I’ve been thinking about organized friendships. Like Book Clubs. Like Mary Jane’s Farmgirl Sisterhood. Like message boards and Facebook. Like MOPS or MOMS groups. Like 4-H or Clover Kids. Home school groups. Bible studies. I can’t decide what I think. Sometimes I think I’d really like to join everything, as each club seems to serve Finish reading this post…

Abortion advocates insert language into health care reform bill
I don’t usually get too political in this blog, but this is more, much more, than just politics. The public is being misled. A stealth amendment to the Kennedy-HELP health care reform bill would require insurance companies to cover abortion, says James Lansberry, vice-president of Samaritan Ministries International. “This amendment is especially deceptive,” Lansberry says.

Life with Littles.
I’m still pondering this exchange. I went somewhere with all three children. I know, no big surprise there, I go a lot of places with all three children. We had a long day.

wondering…
Why is quiet time such a difficult process? How many times will I have to put that child back in her room? How much longer can the screaming stamina hold out?

Busy Weekend Ahead
Tomorrow we have a family reunion during the day and my 15 year(!) class reunion in the evening. Both are in my hometown about two hours away.

Hmmm…
My house is quiet. My girls are at their grandma’s. I’m in my flannel pants and favorite sweatshirt and don’t really know what to do with myself. I want to go upstairs and make some cards. I also want to take a nap. I want to read a book, and I want to watch a Finish reading this post…
