Proverbs 26:17

Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own.              Proverbs 26:17

Kids Say the Funniest Things

Posted in Family Life
Here's the situation:  We're sitting in church with our youngest two children.  The older two have gone down to the children's service.  I'm sitting holding W and M is sitting with her dad who just happens to not be sucking in his gut like he normally is.  The church is quiet and we are about to pray.  M whispers loudly while patting his tummy:  "Is there a baby girl in there?"  DH quickly shushes her and shushes me who is about to laugh out loud hysterically!!!  I don't know who else heard, but I was sure that I heard a couple snickers from the seats nearby!  Gotta love the 3 year old!

Just something I received as an email forward . . .

The 'L I T T L E' things


As you might know, the head of a company survived  9/11 because his
son started kindergarten.


Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.


One woman was late because her
alarm clock didn't go off in time.


One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
because of an auto accident.

One of them
missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.


One's
car wouldn't start.

One went back to
answer the telephone.

One had a
child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.

One couldn't
get a taxi.

T
he one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot.  He stopped at a drugstore ! to buy a Band-Aid.

That is why he is alive today.


Now when I am
stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone...
all the little things that annoy me.  I think to myself, this is exactly where
God wants me to be at this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be
going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys,you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated; God is at wor k watching over you.

May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose.


Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like.  There is NO LUCK attached.  If you delete this, it's okay:

God's Love Is Not Dependent On
E-Mail !!  (that's the cool part)  AMEN


God bless you and yours!

Book It On Friday!

Again, we haven't been reading a lot.

Here's a list:

Say AHHHH.  Dora goes to the Doctor.
Clifford The Big Red Dog
How Many? How Much?: Timothy Goes To School Learning Book #2

. . . . and we looked through some books about bees for our bee unit.

I've been reading, slowly, The Hidden Art of Homemaking.  I think I finished chapter 6.  And I've been reading my The Old Schoolhouse magazine.

Proverbs 25:24

Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.                Proverbs 25:24

Update on the new schedule

Posted in Family Life
It's working great!!!!  The kids love how we are all working together.  They love the five finger thing, which I have to get mounted on colored paper and laminated so they can touch them.  They are getting their stuff done with little complaint.  And DH has noticed a difference already!  The house isn't perfect but we are maintaining the main areas.  I've moved from washing laundry every day to washing every other.  We're making time for schooling.  I'm getting the rest that I need.  I'm preparing better meals and at decent hours.  I'm getting up earlier to read my Bible a little and just to get a head start on the day before the kids wake or at least while they are doing their 5 morning jobs.  And that emptying the dishwasher each morning is helping me sooooo much!  I guess I should let them know that.

Anyway, just wanted to give an update on how it's going.
