Sunday Snapshot

It's been a busy week and there's lots from our family to blog but I've got a little post started with that stuff but it's slow going getting blogging time lately so here and now, in a little snapshot, our week was filled with joy and sorrow.

On Monday night Mary C from our church (who I posted about way back here) went to be with her Lord.  She longed for the day she could stand in Heaven, free from her health problems, free from the embarrassment that her memory loss caused her, free from this earth.  Her funeral is tomorrow and her family would value your prayers as they grieve their loss and rejoice that she is now home, healed and with her Lord.

Then on Friday something wonderful happened.  My sweet friend Stuss had a little baby boy!

JMac is a BIG BROTHER!

He's a little bit proud of his little brother... who is also a JMac so I'm not sure what to do about that one...

He's just so sweet and tiny and cute and I can't wait for a cuddle.

I cannot believe it's Sunday night and I haven't managed to visit him yet.  Stuss gets out of hospital as quick as possible (and it sounds like it was a good idea when the other mother in the room was on her phone all night!) and we had a church event on yesterday and today was a busy write off and I WANT TO SEE HIM!

So, praise God with us for little-J's safe arrival. And that I get to visit him really soon.

've been hit!  or tagged, or whatever.  It's a desk meme and my real life friend Queen Stuss has tagged me.  So the details are sketchy but it looks like I need to show you how my desk is lookin'.

My desk is lookin' at this.  poor desk.  This is my computer-looking-at pose... seriously, I just came back to re-read my nonsense and it could have been a mirror... always the same pose. This is my late night tired, haggard look... it's attractive.  Web-cams are fun to play with your kids but you shouldn't use them for photos of yourself.

Oh, what my desk looks like?  Well that's nowhere near as exciting but here it is.

Paper clutter and bills on the right (paid on the bottom, unpaid on the top) with a box of flashcards and a folder of kids CDs thrown in for good measure, old crusty stained mouse mat and a little case thing with a mini SD card that i think may belong to Wolf... well, I'm pretty certain it does because it doesn't belong to me and I doubt it's the boys... laptop, Lego, tissues (serious sinus issues in this house) pen, cords and cables... that's the kitchen bench to the left and the back door to the right... Under the kitchen bench on the desk is the external hard drive and that blue cord is our currently too long network cable.  Under this desk is just enough room for the printer and a container holding USB cords and other such clutters.

I quite like this little set up.  When we got the laptop we wanted to move the computer workspace into the house (it was in the hot old garage) and Wolf had this tiny bench hanging around at work so he brought it home and it fit perfectly.  I can crane my neck to see the kids in the playroom at the end of the kitchen or I can look out the door and see them in the cubby house.  Perfect.  I can bring up a new recipe online and turn the computer around so I can see it to cook (but the computer is safe from cooking mess) but the whole thing doesn't take up precious space in our small house.

I've had a few people over who have tried to come up with some wonderful solution to our workspace problem but seriously, it's not a problem.  I like it the way it is.  I don't care if the desk is daggy and made out of a few leftover bits of wood, it works.  I like where it is.  I like to put my feet up on the shelf under the bench.  I just listen politely and don't change a thing... I do that with a lot of stuff actually, but we aren't sharing secrets in this meme, just our desk.

So that's my desk... now who to tag...

I tag YOU.

Yes YOU.

Don't pretend you didn't read that, now off you go, have fun and let me know in the comments if you do it!

I'm a LADY!

I love it that my husband still thinks I'm a lady even though he knows better.

I have started the ride on mower a zillion (well at least a half dozen) times before but he still walked me thought it this morning. He's so sweet.

Now to convince him I'm enough of a lady that I shouldn't even be sitting on ride on mower...



Sorry there's not many photos lately... the whole find-the-cord-that-fits-the-camera thing has proved a little difficult... stupid flash card reader dying... there will be non-camera-phone photos soon... I promise... I think.

Also, I reckon the company you keep says a lot about you... My friend Queen Stuss has done the meme taggy thing I did a few posts ago... I'm not sure what her answers say about me (or her), you can make up your own mind on that one but check it out... I tagged my sister too and she's got heranswers here... I spend a lot more time with my sister than most chicks... as far as I can tell anyway... She tagged my mum (I had to leave her someone) and mum's answers are here... Just in case you had nothing else to do tonight (or today depending on which part of the earth you make your home in).
