I like to rehearse before I leave a message. I am not sure why, but I always hang up, think of what I’m going to say, and call again to leave the message. It may have something to do with my ability to put both my feet in my mouth at the same time.

Back to Stay?
February 3, 2010 – 1:55 pm
I have taken quite a vacation from my blog! Have you missed me? Oh well! Even if you haven’t, you’ll have to put up with my writings about daily life. I have missed sharing it with you. Stay tuned for more every day details and the continuation of my 100 Things series.
We’ll start off with some sayings from (almost) 4 year old Bethany. (If you follow me on twitter, these may sound a bit familiar).
“I was a pencil, but then I grew up into a person.”
“Boys don’t have brains because they can’t talk.”
Bethany (to Peter): “I will never like you again!”
Me: “That wasn’t very nice.”
Bethany: “OK, Peter, I’ll like you tomorrow.”
A 7 Year Old's Prayer
October 7, 2009 – 10:57 pm
Today I told the kids that we should pray for someone we love, who does not know Jesus. Peter’s response brought tears to my eyes. He said, “I’ll pray for him right now.” Then he folded his hands, leaned his forehead against the wall where he was standing, and kept his head bowed for a full minute, praying for his unsaved loved one. When he was done praying, he wiped his eyes and said, “I really want him to have Jesus in his heart.”

Hey! This is half way!! Are you getting bored yet? Hopefully not!
I mimic laughs. When I hang around someone awhile, I tend to start laughing like them. I don’t do it on purpose, and I’m not making fun or anything. It just happens. Does any one else share my weirdness?
A Watermelon of an Experience

Candice got to taste watermelon for the first time this summer! She tasted every part of the watermelon including the rind! What do you think? Did she enjoy it?
Rolled Common Sense
September 27, 2009 – 9:29 pm
I mentioned awhile back that I have switched to one-ply toilet paper (something I thought I’d never do!).
For some reason, I have been noticing Scott’s motto lately. “Scott. Common Sense on a Roll.”
It is just common sense to assume they are saying that the toilet paper is sensible and that it is on a roll. But sense common since cannot be had by a brainless roll of toilet paper, I think they might mean something else. 
Maybe not, but may be.
Not only is it common sense to use Scott, but Scott is “on a roll” with it’s sensible toilet paper. I love the double meaning!

I actually like to do laundry! I always thought I hated it. I think he reason for this is that I always waited until I had 5 or 6 loads before I started. Now that I am doing about a load per day, I actually enjoy laundry. I am not sure what difference this makes, but at least I don’t dread this necessary task any more!

I like to run. Now, I don’t mean that I like to run miles at a time. I probably could not make it even half a mile without having to stop to catch my breath!
When I was growing up, I ran everywhere I went. When my dad sent me next door to my Grandma’s, I ran! When we went to the park, I ran. There was no better way to get from here to there (until, of course, I learned to drive!).
I learned recently that I still like to run. Over the summer, I played volleyball and soccer a few times. Whenever the ball got away from us, I almost always ran for it, even if others were going after it! There is just something exhilarating about running. The wind is in your face and you almost feel like you are flying! There’s nothing quite like it! I am glad to have rediscovered this long lost love for running (short distances!).
