Jen, over at Talking Hairdryer, tagged me for this meme. My top ten reasons I haven't blogged in a while (in no particular order). I could have said SweetTate (age 2), SweetDoll (age 5), SweetBoy (age 8), SweetHeart, new dog--Daisy, laundry, dishes, company, projects, life...but that would not be very interesting. True, but not interesting. So here is some of what we have been up to lately.
1. I tend to be a one project at a time kind of girl. (I have visions of completed projects that rarely actually happen!) So when I get on a project, I get a little obsessed. My project lately is the kids' scrapbooks. When I started scrapbooking, SweetBoy was about 18 months old. I thought the book I started would be his. A few pages into it I decided it was too much work for that and it would be our family album. Then I saved pictures for the kids, and have now decided to make them each a book too. Well, a few weeks ago, Mom took my little ones home for a few days, and I had all day while SweetBoy was at school to myself! I got the house all clean and scrapped the rest of the time! It was S-W-E-E-T! I got SweetTate's caught up to the point I have pictures developed...um, last May... but it is close! Now I've started on SweetDoll's. I have her home from the hospital. Yep, I have a long way to go, but I am enjoying seeing their baby pictures and watching them grow up. It really does fly by! I can't believe she will start school next year!
2. We have had the sinus junk with this crazy weather but thankfully have not had the really yuck bug that has been going around.
3. My birthday was a few weeks ago. I've reached the point of life when no one mentions your age. They will tell you happy birthday, but no one says which one it is! A few years ago my mom told me, "It is bad when you stop lying about your own age, and start lying about your kid's age!" Yep, I'm that age!
4. I mentioned The Truth Project a few posts ago. I have also been watching the Wising Up video series by Beth Moore. SO GOOD! She started it by saying, "We are not here to just learn about wisdom. We are here to get some!" And let me tell you, she opened up the Word and there was wisdom for the taking in every area of life! I love it!
5. In my personal Bible study I'm doing the John: 90 Days with the Beloved Disciple by Beth Moore. I have really enjoyed her studies in this format when I'm not involved in a group Bible study. Anyway, this study has really hit home. I never really stopped and thought about the person of John and his life. I can really relate to him.
6. On another spiritual note...I've been memorizing Scripture. Seriously, taking it to heart and applying it to life. That has been a neat thing. And good to keep my mind from wandering to negative things.
7. We are in the blessed "between" season--between football and baseball! SweetHeart is not all that into basketball or hockey. He will watch it now and then, especially March Madness, but it is not an obsession in the house quite like football or baseball. But...baseball will be here before you know it. SweetBoy AND SweetDoll are signed up to play this spring. It will be our first time to juggle two in sports and any words of wisdom are welcome! SweetDoll is so excited to move from cheerleader on the sidelines for big brother, to player on the field.
8. My dishwasher is out, so I'm probably doing dishes instead of blogging!
9. We do the Blockbuster movie in the mail thing. We have watched the recent ones and have started digging into the oldies. Last night the kids and I watched "Bye Bye Birdie." In high school we did that musical when I was a sophomore. I got out the photo album and showed them the pictures of me in the musical. What a riot! That movie was so corny! I don't remember the play being like that! The kids asked which part I played. I told them I was one of the girls that fainted! Nothing like a trip down memory lane! In the dancing scenes they asked what they were doing. "Dancing, you know, like they did the basketball dance in High School Musical." They didn't quite get the 60's dance. Thankfully I can say that was before my time!
10. This one is a teaser...we have had a very long week for many reasons. One being the day that I called my blessing day. It is a post of its own, so you will have to come back later for that one! ;)
So, now it is your turn. What have you been up to?

Oh, I am so sorry the dishwasher is out. I can't even imagine...
although we visit most every day... I always learn something we haven't discussed... :-)
dishwasher being out... Jen and Shell... you are missing out having your kids learn to do dishes :-) --- Yes, back in the old days... I did dishes every morning before I walked to school in the first grade --- by myself because my brothers weren't old enough yet... but growing up, it was ALWAYS our job to clean off the table and do the dishes.... we had some really fun times doing the dishes together... (we had our share of fights too... but looking back, we had some fun times too) sibling bonding!!!
walking to and from school and to the grocery store for mom... and doing dishes... things of the past... but good memories!
