WTH happened to September??

Can you believe it's the end of September . . . tomorrow?!  For me, I'm guessing the time seemed to go so fast because I was off from work for a week.  But dang!  I'm kinda not ready for October yet.  It's a busy month in our family :)   AND then we go from that straight into the end of the year race known as HalloweenThanksgivingNovemberBirthdaysDecemberBirthdaysChristmasandNewYear'sEve.

Where are my vitamins and Wheaties?  I need double doses *stat*

Things to Think

One of my professors gave our class this poem.  I really enjoy its message; hope you do too!

Things to Think
by Robert Bly

Think in ways you've never thought before.
If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message
Larger than anything you've ever heard,
Vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats.

Think that someone may bring a bear to your door,
Maybe wounded and deranged; or think that a moose
Has risen out of the lake, and he's carrying on his antlers
A child of your own whom you've never seen.

When someone knocks on the door, think that he's about
To give you something large:  tell you you're forgiven,
Or that it's not necessary to work all the time, or that it's
Been decided that if you lie down no one will die.

Starting the day with humor

I noticed this morning that a visitor from Wasilla, Alaska looked at my blog.

Is it possible that Sarah Palin is a follower of Franabelle's Fancy?

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Swiss Kitty Robinson

When I was eating lunch today, I happened to notice a little someone having a very big time in what I think is our rubber plant.  More proof I need to have my camera around my neck day and night!

 

Silly and staged

As I'm typing the title for my post, I'm thinking, is that a phrase or a clause?  haha

The kids set this photo up, rather, Caroline made John Sam set it up.  He isn't mad and she's not hassling him.  She told him what to do and told me when to take the picture.   Goofy?  Completely.  Still cute?  Positively!  ;-)

Sentence diagramming

Trying to get through some sentence diagramming.  Does life get any better than that?  You know you're jealous

;D

Please pray for my cousin

One of my cousins needs heartfelt prayers.  Please include Denise on your prayer list, as well as her family and friends.  Thank you.

Homework

Homework might be necessary, but I swear it tortures parents more than children.  Sheesh.
