Random Thoughts

Madison's two front teeth are loose!

We own a baby grand piano.  Baby doesn't mean small, well in comparison to other grander pianos.  This is not a new item in our home just one that is big.  Anyway...

Nathan says things wrong which is hilarious or he says stuff you just don't expect like "mmmm this is dewishious (delicious)."  Always good for a laugh.  

Alexandra is in the 95 percentile for her weight and height.  The Dr. said if this rate of growth continues she could be taller than Mark, he is 6 feet tall. 

Changes in Latitude,  changes in attitude nothing remains quite the same. That is all I have to say about that.  

Christmas cards are NOT keeping my mind off things.  

Alex is going to have to get a job to buy food.  She must say to me 10 times a day " I'm hungry." I will write down everything she eats tomorrow and blog it for you.  Prepare to be amazed. 

I want a craft room.  Mark's Aunt and Uncle are coming over tomorrow for dinner and I have to clean up the Christmas card workshop.  One reason I wish for a craft room and that darn CK magazine I get every month.  When will that subscription expire?  The devil must be paying for my renewal.

It is almost Thanksgiving and people are calling about Christmas ideas?  When did November start?  What year is it? What day is it? Everyone might be getting a homemade Christmas card for a present at this rate.  

The economy stinks (as if you didn't know).  If you get a monthly statement for 401k or IRA just leave it in the envelope and file it away.  No need to look.  Trust me!  I told Mark last month just file next month in the drawer and he opened it.  Then I had to hear about it.  I told him not to look.  Last month was hard for me and then he had to go and tell me about this month.  LONG TERM. We retire in about 30 years.  That sounds bad too.  Okay next...

My mom is moving to Jacksonville in two weeks.  Yeah, not sure how I will handle it but I seem to be fine for now except for the chest pain. Did someone say stress?  This topic is even worse than the economy. Moving on...

Ha! That is funny, moving on.  That is all I have to say about that too.

Your random thoughts looks and sounds like my "to-do list." I was getting so anxious over all I had to do the other day that I had to put it on paper just so that I could manage what was going on in my head!

"Normal"

Psalms 62:8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge . This past year has been something else to say the least. From October to October, okay not quite a year but WOWSER! Didn't see that freight train coming. I have to reflect. I have been reading my blog entries going back to October of last year. Part of me can believe it has been a year since all this started and part of me feel like it was forever ago. Daily I have to turn my cares over to the Lord, carry my cross and trust with a faith that can move mountains. Recap~ October 2008 ~ The company Mark is contracting for is a pool company and is really feeling the effects of the economy and crisis and has to cut back. Mark was not the first to go but his time is up the first week of October. November 2008 ~ hint of a job in Raleigh NC. The person hiring has to wait until January to see if they get a contract or not. Very surprised at the lack of jobs in the Tampa area...

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

NaNoWriMo & Peeps

peeps pēps/ noun  informal people (often used to refer to a person's friends or associates). "thanks for the feedback, peeps!" If you choose to do NaNoWriMo you have got to explain to the ones you love and cherish what you are doing in November. The more warnings the better. I told my husband a year before I started NaNoWriMo that I wanted to   do a month writing challange and explained the details. I didn’t talk about it all year but once October came around I started to talk more about NaNoWriMo. I talked about it so much my second year that my kids wanted to do NaNoWriMo too.   It was fun to do some writing prep with my kids.   My oldest has already set a goal for this year.  If you have kids you should check out the  Young Writers Program .  They can set word goals. I like encouraging my kids to write with me. It might even help me justify writing on Saturday and Sunday when I have a kid or two a...
