Month: January 2009

I love bullet points, don't y'all? Too bad. Live with it.:: There is only one thing that is really bothering me about the impending anniversary of my birth. The need to have a pair of reading glasses tucked into my shirt collar, in every room, in every purse or bag I might be carrying (or [...]

I have always allowed stress to creep in and take control of my life. My health. My thoughts. My eating.I have been feeling so crummy lately. After my quiet time this morning I had to get down on the floor, face down...we have a lovely rug in the living room where I happened to do [...]

Jill and I were going through withdrawal so we start David, 90 Days with a Heart Like His. We finished up 90 Days with the One and Only a week or so ago. The Esther study has not been as homework intensive as past Bethie studies, so we both felt we could handle the extra [...]

Thankfully, it was nothing serious. But it totally threw me and I have yet, at 5:12pm to get back on track!I was up early this morning, quiet time with God, working on Esther has propelled me out of bed every morning this week.

It's Monday and I am already running late this week. Not a good way to start the week, but I had no sleep last night.

Wow.That's pretty much my description for the past few days.It all started two weeks ago. Due to my age and certain fluctuations in hormones, I would say I probably have one good week a month. This has been true for awhile now. That one good week I'm usually pretty even-keel emotionally, spiritually and physically. The [...]

I am feeling so much better now that I have this job done! There are still some books in the house that need to be gone through (kids' rooms) but we have done that within the last year so I'm pretty confident not much will change.Here are a couple of before pics:Please note the orange [...]

My husband has decreed the next four days...painting the kitchen days. And also touching up what needs to be touched up since we last painted (you know...two years ago) and painting things that never got painted when last we painted like the trim and all the doors in the hallway upstairs.I'm not complaining...oh, Lory Be, [...]
