I woke up the morning of my birthday and my loving husband asked me how it felt to be old (he has not yet hit 30 and likes to make fun of me). I think that I am looking forward to my 30’s feeling mature and all that. To me it is just an age and I don’t feel like I’m older so I don’t know. I don’t even care when P makes fun of me being 30. It was an uneventful and nice day. I got to go and visit a friend and the kids got to play and enjoy being out for the day. We came home and my daughter made supper for me, microwave popcorn (the only thing she is allowed to make). It was very nice. When P got home from work we went out for burgers and drinks.

I finished Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss today. It was a good book not the type that I normally read but I enjoyed it all the same. It made me do a lot of thinking about how I live my life in Christ. I may just have to read it again in the future I will definitely be adding it to Alex’s reading list when she is in high school.
I am not sure what I will read next but will let you all know when I do. I know that there is a new book in the Elm Creek Quilters series and that Jodi Picoult has a new one out too (I have really enjoyed reading her books lately). I may also look into a few about organization and homeschooling but am unsure at the moment.

It is my birthday. More about being 30 later

My husband and I have been very blessed with two healthy happy children. God has also given us enough to provide more than enough for our family. So, with his blessing, have decided to start to give back using my talents and passion that the Lord has given me. I am going to start making quilts for Project Linus. I chose this after thinking very hard about what I wanted to give and I just feel that this is what God is saying would be good for me.

Mondays can make me scream. I don’t know what it is but life here is so stressful on Mondays. School is the worst everything is a fight and it takes us twice as long to do even though we have less stuff to do. I really don’t like Mondays. Today it was not wanting to do her English and then we got mad because Peter had to go to work. He goes to work every Monday so I don’t get it. Maybe we need to start doing school 7 days a week instead of 5 but I would like her to have some days without school work and seeing we don’t have a summer vacation I think 7 days would be to much.
I don’t know what to do. Hopefully the day will get better.
