Weather threw my morning into a Wonk!

This post is going to make most of my East Coast friends chuckle. All of the tough, die-hard, boot wearing, snow blowing, ice melting, wood burning, friends, can have a good laugh at your West Coast friends. Yeah, we were out here enjoying our sunshine and warm weather while you all were wrangling with your generators and stock piling toilet paper and wine, so I guess we deserve it.  So the past few days we have gotten a little rain.  For most of us it is very welcome.  We love the sound of rain on the roof.  Our sad looking plants are drinking it up. The wildlife is very glad for the repreive from drought. But rain also brings a few comical-- and some not so comical consequences. Let me set the scene in my house for you this morning.

-- Wow, honey it's really pouring outside! The boys don't know how to drive in this stuff. I don't want them out there with all of the maniacs, you have to drive them to school.

-- Mom!! Do we have any umbrellas? ----  ummmm, somewhere, ugh, I don't know. Uh, I guess we don't.

--Mom!! What shoes should I wear, my sneakers are going to get all wet!!------ don't you have some kind of hiking boots or something?--------- yeah, from 2 years ago, they don't fit!


-- Mom!! I need a jacket!! Me too! Me too! Me too! Me Too! Will my letterman jacket shrink in the rain??      ---------  Honey, where did you put all the coats??? The attic??? Ugh......


Good times.  We were completely unprepared for this little rain.  I know we have umbrellas, somewhere.  I believe we have rain coats, don't know where though.  Boots, now that, yeah, I don't think we have those.  So everyone is getting wet today. They will probably get really wet.  One thing I do remember about growing up in Pennsylvania though, is that a big cup of hot chocolate can fix almost anything, so I'll be ready!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

I believe

I believe....... That marriage is a lifetime gig That it is up to us to take care of those in need, through families, churches, relationships, etc... That family is serious business, parenthood is a gift, a treasure, something to take dead dog serious. That I have a right, and a responsibility to protect my family and those who can't protect themselves, from would be criminals, and anyone else who is attempting to infringe on our rights as stated in our constitution. I believe that without faith in God, and a conscious decision to submit to him, people are lost in a pool of ever changing self centered nonsense, and are subject to what ever the politically correct, hip, educated mantra of the year is. Stuff is awesome, shiny cars, flashy jewels, exotic vacations, are all delightful--- for a little while--then when the shiny wears off, and the financial impact starts hurting--- the result is damage to the most important thing--- family, and submission to God. I bel...
