Do you ever feel as though you are coming completely undone?  Has there been anything that occurred to make you feel like that while you were wholly committed to our Lord Jesus?  I’ll give pause to that, lol, what has happened lately while you are belonging to our God? Music always speaks to me… IContinue reading “Undone 5.31.20”

My son was playing store today and invited me (aka insisted) that I come as a customer to visit.  As I made my purchase, at first it was cash required.  Then, I was provided with two play credit cards and was promptly told to hand one over for payment.  What gives?  I just paid.  ThenContinue reading “Playing Games 5.27.20”

So, a few weeks back, my cat died.  He was a great cat, but also sometimes a jerk.  There was a whole span of time that he would wake me up at 5AM, demanding to be fed.  He did this by repeatedly smacking my face with his paw- no claws, just paw, but still (SecretContinue reading “Adopted 5.21.20”

Last night I had a dream that included a soundtrack.  Don’t judge.  They say Covid has made people have bizarre dreams, and for someone who was always a vivid dreamer, it has only intensified.  The song that stood out the most was Aerosmith’s “Dude Looks Like a Lady”, which, of course, only made me thinkContinue reading “Rainy Day Movie 5.20.20”

I have a great friend who is my go-to for sharing my “mom fails”.   She has a special way of making me feel like I am not the only one who has gone through those particular trials.  I shared one such thing this morning- my daughter had secretly cut her own hair.  She is six. Continue reading “Fails 5.13.20”

Sometimes, when you are right next to something it seems bigger than it is.  I was in my kitchen, looking out the window at my children playing outside when it happened.  Now let me preface with the fact that I don’t like bugs.  That said, there are only a few of them that completely freakContinue reading “Spiders 5.4.20”

“Ouch!”  I was making the bed and stubbed my toe on the corner of the frame.  Now those of you who know me well, are not at all surprised.  I think I may be the clumsiest person who ever walked this planet.  I have broken 2 fingers, one arm, and too many toes to count. Continue reading “Bruises 5.3.20”

There are so many things different with my day to day since Covid, but one nice thing is that I look out my windows more often.  I see the beautiful creation coming to bloom all around me, and thankfully it is from behind a window because I have allergies.  And, when all the beautiful itemsContinue reading “Birdseed 4.26.20”

So, this week I, as I’m sure others did , I received an email regarding the Paycheck Protection Program set in place due to Covid 19.  I was a bit surprised to read that, even though I qualified and was listed as “eligible”, my husband and I weren’t going to receive funding despite what aContinue reading “Second Class 4.22.20”

Routine?  Totally gone.  Bedtimes?  Null and void.  Cleaning?  Ahhhh, yes.  All the reasons for weekly cleaning such as a friend, family member, or the ultra-serious mother in law visit – no longer an issue.  Thanks, Covid 19.  But my toilet is dirty.  And because I’m not on my usual routine, I didn’t even realize howContinue reading “Toilets 4.18.20”
