None of these are worth an entire blog entry, but I wanted to share, so here they are: -We saw the Bourne Ultimatum yesterday. Awesome! The PG-13 rating is definitely for violence, but IT ROCKED!! I don't know if the story was that great, but the action didn't stop from the minute the movie began.
-My daughter comes home today from Youth Camp. I've only talked to her a couple of times since she's been away, but I sense she has a lot to share with me. Why can't adults be as open to scriptural teaching as teens? These kids come home changed. If adults went, they would spend the next week critiquing the speakers. You know it's true!
-My son is almost as tall as me. At 5'3", I knew it would happen eventually. The daughter outpaced me years ago, but he's my baby! Don't tell him I said that!
-I wonder if God made women because the idea of having only a guy to talk to for eternity was unbearable. I have spent the last week interacting with mostly men and I have had my fill of them. God bless them; just keep them away from me for awhile!
-I have decided what I hate most about doing laundry is not the washing and drying; it's the folding and putting away. It never ends! And, why is it that when I finally decide we'll never find the other sock and throw the one I have away...the missing one turns up? There are alternatives to throwing them away, though.
-I am beginning to understand why some people think parenting children when they are toddlers is easier than parenting them when they are teens. When they're small, all we need to do is hold them and love them to make things better (bless God, my kids were healthy, so chronic illness wasn't something I had to get through or I'd have different thoughts on this isue). Once they get older, hurts aren't as matter-of-factly dealt with. Kisses don't always make these more mature boo-boos go away. Plus, it is challenging to adjust to the fact that we are not the center of their worlds anymore. We're a significant part of their lives, but so are other things. That's healthy, but sometimes I miss all the attention. Of course, if you asked me when they were elementary schoolers, I would have told you I was looking forward to a time when they wouldn't need me so much.
-I love Starbucks Passion Iced Tea...sweetened with Splenda, of course! As a non-Coffee drinker, I love having a cold alternative to chai, which is also good, but calorie-laden!
-I just got a new CD in the mail by the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. If you are looking for some great instrumental music, this one's for you!
I'm going to spend a couple of hours with my boy. It will be our last time alone, without the daughter, for awhile. I love having alone time with my kids! Enjoy your Saturday!
