Rambly Scrambly

It is a dark, gray morning in this corner of my world today. I am feeling a little gray myself- missing my girl, bad hair day, still wanting to crawl back in bed, etc. I may not be a morning person, but I usually tackle the morning as head on as possible, but today seems a bit harder for some reason... My homeschooler is counting his money, which I consider to be a self directed math activity, so I thought I would come say HI to you instead.

I miss the days when we were all on here, and I got lots of comments and conversation amongst all my blogging buddies. Life is busy and everchanging, and some aren't blogging anymore, some, like me, don't have as much time, etc. Sometimes I have moments where I wonder if I have just gotten boring and too whiny! Anyhoo, see there is my hormones showing through. It just hit me right now what is going on- DUH! Let's see if you are a little faster than I was: I ate a huge chocolate "aspirin" from a friend two days ago- in bed at 11 pm, I bought 2 chocolate bars in the last three days, I tear up when I see moms and daughters together, I tear up at almost everything, it was really hard to get up this morning as I feel so tired....HELLO- you would think I would clue to my cycle after all these years! Can I just say that despite the above sad sob story, I am so thankful for the wonderful friends I have met on here and still keep contact with!@

The Skipper has been taking our camera to work lately, so I am left camera-less. I didn't know how much I used it until I didn't have it! It is great for homeschooling, as I snap lots of pics to show different activities and learning outcomes accomplished. I hope to get a new one with our airmiles. I better do that soon as my new, sweet, fat little nephew is coming to visit in a month.

Just to have a point here and to redirect my attitude, here are 3 things that I am thankful for today:

- the egg omelet I about to make myself (I suppose it was unnecessary to tell you that I was making an EGG omelet, wasn't it??? see, my self amusing sense of humour is coming back already!)

- no soccer, no hockey, no Bible study to rush to tonight....aaahhh. I think I will throw something in the crock pot soon- a nice unhurried dinner sounds lovely right now.

- children who love to PLAY. I am in awe of my boys, who get out of bed and get straight down to their business of playing. Don't you wish you had the energy to get out of bed and build robots first thing in the morning???

Tell me something you are liking about your day so far...

The sun is shining (I should've done laundry and hung it out, but I didn't...).
The trees are pretty.
It's 1:16 and I haven't had lunch yet - no wonder I'm hungry.
We have to be at church early tonight, and I'm wondering if I'll get all my shopping done before I'll have to be there, which means I'd better take along extra clothes for hubs and myself just in case neither of us makes it home.
I hope to score tons of great deals today!!!!!
I'm going to eat a piece of Angel Food Cake with my lunch - whatever that is, I don't know yet - since I made one yesterday and it's just begging to be eaten.

First....I love your quirky heart. Life has gotten a bit flipped around...and I don't find myself here as often but that is o.k.
When I am here I can concentrate on the few oldies but goodies...and just be myself without feeling I have to entertain to keep readers.
So it is good girl!
I have had a sick on the last four days...today she went back to school so I got out and ran some errands and visited my friend Elayne. It was a sweet visit...we encouraged each other in the Lord...so I left remembering how dearly our Father cares for us. In the beauty of the changing leaves I see His hand...the same hand that holds my tears and fears....yours too. He sees our heart...and He loves us so dearly.
After I got some shampoo for my gray hair.....I went and did some painting with hubby to earn a little extra money. God provides!
And then we took a bit of that money and went and got hamburgers. We actually have a restaurant here that still has car hops...which was nice since I had paint from head to toe. And then I came home and decided to check on my girls. So there you have it....my day in all its glory.
I love ya girl...and if in my daily out and about I think of you so far away....then how much more does He think of you? You know He keeps track of all those hairs on your head....even on a bad hair day. ;)
One thing that has helped me with the missing of my son...we text. Many times it is not long...but I can let him know he is on my mind and that these arms miss him. Can you text with your girl? It might be something to think about.

Wow.....that was a letter...guess I had something to say. :)

His Girl said...

I'm liking this part of my day... seeing that you're still out there... I am so sorry it's being so rough a patch for you currently, but I do have to say you're not alone.

i miss ya, sis. glad to hear your humor's coming back. :)

I feel the same about blogging lately - no time to read, no time to blog! I'm "catching up" tonight. Hence the numerous comments from me on different posts!

What do I like about life right now? My oldest daughter is almost as big as me - I'm wearing HER new sweater right now. Extra clothes for me! My husband and I are getting along great at this moment (but probably won't be much longer if I don't get off the computer). We are finally settling in here in Colorado. And, most importantly, I'm getting more time with God in prayer lately. MUCH needed and it makes a HUGE difference!
