Faith, Home, & Family
Oh, yes, I’m one of those.
The one who puts things off until you absolutely can’t put them off anymore.
sigh…..
Why is it, that they thing you had dreaded doing, is never as bad as you thought it was going to be?
I got a couple of things out of the way today.
Now I have to work on our taxes.
sigh……
Too bad Spring is a procrastinator, too!
sigh……….
(no, that is not a current picture, that was last year, when Spring tried not to be a procrastinator)
Today’s my birthday. There is lots of whispering going on. The kids are so funny. They think I can’t hear them. My husband is the worst. Apparently, he thinks I’m deaf. lol
There is an awesome looking chocolate marble cake, with chocolate frosting on the table. I know it’s chocolate marble, because the kids told me so. 🙂
There are 3 guys in the kitchen cooking supper. My husband and two of our sons. Guys cooking are so funny!
But hey, at least I don’t have to cook! I did cook lunch, though. Bean and cheese quesdillas. They are making cheeseburgers and french fries for supper. smells good!
Can’t wait for the cake!
I recently changed purses to a smaller one. When the 15yo teenage boy saw the new one he said:
“Why did you change to that one? WE can’t fit as much stuff in that one!
WE……..WE….
I do like the smaller one. I like how much lighter it is, it doesn’t hurt my shoulder to carry it.
It just isn’t big enough, though. I often have to carry supplies for my husband who has diabetes. I have to carry snacks for him when we go out, and I often carry his test kit in my purse. Because, you know, I’m carrying it anyway, and if I carry it, he won’t have to take a bag, too.
So I carry his stuff. At least then I know he will have his test kit and snacks if he needs them.
So I will change to a larger purse.
So I absolutely refuse to carry anything for the kids.
If they can’t carry it themselves, do they really need to bring it?
It has been soooo cold here in Kentucky the last couple of weeks. It looks like it’s going to get worse before it gets better. They’re calling for a low of 1 this weekend. one…. one…
I really try hard not to complain about the cold. Really, I do. I have a heat intolerance and it gets really, really hot here in Kentucky during the summer.
So I reserve my weather complaints for summers heat, not winters cold.
I’m just saying…..it’s really cold here…..brrrrrr……..
We have 5 goats that are getting ready to kid sometime soon (we don’t know the date). The poor babies won’t stand a chance in this cold weather. Hopefully, they hold off having them until it’s warmer. They are getting huge, though, so I’m not sure how much longer they will wait.
Well, I’m going to go try to get warm!
The kids wanted to stay up tonight. I think I’m getting to old to do this sort of thing!
Since I was up, I decided to try and make some cheese sticks from scratch.
I sliced the cheese into sticks, dipped them in egg and rolled them in bread crumbs. The mozzarella cheese that I had was really soft. The finished cheese sticks were flat.
They tasted good, they just didn’t hold their shape. I will definitely make these again. I will make sure that I use a firmer mozzarella cheese, though.
Now it’s time to get these kids to bed!!

We’ve been celebrating Advent for about 5 or 6 years. I can’t remember the exact year that we started, but I think it’s been 6 years.
I found some Advent devotional books that were highly recommended by lots of people. The books had what color candles to use in the wreath, and what the colors meant.
A couple of years ago, we started decorating a Jesse Tree during Advent.
Crosswalk has a very informative article about Advent customs, traditions, and where they come from.
