We are in the path of potentially bad weather today. There has already been marble and golf ball sized hail not twelve miles from us. My meteorologist friend has suggested we find someplace with a basement for this afternoon. Having grown up in Indiana, severe weather is nothing new for me. But this morning, as… Continue reading Stuff
My devotional book today was all about being thankful to God. The “assignment” portion was to list ten things for which I am grateful: 1. Excedrin Migraine 🙂 2. Our morning play date 3. Our evening dinner company 4. My hubby 5. My son 6. Naps 7. Sunshine (even on a 30* day) 8. My… Continue reading Ten Things
It is early as I write this. 6 am. But this seems to be the only “me time” I have lately. I’m settling into a nice new routine. Little Man wakes up between 5 & 6 am most mornings. He gets a new diaper, some milk and some cuddling. Then he goes back down for… Continue reading Thankful
Two weeks ago we had our furnace checked. It turns out the heat exchanger is cracked. I don’t know exactly what that does, but it’s cracked in two places and it could lead to a fire or a carbon monoxide leak. The furnace people (that we love and have used for years) explained that if the part… Continue reading This is How God Works!
Okay okay…so yesterday’s post was a little whiny. But I was really tired. And my poor baby is teething (currently have a call in to the doc about upping the tylenol doseage! he’s getting big!). Little Man doesn’t cry all the time. He’s usually a generally happy, content, lay-on-the-blanket and coo at the ceiling fan kinda… Continue reading Really, I’m Super-Blessed
It snowed here yesterday/last night. We got pretty close to 8″ of the wet white stuff, and when the wind started in we got HUGE snow drifts. Last year, we bought a snowblower. Excuse me, Keith…a snow THROWER. Whatever, right? Anyway…last time it snowed I used it on the driveway and was informed that Keith… Continue reading Family Saturday
Whew! What a week of ups and downs. Ups: House is clean & baby-ready, family is baby-ready, lots of great naps and snuggle time with the pupsters, hubby got a full week of work in (read: $$$), lots of good books read, homecooked meals, warm house. Downs: friend diagnosed with breast cancer, friend’s mother passed… Continue reading Simply Saturday
How many times a day to I say to my students, “Listen to me.”? Countless, I am sure. How many times a day does the Holy Spirit say to me, “Listen to me.”? Countless, again, I am sure. Today I listened. Last Thursday (of course) we got an email from the paralegal at the lawyer’s… Continue reading Listen…
I’m having trouble getting into the holiday spirit. I’ll write more about that later, though. Right now…reasons I have to be thankful on Thanksgiving (in no particular order): 1) My husband. He works very hard and is planning to work even harder so I can be a SAHM someday. 2) My mother. She is the bestest… Continue reading Thanksgiving Thoughts
