Looks like I am getting a little lax in my blogging. We have been pretty busy this week. Thursday was Scout pack meeting, Friday a party at the Bowlers. I took some photos but can't seem to locate the cord to my battery.

I read an article in the newspaper about a minister who challenged members of his congregation to go three weeks without complaining. He gave them a plastic wrist band that said, "Spirit" and each time they complaining, they were to move it from one wrist to the other. I have developed an habit of complaining about work continually and I thought this would be an interesting challenge. I will blog my progress. Of course, that would be if I could find a wristband in this mess of a house. Complain, complain, complain.

Spencer and Michaela may kill me one day for posting this old photo of them in the tub but it is one of my favorites. Look at the angelic faces and all the parts are covered appropriately. I thought the light on the water was so pretty.
I am so proud of Michaela today. She cut off ten inches of her hair and donated it to Locks of Love. She loves her hair long and it was quite a sacrifice. We talked about the child that would benefit from a wig made from the hair and how hard it would be to have chemotherapy. As soon as I can find my charger I will take some pictures of her new hairdo. She made me promise not to cry. A cried a little, tears of joy, for my child learning to experience the feelings associated with generosity and also because we will not have as much trouble doing her hair every morning.
Story people quote:
I had a teacher once who said the greatest mystery of the universe was her husband & after that I could never understand why we wasted so much time on things like the cure for cancer or putting a man on the moon when we could just have all those scientists working on him.
Enough for now...love to all.
