because you care....

my apologies to the few of you that i have kept waiting for so long...dear friend has been bugging me to blog. i think it might be because i was on her case...regardless, here goes....

no meaning to this blog whatsoever!

...i'm cold! it is crazy cold on the home front. i'm bundled up and dug out my slippers. i've added the flannel sheets and have even dug out my hat. i realize i really need some new slippers and never did knit the hat to match my scarf. maybe i'll start tonight.

...we had popcorn earlier this week. it was yummy, but i popped in great abundance. so tonight i melted my white chocolate and added some craisins and peanuts to the popcorn and stirred it all together. super yummy and half the popcorn gone.

...hubby has a birthday this weekend. he is such and incredible husband, daddy, and man. i love him deeply and look forward to celebrating his life.

...we are approaching 11 years of amazing marriage!

...i let princess paint my nails last night. she did a different color on each hand. there is a lot of bare nail and painted skin. however, i have no more fingernail polish remover. i'm thinking of trying to just add the darker color and see how that looks. i have not painted my fingers in about 5 years!

...i looked for dresses today. i'm going to a wedding next weekend. i wanted a decent fall/winter dress. they must not make dresses anymore!

...i bought my daughter her first christmas present. we try to stick to 3 presents and then i like to give jammies on christmas eve. i'm tired of buying junk...i love this idea and might give it a try this year.

...princess told me she was in love tonight!!! umm.......thankfully it is only a love affair with strawberry milk!

...fall is my favorite time of the year!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
