Ponderings
This has to be quick because I am attempting to pack, finish designing ads, and blog all at the same time. Right now I'm waiting for feedback on the last ad sent, so, like I said, this has to be quick.
A couple things:
Owen has a runny nose. This isn't something to call 911 about, but in our case, atleast in the last 2 months, and too many runs to the doctor's office, it means that he will have an ear infection soon. If indeed the non-infected fluid behind his ears (which was the verdict yesterday) get's infected it will be his 5th infection, 5th round of antibiotics in 2 months. I don't have to tell you the numerous things (including but not limited to tubes, and sleep deprivation) affected by his health. Less importantly, but still a factor, we are driving to the Black Hills to stay in a cozy cabin with my ENTIRE family. By cozy, I mean "lovely, charming, and a tad tight for these amount of guests. This type of "cozy" situation is scary when there is a good chance little O will be screaming all night. Please pray for O, our family, and grace and patience for my extended family during our time together :D
I am also contemplating some things about blogging. Like, is it safe to post pictures. Check out BooMama (link on right) she not only is hilarious, but she blogged and linked to another blog talking about the dangers of weirdos getting on your site for very WRONG reasons. I did add a site tracker, but really it doesn't do much for me except scare the Be-geezees out of me, since it's hard to tell how everyone finds the site. I am relieved that as far as I can tell, noone's come to the site by google searches with "children" etc in the search option. I also had a conversation the other day that lead me to start thinking about why I blog. I don't feel like I ever have anything profound or inspiring to say, I dont' feel like what I write about is anything but maybe once in awhile amusing. I really enjoy the "community" that's started to form, but is my part really all that necessary. I am a Christian WAHM, but you can't necessarily tell the Christian part by the blogging. Not that I don't have spiritual thoughts, ponderings, etc. I just don't write about them. I don't know why, maybe because it's hard for me to get the words out right, the questions could sound wrong, the thoughts too simple, or too strange . . . I'm not asking for props here, but if you have thoughts one way or the other, please share.
Anyways, just alot of scattered thoughts today.
