Summer Already? Whaaat!

On the way to school this morning my sons were chatting about it being the end of school. Summer is the best, but wow, it is here already? This summer will look a bit different for our family. I work now, so no slow down for me-- though it will be nice not to have 3 drop offs before work. My husband works from home, so he now has the joy of having everyone playing and laying about while he tries to work. I am trying to convince Nick that camp is fun, but he isn't hearing it.

Our two college age sons, have yet to secure employment for the summer, so their relaxing ways are already on hubby's nerves. I am considering a low handed tactic of changing the WiFi password, and the Netflix password daily until the boys are gainfully employed. Not nice, I know-- but I have already tried nice--- it's not working. They are good humans, but the job thing is a point of contention. So if anyone is in need of big strong boys to help move, do work around your house, or take care of your dogs-- they are available, and willing, :)

This weather isn't helping with the whole "It's Summer" vibe either. We still need sweaters, and socks in May! For goodness sakes, this is SoCal. It just doesn't feel like it is time for hot Summer days, and splashing in the pool. Yet the calendar keeps moving. School will be over. Video Game restrictions must be put into play, schedules created, calendars planned. I wish I was more excited. I normally love Summer, until the end of Summer, then I love school starting. Well, ready or not, it's coming. Batten down the hatches families.

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!

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 . ...

Believing isn't so hard

Why do I believe what I can't see? That is a valid question. I get it from well intentioned people just trying to understand our differences I guess. I'll try to answer as best as I can. The college years especially, are a time of exploration. We think in a less inhibited way. We behave in a less inhibited way. We ponder, and process, and get emotional about issues we think are important. It is definitely an important step in the process of maturing. I too, explored, pondered, got emotional, and was uninhibited. I remember especially being passionate about the right to a woman's choice. I never took the idea of abortion lightly. I held the hands of a few friends along the way, as they made that very difficult choice. I praise God that I was never faced with that decision, I am not sure what I would have done at that stage of my life. I would like to think I would have chosen life, but I can't say for sure. I don't believe that ab...
