Removing toys from the nose of a toddler....

Good Morning friends. I hope your week is off to a tremendous start. As always, lots to accomplish this week, right? Well my number one priority is finding a way to remove the air soft BB from my four year olds sinus cavity. He stuffed it up there good. We have tried saline, inducing sneezing (he loved that), good old fashioned nose blowing, and it is still lodged up there. My husband reminds me that a few months back Nick sneezed out a booger covered Lego (we didn't even know it was up there), so to relax. I am leaning toward a visit to the pediatrician. Poor kid. The same afternoon that he shoved the BB up his nose, he also created some lovely art with sharpie on my wall. I am grateful it wasn't worse to be honest. Before we know it all of the small toys lying about will have been devoured by our new goat (I mean puppy), so Nick will be out of danger. It's all good. I am processing a lot this week. As usual my brain is on overdrive, my body in slow motion. I truly have a lot to do, so I need to be inspired to ACTION, ACTION, ACTION! this week. Pray for idleness to stay far, far, away from me if you wouldn't mind. I appreciate your prayers. Go forward friends! Be productive! Have an incredible week!

Quiet days of Summer- Ha!! Lol....

Summer is a wonderful time if you have the luxury to stay home with your kids and enjoy the slower pace.  Lazy days, pool time, reading, outings, and spending time at the beach is good for the soul.  If you are a parent who keeps your kids home with you vs. sending them to camp--- there is also a dark side to the lazy days of Summer. I know many Moms who say loud and proud, "I can't wait till Summer!! Oh yeah! Only 3 more weeks!!, Oh no! It's over already! We need a few more weeks!!" Are you one of those? Do you say it with a straight face? Ok, maybe you are sincere.  Bully for you, you win the Mom medal. Those are NOT my people.  I love my kids, don't get me wrong, I really do.  I love reading time, and lego time, and swimming, and picnics at the beach-- as much as any other Mom.  Let's get real for a minute though.  We can't play down the other side of life with kids. The constant fighting The whining The meltdowns (yes one of our guys st...

New season of renewal & refinement

I am a girl with strong faith.  Strong, blind, childlike faith.  My atheist friends are bewildered by it.  They cannot understand how such a smart woman would believe such "nonsense".  I have no explanation other than, I just do. I preface this post with that statement because, you won't find me quoting scripture here.  Though I would if I were more confident in my ability to do so competently.  I do not have that confidence, never have.  I am a believer.  My belief has been nurtured by life experience, by answered prayers, by constant evidence that God cares about me.  I see his hand in big things and small. I look to him for guidance and help in all things.  I am not a Biblical scholar.  I have always been somewhat insecure about that.  I am bolstered up by the words of a Godly woman much wiser than I who assures me that "I am living my walk out loud".  My faith is not in my knowledge of the scripture, but in the...

To get something good, first we have to tolerate chaos.

I am swirling in chaos! Our little remodeling projects, ie: painting the boys rooms, have resulted in a whirl of mess, mess, mess. My husband has been diligently painting walls, repurposing furniture, meanwhile all of the clothing, shoes, toys, junk, furniture we are no longer using, etc... is lining the hallways and rooms of my house! We have tried to engage the boys in this project, but it has somehow eluded them that they have any responsibility for putting the house back together, so it it a painful exercise of command and whine. Today, we must put it back, we cannot start the week in madness. So my day, is going to be interesting. They need to help, a lot. I need to figure out how to motivate them to help, without them feeling like they are being tortured. Wish me luck, at 10:30, video games, and NFL TV go off, and cleaning commences. I'd better have another cup of coffee, and pray for the next half hour, I'm gonna need it.
