I can hardly believe another year has flown by.  I remember hearing adults talk about how much time faster time goes when you are an adult but I never believed them.  It took forever to get to Christmas and then forever 'till summer vacation started and then that went on forever and I couldn't wait for school to start again.  Now that I'm an adult time really is different.  I never have time to get all the things done that I need to in any given day.  I am continually amazed at how fast the kids are growing.  It really seems like Jubilee has been here maybe 4 or 5 months and yet she is 9 months old.

I am working on redeeming my time or better yet the time that God has given me.  I am going to work this year on making sure my priorities are what get accomplished and that life doesn't just pass me by because I am squandering my time.  The Bible says, "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."  We all need to be making sure to get accomplished those things that God has asked of us and the rest will fall into place.

I am blogging because I feel guilty about not blogging for so long.  So...in an attempt not to be a bad blogger I will give you a few bits of randomness.

• My baby is cranky right now because she is nearly ready for bed.  I need to feed her and change her diaper so this post will not be too long.
• I have been thinking a lot about my New Year's resolutions.
• I wonder if anybody even reads my blog.
• We just finished playing a card game that my husband invented.  It needs a little bit of work but it's not too bad.
• My dog has acne.  Somebody in our house needs to put medicine on it.
• There are shavings from the pencil sharpener on my floor right now.  I am not exactly sure how they got there but I'm sure I will be the one picking them up.
• I have a whole container of chocolates that I am trying to share with my family but secretly I would like to hide them and eat them at will.
• My favorite tea is Red Rose (decaf).
• My back is hurting right now.
• I really like the James Taylor song "September Grass."  I really like James Taylor period, he has a very soothing voice.
• I have to go to the dentist on Monday and I am dreading it.  I HATE the dentist.
• It's been very nice not being able to go out this week because of the snow.
• I don't know what we will do for school tomorrow but I will figure it out in the morning.  I like Tapestry of Grace but I am having a hard time with the writing/language portion of things.  I think I need the CD to make better sense of it all.

This was over heard in my kitchen this morning:

Hosanna: Daddy, let's play husband and wife.

Mike: Okay

Hosanna: You will be the husband and I will be the wife.

Mike: Sounds good.

Hosanna: You have to come when I call you!

I think I need to start reading "Created to be His Helpmeet" to her now.

Kids drink A LOT more milk when there is chocolate involved?  We recently inherited a bottle of chocolate syrup from Grandma.  All of the sudden I am faced with buying more milk during the week because we are out.  I am going to have to start cutting them off and it's not going to be pretty.
