Random Thoughts That Come When The House Is Too Quiet

Today my man took most of the kiddos to play basketball at church.  That left me home with LB who didn't speak a word b/c she was so busy with her science.

So it was almost like having the house to myself.

I LOVE my family, but this super quiet time is so refreshing.  I got to wrap Jes's presents without being rushed.  I talked to a friend in CO.  I made some hot chocolate for LB.  And I blogged.  So nice.

It's given me unusual space to think crazy randomness.....

~I have a new ministry idea for some of our harder to reach community.

~I still can't believe we're moving in 4 days.  Lord willing.  Oh I hope so!

~Sitting by Honey in church, our bulletin showed a picture of a white lady surrounded by little black children.  I drew an arrow to her and wrote "ME".  He wrote back.  "GO".  

Oh be still my heart.

~I called my father-in-law and told him of our plans to invade tomorrow.  He sounded happy.

~2 common comments I'm getting about my daughter getting married.

#1 - She's happy now, but just wait 10 years.
#2 - You could be a grandma soon.

My thoughts....marriage is what you make it.  I love my husband so much more today than I did 24 years ago.  M & E have spent 20 years with married parents and know it's not always perfect.  They will be great together.

I have been praying for my grandbabies for a long time.  I can't wait to meet them!

~I hope we have plenty of youth on the Sunday my CO friends will be here so they can meet them.  I wish I could talk them into staying until Wed to meet my Awana peeps.

~Since we are celebrating Jes's birthday tomorrow instead of Tuesday will he still expect a day off school on Tuesday too? ( I bet so! )

~Where will the dogs sleep at night in the new house.

~I should pack.  But then I'll need the stuff I packed.  We didn't bring much stuff anyway and we do still need to live for 4 days.  Probably the reason I'm not a good camper.  I packed the books in my nightstand.  The ones that have been there for 4 months untouched since I bought them at the library book sale.  But then I remembered that I really really wanted to read the new Blackaby one.  And I can't.  So I'm not packing.

~Maybe I should make dinner instead?
