Obeying my husband is always necessary, and as usual, I know what he says is likely for my own good. I don't agree, but I'm being petulant, and he's probably right. I want to go off all my Bipolar medicine to help me lose weight and trigger hypomania (not mania). My husband insists that I … Continue reading Obedience, Moving

Birthday Girl
Today is my 36th birthday. My husband has spoiled me all day. Well, he always spoils me, but today he got me paints and tempera paint sticks and gelatos. Also, he got me a lovely art book. He made me stuffed shells (his stuffed shells are my favorite food) and got me a cake. I … Continue reading Birthday Girl
Weird
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
Staying Silent While My Husband Speaks for Me
I love it when I don't have to give my order to the server because he speaks up for me. I love it when I am in social situations (and getting tired or stressed), and he puts his arm around me and takes over the conversation. When I need to say no (something that in … Continue reading Staying Silent While My Husband Speaks for Me
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.

Benefits of Headcovering
God has called me to wear headcovers. I strive to wear them whenever I go out and frequently when I'm in the house as well. I take them off to eat because I don't want to accidentally drop anything on one, and sometimes I take them off when I'm with my dogs so that they … Continue reading Benefits of Headcovering
Baking, Lisa Frank, Fiction
Next week I plan to bake brownies and cookies. I will be making lasagna for dinner on Monday, crack ranch chicken Tuesday, macaroni and cheese Wednesday, and enchiladas Thursday. Friday will likely be leftovers. Or fish. To save money, I often make large amounts of food, and then we eat the leftovers for days. It's … Continue reading Baking, Lisa Frank, Fiction
A Lovely Day
This morning I slept in a little bit. I got up a little after 8. My daughter's sewing teacher came over. While she was doing sewing I was talking to someone from the school district about home school resources and activities. I got some good information. Homeschooling is feeling more real. I've homeschooled for a … Continue reading A Lovely Day
Be Sexually Available to Your Spouse
Somehow, it has become controversial even among some "Christian" women to say that when your husband wants to have sex with you, you should say yes. Scripture says, "Do not deny yourselves to each other, unless you first agree to do so for a while in order to spend your time in prayer; but then … Continue reading Be Sexually Available to Your Spouse
