Nothing beats computertime...

Five year old dear son made a proclamation yesterday.

"MOM! I could live without my computertime."

"You could? How?"

"Duplos, Mom. They are just as fun as computertime."



This dear son got banned from computertime for a week....so I am glad to know he will, indeed we ALL will, live.

Blogs

I found a new blog today...The Concordian Sisters of Perpetual Parturition.

Perpetual Parturition? Forever birthing babies. (Yes, I had to look up "parturition" in the dictionary...)

Good for me? Yes, good for me. I am pretty sure they share my confession as well!

There is also a post from a pastor/father of soon-to-be 10 that I read today that made my day. While we have never met, my dd (child #3) and his ds (also child #3) are good friends and have arranged for our families to meet and become friends before or after SOLA next July. It is always a blessing to find that others share your same concerns/struggles/blessings..and I am looking forward to the day when we can all meet in person...hopefully before Heaven.

Preparations

Being the last Sunday in the church year, it is time to prepare for the celebration of Advent. Click here for a link to a downloadable Advent devotion book from Higher Things.

A Few More Firsts

Well, dd#3 is officially on her way to Texas!

It is her first time away from home without family members. It is her first time flying and her first time visiting the (supposedly) most awesome state in the Union.


This is the daughter who would not leave my side until she was about 5. This is the daughter who would give folks dirty looks if they spoke to her when she didn't want them to. She has really grown up. She was very nervous to make this trip, but insisted I make her go so she could face her fear and have no regrets.

I am proud of her and KNOW she will have a BLAST!!!

Tomorrow

I cannot wait until the election is over. No more tv, radio and newspaper ads, no more phone calls to interrupt my day and no more hype. There will be actual NEWS on the 24 hour news networks!

We will have our traditional election day party complete with the coloring-in of the states as they are called for R/red or D/blue with the adjoining electoral vote tally.

In our county 48% of the registered voters have already voted! We will vote tomorrow...and pray that we can accept God's will for our nation.
