I'm Spinning....

in the homemaker category this week.  
 I have two kids who had fever this week.  
One kid broke a thumb and had to go through deep worry 
because broken bones are HUGE for a ten year old.
One kid got glasses for the first time.  
One kid had stacks of homework all week, not
because of laziness but because he's a highschooler.
My laundry pile is huge.  The clean pile and the dirty pile.
The family has been sorting through the piles to find clothes this week.
I took the kids to the library this week and "had" to look through them 
to approve them.  Hehe!  I can never put a book down.  It's a problem.
I baked a batch of bread mixed in my 20 quart mixer...which means bread for days.
I baked a quad batch of whoopie pies.
I used my crock pot this week.
On Wednesday I collected the stuff from the yard from our party on Saturday.
I took the kids out to eat at Pizza Hut one evening
 because my kitchen was clean and the man who matters most to us wasn't home.
I took two kids to Hobbytown USA for an excuse to go.  
I could enjoy myself at that store for a very long time without their assistance. 
I also took two kids to starbucks and they didn't care about it....but my flat white was good.
I haven't done my walk all week.
It rained yesterday and I had just spent long minutes at the car wash splashing my face and glasses in the process. 
I have taken time to see the beautiful fall colors.  
Yesterday Jeanie apologized to me for being grumpy and added on her own free will that she was sorry for "fitting".  Which is the same as saying she threw a fit.  
She's also been talking about all the farmers tractoring in the fields.  
Because they are combining so are they not also tractoring?
I got to take one picnic to the field during harvest this season, 
and Matt was able to spend a few hours in the harvest field with the boys. 
That was a gift. 
And there were a million other moments.

Whew, a quadruple batch of Whoopie pies?! You are Wonder Woman! That is one big cast for a thumb. Looks cool, Keagan! Love the little Jeanie snippets. And the light in her eyes on that pic with the glasses. So much life happening every week... we spin and spin and try not to fall down from the dizziness.

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
