Random Happenings

I heard something new today. Now my Northern readers will probably laugh at this but my fellow Southerners will most likely say, "Hmmp, never heard of that" just like we did. Have you heard of an 'ice shove' (and that is a long 'o' not shuv the way we would read it)? Well, the winds up north blow the ice from the lakes and form something akin to a snowdrift but it is ice. They had 20 ft ice shoves up in Wisconsin today. It was amazing to see!

And in other news, if you hear a strange, random beeping noise that you can not locate here is what you do.
First: confirm with the children with you that there was a beep. That way you know you aren't crazy.
Next: Look around to see if there may be an unknown smoke detector. Then: Draw others into it. See if they hear the strange noise. Look all over the room.
(just as a strictly hypothetical example we will say this is a church. And we'll just say it is after church when everyone is visiting.) So look all over the sanctuary.
Now: If you still do not locate it everyone will get curious and start looking. They may even split up into groups and search the other rooms.
Still no luck? Ok, now get anyone who is still there to come inside from the hypothetical churchyard. Everyone stand very still. Be very, very quiet. Now...wait for it...shh...there! Did you hear it? The beep!
At which point, your wonderful husband will remind you that your cell phone is in your diaper bag....on your hip.....and it is going dead. DUH!

The moral of the story? Never think that confirming something with a 6 year old FlowerChild proves you aren't crazy!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!

Baby Steps

Hope you've had a good day today. We have been having some lovely autumn weather at our house! Yet I still have the urge to get the Christmas decorations out. Normally I am one of those people who likes to get Thanksgiving completed before moving on into the Christmas festivities. But there is just something about this year that has me ready to get all of the holidays going and squeeze out all the wonder. So my house now has icicle lights hung 3/4 of the way across the front. It's a small start but still an official start! I can't wait for the holiday cooking shows on Food network and the Christmas romantic comedy movies to begin. We also did a little rearranging today along with some cleaning out. I am going through the children's things and doing away with broken toys or the things that just don't interest them. I still have a ways to go until I can check "satisfied" or "completed" on my mental list. But still, like the Christmas lights, I can ...
