We will be leaving shortly to go to Topeka. My aunt has decided to go with Dialysis — and they will be transportating her to another hospital. She didn’t say it in so many words, but I know she doesn’t want to go through this alone. They are telling her that this […]

This & That
1. I am a list maker. Translation. I have to write it down so I don’t forget. I had a list made with a theme for this week’s TT. I also had a list made of things I wanted/needed to blog about. I’m putting […]

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one, which has been opened for […]

Wanting to follow in his mom’s footsteps, we are going to try the blogging thing again. Ethan has so much going on in his life, so much he could write about … we found a layout that he liked yesterday, and he wants to try his hand at blogging again.
Does THIS […]

Being stuck is setting goals but putting off doing anything to make them a reality.
Being stuck is wanting everything to be perfect before taking a step.
Being stuck is making promises to yourself, to God, or someone else and not keeping it.

Thursday we went to Topeka to pick up Ethan’s tux for the Barbershop show next month. We also needed communion bread for the church, and I wanted to pick up some special Easter bulletins (I normally use colored paper and clip art for the weekly bulletin front cover). So, a stop at the […]

Be very very afraid. My “baby” has now joined the ranks of millions and millions of drivers. He has his restricted license.
Now the fun begins.
Driving is a priviledge. Not a right. I think I am going to have that tatooed on my forehead, so he can […]

Hobbies & Interests
1. Crocheting. I have just recently picked up the hook and started crocheting again. I used to make afgans … or at least start them, and then lose interest before completing, and then my mom would usually finish them up for me. But I’m on […]

Amongst the anxiety and stress I am feeling with things going on in my life right now, this theme just spoke to me. I feel a sense of peace and calm when I look at it. I know I don’t have to justify anything to anyone, but the theme Leanne did for me […]

When Ethan first told me, I was livid. My aunt has made a few comments/remarks to me over the years, about my mom. And I have had to bite my tongue and just go on. This weekend was another one of those times. Although, out of this one, I have found […]

I wish (being able to get away). No, the time seems to be getting away from me again. These past few days, seem to have been centered around work and other comittments. I don’t like it when I feel overwhelmed like this. But, I have faith that it will […]

I haven’t faded away. Just overwhelmed with some time/work issues; and just some life stuff in general.
– Recap of weekend and yesterday entry will be posted before nightfall.
– Memory Monday almost done.
– Tasty Tuesday on the back burner, but have a subject in mind.

Due to time factors and work schedules, I wasn’t going to do an Monday Memory today. But. I received an email today from my aunt and uncle — the snow storm that was hitting them on this particular day brought back memories, and so they shared the memory with us (they have a […]

March Lesson: Due March 22
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had […]

Let’s say it’s 6:15 p.m. and you’re driving home (alone, of course) after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, […]

13 things to do when my aunt pushes my buttons. (*see previous entry)
1. Pray about it
2. Blog about it — to vent unheard by her ears, so less damage is done.
3. Do a Thursday 13 early to take my mind off of it

Where do I go to resign? At one time, I knew of a few family members that read my blog, and maybe I would be careful to what I am about to say. Or. Maybe not. Maybe those same family members do still follow along. And, I’m […]

Sunday was the official ground breaking for our new church — although, they actually began dirt work on February 27. Its really exciting to watch it progress, and know that, if all goes according to plan, we will be in our new building by September. Its been a long time coming, not […]

I don’t know if Lazy Daisy intended Tasty Tuesday to be a weekly thing; but this came in the church’s email last week, and so I copied it here and dated it for today for a “Tasty Tuesday” entry. I have read this before, but it always hits home and reminds me that I […]

I love my aunt. But. She exasperates me. She EXHAUSTS me. I know its not her fault; and we truly did enjoy the evening. But.
For starters, I didn’t feel good. My heart was doing its flip-flop thing most of the day, that “anxious” feeling. And not […]

We got a letter from the school not too long ago — about Driver’s Ed. It was just an informative letter, wanting us to sign our “young adult” up for Driver’s Ed this summer, plus to let us know there was a mandatory meeting next month we need to attend (well, duh…isn’t that what […]

Although, I’m not 100% I will ever adjust to them. We went to Emporia after work so the Optomistrist could cut the lenses for my frames. I didn’t get new frames, and I couldn’t go without them, so they couldn’t be “sent off” and we could do this all locally. […]
