As I'm sitting here contemplating my life, Phoebee is moving around in a not so comfortable way, Marlee is talking to herself and playing, and Shareen is still asleep.

Sleep would be nice. I don't think I'll ever get a real night of sleep again.

Phoebee will be here sometime at the end of August. We don't know exactly when yet. I'm not really ready for Phoebee to get here. I mean I am, but I'm not. Get it? Got it? Good.


Marlee loves the show Max & Ruby. Max & Ruby are brother/sister bunnies. The show is cute but it bothers me a little. I read that Max is suppose to be 4 yrs old. For a 4 year old, he doesn't talk very well. He talks more like a 1 1/2 yr old.  And if he's only 4, why is he allowed to do things like go to his grandmother's all by himself or carry boxes out to the street with no supervision? And where are the parents of these little bunnies? They seem to live alone and Ruby takes care of Max and everything else. She feeds him, bathes him and puts him to bed. Tries to teach him how to be kind and share. They take the bus across town by themselves. Who pays the bills? How do they have groceries? Ruby can't be more than 7 or 8. I wish there was some explanation for this...

Anyway, that's all I have time for now. Just some thoughts.

SATURDAY MORNING

Shareen's on the other computer, Caillou is on the tv, Marlee is glue sticking some scrap paper and Jeff is asleep in the recliner with my blanket (I told him about taking my blanket!) so I decided to blog.

We are going to Aldi today to grab some necessary groceries. I need diapers. I'm going to try to keep this week's grocery bill $40 or under. I'll let you know how that works out.

I am looking forward to the time when my friend Virginia says "ok, I'm ready to get our craft on"! She's going to help me out with a lovely thing that I want to make (see hers here ).

In an effort to revamp my blog, I've been getting inspiration from all over the web. I've added lots of new links to other blogs and sites that I hope you enjoy. I will try my best to always link back to the original site where I found ideas when I post them. I am hoping to be able to add more pictures soon, if I ever get another camera. I dropped and broke mine over a year ago and have just been using my cell phone camera since then. We all know cell phone camera pics aren't great! I want to add labels to my posts also, but then I get confused because, for example, how the heck would I lable this post?!?!

In the future, I hope to include more stuff about our homeschooling, crafts, books, food/recipes, etc. And definitely more pics!

Well, Marlee has long left the glue stick for less still activities, such as covering my left sleeve with stickers, so I shall leave the blog for now.

I will leave you with my goal for the day: Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.- Eph. 4:32 (NIV)
*Love is Kind - I pray today that God will remind me of His forgiveness and love and through His grace will help me to be kind and forgiving. I know He is here with me in every struggle.
