Fruity Pebbles in My Shoes...

....tomato slice in the hallway....crayons in the car window. Ah, yes the life of a parent. When I was thinking of what to name this blog I remembered the time my sweet husband went to put on his dress shoes for church only to feel an odd squish. "Fruity pebbles in my shoes," he said. I thought about naming my blog that LOL. As for the tomato in the hallway, well, that happened this morning. No clue where that came from. And who hasn't had a crayon melt in the window or car seat?

I'm all for keeping the house a home but at times it catches up with all of us. Do what you can to keep it sanitary but don't fret too much if the little surprises happen. One of these days everything will stay where you left it and there will be no crayons or kid's cereal to be found in your cupboards. So today if you happen to slip your foot into your shoe only to be greeted by a squish try to see the humour in it. Although if you also have pets and it smells anything but fruity we'll all understand if you don't immediately laugh!

Have a blessed day! :)

  1. The "Fruity Pebbles in My Shoes" title is a good one. I am always finding something weird somewhere. And the mess is always ongoing. I swept and mopped last night, and then woke to find cheesy cracker crumbs everywhere from the kitchen, onto the table top, chairs, floor, and out throught the living room. Seems someone got hungry, raided the pantry, and left quite a bit of evidence. I'm suspecting the youngest child. I love your blog.

  2. Treany,
    Oh, I completely understand your pain LOL! I keep thinking our house is small enough I should be able to account for these little messes that pop up (and it's always right after you clean up, have you noticed?). Yet the little mysterious occurrences continue!
    Be blessed!!

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,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

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!
