Started working on the family history project, and questions were sent out to Aunts and Uncles and parents (like I need another project, right?).
You may need to grab of cup of coffee or tea to read this. I didn't intend for it to be so long, but I may not be online this weekend.
Hubby's parents are both deceased, so I am limited to his side, but working no both sides of my own family. I am please to already received answered questions back. Life is too short to not ask questions.
Let me tell you about patience. Yesterday, after driving south to run errands, I came home to read "Chicken Feed Now" written on the fridge board. Son must have written it before he had left for work.
So, after the girls got home, I drove north to do a library run (where I donated 4 gallon ziploc bags of foam shapes with stickers - BING! One more thing out of my craft supplies that we are not using, and went to good use. Oh, and a young beginner's book for spanish). Then back south to the feed store to pick up chicken feed, then over to the school (our pre-K to 12th school is out in the country) to pick up my 14 year-old from her after school spanish club.
I sat there for fifteen minutes wondering why she was not out of the building yet. Getting impatient, I called home. She had not shown up or called. I grew more impatient. Then I called Hubby and inquired if she had mentioned going home with someone else. Nope. Frustrated that I had not brought a book to read, I sat tapping my fingers on the steering wheel, hmpfing every so often. Finally I see her walk out.
As we pull into the driveway at home, I get out and realize that during all that time, I had a large bag of books and magazines behind my seat........from the library visit. Duh!
Just 2 hours prior to all of this, I had just read "According to 1 Samuel 'lack of patience can cause you to miss blessings'. . . ." from BibleStudyTools.com. I guess I missed the blessing of those books and time to read them, because I was so too focused on impatience.
This morning I took time to enjoy the sunrise. We are due to have a warm up, and a lot of melting snow.
Enjoy your weekend. I'm spending more time purging craft supplies, organizing, and deep cleaning. Yesterday we unplugged for 6 hours. The kids got the hint and got their chores done, but today there are dirty dishes everywhere again. I may be unplugging all weekend as well. One day they will "get it."
