Self Service
Haven't been posting here lately. My time on LJ has been spent checking into communities and posting comments on my friends page. The work on my heart continues. The situation is looking up as far as the relationship between me and the former object of my resentment is concerned. I'm not Catholic, but it sure would be nice to get "absolution."

Ouch!
When I pray, I always ask to be led in God's will by the Holy Spirit. My will gets in my way, though, and He often needs to "hit me over the head" to get me to follow. I got a real whack the other day. I started this year building strong spiritual habits that were actually beginning to bear fruit by spring. Then it all seemed to skid to a halt. I ( Read more... ) -
I Need Hairapy
Why is it that the best hair days happen right after making an appointment with your stylist?

On the Stick/Off the Hook
This morning I went to the weekly gathering of POGO (Parents Of Growing Ones), a wonderful group of moms at my church. Each of us has at least one infant, toddler, or preschooler and most stay home with them at least part-time. We're studying a book called If Mama Goes South, We're All Going With Her, by Lindsey O'Connor this summer. This week's ( Read more... ) -
Home Is Where The Heart Is
A group of SAHMs from my church is going to Rochester, MN for the NC Regional Hearts-at-Home Conference in October. I've tried to get a group together every year since I attended the 2003 National Conference with my SIL in Bloomington, IL. But I am the world's worst salesperson and wound up going by myself in '05 and just giving up in '04 and '06 ( Read more... ) -

You're Soaking In It
Recent posts by banzai and sillypilgrim have led me to a Palmolive epiphany- I AM soaking in it. Thing is, I am so priviliged and blessed that I haven't been looking at what "it" is. I keep whining and moaning about this and that, all the "crises" in my life when all the while I am surrounded by the deepest love, forgiveness and grace. What an ungrateful, spoiled ( Read more... ) -
Shiny Sink
Now I'm finally doing it- shining my sink! One side is soaking now and then I'll do the other. It's raining here so I'm letting ds watch a video while I flip through my control journal, check out the new stuff on www.flylady.net and get my sink nice and shiny. As long as I take babysteps and don't let dh (he has SHE tendencies, too, including ( Read more... ) -
Reprieve
Turns out my MIL & FIL won't be coming to visit this weekend after all. Dh will bring Pie & Cakes home himself after the kayak trip ends in his hometown. Now, I still want to get the house in better shape. But now it will be for me and my family and I can go at a reasonable pace instead of major crisis cleaning. Hallelujah!
