Thoughts

Well, I have had so many thoughts I wanted to blog about lately, and absolutely no time to blog. Now I have a little time, and all those thoughts have escaped me. I guess I am getting "old" like Palmtree Pundit ;-)

I did, however, peruse some blogs of other homeschool moms, and saw this thought about worship that I wholeheartedly agree with. Here is an excerpt:

Parents, don't think that the complaints and fooliness(sic)of your own hearts aren't imitated by your children. Instead we should be teaching them the importance of worship, in all things, with our hearts and minds...as well as our emotions. It's an attitude of the heart.


Maybe some day my thoughts and time to share them will eventually collide!

Well Whaddayaknow?

My eyes actually are grey.




Your Eyes Should Be Gray



Your eyes reflect: Intensity and drive



What's hidden behind your eyes: A sensitive soul

Blogging Purpose?

I am trying to figure out just what the point of my blogging is. Originally I did this anonymously, hoping to "let it rip" with my thoughts, feelings, opinions. Then I found that I wasn't nearly as crass as I thought I'd be, so I "outed" myself.

However, there have been many times that I'd like to get my thoughts written down, and haven't because I would hate to be misunderstood by those who know me and read this blog.

In the past, I was an avid writer. I have so many stories. Many of them about life in general, and some about things I am learning along the way. But since blogging, my "real" writing has been non-existent. The problem is that blogging just doesn't "feed the bulldog" as my friend Kathy would say.
I guess I was hoping for more interaction? And though I do appreciate any interaction, the reality is that it primarily occurs when I change the look of the blog. Nothing against that, it's just that the bulldog needs something a bit more substantial. I suppose that is why I haven't really blogged a whole lot in general, and recently in particular.

Again, I am just rambling and writing out thoughts as they come....

Mood Adjustment

I was not really looking forward to this day. It is one in a series where I am doing my regular jobs with the added joy of unravelling a big mess. Not only is it a big mess, but it is someone else's mess. Oooh, my favorite.
Yesterday was extra crispy, as I had all my regular respnsibilities, plus the unraveling gig, and I got to call Roto-Rooter! And joy of joys, the cleanout is in our garage. (It was a carport,so I guess that made sense to the architect??) Don't be jealous yet, because I got to clean up sewage in the garage. But it did not end there. No sirree. At about 10PM (still up unraveling the other mess) I discovered my refrigerator stopped working. So *today*, I am doing all my regular jobs, plus hunting down a refrigerator repairman. (We bought the service plan via Sears when we bought the fridge but they can't make it til Saturday. I don't think my yogurt, milk, and porkchops will make it til then, do you?)

So I was going to complain on this post (no, this is not me complaining).

Then I went outside and saw a gorgeous day, 3 healthy kids, a lovely home, and thought the better of it!
