altarflameSo this is my lil' farewell post. I don't have much time and I also don't even have the big kids in bed, as the babies have been so hard to get down tonight, so forgive me the following -
Heather! I'm thinking about you every day and have so many things I want to say to you. I also have a HUGE package here for you, of clothes and shoes for Tempest and freaking steel cut oats like you said you've never had and even new baby things. I really have to weigh the damned thing and get another box because it all doesn't fit in this one anymore, and get to you with postage. Expect the figure Sunday. My offer still stands "despite" the season; please know that I really mean that and don't hesitate if you need me. Even Jesus did miracles on "the day of rest" because it was "The spirit of the law" that mattered.
Dama, Thank you for your review, and it's fine that it took awhile :) I know it was kind of long to read and to read aloud. I would love to hear more thoughts on it, even if it will be a few days til I see them. I am itching for feedback and felt all giddy sending it to you because nobody but Grant and Ananda had previously been exposed. I think I'm only now realizing (because of that silly love languages book) just how much I search for "affirming words".
Sara, where the heck are you? Get your freakin' laptop back! I've posted pictures! I miss you!
And POPPY and JENNE - have the dang ol babies already!!! I'll be checking on Sunday for labor progress, I expect to see infant pictures. That's my final word on the subject.
If you've been emailing me about dolls, I am working on them. If you want to contact me about dolls, I'll be on on Sundays. And I will be making "blanks" (unaccessorized doll bodies) that I can quickly jazz up with hair, wings etc, as well as possibly doing some fully finished dolls and just posting them for sale.
NOW...
My plan is to fill up the time I'd normally be on the internet with
A. Constructive, productive activities like crocheting for money and homeschool activities and housecleaning, but mainly
B. Getting closer to God. I have a lenten daily devotional called "Show Me the Way" by Henri J. M. Nouwen and "The Theology of the Body", by the late Pope, here in addition to my normal bible study, that I'd like to get to every day instead of every third day, and my regular daily devotional, that I should really be doing more than every other day :p I'll still be alternating Sundays going to church with Grant but I'd also like to go to some other services like Maundy Thursday and Ash Wednesday stuff, morning masses through the week over at Sacred Heart, etc.
And as previously implied, I will be taking Sundays as "little Easters" and using the internet then. So I will be checking up on all my peeps and at least saying something to ya'll. Or y'all. Or however it's spelled.
P.S. Play nice in my previous thread. I haven't seen anything even mildly resembling it so far, but if anyone does start in with personal attacks it's gonna be a lot of deleting and banning when I see...some people are really laying themselves out bare and vulnerable and I'd like it to be safe for them. And fyi, I do not get my comments emailed to me, so anything left "leave and delete" style will go unseen. Feel free to actually email me, though. I do get those :p
