*Why is it so hard for men to throw away holey undies? Does it make them feel more like a man to wear them like that? Gross for whatever reason.
*How is it that I LOVE the summer and when it is summer I HATE rain, but when fall begins, I love that too, even when it rains? Then when it does rain and I don't really mind I feel like I'm betraying my true love, summer.
*How can something that is so slow coming, creep up on me? Like the growth of a kid or anticipation of a birthday or holiday.
*Could I really save a bunch of money by switching to Geico?
*When does an age become old? Will I know when it happens?*What if Santa really is really real and since I've been stuffing the stockings he's been getting REALLY annoyed with me?
*What if money does grow on trees and I just haven't found the right tree?
Things I do know....
*That sometimes I start things I think I'll like and once I get into them I find out I really don't like them, at all. Like scrap booking. I started years ago and always pushed myself to do more even when I didn't LOVE it. Then I finally just stopped and felt guilty that I didn't love it. And just this year accepted that it's okay that I don't love it or even want to do it. Ahhhh. Relief.
*That getting a note "Sam's quite chatty." on Tuesday can change the course of Wednesday. And that sitting next to my third grader for nearly an entire school day feeling like I was wasting my time really wasn't a waste. I learned alot. Alot about Sam. Alot about his teacher and the school. I learned that I love their school even more than I did before and that this was exactly the place they needed to be. That I am proud of myself for doing something hard and getting awesome results. (I asked Mr. Currey how Sam did yesterday. "He wasn't chatty at all" was his reply. Maybe that's because I told Sam that if I had to come and sit with him again that I'd keep the previous day's make up on and not brush my teeth. Oh, and I'd conveniently forget to change from my jammies =D Maybe that's why his day was so darn good! Nothing like a little bit of scary to straighten a kid up.)
*That feelings and reality sometimes don't match.
*That I miss Esther. She's on an camping trip with her class. Untill......tomorrow......*sniff-sniff*
*That I love life and I'm thankful for every.singe.day. Thanks Papa. This is a great day you gave me.
*That I have to go now! But I'll leave you with this photo. We went to the Historical Society Museum last Saturday. This is the only one I took. Not so good, but still a memory marker.

Ahhhh! The ups and downs of life and thinking and experiences! Isn't God good? If we had it all figured out, how boring would that be? He couldn't surprise us with anything! Love you much, Mom : )
Oh, you're killin' me with laughter - what is it with those undies????? I took a permanent marker to a certain man of mine's and made the holes into eyes and a mouth and the mouth had a conversation bubble coming out and in the bubble it said, "Holy, Holy, Holy...." I have to sneakily throw them away or else he gets upset "There was nothing wrong with those!" ya right. :)
Your thoughts are so great!!! Love it!
I feel the exact same way about the weather and my love affair with summer! Thanks for summing up everything that was rolling around inside my own head!
The undies comment made me laugh! In our house, it isn't so much about the undies as the undershirts and white athletic socks. Why, must I ask, does a man feel the need to hold on to the shirts fraying apart at the collar and socks that are stained a yellowish-brown when he's had *multiple brand new packages of both* sitting on a shelf in his closet for 6+ months?? Is there some "special time" those are supposed to come out? :-) Of course, my grandpa has worn the same "work pants" for about the last 40 years, duct tape and all. Must be a guy thing!
