Double Blogging Loser!

More than a month, sorry. There is no excuse. I don't know how people live in "plural" marriages, or cheat on their lover, or hold down more than one job, play more than one sport, have more than one friend, or even have more than one blog! I am a total looooser at this double-blogging gig. I just don't know if I can hack it. I know I have the material, I recognize I have more to my life than youth ministry topics. But since I have more in my life, I don't know that I have MORE time! I'm gonna give it another shot. See if I can "moonlight-blog".

I Know, I Know...

I thought could keep up with both Blogs. Obviously, I cannot. But that does not mean I not going to try. I still have some good crap to tell people. And I need a place to say crap and stuff. Just wanted to drop a line to say I'm still thinking about this blog.

Itchy, itchy, itchy

My house has lice! Jeff went away, we got lice. Jeff came back. We still had lice. What the heck! I have washed EVERYTHING twice, sprayed everything twice, poisoned heads twice. Hopefully it is done. I literally have done 40 loads of laundry in 7 days. I know because the laundry soap says 60 loads and it is almost all gone (I used a little extra soap in each load). It has been so much fun. I have lice dreams...last night I dreamed we all had bugs in our hair that were the size of pumpkin seeds and when I tried to pick them out they sprouted legs and walked away, the night before when i was half sleeping every time the house would creak I would think to myself, "Oh, its just the lice making that noise." MADNESS. I might be slipping into a lice induced depression. I pray to the Lord of Heaven and Earth that this is over!
Other than that things are great.

Check it out!

I just started something new...a website/blog for Youth Pastor's wives. I think it will be fun. Only ministry stories on this new site. I think I'll have enough material to go around. Check it out every once in awhile, marriedtoayouthpastor.com

Scotch

My son caught a big huge grasshopper in our backyard today. It was so cute and he was so proud, he named him Scotch and can't wait to show dad when he gets home. He and the bug jumped around the yard until it was nap time. Dylan so badly wanted to take Scotch inside with him for a nap, but no way! We gently laid Scotch on the picnic table outside and I told Dylan that he would probably be somewhere in the backyard when he woke up, and it would be like a Scotch hide and seek game. He's all excited! When I came downstairs from putting the kids down, I took a peek out the window to see if Scotch just happened to still be on the table...he was. I noticed that as the wind was blowing he was also blowing to and fro a bit...dead. Dumb ol' dead bug. So as I'm rehearsing the life and death talk to my son, in my head, a bird swoops down and gobbles up Scotch in one quick peck! Soooo, do I skip the talk and just let my kid play hide and seek? Oh, the circle of life!
