Lavender Blue Days

I just got home from a big work meeting at 2:43 am. From day to day my position changes on whether or not I should be running hard at this. It sure is an exciting place to work, and the opportunity is one in a hundred million, but I just don't know how to take care of a family and this work thing. I guess it's time to learn. Sometimes it seems like it would be easier to get a job and just turn off the work part of my mind when I leave work.

But, I never made a living wage before this and that wasn't easy either. Life is pretty complicated. We sure have a lot to be thankful for. Now I just have to learn to transfer that thankfulness to good stewardship of the different areas of my life.

I got this audio bible read by black hollywood actors for Christmas, and I really like it, besides finding humor in the premise. James Brown makes a pretty good John the Baptist.

Yesterday Ruby said "I pooped, I dooped."

This rhyming is out of control. I mean I think it's hilarious that Ruby knows what a Palamino horse is.

It's way more hilarious though, that she called it a peno-beno-ceno-weno horse.

This one definitely makes the list.

Last week at the mall, we were at the calendar store kiosk and Lucy threw a Garfield calendar off the balcony and it landed in the foliage of a tree below. Today I'm going to check if it's still there.

Seems like the "what if I do this" impulse consistently overpowers the "this is wildly inappropriate" inhibition.

Ruby's hilarious thing of the day is waking up at 5:00AM howling "I need mac n cheese!"
