I sit here and browse through so many other blogs and know that I need to steal away a couple of hours to fiddle with all the techy stuff. For those of you who have taken the time to comment on my little space: Thank you! I will try to add to my friends, etc. I feel like a horrible pen-pal! DH is leaving on a three-week trip starting Sunday. That will leave Jack (8) and Hannah (18) and me (don't ask!). He broke his collar bone and is still hoping to get through the math teacher training. In some ways I'm not sure how we will cope without him...and yet, for that past two weeks he's been laid up and we've been handling the yard work, pool maintenance, etc. Maybe this was God's way of preparing us!! Poor hubby is so suffering from cabin fever...he's a bit of a bear (as we all are lately) and the time with new people and a chance to feel productive again will be good for him and us. I struggle with my own discipline issues: there is SO much I want to do each day and I never get to the "good" stuff (crafts with Jack, baking, reading, devotions, etc.) It looks like I really do need a daily schedule and I need to stick to it. Too often I find a small burst of energy after Jack's in bed so I tackle a chore (laundry, dusting, vacuuming: 2 u's or 2 m's?) instead of pulling out my crochet and listen to music or a watch a favorite DVD (The Quiet Man, Best Years of our Lives, Seasons of the Heart) in order to rejuveniate myself. My mom ALWAYS finished her day's work by dinner time. The evenings after we all were in bed were her time. I can still hear the sound of the ice in a glass, the 'pop' of the lid off the RC Cola bottle, the fizz as she poured it in the glass and the tinkle of the ice. We rarely were allowed soda (Saturday nights with hamburgers) and this was mom's special treat for herself. I've learned so much from my mom...guess I better practice this lesson: take care of your spirit so you can take care of others. Love you mom!
