Someone just sent this to me and I thought it was pretty funny.
Phrases my mom said to me...'At least eat one bite of those peas' (a veg I still dont eat!) 'Just close your bedroom door so that I don't have to see it' (ahh, the good old days) 'Put some lipstick on before you leave the house with Alf' (mo-om, is probably what I said)
Phrases I say to my children...'No toys at the table' (as transformers and cars get tossed to the floor) 'Be careful' (often said to my accident prone child, Aiden) 'Whatever you take out, you have to clean up' (but my house is still a mess!)
Enjoy!

Mitford
I am in love with Mitford... and I want to live there.
I want to eat at Percy's grill, shake hands with Dooley, listen to the Lord's chapel bells, smell the inside of Sweet Stuff Bakery, and shop my grocerys at the Local...AND pick apples from the orchard on Fernbank.
Yes my friends, I am talking about the small town with the big heart.
I am on the seventh book of the Mitford series and will probably cry when I read the ninth one (the last.) Well here is a quote to ponder (chapter one, seventh book)
Enjoy!
Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.
Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we must be saved by love.

Peace
I did enjoy my sugar cookie baking and decorating with the kids, and I enjoyed the little bit of shopping that took place around town. My responsibilities were little in comparison to what they sometimes are (you know, me escaping the busyness.)
BUT - in the time that I was trying to relax and breathe I was having a hard time. You see, Alf was terribly busy the last couple of weeks doing a number of things, one pertains to ministering to the community, in which I am very grateful for the opportunity that we have. I know for certain that it blesses us and I hope and pray that it means something to the people that were served.
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus" Phil. 4:7
A verse that has been going over and over in my head like a broken record lately that sustained me during a time ...
We had a date night tonight that allowed us to connect again. I adore the restaurant we went to where it had a live band playing the Blues and it serves up some awesome New Orleans food.
This may seem a bit choppy for those that will take a minute out of there day to read this but I just wanted to say all this to express my gratitude to my husbands presence in the home, and for a God that takes care of us right were we are.

My Christmas this year
"It's beginning to look alot like Christmas, all around the world" Athan sung this line - just this line - all day last Saturday while we were all involved in decorating the house. Alf put the tree up and decorated the outside front porch. Athan helped with the ornaments. I lighted the tree (seven strands of lights this year, Im so proud of myself, It gets better every year - Alf says that Santa will not have a hard time finding us!) and Aiden helped by not touching anything and just sat and watched Polar Express (his responsibilities will be greater next year.)
Christmas is alot of fun this year. Internet shopping makes life enjoyable, the weather being a high of 40 creates a wonderful atmosphere, and sugar dough in frig ready to be rolled out to make christmas cookies - yummy
I work very hard to enjoy life. I do not thrive on busyness. Sometimes you have to roll with it and there are times when you just do all you can to escape it. I am escaping it this month and going to watch Alf roll with it till next week when he can join me.
