think about taking up drinking.
Last night I had a good night of sleep and woke up and thinking, “Ahhh, today will be better.”
Texas Cold
Here in this part of Texas we get a little crazy when the temperature goes below freezing. Schools cancel classes, stores close, we put an extra lamp in the chicken coop.
Piles, Kids and Friends
I’ve spent the last two days surrounded by piles. Piles of things I need to take with me to Nashville, piles of to-do lists, piles of school work that I need to leave behind for the kids.
It has been harder to prepare to leave them than if I were taking them with me.
Confessions of an Under-Sleeper
I often wish for more hours in the day.
I know God has infinite wisdom and my thinking is the equivalent of a pea, but really….I need more time.
Lisa’s Favorite Things Giveaway!
There are so many little things that I use and love that I decided to share them with you. I know how much I like to get tips from my friends on a great product, so I thought I’d let you in on some of my favorites:
Getting Ready for Blissdom
Yes, I am leaving. By myself. With no children to ask me a million questions and a have desperate need for a Sprite. No husband to say things like, “No, we are not stopping at that yard sale.”
Mother of the Year
I don’t know about you all, but I am so glad to be getting back to normal around here. The holidays really cut into my diet and school….doesn’t happen.
I made the announcement yesterday, “Everyone is expected to be up by 7:am tomorrow and ready for school by 9 with chores finished.
Christmas: Phase Three
Christmas at our house progresses in three phases.
One: Preparation….months of preparation. Shopping for that perfect little thing that will light up the eyes of each child, decking the halls and celebrating with friends.
