I Want
to move away from here...even if only for awhile
I Have

I Wish
I could make a living making scrapbooks
I Hate
how stubborn people can be
I Fear
that my aforementioned best friend will find a new best friend
I Hear
a calling from God...I just can't understand all the time
I Search
the internet for people I know
I Wonder
if my mother-in-law will ever understand she's old enough to be a grandma
I Regret
high school
I Love
Jesus...Anthony...Tristan...Laura...Kurt....Marie...etc.
I Ache
for my best friend's heart's desire
I Always
cry when I'm mad
I Usually
stay in my pjs all day
I Am Not
who my mother wishes I was
I Dance
slowly with my husband
I Sing
to myself & Tristan
I Never

I Rarely
get my fill of dancing at wedding receptions
I Cry
when I watch Click, Juno, Legends of the Fall, & The Passion
I Am Not Always
on time...I hate that
I Lose
my mind some days
I'm Confused
about where God wants me in life
I Need
a good cold beer...the root kind (shh...I thought it was clever)
I Should

Hey! I loved this! What a great idea. Okay, I will do it sometime soon...very soon.

However, these are the kind of things that you want to hold on to for a day when you are a blank slate. Know what I mean?

Those days have been coming closer and closer together, let me tell ya.

Thanks for thinking of me. And letting me copy you in the near future. Keep dancing with your man!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-
Image
Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

-

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

We Choose Virtues (review & giveaway!)

-
Image
I almost think I needed this Kids Kit from We Choose Virtues almost as much as my sons. I mean, check out this list: patience, kindness, obedience, diligence, forgiving, attentive, etc. I have such problems with patience and attentive (anyone else get distracted by stuff online?)! So I know that it's important to teach these virtues to my children, too (and learn alongside them). Jesus was patient, forgiving, obedient, diligent, forgiving, attentive, self-controlled, content, etc. We are supposed to imitate Jesus and so I thought this was a good way to help me teach them how to do that. image from the WCV website Like I said, I reviewed the Kids Kit. It came with a Kids Virtue Poster (that tells all of the virtues & sayings that go along with them), one Fan Poster (your choice; a large poster that shows one virtue and saying), Virtues Clues & a clear acrylic card holder (business card sized cards with one virtue per card), "I'm a Virtue Kid" button, The
