Talk-to-Myself-Tuesday, 8-10-10

My family tells me I talk to myself...

I prefer to think of it as "thinking outloud!"

Either way, here's what I've been saying...

- Trying to be patient. Why do we never really learn that lesson?

(At the time this blog is being written -Tues AM- we still

have not heard a response regarding the offer we made on

a house.)

- Deciding what I want & then telling God & "claiming" it

can get me what I want, but it can very quickly become a

nightmare instead of a dream. I really one want GOD's plan.

- Thankful that my TMJ is effectively treated by my wonderful

dentist and that the pain doesn't bother me if I wear the

"mouth piece" at night.

- My kids have been saying the funniest stuff lately... and I mean

ALL of my kids, not just the little ones!

(More about that in Thursday's post)

- Coupons grow addictive. Which isn't bad until you start buying

things you don't need just cuz they're on sale & you have coupon.

- Spray paint & pretty colors (not neutrals) have been calling my

name. So far I haven't answered... but the voice grows louder.

- Our realtor probably thinks we're kinda crazy.

- Books. Reading. Really want to do that... someday!

- I should be planning homeschool for the fall. I'm not... yet.

- Looking to others for advice & input is good. But we cannot

pattern our lives exactly after someone else's life. Look to JESUS!

- I like change.

- Our current address is the longest I've had one address in my adult life...

5 yrs. Before this the record was 3 1/2 yrs.

- Whenever I go to the basement for laundry I take a garbage bag

with me to clean out a small storage area.

- The back of my suburban has a giant tub & 2 bags of things to be

donated...

that tub has been driving around w/me for two weeks.

Kinda wish someone would just steal it outa the back!
