I love THREE
This is how CZ helps with yardwork. She provides the entertainment. After coming home from a trip to Lowes......to add PLANTS TO THE FRONT OF THE HOUS :) YIPPEE.....this is what I came home to:
Witch Hat. Pink Guitar. Chair with umbrella. Blue two piece.
and CZ singing to her new friend, a baby bird learning to fly.
It get's no better!

Papaw Joe is in Heaven...
And this is very true to my Charlotte.
Lately CZ has wanted to buy things with her own money in her
purse. She needed more stickers. So, at the dollar store we choose between five or so different sets of stickers. Cross stickers are immediately what she choose. The sparkly hearts and cars lost. Jesus hanging on a cross won.
CZ loves to do stickers in the car. The only paper was the back of a car tag. As CZ put her cross stickers on this paper, these were the words that became a cheerful song CZ sang over and over:
"God is in heaven and God is in our hearts.
No worries. No worries. No worries.
No no no no no no worries because God is in our heart.
God sure is in our heart. do do do do do do.
And one day we will be with Papaw Joe, no worries.
He's always there...in our heart.
And, we know because Jesus is in our heart.
We know where Papaw Joe is.
We sure love Papaw Joe, in our heart.
(repeat, repeat, repeat...for 30 minutes)
I'm making this for Papaw Joe (the crosses stickers on the car tag).
This is so we will always know where Papaw Joe is."
Smiling she hands this paper to me....to you.
Still singing do do do do do do do.
No worries. No worries. No worries.

9 years ago TODAY
Was an absolutely perfect day.
It was peaceful. Exciting. Joyfilled.
Friend full. Family full. God centered.
WONDERFUL, sun-shining.
Church packed. Flower glowing day.
I have been married for 9 years, today.
WOW. I feel proud of that.

Seeing the glass half full.
“We will find grace to help us when we need it.” Hebrews 4:16
It is more difficult for me to be an optimist, than ever before. It is not as natural. It takes work, effort.
I am ever so blessed, ever so thankful, ever so hope-filled. But, I have to concentrate to let this that is my soul…be present in my presence.
We just got back from vacation. And, I didn’t realize how badly I needed it. It was without worry. It was admist friends. There were some moments of stress, but it was normal-people-life-kid stress.
After five minutes back at home, I realized all I enjoyed from vacation:
1. Air-condition: We are making life work with unit air conditioners. It works, ok. But, it is nice to be in a cold place. Not, hot.
2. Clean air. Our air smells like a retirement home. In attempts to scare out our three big black snakes that are calling the downstairs of our house their home…we put a bizzilion moth balls in the downstairs of our house. Ooops. Another mistake to learn from…don’t do this. Let me say though, that my macho husband did get rid of one yesterday! Two snakes to go….we hope.
3. Sitting. Ben & I said we long for the day we can sit at our house, have a drink and just relax. We can’t. Our house is a project zone. There are so many things that still need to be done.
My life is so full of blessings. But, some parts of it are really difficult to smile admist.
While I'm complaining. I have to say a few things that are absolutely ridiculous. That way they are said, and I will not keep these cranky feelings anymore.
Things that are ridiculous:
1. I am anxious about summer. I KNOW, not everyone gets summer. This too, I am also SO SO thankful for! So, why am I anxious? a. I'm not 100% comfortable in my own house. b. I'm not a crafty, plan things out, kid-activity, stay at home-ish mommy type....and I need to come up with fun things to keep CZ happy & learning & not too attached to me when August comes around! I want to balance doing nothing, playing, sitting, and being productive. c. I have spent so many hours on getting the studio ready...and I don't have a lot of students signed up. This is good and bad...but I'm beating myself up about it. c. Money sucks. It has been two years since our drastical vagabond journey began...and money isn't much better. And, it makes me feel like crap. d. I have jealously issues. Of gardens, of apparently perfect parenting, of houses, of cooking skills....you name it. Struggling with jealousy right now. Stupid. Stupid.
I bet my period is coming...this is all rediculous. Goodbye.
Reminder....blogging is my free therapy. It is not for entertainment. It is more for me than you. But, I do want it to be honest...and hopefully encouraging somewhere along the line. I don't like to complain out loud. So, by writing this...I can now smile and hopefully be pleasant to the 150+ people I need to encourage today.
