I've got laundry running. I made cookies. I mopped. I took out the recycling. Homemaking is in full swing here. I plan to scrub my bathtub, sweep, do a general pickup, and dust next. Then, I plan to read and write. Homemaking is my job and my love, but writing poetry is my passion. Followed … Continue reading Weird

Writing
This has been a wonderful evening of writing. I've produced several poems. Of course, they all need various levels of revision. But some have potential! I've been reading and writing since I got home from lunch. We went to Mission BBQ today for Veterans Day. I'm so grateful to all who serve. The table for … Continue reading Writing
Feminism is From the Devil
Feminism today is an invention of the Devil, who perverts God's natural order. Women are meant to be in submission to their husbands. It creates a balance of masculine and feminine that makes for a happy home. Men are designed to be leaders of their homes, not subordinates. Too many men today fear their wives. … Continue reading Feminism is From the Devil
Starting November
October was a hard month. Very. The beginning of November hasn't been easy either. But I want to count my blessings. I have a case manager now. I hope it will be helpful. I got back issues of Artful Blogging. There is so much inspiration to be found in that magazine! Rainbows. Enough said. The … Continue reading Starting November
Staying Silent While My Husband Speaks for Me

When I need to say no (something that in … Continue reading Staying Silent While My Husband Speaks for Me

Beautiful Day
Today is a gorgeous day. Warm air and sunny skies are lifting my spirit. I had a medical test this morning, and afterward I stayed up instead of curling up in bed. I've been cleaning the house, studying Arabic, and listening to linguistics lectures. I am hoping this means I am on an upswing and … Continue reading Beautiful Day
It’s a Beautiful Life
Today I am taking some time to get out my new gel pen set and journal. I decided that what this blog needs is more pretty pictures...and raw, honest pictures too. But life at home is beautiful, and I want to savor every moment.
Busy Day Planned
Tomorrow is the first day back to the grind after having my family home for a four day weekend. I've been really unwell the past couple of weeks, and there is much I need to catch up on. So here's a partial list of things I have to do tomorrow. Organize the master bedroom Mop … Continue reading Busy Day Planned
On the Mend
I was physically and mentally not feeling well last week. Then my inlaws arrived last Thursday. So between physical illness, Bipolar, and my inlaws coming to visit, I have been too wrapped up to write here. It has been a very hard week. This weekend I am doing better physically. I went to church and … Continue reading On the Mend
