Feelings Meme…kind of explains where I am at.

And if you were my Mom you would say, “you are between the ‘a’ and the ‘t’, don’t end a sentence in a preposition… (see Mom I did listen sometimes).


I saw this Meme on Living To Tell The Story, and feelings are what I have been ‘feeling’ a lot of lately, so I thought I would give this a try.

Feelings meme:

Reluctant to pack my youngest son because he leaves Monday and I won’t see him for three weeks. He is going early to Minnesota, we don’t leave until the end of the month.

Excited that hubby and I are having a date night tonight.

Worried about my oldest son’s behavior lately.

Relieved that today is Friday and the last day of school.

Wondering if high school will be better than middle school for my oldest son.

Certain that my youngest son will have a great time with Grandma and Grandpa while he is away.

Cautious about eating to much sugar, it gives me a headache.

Happy that I got my house cleaned today, and all I have to finish up is laundry tomorrow. (oh yeah and pack my son, see I am ignoring that fact =)

Love all my three boys and the man I married.

Adore my new niece. If I am honest I adore ALL my nieces.

Grateful for wonderful sisters I have in my life, either by birth, by marriage or even by Christian friendship. The Lord has blessed me.

Have a wonderful weekend. I will be ignoring the fact I need to pack my son and having a nice time out with hubby.

Let me know if you do this Meme…

A tag because I am brain dead…

Because tomorrow is the last day of spring break, I won’t share how I feel about that. dancing

And I am basically brain dead and lack original thought, I saw this tag on my friend Amy’s site and thought I would jump in.





I have to tell you 6 unimportant things about myself:

1. I have not had a soda in over a month. The gasps you just heard is my family on the other side of the US…but it is true I swear. I also only have one small cup of coffee in the morning. Now if you knew what a caffeine lover I was, your eyes would be bugging from amazement. Lets see how long I can keep it up. I am trying to eat healthy.

2. I read a book a week. Yes I am the writer of Book Buzz, but really if I wasn’t I STILL would read a book a week. I LOVE READING. By the way have you read the reviews for April?

3. I have begun only eating sprouted bread (Ezekiel 4:9 bread) or spelt bread.

4. I am already looking forward to running away this summer to Minnesota to do some bass fishing. Ok, I don’t really bass fish (but I have to say I look mighty cute with my pink fishing pole I bought last year), instead I read and enjoy the beautiful handy work of God. This year I am hoping to get matching pink waders. My motto is, “if I have to fish I might as well look cute doing it!” And I know all the boys will leave my stuff alone, because really what man/boy wants to be seen with a pink rod. Photobucket

5. My oldest is TWO months away from being called a HIGH SCHOOLER. People I don’t look old enough to HAVE a HIGH SCHOOLER. In fact when I was purchasing his birthday cake for his birthday last month, the cashier (an older lady) blurted out, “Girl you look WICKED young to have a 14 year old.” I was at first flattered, but as I walked away I wondered if I should tell her I was in my 20′s when he was born. Also my son’s basketball coach always calls me my son’s “sister.” Yep, he is the Casanova.

6. My middle son is running away to the beach all day tomorrow, yep I am jealous. I think when he returns I will tell him of our adventures of eating cake and ice cream all day…..do you think he will fall for it?

Writing out 6 unimportant things took longer and more thought than I had. I learned two things: yep I am boring and I am wordy!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

I am catching up on a tag from too long ago…

Angie at The Knightly News tagged be back in January. Sorry it has taken me so long Angie

The rules for this meme are:

(1) Link to the person that tagged you.

(2) Post the rules on your blog.

(3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. (check)

(4) Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.

(5) Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

Angie knows I am weird but now she wants me to publicly admit it =)

1) I can not STAND people hugging me when they are sweaty. My Dad use to always tease me, by pretending to give me a hug after working in the yard, now my boys like to do it to me after a sporting event they have just played in…. YUCK!

2) I am a piler; mail I stack, books I stack, homework I stack. My house sometimes looks like little stacks everywhere. Most of the time I can find what I am looking for, but not always. “It’s in the pile honey,” I always say.

3) I can eat peanut butter from the jar.

4) I love to dance when no one is looking, or with my little nieces. (they don’t laugh)

5) I am excited to be on a designers creative team. She designs digital scrapbook items and I get to use her items to make layouts. It is my new addiction, besides reading, blogging, photography, raising kids, feeding a husband, cleaning house… ok you get the point I over load myself. But I think it is my ADD and type A personality =))

6) Ok last but not least, I like to rebel. You say one thing I do another. For instance, the rules say to tag others…..but I am not =) But if you want to join in let me know.

Well there you have it weird Laurel in a nutshell.
