...why I go in and out of blogging kicks, sometimes I have so much to say. Sometimes I have not much to say. And sometimes, like now, I have so much to say, but not the time, energy, eloquence, or patience to say it.
...when kids use the word "prolly" on facebook, do they know that the word is really "probably"?
...why do people use an apostrophe when they are refering to a family, the correct way to say it is "praying for the Browns" Not "praying for the Brown's" (unless you are praying for the Brown's cow or something) I see very smart people do this all the time.
...why do I keep reaching for the mouse even though it is unhooked?
...why don't I just hook up the mouse? (I just did)
...why did my husband have to go out of town on his birthday?
...how did I get to be 42 years old already?!
...why does time have to go by so fast?
...why am I even posting this because it isn't really even a post.
...why does it seem like the priest is talking right to you at church and do the other 1000 people feel the same way?
...why have I been working on this #2 Sodoku for 2 days and can't seem to be getting anywhere.
...why am I also in the middle of three different books (this is not counting schoolbooks) and can't seems to be getting anywhere.
...why can't my house clean itself?
...why am I wasting time when it already goes so fast?

A PRAYER FOR LENT
Let us pray, all tens of thousands of us (I copied this from somewhere else, but for my blog purposes I should probably say all SIX of us, since that seems like a fair guestimate of my number of readers:) ), together...
"O my God, we are heartfully sorry for having offended thee, and we detest
all our sins because of Thy just punishment, but most of all because we have
offended Thee our God, Who is all good and deserving of all our love. We
firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more, and to avoid the
near occasion of sin. Amen."

I'm putting this here so I can find it when I'm looking for it. Doesn't this sound good?
PAN-FRIED WHITEFISH RECIPE FOR LENT
The following works with any skinless whitefish. You will need three spices:
Old Bay seasoning, onion powder, and grated parmesan cheese. Heat a frying
pan to just below the highest setting, using an equal combination of butter
and olive oil. Lay the fillets onto the pan, and immediately sprinkle them
evenly with a moderate amount of onion powder, Old Bay, and finally, grated
parmesan. "Seal" the spice combination onto the fillet with a spray cooking
oil. Add chopped onions and sliced red peppers (or fry separately). You can
substitute green peppers or even jalopenos according to your preference. Pay
attention, as fillets fry much more quickly than burgers. Flip the fillets,
then lay on thin slices of mozzarella, Monteray jack, or provolone cheese on
the now-cooked side. When the cheese melts, remove fillets and dump the
onion and peppers onto the fish, and enjoy.

Ash Wednesday
The Lenten Prayer
O Lord and Ruler of Life, take from me the spirit of idleness, despair, cupidity, and empty talking. Yea, O Lord grant that I may see my own sins and not judge my brother. For thou art blessed forever and ever. Amen.
Clearly my blogging comes and goes, and lately it's gone. I found this prayer today and I pretty much think it says it all much better than I can. If you want to read more about it go here where I found it.

Cruise day 1
Normally these days time goes by at lightning speed, except that is, on nights like this when the seconds seem like hours when I'm waiting for the call from the two big kids that the show is over and I can go get them at the theatre and go to sleep. With the remaining 10 minutes before my text tone should ring, I'll share with you day 1 cruise pics. These aren't the best because they were only taken with my phone...

Daybook...back on land
(Cruise pictures will come eventually, in the meantime, you can see the first three days on facebook!)
Around the house...
Madi is right next to me doing some schoolwork, Jake is outside playing with the neighbors, and Jonathan managed to convince me to let him go to the theatre at 4:30, where he will most likely remain until close to midnight. There could be worse hobbies, right?
We are almost caught up with the disaster that is laundry after a cruise (a cruise where every one of us seemed to find the need to change clothes almost as much as we ate).
In the school room...
Madi and the "science girls" finished a whole module today, they are cruising! Madi's history is moving right along as well, and we are coming up on WW1 already!! Jonathan is "caught up" in his virtual school classes, but needs to spend some serious time on math and biology. It is so much easier to get stuff done when you are accountable to someone other than mom! Jake did his "on his own work today", but the aforementioned mom was too busy to make time for history and science, there's always tomorrow!
To remember...
That as hard as it was to come back to reality after a perfect vacation, I really do have a wonderful life!
On the table...
Well it's not the four course meals that we'd gotten accustomed to, but yummy nonetheless... E-Mealz "upside down pizza" tonight, tacos on Tuesday, chicken, pumpkin pancakes, and a shrimp pasta thing later in the week.
Jake had a beautiful fruit cup every night on the cruise, I've already purchased some cute little ice cream/ fruit cups so we can continue that tradition at home (yes, we'll continue with the ice cream too!) {we've already weened ourselves off of the 10:45pm pizzas though!}
In the plans...
Trying to desperately to figure out how to get the same child in two places at once. We are only REALLY involved in two things, church and theatre, yet no matter what we do all of the important things seem to happen at the same time. This is before we figure out how having two kids play soccer is going to fit into the spring schedule
On the road....
It's all local...theatre, church, theatre, theatre, church, theatre... rinse, repeat...
Word of the week....
Reality...it's still feeling slightly over-rated.
Prayer for the week....
Praying for my mother's friend Joanne, who is in the hospital.
