Random Thoughts on A Wednesday Night

Yes, I am overwhelmingly busy, to the point where certain things (school, mostly) have to suffer slightly to make room for everything. It's been a looong time since I had this much on my mind and on my plate. That makes me cranky, and I don't like to write about it. I am just not into being that vulnerable in front of everybody. So here are some random nice things to keep you all reading my blog.



While Boo and I were doing dishes, the other night, he informed me that he could say the alphabet backwards. Why would a five year old wish to do such a thing, you may wonder? Where would he even get such a weird idea? I don't know. But he did it, and only needed help at like five spots. For a random endeavour, I thought that was pretty amazing. It is actually amazing how much unschool a sheltered, healthy child can pick up. By the way, he and Olivia are both having so much fun with the word thingydoodle they got from Nana for Boo's birthday. I made Boo some word lists and he puts them in to see what they are. It thrills us all.



Even though I'm not yet sure if I'll be yard gardening or container gardening this summer, I couldn't help ordering some seeds. Seeds make me happy. Who would have ever thought this geek girl would be so deeply thrilled by the idea of growing vegetables out of the ground? But gardening makes me feel so good, even though I truly am a black thumb. Lee makes fun of me for having such poor turnout, but he always buys me seeds again the next year. I guess that proves how happy it makes me.



Livvy is driving Nan crazy by beating up on her big brother (sigh) and jumping on the couch. At home she is not much trouble. Stubborn, yes, and we have an issue with her taking food out of the kitchen that needs to be nipped in the bud. But she and Nan just PUSH each other's buttons. It's funny because then at the end of the night she bawls for a hug and kiss from Nan, and Nan always gives it to her.



For anyone that hasn't seen me recently, I am now officially Huge. Oh, but I don't have gestational diabetes, so that is good news. I do have an iron deficiency, but I seem to always have that. Must remember to pick up iron pills.



Liv and Lij have also really enjoyed playing the the Aquadoodle they received from Michelle. Surely a mom must have invented that because it is a perfect toy. Everything hooks on, so there's no excuse for losing anything, and the worse thing they can do is spill a little water. What a joy.



Sorry about the lack of pictures. I just need new batteries for my camera.



Julius is still happy, hyper, and healthy. Sometimes I get out my Mobywrap and wear a bear next to my heart. Just for practice. It makes Lee rolls his eyes but again makes me happy. Must put batteries in the camera and post a picture of livvy in my wrap. Now that is precious - Livvy wearing a teddy bear. Well, you just have to see it to get it.



Please keep me in your prayers. I am overwhelmed right now, but holding on to His promises. I am drinking up Philippians right now. How amazing is this:

4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!
5
Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near.
6
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.
7
Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

The rest of the book is just as good.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom. Again.
