Thanks for the link, I think. The I think is because I did just get back from Walmart... and even spent an hour in Lowe's "killing time" while I was waiting to meet up with someone. What did I do during that time? Scoured the store to see if there was anything I could possibly buy! Oi. At least I only left with some CLR and light bulbs... but I was on the search for something that was a complete waste of money. I hope that guy writes more on his blog... it was definitely much needed food for thought!

Well, that was timely. As I prepare to teach 20th century history to the boys, I've been doing a lot of reading, including the teachers' notes. (NO, I don't normally prep as much as I have this year, I just find it really fascinating-there really is nothing new under the sun.) The last two days it has been finding out what the Bible says about socialism vs. capitalism and balancing taking care of the orphans and widows.

I'm glad you enjoyed my post about cleaning. I think you were the only commenter who actually understood why I can't host home group. The post from that blog go to my Facebook Page (yes, I am that lame) so a bunch of my OLD friends from high school (even lamer) read it. The funniest thing is the agnostic was the only one who came close to understanding and she said, if you like teaching, just do it. I used to work for Merry Maids and I learned all kinds of deep cleaning tortures, er...punishments, er...techniques.

As for having two blogs...Well, I have thought about combing them. But then I could only have one cool blog design.

I haven't followed the link, yet, but I will. Eventually. Although, I, too, have some reluctance towards having to think or change anything right at the moment! ;)

I do feel very privileged that you commented, and even referred another. It's nice to know that there are more than 2 that actually read....now there's 4! ;)

Thanks for such a comment that allowed me the opportunity to "click" without guilt, but the truth is we all have room to step in a direction of more love for others and less for self. I enjoyed your friend's post, and some others he had there, as well. ;)

Happy birthday to all your babies! I-yi-yi, is right! I'm beginning to realize why large families often have 1 big bash a year. I'm leaning towards that myself!
