The Process 2008-04-22 08:46:00 If you stop by my house today, you will find me upstairs, buried in clothes. Yesterday I started, what I like to call, "The Process
." It's the bi-annual shifting of the clothes. This time it's from cold weather to warm.
It is a monumental task...involving many, MANY piles. It is also a 2-day minimum project. Yesterday I got Noah & Eli's closet (somewhat)weeded out, but I ran out of time to dig
Sign Me Up 2008-04-23 08:49:00 Oh bloggy friends...I have just officially signed up for my first race on May 10th. Now, before you get too excited, I should tell you that it is only a 4 mile race :) For the under-achiever living in me....that is perfection! There is also coffee and bagels at the end...yeah...like I said, perfection. It's Heth's fault, really. She made it sound so fun that I couldn't resist. She also mentioned
Don't Go Breakin My Heart 2008-04-22 13:23:00 This kid is breaking my heart. Ripping it out of my chest. Sigh.
Eli, the past few weeks, has decided that he does not want to go to preschool. The closer we get to the school, he starts to say, "I don't feel so good" and tears well up in his big eyes. The first day he did this, I thought maybe he really was sick, so I took him home and made him rest. But...it has continued. I have asked him a Read more:Breakin

Adjustable 2008-04-24 10:49:00 I need to be upfront with ya'll today. I have tried and tried to come up with something other than what I am going to blog about today. But I can't get it out of my head. So, I figure, if I just post about it, maybe it will leave. Maybe.
What could be so important and fascinating that I just can't stop thinking about it?
Adjustable Waist Jeans.
Yep...you read it right. As I got my two year
I Can Take A Hint... 2008-04-25 08:38:00 I love checking email in the morning. For some reason, logging on and seeing all those messages is pure joy...it is also how I know I am a big dork. This morning I found this message, on Facebook, from one of my bestest friends and sis-in-law...
"O.K. I am at work and just checked out your blog for the first time. I am not on the clock by the way!! Why in the world haven't you mentioned me, the
Big Important Decisions... 2008-04-28 09:48:00 Hebrews 11:1 " What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead." It's a verse I've heard a bazillion times...but today, it was fresh. Gotta love that. This week I get to go to the dentist (barf) and get my hair cut (YAY!)...I know...it is an exciting life Read more:Decisions
The Time I Waste... 2008-04-27 19:45:00 What Your Latte Says About You
You'd think after the "loafers" incident, I would learn not to take these quizzes, but, as you can see..."some people gotta learn the hard way" (I'm quoting DC Talk there...but that is a whole other post) Anyways...the only statement that is completely true is...I AM addicted to caffeine...I will not deny it. There...I said it. And now...I wish I had a real latte.
Is it Monday Yet? 2008-04-27 12:40:00 It has been an eventful few days for us. So much so, that I don't know how to post about it...except for a bullet point list, with pictures, of course.
It has been raining A LOT. We are all tired of it...but can't seem to stop talking about it.Saturday at 4:30 AM we awoke to the sounds of sirens. They were meant to notify our tiny town that it was filling with water. As I peered out the front Read more:Monday
Let it All Out 2008-04-29 07:27:00 Just let me say it...I REALLY like Tuesdays. On Tuesdays I do NOT have to get up to run, do not have carpool duty and only have to get one child out the door for school. LOVE Tuesday! Another bonus, is that tonight we have Ladies Bible Study, which I always look forward to.
The lesson we will be discussing in Seeking Him, is on honesty. *Deep breath* A week ago, I posted this, about my
For the Love of Awards and Haircuts 2008-04-30 15:40:00 Ok, so it's my SECOND post about "The Award" today...I'm still obviously talking about it. I know what you're thinking....it's a tad bit pathetic...but I promise it will wear off (eventually:)
I NEED to pass on the love though...and it is HARD! So, I decided that if I know you in real life...I cannot give you the award because I ABSOLUTELY can't pick between you...plus, I think all your blogs Read more:Awards
, Haircuts
Not So Humble... 2008-04-30 10:01:00 What could make a great night of Ladies Bible Study even better?!? Logging on to my blog (afterwards, of course) and seeing that my new blog friend, Kelli, at Ponderings of a Pastors Wife, gave me an AWARD!!!! WOO HOO! (She is fantastic...go check her out.) It's my first...and probably my last....so I am going to treasure it and talk on and on about it to everyone I know...because after all, how Read more:Humble
More Than You Want To Know... 2008-05-01 09:06:00 How nice & sweet & wonderful are my blog friends?!?! Seriously, you all are so KIND!!! I'm sorta thinking I could have gone back to my elementary days of the mullet hair cut, and ya'll woulda told me how fabulous I looked :) Where were you all in Junior High when I was all insecure about EVERYTHING!?!
I have nothing very exciting to share today...except that I survived getting my teeth
I Can't Remember... 2008-05-02 08:11:00 I am experiencing blog dejavu. Does this happen to you?!? I started blogging in February...which makes this my 95th post. Lately, as I start rambling on about something, I have this nagging suspicion that I've covered, whatever topic I'm rambling about, ALREADY! Weird.
I've also learned, (from my whole 95 posts) that giving your posts a non-obvious title, (because you are trying to convince Read more:Remember
Cute and Disgusting 2008-05-03 09:52:00 Cute & Disgusting...all at the same time. I have no idea what that junk is around his mouth, but it's obviously not bothering him. The hat: I bought it last year, to protect his little head from the sun. He would have none of that...took it off every. single. time. But now, this year...he wears it everywhere. It's too small (now) and it drives me nuts...of course he would want to wear it NOW
Hmmmm 2008-05-05 08:47:00 For some reason, I can't seem to come up with anything other than randomness on Mondays! Why is that?!? It brings back the words to a song that I recall loving in Jr. High..."Things That Make Ya Go Hmmmm." HA! Please tell me I'm not the only dork out there who remembers this song :) ...after this post I will have to venture off to You Tube and find it...it's a tad-bit frightening...all you
Six Thingys 2008-05-04 19:30:00 I've been tagged by Beefy. Which works out great, because it's Sunday...and I'm at a loss for a post idea!
I am supposed to come up with 6 words or phrases that best describe me.
Rules are as follows:
Write your own six-word memoirPost it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you'd likeLink to the person tho tagged youTag 5 more blogs with a linkRemember to leave a comment on the
For the Love of the List 2008-05-06 09:05:00 I'm a list person. I always have 10 different lists going...usually in several different notebooks (which I can't keep track of.) I am always formulating them in my head. Grocery list, Wal-mart list, bills list, to-do list, boys list, on and on. There are other weird lists in there too...The other pastor's wives list, the vehicles we've owned list (why!?! I don't know), stuff I want to ask Jesus
A Day in the Life of... 2008-05-07 12:27:00 I am amazed at all of the really WONDERFUL Pastor's wives that I have met while blogging. I wish I could explain what a blessing it has been in my life...to describe how it has ministered to me, and "filled my cup" so to speak...but, I would need to come up with some eloquent words (and for those of you who read this blog, ever, you'll know that's not likely to happen) so I'll just leave it at
It's Early... 2008-05-09 07:26:00 Dear Mom,How does one, especially me, put into words how thankful I am for you!?! I'm trying (very) hard to resist doing it in list form :) Here goes...This is your 30th mother's day :) I'm pretty sure you probably have all the cards you've ever received (from anyone) somewhere in your hope chest :) And yes, I know you'll print this off to show to the ladies at work ;)As I look back over the years of my life, not one has existed without you. From the beginning...from the moment you found out that you were going to be having a baby, at the tender age of 18, God has been working all things together for good. The choice to get married, although teenagers and probably not ready, you did it...and it was a good choice. It was the right choice. You created a home for me, that was filled with lov Read more:Early
The Big One 2008-05-08 07:40:00 It's tradition...or something like that. It's my 100th post...which means that since the end of February...I have blogged, ummm A LOT! Wonder how much time I've spent reading blogs? *cough* Let's not go there. Anyways, (or neways as I discovered the youngins are texting these days) its been a big week for me in blog-land. This week I had the MOST comments I've ever had on one post...24, I think :) AND I finally had over 100 visits in one day!! I'd been so close, 95, 97, but yesterday FINALLY! WOO HOO! I know, I know, it's not huge, but those of you with piddly little blogs, like myself...you get it. So here's stuff you already know, or maybe wish you didn't know...and maybe a few new ones. Maybe. In the words of DC Talk...I'm a Jesus Freak : avid enthusiast. Love of my life.Wife to an amaz
Rocks 4 Sale 2008-05-10 13:43:00 Gotta love it. Little boys selling rocks out of the back of their Gator. Their slogan, which Eli shouted over and over, at the top of his lungs..."Get your shiny rocks here"...they're quite the salesmen, they offered free flowers (weeds) with purchase. Price of the beautiful shiny rocks:$.50. You bet I bought some...I know a good deal when I see it.Happy Mother's Day! Read more:Rocks
Race Day 2008-05-12 10:30:00 Saturday, was finally THIS! Oh Yeah. I thought I should give you the report in pictures...because really, it makes it so much more interesting, right?!? (I have no idea why some of the pics are so small, except that sometimes blogger hates me...)Pre-RaceThis is my friend Jenni, me, and Billie (who I run with in tiny town...also my stunt double...people in tiny town get us confused) Here's Heth
Love Them 2008-05-11 16:54:00 Moms: Love being one...love having one. Happy Mother's Day!I have managed to make Mother's DAY into a weekend event...I think it should be changed to Mother's Weekend...or better yet, week. Last night, I overheard Eli, my middle one, telling his older brother that he wished there was a "Kid's Day" then they could get candy. HA! I think I may have muttered under my breath something about Every.
Oh Yeah...Again. 2008-05-12 16:20:00 It happened....I didn't think it would...but it did...I got ANOTHER one! WOO HOO! Now, before ya'll stop reading because I sound (all) conceited...you should know...that I just blab on and on about it because...I'm not an "awards getter" type person (all the English/grammar people just stopped reading after that new word I made up...which I do a lot, by the way) the shock of it just compels me to Read more:Again
Random "Boringness" 2008-05-15 09:16:00 Can I get an Amen?!? You all blessed the red-patent (p)leather shoes right off of me yesterday!! Your SUPER thoughtful comments were such a huge encouragement to me...God spoke to me through you. I'm actually now looking forward to this particular journey...OK, on to today...I wish I could record an hour of my morning sitting at the computer...because it actually involves very little sitting. If y Read more:Random
The Tough Stuff... 2008-05-14 08:40:00 The past couple of weeks I have been in the Repentance chapter of Seeking Him. *Sigh* Good, good stuff...too overwhelming (for my writing capabilities) to put into words. Through it though, God has been nudging my heart to do something it DOES NOT want to do...and I've decided to share it with you. I know I've got some praying ladies out there...and I'm SO gonna need them.I mentioned here that my Read more:Tough
