The Mattress Is Coming! The Mattress Is Coming!Yes, indeed, the new mattress arrives tomorrow (Friday). Did you know that today is the 231st anniversary of Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death” speech? In keeping with the Revolutionary War theme, I alluded to someone else in my title.
Today wasn’t our best day of school, but it was just because we were too rushed. I suppose that’s what happens when the whole family sleeps in… Did anyone say Proverbs 6:9?
I was quite thrilled last night to have a call from rjdohner. She had just received our housewarming gift in the mail and called to thank me. Although they laughed initially, they actually like the photo I took for their new home.
Tonight was play practice for Shouting Valley. It seems to be coming along better every time we rehearse, which is the point of rehearsals, is it not? With only four practices left before the dress rehearsal, I probably ought to panic, but I won’t. It’s just too much fun to worry over. But, doing this play has given me some good rules for being a director/producer of plays.
1. Pick a well-written script.
2. Choose a play with action. Every play ought to have a sword fight in it.
3. Start practices in November or December.They aren’t worthy to add to my list of life maximums, but they are close. Would you like to know my life maximums, the rules I live by? No? Sorry. Here they are anyhow.
1. A woman should be soft, smooth, and smell good. (Hence the use of lotion, razor, and perfume.)
2. Never pass up the opportunity to potty.
3. Every Christmas should have a weapon and/or a baby doll among the gifts.
4. Treat yourself often. It makes life pleasant.Um. I guess that’s it. (Facetious grin)

I LOVE the picture, eveytime I see it I smile. Not just because it was a creative and thoughtful gift from our dear friends, or because I was able to use a gift card to purchase a living room end table to display it on, but also because of the story behind it. Now, I know we as Christians are not suppose to compete against our spouses, and normally I don’t. However, the story as to why Rob is now “the hand” makes me feel good to know “Mr. I check everything five times to make sure it’s correct”, can make mistakes too!
Thanks for your heartwarming comment. I think your maxims for life are funny. I guess I should work on #1 and #4. When the pressure is on, those two go out the window.
I agree that one and four are hard for me to maintain. (Four is harder than one!!! One’s not too bad!) Also, I don’t think I have ever done three. No weapons have been given at any of our Christmases — lots of dolls, but no weapons. Since Juke is now one, we do a lot of toy vehicles, though.
I think the 2nd one is the most important one to live by.
I have been wondering how to spell facetious, but was too lazy to look it up. Thanks. Treat yourself how? Good play maxims. Happy sleeping.
