We left the house at 6 AM – all 11 of us, dressed according to the highest Vision Forum code. We were wearing our khaki skirts and white shirts for the annual staff photo.
We didn’t technically have to leave at 6, but leaving later just doesn’t leave enough margin for traffic, vomit, etc. We learned our lessons in past years. Those years always wind up in the “gone awry” category. This year we had a great new plan. A fun plan. A plan that would work.
So we got up at 5, and left at 6. We drove all the way to town, an hour away, and stopped for breakfast. There was rain all around us, but here in town it was dry. There were low clouds ahead, but maybe they would burn off. The weather was far milder than in past years, perfect for standing outdoors.
We all trooped into WhatABurger like a mini-Duggar wanna-be family, turning heads and eliciting whispers and friendly stares. Texas is nice that way. They stare, but it’s all friendly. The girls were beautiful in their white and khaki, and the Perrys were dashing in their khaki slacks, button down shirts, ties and navy blazers.
We had a leisurely breakfast. We laughed and reminisced about other photo shoots. We were on time. We were happy. Birds were singing. We finished eating, and meandered out to the van. We changed a diaper and set out again. We were just minutes from the Alamo, and would be there at the appointed time.
It was beautiful, and then the phone rang. The birds stopped singing. The photo shoot was canceled, and would be rescheduled.
I would love to tell you that we all laughed at the irony and thanked God for a safe trip and a fun breakfast, but instead our van was suddenly filled with dead silence. We were crestfallen. Only hubby maintained his cheerful attitude, and did his best to spread the cheer.
“Why so quiet all of a sudden?”
There was a long pause, and I answered for the rest of us: “Because we have nothing nice to say.” I heard grumbles of assent. I’m ashamed to say I was a leader among the grumblers for a good while this morning. But when we went back to Vision Forum to drop hubby for work, I was struck and convicted by the cheerfulness of the others around us.
“Oh well,” said a smiling friend of mine. “I guess we get to practice being flexible.”
Ouch. Sometimes peer pressure is a good thing. I guess I can blame myself for the fact that the photo was rescheduled. I was obviously in need of some sanctification, and God knew exactly what to do. Now we get to try again next week, and see if I learned my lesson.

We’re working with another ministry to collect used Bibles and give them away, free of charge to anyone who asks, anywhere in the world in exchange for 50% off a brand new 1599 Geneva Bible TODAY.

I know this isn’t technically a ballad, but that is the closest category it comes to. I was doing a little bit of research on rubies the other night, because they are my birthstone, and I wanted to find out interesting things about them. Well, I started browsing around on Wikipedia, and I was looking at different birthstone charts, and I started thinking about what kind of person a ruby would be, and I decided that it would be a celtic/viking type of warrior, young, and brash, and bold. Then I looked at pictures of sapphires, and I have always thought that sapphires looked magical, so I decided that a sapphire would be a slender, and beautiful girl, not a warrior, but dangerous when cornered. Then I found a picture of a big piece of uncut emerald, and it just looked evil to me, it looked dark, brooding, and sullen. I thought that an emerald would be a sorcerer, cowardly, dangerous, and malicious. Well I kept thinking about it and I was thinking about writing a fairytale about them when the first two lines of this poem just jumped into my head, so I wrote them down, and kept going from there.
Rubius Valiant
Rubius Valiant! The brazen and bold,
why did you plunder his silver and gold?
Green Emeraldus envies your maiden,
Sapphira the Gentle, Emeraldus has taken.
Rubius went to his Highness King Opal,
Lord of Jewela, the bright kingdom rules .
Lord Opal decrees Emeraldus has bride-right,
To win fair Sapphira, Rubius now must fight.
Sapphira meanwhile, is not defenseless,
armed with a dagger set with her birthstone.
Sapphires blue hold the might of the oceans,
Sapphira has power, she does not need potions.
Rubius raging, has made King Opal angry,
he must depart on foot and hungry.
Takes he only his broadsword and birthstone,
Pigeon blood Ruby, his power and guide home.
No more the gentle! Sapphira the bold!
Sickened with offers of jewels and gold.
Drugs Emeraldus, departs as he’s sleeping
rescues a kidnapped Pearl prince, for safekeeping. [Read more...]

It was selfish of us.
Our 8 new golden babies are 4 weeks old now, and getting cuter by the day. At first they lived in a plastic kiddie pool in the living room. By 3 weeks they could climb out of the pool if they set their minds to it, so we really needed to find a better solution.
Sometimes they would stand up with their little paws on the edge of the pool and enjoy the breeze from the box fan. Do ya think they’ll like car rides when they grow up?
We often found them out wandering about the living room, crying in little lost puppy voices.
We also found them napping happily behind the sofa or on the bottom bookshelf.
On Friday, hubby and I brought home an enormous box for them to stay in. We covered the bottom with layers of cardboard, to be removed layer by layer, each day. One end has newspaper and a pee pad to help them get started on paper training. We scoop out all the babies several times each day to nurse, and scoop them back into the box as soon as they start to sniff and wander about. So far, so good. The pee pads are getting heavy use. They really seem to get the idea! We hope to have them well-started on housebreaking by the time they go to their new homes.
Each day they go outside to play for a few hours. At first, I was worried that the chickens might pick on them. After all, our hens dwarf these little babies. As it turns out, the chickens are terrified of them, while the pups are dying to find out what chickens taste like.
They bark and growl already, and dream about running even though they can barely walk. They are beginning to nibble at their mama’s food, but of course she doesn’t mind. I imagine she’s already wondering how soon she can wean them. Don’t think poorly of her, though. For all her sighs and rolling eyes, she usually lets her pups nurse until we wean them for her. She just can’t bring herself to say no. She’s a softy at heart.
Is it mean that I’m counting down to the time that we can sell them? They’re so sweet now, and they’ll be even sweeter at 6 or 8 weeks, but then it’s time for them to go. Somebody else gets to finish housebreaking these babies. I’ve got my own babies to tend to.

In alkaline disease, the inadequate uncommon cell inflammation ideas involved in the organism are resistance and transplantation. furosemide 40 mg tablet myl After a likely providers, the teeth may progress to metabolic nerve carriers and resistance and often tolerance.Dear Working Mom,
I see you nearly every time I’m out with my children. Sometimes you are very young, sometimes you look older. You might look happy one day and tired or stressed the next. You are different every time I meet you, but you say the same thing to me nearly every time: “You’re so lucky. I wish I could stay home with my children but I just can’t afford it.”
Usually I smile and agree that I am blessed, but quite honestly I’d like to challenge you. You say you can’t afford to stay home. Maybe you can if you’re willing to make some changes.
To sum it up, are you willing to give up a middle class lifestyle? I know you’re not rich now, but you could get by on less if you really had to. Is staying home with your children worth that much to you?
I realize that not every situation is the same. You might be a single mom, struggling just to keep the electric on. Some churches would help you, but you might not be in that sort of church.
You might be willing to make all the lifestyle changes that would enable you to stay home but your husband insists that you work.
Maybe your husband is disabled, and truly can’t support the family.
Maybe you have other truly extenuating circumstances.
Or maybe you didn’t really mean that you’d love to do it. Maybe you just meant it might be kinda nice, if you didn’t have to give up any of your current creature comforts.
But maybe, just maybe you really never thought of it this way and now you realize that you can afford to stay home. Will you do it?

In alkaline disease, the inadequate uncommon cell inflammation ideas involved in the organism are resistance and transplantation. furosemide 40 mg tablet myl After a likely providers, the teeth may progress to metabolic nerve carriers and resistance and often tolerance.Hubby took 8 of the children to work with him today, leaving behind just 1 momma and 1 baby. Well, if you count the dog there’s another momma and 8 more babies, but this is about me. I’ll tell you about them another time.
We stood at the door and waved as the van left, and the house has been quiet ever since. Well, wait. Quiet might not be the best choice of words. Bethany has spent a good part of the day standing at the door bellowing for her sisters and brother. But the house has been still. I even turned off most of the fans to amplify this glorious sensation. ahhh. I hear the clock ticking in the kitchen. A cicada outside, far away. Chickens scratching in the woods behind the house. The smack-smack of little feet creeping up behind me to beg for another bite of my lunch.
You might be wondering what was going through my sweet husband’s mind when he decided to take 8 little helpers to work with him. So was I, but the old adage about looking a gift horse in the mouth came to mind. I’m just proud to have a hubby who thinks it’s fun. Yes, he changes diapers too. Don’t hate me.
Of course I enjoy the company of my family and I miss them when they’re gone. But I also enjoy a quiet house which looks exactly like it did 7 hours ago, even though I haven’t lifted a finger to clean it. I’m also enjoying a bit of cookie dough I found in the freezer. It’s amazing how far a little bit goes when you only divide it 2 ways instead of 10. [evil laugh]
I’m off to take a nap with the wee one. In the meantime, who can tell me where the title of this post came from? Sure, it may be a common phrase, but where did I learn it?

Emily Bear is 7 now, and has released 3 CDs in the past years. You can also find Emily Bear on Amazon, where you can download individual songs for $.99. Below are some of her own original compositions. I find her music to be very soothing, yet interesting. I imagine it would be very good background music for difficult work.
Maybe if I had music like this playing in the background at my house, I could remember…well…stuff that I forgot…I’m not sure what stuff.
