10 Things That DON'T Bug Me

Well, since I'm pretty sure I wrote about things that bug me already I thought I'd mix it up a bit and make a list of things that don't bug me. How's that for a cheery little change? Ok, here we go.

10 Things that don't bug me:

1. People/families who stop by without calling, even at meal time. Love it.
2. People who are coming over to my house and invite their friends to come too without asking me. The more the merrier.
3. People who leave their shoes on in my house. No prob.
4. Jumping on our couches. Go ahead.
5. Dirty kids. Bring it.
6. People who have a problem with me and actually tell me. I welcome it.
7. People who fall asleep on my couch or LuvSac, ahem, Wendy.
8. Being late to a park play-date. (Being late to a meal is a different story.)
9. Being reminded that I owe you money, or that I need to give something back to you that I borrowed. Please, I need the help.
10. Late night phone calls. I'm awake, and if I'm not I do a pretty darn good job of pretending that I am.

Now, what are some things that don't bug you?

People who rummage through my cabinets and help themselves to whatever they want when they're at my house don't bug me.

People who talk about gross stuff at the dinner table don't bug me.

I dont mind having people over every day!
I even love when they dont want to drive home and they ask to spend the night.
I am not bothered at all by the discovery health channel surgery shows... even while eating.
I too enjoy gross and bloody convos at the dinner table... Josh does not :P

I know you posted this blog a while ago. But people who come up to me excited to see Owen and unintentionally ignore me. That doesn't bug me at all! I love all the attention being on him and not on me.

A Quick Update

We have been in Idaho just a few days shy of 7 months. That's over HALF a YEAR, people. MUCH has changed. Our daily routine? Changed. Weekend plans? Changed. People we call when we're in a jam? Changed. How we're being fed spiritually? Changed. (But not TOTALLY, because we are still being fed hearty meals from the truth of God's Word, only our "server" has changed, essentially). How we function as a family? Changed. Everything has changed.  Half a year in a new land, with new people, and a new EVERYTHING will change you. And we are okay with that. Matter of fact, we're better than okay! We scorched our way through a brutal, smoke filled August, and we are GOOD! We tip-toed into the school year in new schools, with new teachers, and new everything , and we are good! A couple kids even won awards! (She's one ...  the oldest was another, but conveniently ducked the camera >insert eye roll<). We mercifully made new frien...

My New Language

My teen challenged me to a game of ping pong. Easy enough, one might think, but this particular teen has been playing for YEARS against GOOD players (my mother-in-law is a champ!). Not to mention his muscles are twice the size of mine and he's a least - dare I admit this - a solid three inches taller than I, probably four. He was so sweet when he asked, and I couldn't remember the last time he had, so of course I said yes. From the beginning he knew he could beat me. He is stronger, faster,  *sigh*  taller , and more skilled. So he, sweet thang that he is, played with his weaker hand, which honestly isn't saying much because the boy is straight up ambidextrous . He was still beating me. So he got on his knees. I kid you not. He put one hand behind his back and he. played. on. his. knees . Aaaaaaaaaand he still beat me. It probably didn't help that I was laugh/crying the entire time. He thinks it was because I was having the time of my life, and I WAS! But r...

The Post About School

Our family has partially or full time homeschooled for eight years. And, getting really technical, if you think of the years per kid, that's 22 years of homeschooling ! I think it's safe to say we are homeschool fans. Our decision to homeschool, initially, came from three factors: 1. Mark is a big proponent of using time wisely, and neither of us were thrilled with the use of time in our local schools. 2. We don't vaccinate, which wasn't a big deal in the beginning because BACK THEN we could just sign a waiver and it was no biggie. Then CA went all - well, Californiaish- and basically it became impossible for us to legally enroll our kids in a public school. 3. What brought homeschooling to our attention was when a family brought us a meal after Mia was born, and in walked this 8 year old boy who was kind, polite, helpful, genuine, respectful, patient, and more. I asked the mom, "Where does this kid go to school? He is incredible! What are you doing??...
