Today is one of those days that without a great deal of prayer, I will
wind up being a fleshly mother (as well as a corpulent one!). I
will yell, get snitty, rush, and be irritated. We had planned a
nice, leisurely trip to Curwensville Friday morning. But, nice things
happened, so I had to change those plans. My dad called and invited
Nathan to go turkey and deer hunting with him this Friday and Saturday
and asked me to bring him halfway on Thursday night. Well, I thought, if I’m going halfway Thursday and all the way Friday to Curwensville, why not just go all the way on Thursday night?So, today is a day of cleaning, packing, cleaning, preparation, and
whining. Plus, I had irritating news for which I am going to
throw myself on the mercy of the Wilsons and ask them to temporarily
adopt Michael for the evening. Football practice, which is supposed to
always have all the boys at the same field, has changed. Michael is
here near our house and ends practice 30 minutes earlier while David
and Libby are in town. This might not sound like much, but I also
promised Nathan he could attend Scott F’s last home football game. Now
I’m just whining. James will feel bad since he’s in Georgia. I
hope he’s having fun! (I’m sincere. Why should both of us have to
hassle with these details?) Oh, for a boring life! (Hee hee)I, like kid, wish that Runts did count as fruit. I am constantly
saying, “What fruit did you eat today?” Sometimes I get the
answer, “I had cheese. That’s a fruit or vegetable, right?” Who
teaches these kids anyhow?I, like GAP girl, wish to eat an entire bag of chocolates today, maybe
more than one bag. But, Lord willing, I’ll be too busy with too
many children watching me to succumb to the real desire. Those five
bags of Halloween chocolate are calling my name….”Glutton! Glutton!
Come and eat us!”I hadn’t intended to read Northanger Abbey, but I was hooked after three pages. I’ve read it before, but I had forgotten how socially clever it was!
And, hello Tim! I didn’t even know you were a blogger! Who knows
who lurks in the shadowy recesses of the net reading my stuff…Well,
Becky for one, but she’s not so scary.

Tim has a habit of popping up where you least expect him. His pop ups are always welcome.
Are you trying to imply that Tim is scary?
Well, I’m just as surprised as you are… I had no idea that so many in my own church were bloggers, and I just discovered like ten of them last night!
(and I am fully conscious of the fact that I used the word “like” in the last paragraph. It was deliberately done…
Well, you could eat the chocolate and maybe you’d feel less stressed…what is it in chocolate that’s supposed to give you a pick-me-up? There’s something…
OR you could just pray that you won’t lose your mind. Honestly, I don’t know how you stay sane when you’re constantly being pulled in fifty different directions. I suppose you just gradually get used to becoming busier as your kids get involved in more activities.
Love the cheese comment…maybe you should review the food pyramid in November!
I agree with Dogg’s comment…there did seem to be an implication that Tim was scary. I noticed a comment that you made on kid6896′s site about how to attach a web counter. Go to somewhere like http://www.free-web-counters.net. Type in your xanga site address and go to step 2. Pick a counter and copy the html code that you get into your xanga site in the “Website Stats” box at the bottom of your “Look and feel” page. Save the changes and presto, you have a web counter.
Yeah! Thank you, Godfather. I knew where to get web counters; I just didn’t know where to put it in the Xanga thing.
We missed you folks in church today! Tell David that we missed him in sunday school too…
