Word of the Day

Maybe I'm a bit behind the times...

Glocal is a new word I've learned to day. I am not sure I like it. I understand what it means... but still, it looks like a typo to me.

Slacker!

I've been slacking, I know... I won't get into all the excuses. It would take all day for me to type it out!


So, I'll just post this quick note to say a few things that I have been reminded of lately... in no particular order. Just as they come to me. I'm sure I'll be interrupted at least 6 times before I finish this post.

1. My husband is a treasure to me. I love him more than I ever have before...

2. My children are pretty much just like me... which is not always a good thing.

3. God is good. (that should be NUMBER 1, but if I stop to change it, I might not finish the post.)

4. Organic coffee tastes so much better than regular. (Sam's Club had some on clearance because it had Christmas berries on the packaging. It's Item #3346 if you care to go find out if your club has some left. It is not marked as clearance, but it is only $2.81 for a box of 24 individual packages which make a 10-12 cup pot of coffee.)

Here is the link to my store, which may or may not work for you since I had to log in- Sam's Club - Marques de Paiva Organic Coffee

5. Life is too short for some people. I grew up playing with this "kid" in Montana. He will always be a little boy to me since I haven't seen him but once since he grew up.

6. Friendship is a necessary part of life.

7. The laundry will never be done.

Anna Nicole Smith

Her death hasn't made any difference in the day-to-day routine of my life. But, I do catch myself thinking of it occasionally. Something about her life was wrong, more likely numerous "somethings" were wrong. Could someone have helped? Was she beyond help? Why do I care, anyway?

Tony Woodlief makes a good point in his blog post on the subject. It's good. Read it.

Anna Nicole Smith was no different than any other lost soul in the eyes of our Savior. Did any one ever tell her about the Hope and Living Water that is Jesus? I wonder... Do I know anyone who is thirsty?

" Jesus said, ' the water that I shall give will be an inner spring always welling up for eternal life.' " John 4:14

A little wine...

Last Friday night, I had mentioned to a church friend that the wine at communion was so sweet to me. I asked her what kind it is, so that I might go and get some. She happened to have a bottle, rather a JUG, of the same kind. She said it was just taking up space in her fridge and that I was welcome to have it all.

Woo Hoo!

Now anyone who knows me, knows that I am not a regular drinker. But, I went right home and poured myself a good sized glass of the sweet, cold, red wine. (Marty thinks I'm strange for liking it cold, but I love it that way. I've even been known to put ice in it.)

I enjoyed a glass of that wine for the next four nights. Yes, four. And I am so thankful I did.

Why am I telling you all of this??

I think that sweet jug of wine is the reason I didn't get sick like the rest of the family. If you have read Marty's blog, you'd know that last Friday was the beginning of the stomach virus that went like wide fire through our house. Since I was the one doing the main clean up duty, you might think I would be the next one to get it.

Not so.

I had one day when I was really cold & I've had many days of feeling exhausted, but I never got anything bad.

So, tonight is the official night that no one is sick in our house... I think I'll go have another glass of wine for good measure.


"No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments. "

Flying soup makes girl sick

I need sleep.

But I can't because if Sarah throws up while we are both sleeping, it might be too messy...

Maybe I can just sleep on the love seat...

My wonderful mother-in-law is picking up the oldest 2 from school so that I don't have to pack up the sick kids. She's an angel...
