Reflections of a mother of seven... on a life of faith, homeschooling, adopting the older child, adopting the medically fragile child, and other utterly exhausting endeavors.

Fun at the Food Show

Oh, I am so lame. I quickly read your "can I pinch your nose", and my addled brain actually read "can I PICK your nose". AARRGGHH. I'm hopeless. Funny thing is, I just taught my children that age old axiom that "you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose". It probably is good advice to keep stored in the recesses of one's brain, just in case....
Incidentally, the word verification for my last comment contained the word (or would it be words?) "nono" in it. I am being censored even BEFORE I am published. Sheesh. In any event, I am glad to see you all had a hoopdedoo good time at the food show. We likewise immensely enjoyed the Resource Family Conference, and came away with a wealth of information, encouragement, and papers. They always give you lots of papers at these things............
Also, I noticed that with each successive comment, the word verification gets loooooonger. Kinda like, do you REALLY want to do this????? Hope your foundation garment shopping was a snapping success. Tried to get ahold of you to yak, but alas, you had more pressing things to attend to. The 30 days passed with no apparent appeal, Praise God! Trying to set up a last visit, but the b/m is difficult to reach. I keep pinching myself (or picking myself) (particularly my nose) to be sure I am really awake. Okay, I'm really not doing either. Well, actually, occasionally I do the latter, but only when I think no one is looking. But it does have an aura of surrealism. I am also exhausted - the stress and strain of the past 3 years (particularly past 3 months) is wreaking havoc on my neck and shoulders. To say nothing of what it has been doing to my social skills. Anyway, pick now, yak later..........
Oh, and the major point that we learned at the conference was that you need to laugh. A lot. And anybody that is wearing "crankypants", it is because they have one, or maybe all, of three problems. They either need a nap, a snack, or a cr*p. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I fell off my chair I laughed so hard. I had people laughing at me, laughing at the motivational speaker. Too bad you weren't there. Truthfully, I think our routines are way funnier. I think we should go on the road and do motivational seminars, and have the guys selling shrimp and rice from the back of the RVs. Whadya think???? Lots of good stuff, lots of sad stories, lots of hopeful ones, a few tough endings, and many happy endings to very difficult situations. Great bunch of people, too. Not a cranky one in the bunch. Except some of the wait staff. No sense of humor, some of them.............

Anyway, I've monopolized your blog long enough now, and I'm going to bed. Busy week....more of the same next week, catch up when I can.
Actually, I should have said I "nearly" fell off my chair laughing. I did manage to stay upright the entire time. Whew.
