Sorry

Sorry. Just not in the mood to blog lately. ...

So tired.

Overwhelmed by the tons of construction going on. We're getting a new kitchen (sooooo glad!), but there's clutter everywhere from moving everything out of the kitchen. I feel like I can't move in my tiny house that has been taken over by kitchen stuff.

No creative energy left to scrapbook or do anything else that's fun. Just really ready for the whole renovation thing to be done ... and discouraged because there's still a lot more to do (as in several weeks worth of work).

I don't function well at all without solid routines, and the renovation has set me off my routines for several weeks.

Carlos' seventh birthday is tomorrow. Kind of sad because my "baby" is getting bigger ... and I can never get that time back. Just want him to stay innocent ... and I want to be the center of his universe forever (well, it's nice to be the center of someone's universe--don't you agree, lol!).

We'll have a very small birthday celebration at our messy house tomorrow (just cake and ice cream ... and presents of course!), and he'll have his real birthday party on Friday at Chuck E. Cheese. Some of his classmates are coming, so that'll be nice for him!

Maybe I'll muster up enough energy and enthusiasm to post some pictures of his celebrations. :)

I agree with Michelle, everything is off! BUT thank God it's all temporary! You'll soon be cooking again and enjoying your new kitchen in no time! Hang in there, Carmela!

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...

Random "me" stuff

By Carmela
Update about the jail visit :  We were not able to go this weekend because communicating with an inmate is a little bit complicated, so we were not able to set up a time.  I am praying that it works out this week.  My friend will get back to me.  Also, I found out that I cannot bring him anything.  If I want him to have a One-Year Bible, I have to order it online and have it sent directly to him at the jail.  I will be in prayer about that as well. Today, I'm keeping it very light.  I have had A LOT of time to myself this summer, so I wanted to show you how I've been spending my time: a LOT of getting my classroom ready! My favorite part is the back wall (ready for student work!), so I thought I'd show you that today. the back of my classroom! We will have a "Fruit of the Spirit" Tree in which the kids will each have a paper apple with their name on it.  When they see a classmate demonstrating one of the fruits of the Spirit, they w...
