Welcome to Our Home

On any given day, you can find:

crumbs (okay, maybe an entire piece of) food on the floor by our kitchen table.

a Lego in every room of our home.

daddy hiding doing a Sudoku puzzle.

mommy waiting for daddy to come out of hiding so she can grab her book and hide.

baby dolls and stuffed animals snuggled into make shift beds with their bottles.

mommy with one slipper on and asking Blake where the other is.

piles-to go to the basement, church, recycling center, a friend who might be able to use it, the library....you get the idea!

dancing.

a blanket on the couch.

dirty dishes in the sink and spilled out onto the counter.

a desk piled high of ideas!

Toby Mac CD blaring.

Blake closing opened drawers or cabinets after she fishes something out of them.

well worn AWANA books.

debt countdown cards.

wrestling with daddy.

Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars on the floor and couch.

laundry!

Mom at the computer typing away and seeing how truly blessed she is!

Debt countdown cards are just index cards with money we owe on each one. I need a visual. When the debt is paid, the card is flipped over backwards as paid and then we address the next card with the Dave Ramsey Snowball effect. I keep the paid ones beside the others so I can see progress. SLOW but progress!

I understand the *crumbs part*.
Thanks for stopping by my crumbs and praying for the family who lost their babies.

Pretty Woman

I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women (except for the business transactions.) Since My Dear husband loves teenagers, we have been invited to attend the local prom as chaperons . Finally, I have gotten my dream date to the prom and you know how I like to dance! I thought of how fun this will be. Then it hit me, as it does every girl going to the prom WHAT WILL I WEAR? Since being either pregnant or nursing a baby for about 8 years, I stopped buying dresses unless they are maternity. I have a couple of ' stylin ' friends- one is the size of my leg but the other is pregnant with baby #6. I knew she would have a variety of sizes as she has been blessed with 5 beautiful girls (yes, they are beautiful) and the transition that comes after each of their births. Sure enough, Missi shows up with a variety of sizes, styles and accessories! See, I am Julia Roberts, minus the you know what. Here is what I have learned or have been reminded of in this "Mama sized" dress...

Is this the lab?

I recall having to sign up for lecture and then the lab in college. You learn it in lecture and do it in lab. The labs were usually hours long and put an interesting (meaning not cool!) curve in your day. Yesterday, we had a sick one. Our kids are typically healthy but I am beginning to think it is through their illnesses that I learn. I better get it this time 'cause it is just not fair to the children that they are sick due to their hard headed momma! Sick children are needy and Man Cub was no different. I entertained Lydia with reading, playing a game and having school since she did not have Clay to keep her busy. Blake napped as normal and continues to experiment with the potty....still! This morning, I walked into the living room, one asleep on the couch and another asleep on the love seat neither of them interested in eating and especially not school. Now, 2 kids needing mama and another still experimenting! Meanwhile, my heart is heavy to do something...So many lives lost in...
