this is why i took so long

i was always thinking this would take up so much of my time...well let's see. it is not quite noon yet and what have i done? well, i did take mapboy to school today. he has a summer birthday so his teacher so kindly assigned may days for them to celebrate. so since i had to drive him instead of put him on the bus, princess and i went on to the church to work on vbs. then home again. i checked my email, felt the pressure from my dear cousin, and sat at the computer for the next 90 minutes. oops...i forgot i have to pick mapboy up. grap princess and off we run! thankfully we live just 2 minutes from school. get back home. too excited to see if it worked..so log on again and here i sit. another 45 minutes has passed and i'm still playing around with it. never mind that the dishes need put away, the laundry started, my kids are beggin for lunch, princess just watched 3 episodes of dora, the dog wants inside, and hubby will walk in the door in about 5 minutes to have lunch....

i love it all!!!!!!!!

Right there with ya, Back Door! I've already ignored dessert with the kids, bedtime while Daddy read to the little ones, and the morning news. I gave up MATT LAUER to play with my new blog. I NEVER thought I'd do that in a million years. Welcome to the crazy world, from another newbie like you :)

Now if we could just find a way to make some money blogging---then our husbands wouldn't mind us spending 1 or 3 or 8 hours a day "tending" to our blogs.


I just keep telling him that my blog is my "mission field." That usually works unless he doesn't have any clean underwear.

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
