And we’ve got some more to answer… 2008-05-09 09:23:03 But first, let me say…
You can blame me for all the rain and storms as I just washed my car…
You can blame me for the spike in gas prices, because I just bought a car that has a bigger gas tank…
You can blame me for your child’s meltdown last night… because, well… we were on a roll.
Now that I have that out of the way, let’s answer
some more questions. (And before I forget, I did promise a little prize to one person who asked a question. I’ll leave it open until tonight at midnight and I’ll announce the winner on my last day of questions… that could be tomorrow, it could be Monday, but please keep me busy. I won’t be leaving the house because I can’t afford to… and it’s too wet. And I know… itR
I love my readers… and their questions (and my hair!) 2008-05-08 10:33:03 So let’s answer a few more…and I was going to do this tomorrow but Becki and Soliloquy were antsy… because their questions
were answered in this one… and because I’m nice, I’ll do it today…
Soliloquy asks:
Being a new believer that found Jesus in the way you did, what advice do you have for believers who are timid in sharing their faith? What offended you? What didn’t offend you? What drew you?
Jesus is all over the internet, you know that don’t you? He works through the internet, oh yes he does. And I have to wonder… do you think that Jesus is a Mac or PC user?
Regardless, yes, it was through the internet that I found my Jesus. Ok, so he wasn’t lost, I just decided not to go looking for him… waiting for Him to come to Read more:readers
That’s My Final Answer… 2008-05-12 15:07:23 And so we need to wrap this up. And I need to tell you who won. And I need to finish my work for the day, pick a blogger of the week, get ready for OIVAC and a multitude of other things, but you all are important and I know that you’ve been waiting patiently for the rest of the answers…
Humor me, okay?
So let’s go…

MommyFest 2008 with a chance to win! 2008-05-12 08:57:39 Welcome welcome to the Mommy Fest Blog Party!
Or at least my little corner of it.
I’m Heather… an insane work at home mom of two children. You can read all about them on my blog, and don’t worry, I’ve asked them if they mind me sharing about them on my blog… and they said they didn’t. Today, anyway.
I invite you to peruse, leave a comment, and we’ll be d Read more:chance
How Much Is the Interest on that Doggie in the Window? 2008-05-12 07:30:15 The science fair projects are done and I’ll have more on that later.
I’ll also have the remaining answers to your questions (and really, I’m putting it off because I have to talk about balance and this weekend PROVES that I suck at it…) but I promise… soon. Like today sometime.

It’s about faith, stupid… 2008-05-11 17:57:16 I have spent multiple weeks being attacked by the enemy. These attacks have come by way of members of my church, members of my family, friends, strangers, children, adults, etc. Every time I feel that I have risen above it (read: laughed it off and tried to pretend like it doesn’t bother me) another attack would happen.
I have spent the better part of two weeks angry, afraid, bothered, hu
Albert Einstein I am Not… 2008-05-10 21:40:58 I know that I owe you some more answers to some questions, and I apologize, but I’m up to my eyeballs in science fair projects right now.
And oh what a debacle that has been.
Despite the fact that I have seen NUMEROUS YouTube videos on children who have powered an MP3 player and a clock with potatoes, we have been unsuccessful.
We have, however, determined how much salt it takes in a glass o Read more:Albert

I don’t mind telling you… 2008-05-13 23:11:19 I’m Pooped. With a capital P even.
The motivation is still here, but so is all the work, and the projects that went with. I tell ya, that God of mine… He’s so funny.
You know how I saved a boatload of money switching my auto insurance to Geico fixing my own pipes?
Tonight I spent that. On something else that broke.
However, due to my new budget plan and savings when the TV
Let me tell you about my awards… 2008-05-13 14:35:07 The science fair is done. Awards were given today and tonight, we parents can go and ooh and aah over our children’s projects, bring them home and then find a time when the kids won’t notice to trash them because they are taking up space.
(You do that too, don’t you? Surely you don’t save EVERY project?)
But because I’m behind the 8-ball, I never got to show you the
If the TV gig doesn’t work out…perhaps I’ll be a plumber… 2008-05-12 21:27:07 Apparently, telling the enemy that he could not have my faith did something to me. Perhaps I should’ve done that a while ago, but I awoke this morning with a new attitude and it was a good day.
I dropped the kids off with their science fair projects and I was proud of them as I looked at the other display boards that were not quite as good as theirs. Pride? Yes.
I came home and paid bi Read more:perhaps
And so begins my break… 2008-05-14 20:33:22 Y’all… I gotta tell ya. Things are CRAZY right now. C-R-A-Z-Y. Most of the time, this little blog-o-mine keeps me sane. As does Twitter. And MySpace. But in reflecting upon some things tonight as we got our hineys kicked from here to kingdom come, I realized that the Mommy Community, as much as I love it, and love you all, is distracting me WAY too much.

On What I Do For a Living… 2008-05-14 08:42:24 Sister Pie Honey Bunch (you know how I love you…) wasn’t ready to be done with the whole Q&A session… and quite honestly, I’m not sure that I’ve ever really addressed this. I know that I have in emails back and forth between readers, but when she left me a comment and said here’s a question I can’t find the answer to: What is your career? I had to Read more:Living
We Interrupt This Bloggy Break for a Dork Moment… 2008-05-16 09:19:05 I’m sorry, bloggy break or not, I can’t NOT talk about the NKOTB today. (Excuse the double negative, I’m pretty sure Mrs. Callahan, my 12th grade English teacher isn’t reading….)
I resisted all morning the urge to get on here and blog about them, and I gave in. I can’t help it. And did you know that they added more tour dates… so I don’t have Read more:Break

Blog Pick of the Week… Sisters of a Different Order 2008-05-19 08:42:07 You know what I forgot to do last week? I forgot a blog pick of the week. Well, I didn’t exactly forget, but when I remembered, there was that whole bloggy break thing going on and it was later in the week and well… it just didn’t happen.
And my blog roll page is broken. And now I have to fix it. And I don’t want to. Because I don’t have time.

The Kid in Me…. 2008-05-19 08:03:55 Being a youth leader affords me the opportunity of being a kid… alot. I get to let my hair down, act stupid, and get away with it. The beauty of it is those aged 12-18 think that I’m cool whereas doing stuff like that at the office? Not so much. (And I do it at the office, but I don’t get the same response…)
There is very little proof, documented anyway, of me actin
Movie Monday…. On being a hopeless romantic… 2008-05-19 07:00:49 I don’t know if you all actually LIKE the movies or not, but I have fun making them… so feel free to watch if you wish… if you don’t, I won’t be offended. But know, that for right now, because they are so time consuming, because I’m anal and because I like to play with the various features of iMovie, I’ll only have them on Monday

I now know where that came from… 2008-05-21 12:00:06 My earlier post, at the time it was written, was so random. I even titled it “I have no Idea Where This Came From”…
A letter from the ex, a memory of my mother, an example of how I should be… it was just so completely out there…
For me. And maybe for you.
But not for my God.
Oh no. He had a plan, a purpose for that email that was written over six years ago….
I have no idea where this came from… 2008-05-21 06:24:23
As I was cleaning up from the yard sale tornado that swept through my home last Thursday, I came across an email between and ex and I. I’m not sure why I still had it or why it was shoved down in the laptop case that was worth alot and got sold or 25 cents, but I had it.

What Is Love? 2008-05-20 07:16:59
Found this meme over at Second Hand Karl… don’t ask me why I’m doing it… I’m bored, maybe? Oh no, wait… it’s because I over slept and missed church and thought that I would use this time to load up blog posts for the week so that I could remain productive.

It’s All True 2008-05-23 08:38:28 I’ve been working on this forever. Ok, I lie. Not forever. Actually, I’ve been crafting my answers in my head. Then I was going to do a video. But that didn’t work out. So now I’m going to type it and pray that the witty answers I had, I can remember.
Warning: This might suck.

I have a story to tell… 2008-05-26 06:00:33 I have been contemplating writing this story
for some time, but haven’t found the courage to do so. I’ve been asked many times to share this story, but I haven’t, even though, if you follow Lisa B. at simply His, you’ve heard bits and pieces.
However, this story will be broken up into several different parts and not because I’m prolific. Well, I am, but there are s

Blog Pick of the Week: Frantically Simple 2008-05-25 06:00:42 I don’t even know where to begin when telling you about my pick this week….
Let’s just say she’s FREAKING hysterical.

You saw him HERE first! 2008-05-29 21:00:12 I have to interrupt this spiritual movement. I have to. I don’t want to, but I have to.
What you probably don’t know is that I took another blog break this week while my testimony has been running, and oh I can’t wait to tell you how I have been blessed already just by sharing, but I have to wait… for a little.
I wanted this to be a reverent week and not post anything BUT
