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.

Look at that pretty girl! I look forward to seeing you in December!
Oh girl - the books - one of them was "Elizabeth and Larry" - my Elizabeth snapped it up and started trying to sound out words. Who knew that a book with her name in it would be what would trigger more of an interest? :) THANK YOU again!
okay...if you are taking suggestions, I say skip the parenting so that you will have more time for blogging... he he he!! I miss your posts! How are you? Hope things are great!

BTW, you can be the aunt this time and maybe you can be an uncle next time...okay? Seriously we are not finding out. I am thinking on the theme and I think I should have it decided by the end of this week...I will keep you posted...how is mama lou?
