A mystery is a reality whose existence we can perceive, but whose inner workings we cannot understand. Einstein.
That quote has absolutey nothing to do with this post by the way. I just liked it. So I stuck it up there. For no reason at all.
What’s that?
Oh you like it too?
I knew you would.
That’s why I put it up there.
Just for you.
Bet you thought I had some deep, profound & wise thing going on here huh? Nope. Not so much. But that’s okay. You can still think that. If it makes you feel better.
You know who is pretty deep, profound & wise? Melanie Faith. You should go check her out. She’s good people. And she’s challenged me to Get Some Goals! Ooooh. That hurts a little. lol.
You know what that means. Right? Can ya guess? Can ya? Oh. Really. You can. I’m that predictable hmmm? Well. Now you sound like the biggest Thing of them all. Did I mention that one of him is *more than enough? (j/k I love you indeezy baby 
And as for you, just read the dang list anyway okay?
You might as well. You’ve already gotten this far….
the top 5 to 10 goals that you gotta’ get so that you can truly say you have achieved your wildest dreams in life.
-
One of my truly wildest dreams….
-
is to be able to *tinkle…..
-
all by myself….
-
without being followed…..
-
interrogated….
-
or otherwise interrupted by loud crashes and bangs and clunks and ‘Mommy Thing 2 is trying to climb out the window again” s. Causing me to perform a feat that would challenge even ‘Mighty Mom’ herself…. …..
-
stop mid~tinkle.
-
After having 5 children.
-
That’s pure superhero type stuff there.
-
But I have no clue how to make that happen.
-
Or I would already be enjoying that *tinkle freedom.
-
Goal 1 ~ Find someone who knows.
-
Another of my wildest dreams
-
is to get out of the house
-
into the truck
-
and further than the entraceway
-
before hearing the words
-
“Mommy I can’t hold it”
-
after I asked each & every one of them.
-
3 times.
-
And made them try anyway.
-
Because I knew what was going to happen.
-
So you see,
-
I’ve covered all of my bases.
-
And again I have no clue how to make that happen.
-
Which brings me to
-
Goal 2 ~ Find someone who knows.
-
My absolute wildest dream ….
-
is to never have to do laundry
-
ever again.
-
Eve really screwed us with that whole apple thing.
-
Really.
-
If it weren’t for her
-
There would be NO laundry
-
We would all be nakie
-
& not even knowing it.
-
But since it’s not a perfect world
-
I’ll just keep my clothes on
-
Thank you very much.
-
It’s better that way.
-
Really.
-
For all of us.
-
Unfortunately I can’t go back
-
to the garden
-
and warn her.
-
So I have no clue how to fix it.
-
And there we have
-
Goal 3 ~ Find someone who knows.
And there it is. Okay, so I obviously dont have very lofty aspirations. No hall of fame for me.
But it is what it is.
My wildest dreams come true in finding contentment in what is already in my path.
My biggest goals are attained by just making the most of the life I have.
Well, that & maybe learning from someone who knows! Cause I sure as heck don’t 
But maybe some of these girlies have a clue….
I’m passing the buck to ya’ll. Now you’ve ‘Gotta Get Goals’.

- I love your list. Tinkle freedom? I think I heard somewhere that comes when they start leaving the house? I was thinking of something that included no laundry so if you find that someone who knows let me know k? k.
- Interesting list. I’m still thinking of mine. Gotta give it a lot of thought. Will let you know when I’ve posted!
Diane - Yeah … it might be a while before i can post a list … haha gotta think about that one :]

Blessings ~ Diane - I’ve been by a couple times in the last few days just to read your posts… I’ve been bad about commenting. Just not enough TIME!
I need more time for this one, I think… I’m workin’ on it, though

Thing 3: Mommy I can’t remember. Why did Jesus die on the cross for our sins?
Mommy: Because He loves us SO much.
Thing 3: Oh Ya.
LONG thoughtful pause: But I really don’t remember that day.

- Thing 3 is very cute. I look forward to conversations like that with my kids. For now I get “church, jesus, friend, toys?” oh and “amen”. It’s still fun.
- lol that sounds like Elijah. Amens are good too
- OK, how precious is that?
- That’s great! Children are sooo…inquisitive and they say such funny things!

Heather - She is wayyyy too cute !

Think about what you’re tryin to do… er sorry. That song is totally stuck in my head. What? It’s stuck in your head too? How ironic. Wait~what..oohhh .. it’s only stuck in your head ’cause.. my bad.
I *think I’ve had one of those bloggy moments. You know, the one where you realize that there’s this whole little bloggyworld out there and you’ve somehow become part of it. Actually, what I’m realizing is that its a BIG BIG bloggyworld out there. And some amazing moms behind them. Moms that you want to be just like when you grow up. Moms like Youngmommy who is a so~much~better version of me than I am. So imagine my surprise when she tagged me with the
She made me sound So great I almost wanted to check myself out. Not like that! Think NICE thoughts! And ya wanna know the best part? It involves *making a list. I KNOW! Aren’t you excited? WOW. Really… you don’t have to do cartwheels… Just sit back down…
And go check out 5 bloggers who make me think
-
A Not So Desperate Housewife ~ Rebecca ~ is the absolute awesomest. She’s my 1st bloggy friend & my 1 faithful reader. lol. AND she even humors me with comment lists! You can tell that she’s the mom you could just chill with all day. No matter what you were doing. Or how WILD your kids are being. And even though she *thinks she’s just waiting for the world to change, I think she’s helping to change it
-
I was just led to Especially Heather yesterday but I was completely engrossed in what she wrote & how she wrote it. When I read about her baby girl I could SO relate. I’ve been there! When I read about what she is going through now I thought “I could never do that” and especially not with the grace that pours out of her. Unknowingly, she reminds me to be thankful that our savior is not just your average everyday hero.
-
Charity of Arrows In Our Quiver really makes me think. She makes me think “How does this sweet little girl have it SO together, and what does that say about me?” lol. If you are ever, ever EVER feeling down & out, need a shoulder or an ear, encouragement or support, or just straight up need to feel like somebody loves ya THIS is the place to go!
-
The mom behind Always A Work In Progress is a true Titus2Woman. She cracks me up with the peepee dance and other silliness. Most of all she challenges me, in those wifely areas… and encourages me to strive to be a better wife, mom & woman. AND she gives the best (((hugs&prayers))).

Ya’ll are making me stand up right in the midde of lurkerville for this one, but if I’m givin you blogs that make me think then I’ve gotta tell you about Rockstar Mommy. I’m not sure if this awards thing is really the way she rolls.. but the very 1st post I ever read on her blog brought home a HUGE lesson that I was being taught. If you looked up a comparison for our little corners of bloggy world it would probably come up under antonyms. You would be looking this up on Encarta, of course. ‘Cause that’s just how we look things up around here. We are both moms, and our instinctive *mom feelings, emotions, fears… they are all the same on the inside. It’s just the way we express them on the outside that’s different.

So, I’ve been contemplating this whole easter thing and am curious how you wiew this holyday. or holiday, if it’s not holy to you. What exactly does this day mean to you?
I’ve always just taught my kids that the easter bunny ~along with santa & the tooth fairy~ is kinda like Barney. Pretend. Something fun and nonsensical (I know. But you KNOW how I feel about Encarta. And I really *wasn’t sure if it was a word) It’s something we do to humor grandma & grandpa. But they know the TRUTH. ANd they have no problem telling it to anyone. Whether you ask or not. SOmetimes this is not such a good thing. Like when it makes thier friends cry. And then causes angry parents to call me at night. That’s not so fun.
Parent: How could you do that to your child?
Me:How could I do what? *Not lie to them?
I don’t care if you do the ’santa/easter bunny thing. I don’t tell my kids you’re evil incarnate because of it. But WHY would you call and ask me that question? I don’t call you and ask why you tell your children a big bunny comes in the middle of the night laying eggs and leaving easter baskets. I’m sorry my child made yours cry and ask if you were lying. We had a talk about it. Really. But he was smarter than me & I had no clue how to come back from his reply.
Me: You know… I know what we believe, but everyone else doesn’t believe that. ANd you made your friends cry. So maybe we shouldn’t say anything to them about it. Thier parents want to tell them something else. And we should respect that.
Thing 1: I thought the bible tells us to tell the truth about Jesus.
Me: It does.
Thing 1: Then why do you want me to lie to my friends? You always tell me not to lie.
Me, *desperately trying to reason with this boy so I don’t have to be screamed at by any more parents: I don’t want you to lie. I just don’t want you to say anything about it.
Thing 6: That’s still NOT telling the truth about Jesus.
There was nothing else I could say. I was out wisdom’ed by a (then) 7 yr old.
So you see, it’s not my fault. He knows how to read. And he has good taste in books. And great life application skills. WOW homeschooling really does pay off! Who’dda thunk it? (I can’t help it. There is just something about that word. I know. It’s like a sickness or something.)
All of that to say Have a happy ‘He’s alive’ day. Or happy EasterBunny day. Or whatever you are celebrating tomorrow:)
- I’ve been debating this bunny business also. My oldest is two so he hasn’t asked yet and we haven’t brought it up. Except last year at an egg hunt at a park he was frightened to take a photo with said bunny. I like the pretending idea, still doing the egg hunts (and stuffing stockings) without that being the focus of the holiday. And it looks like thing 1 got ya there. I’d say its compliments to your parenting. And in the long run I think you’d rather remember phone calls from parents knowing your child wasn’t afraid to share his faith.
- lol Becca. How can I argue with such a good point?
They said WHAT?
