Let It All Go

I did it again!!!! I am convinced that my body is conspiring to keep me in bed! My body was not the only thing that was conspiring against me this morning. My mind was in on it too. Have you ever awakened and a gazillion thoughts hit you at once? Well, that happened to me…

The Screen Porch

I overslept this morning!!! I think my body knows that Fall is coming and is starting to rebel. Anyway, I only argued with myself a couple of seconds and jumped up and called out to Moo so we could get some kind of walking in before work. I explained to him that because it was…

Stop, Look, and Listen

As is my custom on Sunday, I was ironing the boy's clothes this morning, in the quiet of the day. I began to think about this time that I spend of Sunday and how it has become special to me. It is a time when there is no sound, nobody calling my name, or looking…

For Our Good

Before Moo and I set out to walk this morning, his father informed him that he would be moving up to the next age group in football. And contrary to what I normally do, I decided not to say anything to Moo about it while we were walking. I wanted him to process his feelings…

The Hand Of God

While I was ironing the boys clothes this morning, in the quiet of the day, I started thinking back over my life. And I reflected upon one constant - the Hand of God has been interwoven into the fabric of my life. I have often heard older people say, "If I die today, it will…

Getting My Own Way

I woke up and heard "Go walking today", so off I went. I decided to walk to the gas station at the end of the main street I live off of. Moo and I had discussed walking that way, so I thought now is as good a time as any to find out how far…

A New Route

This morning Moo suggested we walk a new route. I told him that I had mapped out a new route on Nike.com, so we decided to walk that route. When we got to the main street, traffic was a bit heavy,(yes, even in the country, traffic can be heavy lol) so we decided to cross…

Running After the Trashtruck

So, Team Pruden was up early this morning, going about our normal activities, when lo and behold, we heard the familiar "beep beep" of the "refuse collector" coming on our street! We had not put the trash out, so Aaron scrambled to get the trash out to the curb, while Moo was instructed to catch…

Wildflowers and Waiting

Have you ever been waiting on something/someone/some miracle? This summer has been a slow flower season for me...I was not able to do a lot of planting flowers and planted seeds instead....and I hate planting seeds!!! They just take too long to grow and you don't always know what you are going to get....anywho, many…

Mulch and Roots

So, thanks to a good night sleep and some determination, I got up this am and got back in the flowerbeds....today's mission was to clean around the big bushes, clean up the debris piles from yesterday, and start putting down mulch....and as I was attempting to clean up the underbrush from under the bushes, little…
