New Beginnings

Humph....I guess that six month break broke my writing habit. 

Whatever.  We're going to pick up and move along.  Because every day is a new beginning, even if it's 21 days after a new beginning.  God's been reminding me "Every Morning is New.  Throw away yesterday's half completed list and let's start fresh."

The big boys are back at school, with some changes to teachers that were unexpected and hard, but have turned out to be good.  Quinn is fully 3 1/2 with all that means, the good and the bad.

Over the Christmas break we moved around beds and are now getting ready to build a wall and frame out a door to make another bedroom for Baby Girl, who should be coming in just about 10 weeks!

Speaking of that, how can 10 weeks feel like way not enough time to get everything done and yet and eternity away?  Time and pregnancy have a weird relationship. 

So that's where I am living.  Not always gracefully, but that's the whole thing right?  That He has compassion and new mercies for me everyday.

Wherever You Are...

Be all there.

So I feel like all I have to talk about is the fact that we are leaving in 4 weeks!  I mean, sure there is the fact that our water was off again today, and as soon as the water got turned back on around 5 pm, the electricity went out.  But really, I just keep thinking about the trip.

Ok, and we have a week off of school coming up for Holy Week (Semana Santa), and Forrest's 5th (What?!  When did that happened?) is Sunday.  And then there is the planning for Easter.  So I guess there is other stuff to talk about.  And did I ever tell you the story of The Rat?  I don't think I did!  But not tonight.  Maybe tomorrow.

And I know in just 29 days I can take a bath.  Yeah, I know, that is a bit lame.  But I have hit that point of this pregnancy.

So I guess I need to work a bit on being here for what time if left.  There are still 4 rules of Subjunctive I need to learn, 2 really big tests I need to get ready for, and all the other opportunities God might send our way in the next 29 days.

Ho Hum

I am feeling very behind on blogging and really have no desire to fill in the details from the last few days. Oh, they were fantastic days, with a good deal of non mommy time, just what I needed. But for some reason, what should be great fodder for posts isn't inspiring much in me. Oh well. Suffice it to say, the day shopping with some of the Women Who Keep Me Sane and the night out with two other couples were wonderful, restoring, and a whole lot of fun.

So, because I am lacking inspiration, again, seems I said that last time, I am going to leave you and go peruse the Internet for retractable banners.
