Mama's Pearls of Wisdom

You know, as a mother I am sometimes amazed at the words I hear coming out of my mouth. I decided it is high time I started jotting down these wonderful little moments. You know the ones.

"It's gonna stick that way!"

or

"You put what up your nose?!!!"

And yes we really had that experience one time which ended FlowerChild up in the ER no less...she decided to break off a piece of wood from our wicker bench and shove it up there! All's well that ends well. She finally started sneezing several hours later as we were STILL in the waiting area and it popped out. We got a lot of curious stares as we all hollered with joy and relief!

Well, today's little pearl is a true keeper. Once again, out of sheer coincidence it involves FlowerChild. Homeschooling provides many treasured moments of opportunity. Ready?

"FlowerChild! [insert real name here] STOP playing with your belly button and do your math! I promise you the answer will NOT be found there!"

Oh, the blessings of children!

    Oh it scared us to death at the time! She was probably around 4 when it happened, old enough to know better LOL. Now we can laugh about it but the wicker has been moved outside! Now the belly button thing...that was yesterday! Gotta love that child, she keeps things lively!

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!

Power Bills

We lucked out last month on our power bill. We received a credit on our bill which helped tremendously. A lot of folks were shocked at how high their bills were, however. I can't blame them! Some of the figures I heard were outrageous! $500-600, one even $1200! One thing that got me was that many of these people work outside the home and their children are in school or daycare so the house stands empty all day. Not only that, but their families are much smaller so things like the washer, dryer, or stove would not be used as frequently. Shouldn't their bill be lower than ours? I think it has everyone trying to come up with ways to save on power. There are some things that are a given. Good insulation and windows go a long way towards helping lower a bill. When we first moved into our home the windows were very old. Some were cracked or even broken. The church eventually replaced them which was a huge blessing! But what were we to do in the meantime? Well, one way is to buy th...
