Making a life as a round peg avoiding square holes

I’m so tired that I…

This has been a crazy tiring few weeks. I was already exhausted from selling fireworks at my church’s fundraising stand when God blessed us with a new foster child. He’s an amazing child. He’s smiley, loves toys, and has a most contagious laugh. He eats, he plays. and he sleeps – sort of. It’s the “sort… Read More I’m so tired that I…

How much food do you have available?

My hubby and I are embroiled in a “discussion”. 😉 Yep, discussion. On how much food I like to keep available at any one time vs the available space in the kitchen. The food has rather taken over the kitchen, and even taken over part of the garage. I’m not one of those end-of-the-world preppers!… Read More How much food do you have available?

Growing Pains challenge – week 9 report

Next to last week completed – only one more to go! First thing – The gym. I injured my shoulder earlier in the week, so I focused on my legs for this workout. Now they’re sore! But it’s a good sore, the kind that means muscles are growing stronger. I like that. I’d hate to… Read More Growing Pains challenge – week 9 report

Growing Pains challenge – week 8 report

I must type this quickly to make my “I will post on Tuesday” deadline! First thing – The gym. I’m back to going twice a week. It’s good to finally feel healthy again! Even going twice to the gym can’t dampen my happiness about that. Second thing – I went to my Wednesday night class.… Read More Growing Pains challenge – week 8 report

Growing Pains challenge – week 7 report

Another successful week at doing things I don’t want to do. First thing – The gym. I was sick (still) this past week, but went to the gym once anyway. A shorter workout than normal, but still a workout. And I found a new stationary bicycle – a recumbant bicycle where my feet are at… Read More Growing Pains challenge – week 7 report

Growing Pains challenge – week 6 report

One more week down, and it was a success! First thing – I took over cleaning out the cats’ litter boxes. This has been a job my husband has done as long as we’ve been in this house, but for no reason other than I was glad to let him do it! But this quarter… Read More Growing Pains challenge – week 6 report

Growing Pains challenge – week 5 report

Whew! Another week in the bag. Speaking of bags I have a stuffy, sinus-y head cold I’d like to stuff in a bag and squash. Urgh! But thankfully it did not prevent me from completing my challenge this week, including the extra thing left over from last week. So again – whew! First thing – Working out!… Read More Growing Pains challenge – week 5 report

Growing Pains challenge – week 4 report

Right now I am doing something that I do not want to do. That I hate to do. That I’m only doing because of this challenge. But I do not get to count it for this challenge. Bleh! What I’m doing is admitting that I did not do one of my three things for this week. I only did… Read More Growing Pains challenge – week 4 report

Growing Pains challenge – week 2 report

For the next 10 weeks, I am going to do three things each week that I do not want to do. It is time for me to grow more as a person – as a wife – as a homemaker – as a child of God – as a person on this earth. There is… Read More Growing Pains challenge – week 2 report
