Welcome to My Blog!
Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for!
I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all!
This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here.
Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do!
Blessings!

The House Sitter
Posted in Due to Technical Difficulties Beyond Our Control. . .
Wasn't there a movie about a house sitter? I vaguely recall something like that, but whatever the drama was in that tale simply cannot compare to the drama we've had. Really. You think I'm probably overreacting, but please know that this is one of those things that just doesn't happen in real life. Right?
Come, listen to the tale, and then tell me what you think.
We are preparing for a trip. Some of you know we have several animals, a mini-zoo shall we say. Well, this complicates our trips every time. We know this. We have accepted it. (Well, most of us have accepted it.) We don't always have an easy time finding someone we trust to take care of the menagerie. And, sometimes people are a little intimidated by the thought.
Alas, we began the search some time ago. Most of our regular options weren't an option this time for various reasons, so we were charting new territory, breaking new "house sitter ground" in our search.
We found a lovely church staff friend who volunteered to do it for us. She, however, was very allergic. Honestly, she had encountered more than her normal share of dogs in that day, but I just couldn't get peace about her being able to breathe . . . or not.
Our second choice was fabulous. She's a young girl, a daughter of a close friend. She came to visit, and it seemed she would be great with the whole process of feeding and such. No problems. The dogs even liked her. All was well . . . until she was struck by a terrible virus which landed her in the hospital two days ago. Last night, the call was made. No go.
I was prepared to stay home. Really, I was just resigned to the fact that God was communicating something. I was starting to take it personally. :'P As a last-ditch attempt on the whole thing, I asked one of the guys at church if he knew anyone, and he pointed to another guy. Well, I know this guy's family, so that was a conversation to have with him. He's agreed!
He's coming over tonight to get a feel for the lay of the land. Barring any unforeseen instances (puking, plague, personal injury), I believe we have our house sitter!
You just can't make this stuff up! I promise you. I can't write that well!
