Thinkin...

Well, I've been thinking that it's probably time to update the blog.  I've thought and thought about it, but no inspiration has struck.  I'm sure the kids have done some cute things I could tell about, but my brain is so tired, I just can't remember.  In fact, my brain is SO tired, I can hardly focus on anything.  So, here are some random things I've been thinking about lately (a rare glimpse into the scary place that is my mind):

*Pumpkins

*Old trucks

*work boots

*Why did Barack Obama win a Nobel Peace Prize?

*Hess and Lorene

*Sun tea

*When will it stop raining?

*What color should I paint the bathroom?

*the joy of giving

*how to give and receive grace

*the freedom that comes with forgiveness

*the swine flu vaccine

*the blessing of good friends

*the urge to get away

*the longing to stay home

*the miracle of God's provision

*spanx

*crunchy leaves

*why would anyone want to blast something into the moon?

*fresh tomatoes

*mason jars

*comfortable southern accents

*sad endings

*friends that are hurting

*How can such a little girl have such a big personality?

*Is it really necessary to have 57 screaming fits a day?  (I'll let  you decide if that's me or Ella having the fits!)

*the difficulty of letting go

*dishes and laundry

*health care

*banana pudding

*real cowboys

*early onset terrible twos

I could go on and on...but, a tiny dictator is screaming at me, so I must go now!
