Today I was without kids. I try not to act like a mad woman and do a gazillion things that look like they need to get done, but never do. So I opted for cleaning out the wing back chair in my office that was STACKED with STUFF.
Today I was able to give away a [...]

Update: Putting a hold on wanting (purging)

Words that begin with the letter “A”
I thought I would sum up my Tuesday in honor of reinforcing the letter “A” as Sammy and I do to work on his alphabet.
Apparent – It was apparent, as my two children RAN to the donut display case, that eating donuts out was indeed a treat.
Applied – Sammy applied for his library card today!
Aggravated [...]

The ring, please…
Seeing as I’m short on sleep, my tolerance level is a bit low, as well as my motivation. While putting Sammy down for a nap and SW was crying in his bed (and didn’t want his door shut..what’s that about??), I’m thinkin’ “I could really use that ring that Frodo was trying to destory in [...]

A forgotten addiction
Last night around 11pm I finally sat down to watch 24. I’d recorded since the season began but was a little iffy about devoting 2 hours to a show (for the premiere episode) after not having “needed” it for what, a year, now? And I’d only caught a little bit of the 2 hour special [...]

I don’t get it…
Here’s how this conversation went between me and husband. He’d received a call about an accident that had happened and told me the names of those involved.
Me – That name sounds familiar.
Him – His family owns (blank) business and is on (this) commercial. (He says it rather indignantly – like I should know this.)
So later [...]

The Stone Sunday Chronicles
This morning I was considering posting every Sunday after church, seemingly while the kids are watching Little Bear before nap time, or after I’ve put them down for a nap. Sunday is my most favorite day of the week. I whole-heartedly enjoy going to worship with my family, and then seeing my church family. Praising [...]

Putting a hold on wanting
I’ve noticed this problem lately in my mind (which leads to my actions) – I’ve been wanting stuff. Different kinds of stuff; some of them expensive and some not so. So I’m thinking “Am I really content with what I have” if I’m wanting this and that, giving too much thought to it, researching it [...]

A “Spit” of joy
I was just lamenting to the Lord while cleaning off my dirty table before my Mom and Auntie come over to go out to eat for Mom’s Birthday “Father, could I please exchange my woefulness over not having a babysitter for my yoga class tomorrow morning, angst about my eldest’s behavior, yucky nap time, husband [...]

Pillow talk
I had the pleasure of snuggling with my Sammy this morning. He and I both appreciate cold pillows. When I’ve put him down for naps, after a few minutes he’ll ask me to turn his pillow over so it will be cold.
This morning as we were sharing a pillow he asked me “Momma, how does [...]

And His response was…
My Heavenly Father is perhaps still giddy over my response to His response…since the boys are no longer in MDO, I am in bible study on Thursday mornings studying Esther (more about that later). So last week was our 2nd week and when I dropped the boys off I was told that each week the [...]
