A Salute

-
Here's to the moms who request extra handwriting practice at the end of the week
 and to the moms who survived an other-wordly, shrill scream from the 18 month old to start off the Aldi shopping trip with three kids after home school co op. Then zipped around the store, throwing things into her cart(organic hummus, really Kait?), spent more money than intended and topped it off with bacon ranch chicken salad in the parking lot 
 Here's to the moms who find new tape mangled and gnarly on the regular
 to the one who has cats eating in the corner of her kitchen
To the moms who finds themselves, after lunch, throwing back Coke Zero, staring at chicken nuggets on the floor, yelling Catechism questions to one while the others harass and chase each other in circles. I salute you.
Also, for your soul, if you're trusting in Jesus,
Q: How does God justify you?
A: God forgives all my sins and accepts me as righteous through Christ

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School .

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

First, dear readers, we have some business to take care of. I'd like to do semi-regular posts on "Thrifting" (something catchy like like Thankful Thursdays) All I have so far is... More of Caris' Inheritance Down the Drain Mondays or Stuff in my house Saturdays [Please submit any ideas] I have inner conflict (deep, counseling word) when it comes to Thrifting. I legitimately don't want a bunch of stuff in my house so the obvious answer would be to avoid shopping altogether (moment of silence while part of me DIES). But the thrill of the hunt keeps me going back again and again. I feel like we've talked about this before... sorry I looked into joining the local Y as an alternative to shopping, . I pictured Tiny Su and I swimming daily and pumping some iron until I found out that it was ninety-nine dollars  a month. That doesn't exactly fit into the monthly budget so my weekly solo outings usually consist of grocery shopping, walk
