Back Before Lent!


Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I am on Spring Break and feel like a NEW WOMAN!!!!!!!!

I can't even explain how GLORIOUS it is to have a clean house and a bit of time to do what I want, play with PandaGirl and PandaPop, make real home-made meals, do some shopping, actually get to go outside and enjoy the fabulous spring weather, stay up late and not worry about work for one whole week! Oh sweet Jesus, THANK YOU FOR THE BREAK!!!!!

I am coming back from the Lent hiatus because I don't really celebrate Lent and I haven't "prayed" every time I have thought about the computer. Apparently from the comments on the Lent post I offended a couple of readers. I am truly sorry about that. I never meant to step on your toes. My understanding of the freedom we have in Christ, according to the New Testament, is that He'd rather our hearts be fully devoted to Him ALL year not just for a season. Thanks for your input, though. It made me be aware of how I stated things. We Believers are all in this together and don't need to have division among the flock. Again, sorry.

Now, for blogging. Being off for awhile has made me VERY aware of how much time it takes up. Too much...period. Honestly, I haven't missed that nagging pulling feeling that lures me to clickety, click, click until my eyes hurt from viewing blogs. I have missed seeing pics and reading updates on my friends that live away from me, though. This computer is my only real link to my BFF across the Pond and I need her. I need to see her and her family and I know she misses me, too. There are several blogs I could name of whom I have missed terribly. I just have to keep my computer time in check and not let it overrun my time again. I'll be back later this week with a few pics over the last couple of weeks.

MISSED YOU! ; )

  2. I found you again! I have been a terrible blogger and blog reader lately. I didn't know you knew Christy! Small world! One day, you must come by and we can meet in person!

  3. You didn't offend me or step on my toes with your post about Lent. You just misunderstand the purpose it serves; we do it because we want our hearts to be fully devoted to Christ ALL year and walking this walk with Him during the 40 days of Lent helps us to do that. The Holy Spirit is alive and well and as Catholics we participate in that, too! You can delete my post if you think it's too controversial. Anyhoo, I'm glad you got your house cleaned and you're enjoying your spring break. I need to take that break from the computer and get some stuff done, too!

  4. I'm glad you're back. I missed your updates and pictures. Sounds like your spring break was well deserved and definitely needed. Have you started the countdown for summer break? My husband (the school social worker) can practically break it down to the minutes. He's more than ready for summer. Hugs!!

  5. I so can relate to the computer easily taking up too much time. Today, I didn't use the computer except when Caleb needed to use it for school and when my sister needed my to look something up for her. I'm realizing I don't want my boys to remember me always being on the computer. I can easily wait until they are asleep. It would be easier though if I could just hide the computer. I'm glad you found my other blog. I've kept pretty quiet about it as I'm still getting used to being so open about my thoughts. Enjoy the rest of your spring break!

  6. Glad to see you back on again. You know, I was stating that I was a blog-sholic, but I soon realized after being off a week, that I never missed it. I missed the friends that I had kept up with and was able to zip by & catch up in moments. I feel the same way after having a break- I am so thankful it came when it did!

  7. I'm glad you're back. I, like you, have not had much time to devote to blogging like I used to. I try to keep up at least twice a week, but I"m not able to visit many blogs. I've missed you though!! Glad you're enjoying your spring break. Ours has been super busy...too busy. I can't believe tomorrow is Friday already. S.G. stomped her foot (basically) and said she didn't want to go ANYWHERE tomorrow. :)
