Something Fun

Since my mom-in-law was talking about toilet paper, I thought this would be a fun quiz for the day!! I am doing laundry today...nothing too exciting. Only 2 more days till camp. Will the excitement ever end??

People admire you for your emotional availability. And you don't mind if your friends need to unload on you every once in a while.

Dory is Dead!!

I killed her.

I didn't mean to, but I did.

It was quick. I am sure she felt nothing. Perhaps some pain from her unfortunate fall. She was just trying to be free. I am sure she didn't suffer.

I didn't even notice until this morning. By then the damage was already done. Poor girl didn't even stand a chance. (Of course, we don't really know if it was a girl or not!!)

Poor Dory.

There she lies in her final resting place because I cannot bring myself to do the inevitable. Once I do, it will cause questions and accusations that I am not prepared for. I have no experience. She was, after all, my first.

Poor Dory.

I guess I will do what needs to be done, as hard as it may be. But before I do, let us pause for a moment to remember the wonderful (if but too short) life of Dory...Dory the fish.

Times, They are a Changin'

I can feel it in the air this morning, as I drove my parents to the airport. It seems like there is a change in the air. I am not sure what it is, but it just feels like that today.

First of all, the women's newsletter came out with my poem in it. I picked up some copies last night. (Yours is going to be in the mail, Mom-in-law!) I am so happy to see myself in print, that it spurs me on to write more. I believe that God is trying to encourage me by this. I keep rereading my poem, amazed that I actually wrote it.

Secondly, my parents left for their last trip (hopefully) to Toronto. My dad will now go through 5 weeks of radiation treatment. (An hour per day - except weekends!) He is doing so much better and looks wonderful. You would never know that he had major surgery a few weeks ago. Aidan prayed last night that Grandpa would come back being able to lift and do more things. Kids are so cute and honest!!

Thirdly, I am going back on the sublist for September. I don't want to work too much, but a little bit would certainly help out with our household bills and such. Plus, I miss teaching. I think I need to get out and do something that I love doing. This all depends on how my dad is doing, because someone needs to watch the kidlets. That's why I don't want to work too much. My dad is really good with the kids, though and I would feel safest leaving them with someone I know. He raised me after all!! (And being on the sublist gives me freedom to choose where and when I want to work, as well as getting to spend quality time with my children!!)

Also, I have really started to enjoy blogging more, but using blogger. I copy and paste to my Yahoo! site, but I still really like blogger. It seems like Yahoo! 360 has become a wasteland these days. I feel bad for my mom-in-law who really likes Yahoo! and is missing all her friends. I still visit there, but most of my friends are blogging here....

With all of that, I guess it is easy to see why I feel like change is inevitable right now. Add in Emma beginning to walk on her own, and it seems like everything is going in a new direction. Although changes are not bad. And I know that God is in control of every situation. He cares for us. He has plans for us.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD...

Jeremiah 29:11-14a

That is encouraging!!
