Thoughts About Life

So why are we here?  Not here, online, on blogs, making friends with women we may never actually see, but why are we here, here.  Here on this earth.  In this world.  Why are we part of our particular family? The community around us?  Why are we friends with our particular friends and mothers to our particular children?

Heavy stuff for a Thursday morning, wouldn’t you say?  Read the rest of my ruminations over at Midwest Parents today.

Instead of 25 Random Things About Me

I’ve been tagged for the 25 Things thingy quite a few times.  But last week, I saw this on Marilyn’s blog, and I liked it.  I really liked it!  Since she stole it from Randi, I’m going to steal it from her.  Instead of 25 Things, you get 15, but I just love how you have to find your answers in Photobucket.  So, that’s why I’m doing this one, if you must know.

If you want to play, be a good blogger and follow the rules:

1.Go to www.photobucket.com (don’t sign in).


2. Type in your answer to the question in the “search” box.

What? Thanksgiving is THIS Week?

Here’s what I’ve been doing:

  • frantically putting pages into the family scrapbook from last February, so I don’t hit the “year behind” mark in a couple of months
  • shopping for other families for Christmas
  • taking my kids to swim lessons
  • taking my kids to piano lessons
  • sending my kids outside to play in the snow because they are much to crazy to be inside
Here’s what I haven’t been doing:
  • planning the Thanksgiving meal I’ll be making beginning tomorrow
  • washing the sheets for my visitors’ beds (yep, arriving tomorrow)
  • cleaning the house
  • cleaning the car
  • shopping for my own family for Christmas
  • blogging
I’m having nervous withdrawal twitches from being mostly offline for a couple of days.  When your kids have an entire week off for Thanksgiving, it can throw you for a loop, let me tell ya.
Still, I know my mom will want clean sheets.  Better get busy.  Hope she’ll be thankful.
