When you see something that isn’t God-glorifying in your world, do you do anything?
Do you…
Say anything?
Write anything?
Picket anything?
Speak up?
Speak out?
Where is the line between contending for the faith and being a nuisance?
About a month ago, I was over at Mckmama’s website, and noticed a “response” to a “topic” on her blogfrog. I’d NEVER been on [...]

Mommy guilt. There’s nothing like it. Try to explain mommy-guilt to a non-mommy, and they won’t get it. It’s just non-explainable.
And for you mommies saying you never experience mommy-guilt, you are foolin’ yourself. You do. Perhaps you’ve just learned to deal with it, or give into it, but you do experience it.
Last week, I had [...]

(Stairs at the hockey rink. I miss that place.)
I am NOT a resolution girl. I used to be. New Years was my very favorite (OOH! New Diet! New Goals! New Shiny Things!) But meh. Lately, not so much. See, I don’t want to break those “promises” to myself anymore, and that’s what always (inevitably) happened…
This [...]

I met the nicest woman yesterday.
I took the kids to a semi-local ice rink, and while they skated, I knit. A woman (Sue?–sorry I’m horrible with names…) sat next to me, asked me what I was making, and to Shannon’s chagrin, I promptly replied “I don’t know yet– I think it’s going to be a [...]

Paul said it best, and I couldn’t agree more…I am the foremost of all sinners. Yup, me. Mommy of 2, Wife of 1, and sinner, sinner, sinner. Yet, even as sinful as I am, He chooses to use me to glorify Him. Amazing. He is letting me, right now, see others through His eyes, [...]

I need my friends back.
I need some adults with ovaries in my house for coffee, STAT.
I need my two friends who could have taught me to crochet when I lived close by. Now I’ll have to either find someone HERE, or learn online.
Not nearly as fun.
I need a break from family, homeschool, the mister, and [...]

Apparently You have to make lists, and actually DO the stuff on the list.
Laundry doesn’t do itself. (!!!)
Neither does paying the bills, cleaning the bathroom, or homeschooling the kids (I have to admit, I’ve been all over that last one–maybe that’s why nothing else is getting done.)
So today, Muddled up and all, here’s my [...]

It’s that day.
Yup, the trucks arrived yesterday, and we’re loading up.
I’ll be back.
With more than enough stories to last a lifetime. About a grumpy Father In Law. And a bread recipe to make you LAUGH.
With Yarn Projects completed on the 29hour Trip.
With A new-found appreciation for NOT being in a truck.
On Dry–not–moving– Land.
With Actual [...]

Ever get that way?
I’ve had so many “posts” run around my head the past 6 weeks, and frankly, I can’t remember one right now. Now that I’ve got days to myself and nothing but time to blog (ha), I’ve got nothing.
Isn’t that the way it goes?
On my mind today has been contentment. Are you [...]
