Looking Back

Thank you for your kind comments concerning my first video blog. And if you missed me making fun of myself, see here.

Taking a vacation the week before school begins, has me all discombobulated. I was forced to face the fact that all my children are out of elementary school now. With two in middle school and one in high school, testosterone HAS been running rapid around here.   S  I  G  H I sure miss the baby baby stage……except for the up all night, oh and the poopy diapers, and the loud crying for no reason-no matter what you do.  Besides that, I miss the baby baby stage.  I miss the smell after bath time, or a huge belly laugh, or cooing and smiling.  Think manly man will let me start over again?  Yeah me neither, I think he is looking to forward to retirement. Oh wait what was I talking about, sorry began day dreaming there… oh yeah teenagers.

Don’t get me wrong I am enjoying each stage of all my boys life (well maybe I am anxiously waiting for maturity to hit my 8th grader a bit, but that is to be expected).  Anyways along with the joys are also challenges.   Trying to keep them fed is a challenge but compound that with a son who is participating in cross country and runs a minimum of 2 to 7 miles after school, my food bill is soaring to new heights. Oldest son even had the gull to come home and tell me that his running coach said I was not feeding him enough.

I said, really??? Did the coach see you devour 7 slices of pizza the other night, or 3 pieces of chicken the night before, not to mention the bag of cookies that only lasted 2 days?? YiYiYiYi  Anyways, change of subject.

I had a wonderful evening Wed night teaching Kathy Howard’s bible study “Before His Throne.” There were some technical difficulties on my part, oh and the fact that I showed up to my own bible study with no…BIBLE, but besides these snags we have a wonderful group. I am so excited to see how God will move in these next nine weeks.

Have a wonderful weekend and I would love to read how your week went.  Did “back to school” go smoothly for you?  Also I have a question about video blogging on my community page that I would love your thoughts on.

Here are some great reads for this weekend:

I loved reading this post about contentment.

I have to say I am tossing around an idea of re-thinking how I do Facebook.

This looks yummy, linking so I can come back and make these.

Off to meet a new blogger friend in real life. I am excited, but nervous.

    Lori- Have fun getting together with another blogger friend. I applied for the CWO directory after linking to Noelle. Did you see that she loves Sedona? I checked out all the links. You are so helpful. I had read Melissa's post on contentment which I loved. Thanks for the link about Facebook. I have lots of "friends" that I don't know at all. Hmm ...maybe I need to check this out further. And the muffins look good. But I am so glad that your first Bible study group went well on Wednesday!!! I can't believe you forgot your Bible girl. LOL. But I'm sure it got a laugh which loosens everyone up. After all, we're not perfect ...yet. Love you, Debbie
