love my husband!

-
I love to watch my husband paint----he makes it look good! I go around and try to trim and it just turns out all wrong, and he swoops in and makes a super-straight edge and all is perfect again. I love him!

Painting is almost done....two bathrooms two go. Upstairs bedrooms, hallway, living room, kitchen, and master bedroom--DONE!

Carpet is ordered and being installed next week. My new refrigerator and dishwasher arrived yesterday and are installed......with ice and and water flowing out of the front of the fridge! :) Heather is coming tomorrow and we're going to tackle the bathrooms---git r done!

All that's left after that is to start putting together a million things from IKEA---give me a drill and I'm ready to assemble some beds!

Getting a straight, I mean really straight edge with a trim brush has always been a challenge for me. Others look at it and go, "that looks good", but I still see the wiggles in the line. I'm in awe of anyone who can really rock the straight line. Go George!
Hey, I like how you always change the look of your blog. I could use some tips!

Grace in the madness of mothering

The Bargain Hunter , where my column appears, is undergoing website changes. For now, my columns will be posted here:  There’s grace somewhere in the octaves between high-pitched and emergency, where I could hear the timbre of my voice and know that I was one step away from madness. This chaos lies in the line of crooked bangs cut with a dull hair scissors, no longer able to brush them away from the brown eyes of a child you love with such fierceness and agony. She would look at me, taunting, hugging me before she ran from me to do the things that would make my throat quiver. She would get up from her bed twenty-nine times in an evening, her Aladdin nightgown swinging as she descended from the stairs, and nothing I did would make her stay. There’s grace allowed somewhere in that madness. I remember rocking my baby in a rocker that several of our family had bought us for our wedding. The curves of it embraced us, and the nursery was warm with forced air from the furnace. I

We are Ghosts

"We are ghosts to you. We don't exist until you want our sympathy or help. You don't think your vote will really count, because you want to see what "happens." It's a vote against us and you don't see that. It's a vote against me. We are ghosts until you want us, but we were never there if you didn't see us until it counted." - quoted by someone I love, 9/24 I am lost.  Awash. Drifting in a sea of distractions. Fraught and edgy. Simple and deep. My thoughts betray me and I cannot sleep. We the people. No longer are we the people we say we are.  We are washed in the blood of Jesus and drowning in our own hypocrisy. We cry out for the blood to flow from the bodies of our brothers and sisters in lands far away - those who cry for our help - as well as turn a blind eye to the ones dying in our streets at alarming levels, shouting, "He should have listened."  We cry "Save the babies!" while we kill those in priso
