I spent like an hour organizing my email today. I’m not sure why. & I think there just might be something really really wrong with that. But maybe God gives points for neat inboxes. And it’s not as *pointless as it sounds;)
It was driving me insane. Everything gets sent there.
I was looking for something from someone in my family & I couldn’t find it.
So I made folders. And filed it all neatly away.
And no, I don’t think that’s OCD at all.
I think I just figured out why I blog Becca. I spend so much of my life running around trying to be perfect. That’s likely to happen don’t ya think? But here, no one expects anything from me so I don’t have to be. Hmm..lucky you. All that leftover imperfectness that you’re getting 
That revelation leads me to the following question. Why do you come here?
Do you know how informative the internet can be? It’s definently helped me with my identity issues. The ones that I didn’t know I had to begin with. For example, I found out the other day that I’m an invisible dead person who looks like Ludacris. That’s always good to hear.

- Okay, I’m officially jealous. Not only did you steal Buttercup, you’re also an incredibly cool name definition. Lucky!!!
- 1. I organize my inbox the same way! You mean everyone doesn’t do that?
2. I’m glad we get you just being you and not trying to be perfect.
3. I come here because you tell bits of your life with great humor and you share my love for lists.
4. Invisible? Wow!
5. Buttercup – Lucky!
6. I’m still not getting the whole Ludacris thing – makes no sense at all. (at least he’s the lowest %)
7. I have no clue what emo is – am I a total loser?
8. Therapy? I think you take care of your own just fine. - P.S. I tried to rate your blog on your mom blogs rate link but it came up with a message that said ‘link not found’. Just thought you’d want to know.
- Heh…I’m defined as someone remembered as being constantly high. Not just high every once in awhile. No. Constantly.
This is good news for someone who is as pure and untarnished as myself.
Glad our paths have crossed, Luda…
- I come here because you are just plain use-super-mom-powers-not-to-pee-my-pants FUNNY! Is it bad that you and my other commenters are sometimes WAY funnier than my post itself? Well, thats why I come here

Remind me not to make fun of Thing 1’s stories anymore. I think Adventures in Snotland was actually a prophecy.
Except it hasn’t really been an adventure…more like a jungle safari gone really really bad. I thought the story was over. Apparently there are a few *surprise endings.
I don’t really like surprises.
Any of ya’ll pray? If ya do, & you happen to be reading this, could you do me a little favor? Could you just say a little prayer for my Mom.
I’m a firm believer in hitting my knees (instead of the Dr’s office & the pills) when we get sick or hurt. Don’t get me wrong. When in labor, I’m all about the spinal block & the demoral. I’ve had 3 c~sections. I don’t believe that surgery is evil. And as some of you *may already know, I believe in the power of nyquil when ya just feel like crap. Or atleast, the power of nyquil to knock you out so you sleep through most of it.
But as far as actual healing (as opposed to the fleshy feeling better/ comfort stuff) goes… I go to the great physician exclusively.
My philosophy is that if I don’t go to the doctor, then my faith is strong enough that I don’t really need to know exactly whats wrong & I just ‘pray it away’. God is good & all is well. I know that might not make much sense to some, well most, of you, but this has worked for me all of my life. It’s almost like ‘if I get diagnosed with it then it will define me’. And that’s the way it will be. And that’s what my life will be about. Not that there is anything to diagnose. But if there was. That’s probably how it would be.
My family’s (as in mom, dad, sister, nieces) faith is a little different. Not worse. Not better. Just different. That’s okay too. They have faith that if they go to the Dr. when they are sick, that God will use that Dr. or medicine or whatever the treatment is… to heal them. Aaaand that works for them. God is still good & all is well.
So in light of that, I took my mom to the Dr. yesterday. My dad was out of town at a seminar. My sister does not handle emergencies/sickness/basically anything that could possibly involve someone NOT being okay, well.
I’m the one who convinced my mom to go. Everyone’s been SO sick lately. We were worried it might turn into pneumonia. Seriously, I thought we would go to the Dr. (who I used to work for when I was nursing *before other Things took priority & he is very close to our family) & he would give her a shot of cortisone & a script for antibiotics. You’ll feel better in a few days. Come see me next week.
She was off balance & the only way I can describe it accurately is that she was stumbling around like she had had a few too many. He takes one look at her & sends us to the er. She doesn’t want to go. She doesn’t want them to tell her she has to stay. I told her I can’t see any reason why she would have to stay.
SO guess what they tell her? She has to stay. Her WBC is way high. And she has an on again/off again fever.
I know she’ll be okay…but I can’t help but think I should have just let her sleep on the couch like she wanted to do in the 1st place. That’s what I would have done if it had been me instead of her…..

- Sorry I’ve been a little MIA around this blogosphere. Things have been a little busy for me. I’m sorry to hear about your mom. I don’t think you did anything wrong in taking your mom to the doctor. Prayer doesn’t stop working when we are in the hospital. And sometimes the Lord does use medicine for healing. I will pray for her health to be restored and who knows, it may turn out to be a testimony of God’s healing power to someone in that hospital who didn’t know that He does heal.
- Well that’s a much better way to look at it;) ty girlie.
I give up.
Rockyou! is NOT rocking me right now.
I knocked out last night. I am officially sick of being sick. I don’t usually get sick. I don’t usually get sick to the point where I can’t just ignore it & go about my day. My poor kids. They haven’t learned a thing since last Monday.
Okay. To be fair to myself, and my awesome teaching abilities, they have actually still learned a few things.
Like how to make it look like you’ve done things..
when you haven’t really done a thing.
How to feed your family every night…
without ever turning on the oven.
How to get a movie at bedtime…
by sweet talkin daddy while mommy’s knocked out in a Nyquil~induced~coma.
How mommy will be SO agreeable to anything (including, but not limited to, an ultra healthy breakfast of sausage pizza~banana split pudding~& cheeze its) if you just be quiet while you’re doing it.
Not exactly my plan for our curriculum. Or anything close to my “Good Mom” to do list.

- That breakfast menu was funny! I hope you are feeling better soon!!
- LOL, I just posted about being sick on my blog this past week too. But I bet you didn’t look like you only had a 2nd grade math education, nor did your family look like the Beverly Hillbillies. It’s all in a good bout of “the bug” for me.
Blessings,
~Toni~
http://inthemidstofthisseason.blogspot.com/2007/04/yellow-alert.html - Oops, I also meant to say those other lessons were muy important as well. I can’t seem to find them in my curriculum though (I think homeschool moms could write an entire “curriculum” about life lessons learned at home).
Blessings,
~Toni~ - I’m so sorry you’ve been sick! ICK! and I have enjoyed reading this entire page of yer blog! (((((HUGS))))) sandi
- What?, wait, you mean sausage pizza for breakfast, microwave meals and movies all night long isn’t a normal mommy thing? Dang, I guess I missed that memo I hope you feel better very soon and get back into your normal routine. If anything I think your kids are learning grace this week. Grace grace.
- We all have those days. And weeks. And months. And sometimes even years. This too shall pass. Hope you get to feeling better soon!
Blessings ~ Diane - I sure understand this post. Been there, done that.
Thanks for stopping by!

- I think I may be one of your kids… that sounds like my exact routine. lol. Seriously, you are still sick? Allergies or more flu-like…? I’m sorry because you sound like you don’t want to be. I like being sick. Er–is that sick in itself?
- We were sick too for about 3 weeks. It was terrible. I think we’re finally over it. Thanks for stopping by my WW post today! Hope you’re feeling better soon!
- these last couple of weeks have been somewhat unproductive for us. That rotten cold gets a hold of you and doesn’t let go. Keep the Nyquil near by.
- I know what you mean about being tired of being sick. I’ve been feeling a little cruddy but I think it’s allergies. Hope you feel better soon.
- I hate being sick. Had shingles not too long ago- no fun at all.
- Thank you so much. I am feeling slightly human again
They said WHAT?
