Back in Action

-
Faithful Blog Readers,

 We're back in blogging action! The main reason we're back on the blogging scene is because of a recent bed rest order. If you need some valid excuses for my absence, I've got a little list.

Recent happenings...

 -Growing a baby (PTL)

 -Abnormal swelling of hands and feet (Ok, and face) Red flagged for preeclampsia (later unofficially dismissed) 

 - I can't always feel my hands/fingers (see above) 

 -Decorating a nursery (postponed until Anna gets here) 

 -Decluttering our house ("Our favorite nation is DONATION" -Bill Devlin) 

 -Cheering my husband on during his last semester of seminary (Rah rah rah!) 

 -Teaching 22 needy babies (who still can't quite nail 3-digit subtraction on a regular basis) 

 With bed rest starting yesterday, blogging will be more regular for at least a few more weeks!

This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
