Do you find yourself constantly checking your e-mail, playing games on your cell phone, or absorbed in the internet for hours at a time? Is your house a mess, because you are too busy attending other commitments? Are your days productive at all? Do you go to bed stressed-out? Are you constantly frustrated with your kids, and/or yelling at them? Do you feel spiritually drained, but never go in for a refill?

Wear it out,
Make it do,

Bad Storms
"Be careful what you wish for," my son said as we were all enclosed in my bedroom, including all the dogs and cats.
"Whaddaya mean?" I asked.
"A day without electronics?" he smirked.
My kids can make me roll my eyes a lot around here. He was referring to my suggestion that I recently presented, that was as a family to toss our electronics in a basket and purposely do things the "old-fashioned" way for a night. Did you hear them whine all the way at your house? I got the idea from a book I am reading right now titled "Crazy Busy" and you will soon be reading a review.
Anyway, the photo above was taken just as the storms started rolling in. It was fast. The power went out very quickly after the high winds (some as high as 85 mph) started pushing through here.
