CeasingPosts here will cease until I am recovered from my morning sickness or until my baby has arrived.1:38 PM - May. 12, 2008 - comments {1} - post commentHere's a biggieOne of the main reasons I wanted a blog away from the blog was to have a place to keep track of things I am working on for me. Like....
I am sure there are much more but hey, it is Saturday evening. I am about to go crash for the evening. I have been tired the past couple of afternoons and evenings. (Jane, I am not trying to tell you all something at this time I leave you with Titus 2: 12 "Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;" I have to find my baby steps and get back on step with my home. I pray that my journey will be encouraging to some one. Life is a struggle but we must remember to "count it all joy". Join with me? 11:22 PM - Apr. 12, 2008 - comments {3} - post commentOn my mind todayToday, I am thinking about the whole blog experience. Why do I blog? Blogging is a great way to connect to those of like interests. I have learned alot and made some great friends. I honestly like blogging because it is take it or leave it thing. If I am unable to blog, it can go a few days with out me. I personally am not looking to gain any great blogging accomplishments. Just as in my real life I enjoy a few friends around, I do not need the whole blogsphere reading here. I read blogs that announce a departure or time away from the blog world. I think as with all things that blogging should be kept in perspective, it should be a thing of balance. If it cannot be controlled then, steps must be taken to contol it or completely leave it alone. Yes, spending time visiting around to others is much more fun than attending to our own needs at home. But, what matters is what will stand for all time and eternity. What matters is what we are doing with the minutes and hours of our day in our home. I think especially those of us who are homeschooling we need to be wise stewards of the time we have each day, to use it wisely, to make a difference in our children's lives. Are we raising up a generation that will take a stand? Are we feeding them with the Word of God? Are we teaching them to study to show them selves approved? Or are we like the woman of folly described in Proverbs 9:13-15? I try to "weigh" each blog I read,especially those away from hsb which I read via bloglines, to make sure it is something that is worth my time. Are the blogs I read pure, lovely, just, of good report, is there any virtue? If it takes my time it should be something that I can learn from, either spiritually or educationally. Sure my other blog doesn't always give a spiritual message, it is more of a share with family and real life friends what is going on in our home. Could I post this over there, yes, but I choose to keep these things seperate because I do not want to take their time on things they already know about me. They know me, they know where I stand and why I stand. So, this is my blog for me and that is the place for sharing the daily info. 7:29 PM - Apr. 11, 2008 - comments {1} - post commentGlad that is overI am up and going this morning! I am thrilled, I am moving slower than normal but I am moving. I do not know what hit me but it hit hard. I am now very sympathetic to those with joint pain. One up side, I lost at least five pounds. I guess that happens when you do not eat for almost two days, I did eat a little yesterday afternoon. But, my appetite is so different now. I woke up craving eggs with onion and spinach. Really sounds yucky to me but it was good.Maybe this is a good change for me, I need to lose a few pounds, well, more than a few. One thing, it started snowing here yesterday, actually, we woke up Saturday to high winds, it was quite odd. I am looking forward to walking out of doors again, not sure when that will happen. I must get going and begin reclaiming this house before it gets any worse. It hasn't had my touch for two days and it shows!1:41 PM - Apr. 7, 2008 - comments {3} - post commentSaturdayWow, what a wierd day yesterday. I am completely amazed, did I have a better immune system than my girls? What did we have? They were all pukey and I was just plain old achy. I am a little better although I have spent about enough time on the computer as my headache that was beginning to lessen is now getting worse again. I had such a good Thursday and Friday with cleaning up and getting the house in order. I was looking forward to a clean house on Saturday and Sunday. Now, oh, my, it is a mess. Tomorrow. I will take care of it tomorrow.9:23 PM - Apr. 6, 2008 - comments {0} - post commentBetterI am feeling much better. I think it was a little dehydration and a little hunger combined. One of those classic cases of Mom taking care of Mom last. I have had a great week and have kept the water intake up and the food has been regular and healthy. I will get in the habit of posting here more regularly eventually. I have posted about 4 posts at my public blog today.5:43 PM - Apr. 4, 2008 - comments {1} - post commentWhat is wrong with me?Last week it was a head cold so I chose to take it easy and let it "take its course". The weekend was low key with lots of rest. Sunday was well, church day, not much rest there but a low key day just as well. Around 12:15pm I was hanging my husband's clean church clothes in the closet and all the sudden I became overwhelmed with dizziness. There is no explaination for this. I had not eaten much this morning. But, I had eaten a piece of fruit and drank some water already. I immediately heated up lunch and ate and drank more. After eating I rested for about 30 minutes on the couch. I am just going to watch myself this afternoon. I had a huge plan to accomplishing much today with having testing the rest of the week.6:22 PM - Mar. 31, 2008 - comments {2} - post commentA new placeIt is so funny that I seem to need a place to post free from family and "people who know me". I guess this can be my secret garden, so to speak. I have so many posts moving around in my head that have no home at my other home. In fact, I am not even going to keep a friends list here at first. Some times I just need to speak without worrying about what family may say or think. This is definitely not a complaining or soapbox blog in the making but just a place for me to be me and possibly get a few things off of my chest. Actually, I have never enjoyed people "knowing" my business. I never kept a diary growing up and was very self conscience about writing things that others might read. I even threw away my senior memories book. I know that is wierd.

) I think my body is slowly recovering from last weekends illness. I still have little appetite and have only eaten chocolate twice in the past 8 days. I normally eat some chocolate every day. There is no desire and I am happy for this!
