~~~UPDATED TO ADD THIS PHOTO:~~~The Man is even in on it.I'm so glad that Spring Break is almost over. And I can have me some major Travis time. It appears that Rock Band and Guitar Hero III don't include any Travis songs. Shocking!

Wallowing in the Darkness
Remember this? I've so been wallowing in it.I'm not really sure why. I get the impression that God just sorta sat back and watched me to see what I would do. I know He was still with me. All I had to do was call. But I had no desire to call.I thought about the [...]
How to Get Your Husband to Paint the House…
So my Man is suddenly very anxious to get working on painting the interior of our home.Thanks to the new subdivision going up down the road. The one I made us all stop in and check out on the way home from church Sunday. The same one I haven't stopped talking about.The blue tape is [...]
I’m Still Here.
It is Spring Break around here. The Man and I still have to work, but the darlings are off. It's made me very sleepy. I slept until 9:00 this morning. I never sleep until 9:00. I never sleep until 7:00. It's been nice getting some sleep (shhh...don't tell Russell...he still has to get up at [...]
Procrastinating Pondering These and Many More Questions.
1. Do you prefer grape JELLY or grape JAM? I prefer Jam. My family prefers jelly. And even though I rarely eat said jam, we usually have jam and not jelly in the house. One of the perks of buying the groceries.2. Why do boys make competitions out of everything. If one person in our [...]
It’s 6:00am on A Saturday as I Write This…
And the house is hopping. There are boys everywhere. Of all shapes and sizes and ages.Today is Paintball Day.They've been preparing for weeks. This is bigger (and just as expensive) as The Prom.Cell phones are chirping and ringing...the universal "are you awake...we're getting ready to head out...you're still coming, right" calls and tm's (text messages [...]
Pretending Not to Hear.
While polishing silver this morning, I...what? You don't polish your silver every morning???Me, either.But when I am stressed, or upset, I clean. And not just the small jobs. When my last grandparent, my beloved Mamie, passed away several years ago, I could not leave this house to head to Roanoke until I had taken every [...]
It’s Ugly Here in This Girl Land.
My family wants to defect.Frankly, I can't blame them. There are moments in time the past couple of days that I would have packed their bags to help them on their way.This is what happens when I get sick. People want to help me. I hate that. I want to be sick ALONE. Just bring [...]
Hey Mom! Look What I’m Doing!
My mom tried to teach me to knit awhile back. To help me relax. It was the most frustrating thing I have ever tried to do.I've gone back and tried a number of times. Still so frustrating. And then I remembered...I used to crochet. I think I liked it. So during my self-imposed illness-induced rest...I've [...]
Coming Quickly on the Heels of Light, there is always Darkness.
If I have gotten anything from Beth Moore, it is this...the enemy will ALWAYS strike after a close walk with God.I can't believe I wasn't prepared for it.God tried to prepare me for it. Tried to warn me. I felt the urge to be in my bible all day yesterday...into the evening. And I just [...]
