My Georgia Life

#1 Every now and then I become aware of the odd things going on around me that are just a normal part of life with children. #2 Some of them never get old...but some do. ;) Here are just a few clues that the children have taken over: When you're sitting down to pick out a movie for a home-date with your husband and these are your top-four recommended movies:   When your kitchen sink is filled with a different kind of dishes:     When you drive somewhere and upon arriving realize that your truck has a parasite:     When you're sweeping the floor and you feel like someone is watching you (plus your kitchen floor is THAT dirty...gross): And...seriously...this is still happening.  The kid is over 4-years-old now!  The thrill of the "unroll" is obviously just too tempting:       Just in case you missed the first two installments: Signs of Children Signs of Children II Psalm 1...

#1 Lottie and I have decided to start a little flower business. #2 It's really not a big deal, so why do I have big fear? Fear Creeps In I'm not a fearful person my nature...

Last week: I ran, ran, ran, worked, worked, worked, hustled by fanny all over the place, and got (almost) all my to-do's done. This week: I'm doing as little as possible. Sometimes it's nice to take a break.  Simplification is a popular trend amongst some these days, but it seems that a lot of people make this "simplification" so darn complicated.  We've still been doing our school work around here, still been going to basketball, still been doing laundry and "clean-up time," still been putting three meals on the table everyday.  So, what's the difference? When I've felt tired, I've sat down. When I needed to do something, I got up and did it slowly and smoothly right away so I wouldn't be rushed and hurried later. I haven't been working out or running, which I've missed, but does free up a lot of time for me. I did go for a walk with Ace.  That was nice. I did skip out on a few things in order to take care...
