It seems that I can be good at blogging or parenting, but not both. I just can't seem to find the time. So much for tons of free time with the kids in school. I have about 6 precious hours to myself and so far have done nothing fun. I can't even find time to cut my own toenails much less have a pedicure. I am working one day a week and rest is filled with delivering meals, Bible study, projects at home, and selling on ebay (my new part time job). I don't know what time Oprah comes on and I'm not sure what a bon-bon actually taste like. Brian is working in Charlotte Mon-Sat so that leaves lots of taxi service to tend to. I am counting the days until football is over.
We celebrated Shelby's birthday this weekend while Brian was home. She has wanted this huge green chair since she saw one at a friends house months ago. I've had everyone looking for one and a friend came through a few weeks ago. I should have known they were at the mall... the one place I won't go (or Wal-Mart). I'm trying to break the record for the longest time a woman can avoid the mall. So far it's been over a year for the mall and 7 months for Wal-Mart. I'm a much happier person for it too.
Anyhow, here is a picture of Shelby with her big green chair. She wants to sleep in it tonight. That won't last long.
I am doing a precept Bible study on the sermon on the mount. It is so great, something I needed a long time ago. It has really made me look at lots of things differently. Don't expect me to become a nice person, that will only happen when the pod people come. I do hope to be a little more patient though. A little compassion would be earth-shattering. Humbleness would be quite a change but seems a little boring. I'd just settle for a constant reminder of who I represent... that would take care of it all. Brian says I'll get there someday... when I have dementia and the opposite personality takes over. See? there's always something to look forward to!
Love you guys and I plan on seeing you at Christmas.
