A good book does not need that stuff in it. Movies and TV are often the same.

He is her second boyfriend this school year. The first one she sent packing because he was more interested in his video games than her. She has definite standards for sure! This one lives around the corner so it is easy for them to see each other and their “going out” consists of sitting at one another’s house or going to the shopping center with a parent, usually my daughter, and she is great at shadowing them. They have gone to a couple of movies at the neighborhood theater. One day they baked a cake. It is all quite innocent. He has, however, started going to church with us which is an interesting dynamic.Boyett-Brinkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066753762645278933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31031098.post-46160903574090716512024-02-02T17:42:38.876-06:002024-02-02T17:42:38.876-06:00What a great idea you had to enlist the Bean's...What a great idea you had to enlist the Bean's help in getting your craft room back into order. <br />I guess I didn't realize that she's already of an age to have a boyfriend.

I guess I just didn’t grow up in the “planner” generation — I don’t think my daughter could get a drink of water without hers! Yes, writing things down does help — i mean, on those days that it seems like you don’t get anything done, if you write it down you see that you actually do! It is helpful and thank you for your kind words about the mammo — I have been lucky that way but it is still a bit of a jittery time.Boyett-Brinkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066753762645278933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31031098.post-66567067423569840762024-01-24T15:40:59.508-06:002024-01-24T15:40:59.508-06:00We are very similar!

I'm sorry to hear you were awake until 4 am. That happens to me once in awhile, where I go to bed and lay there for hours trying to get to sleep. I finally get up and eat a little something like half a peanut butter sandwich and then usually I can get to sleep. Hope that's the last of your nights like that. Hope your weather warms up soon. We are in a terrible cold snap right now too. Take care and sweet dreams. diane in northern wishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760406240936656525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31031098.post-86222195169239612012024-01-17T16:50:46.976-06:002024-01-17T16:50:46.976-06:0016 blessings mom — thanks for dropping by!

We were just discussing recently though an event that happened to me several years ago, when I had a terrible nightmare that a strange man was standing in the bedroom doorway staring at me. I woke up and he was still there, didn't move until I said out loud, "In the name of the Lord Jesus, leave!", then poof he was gone. To this day I don't know if I was actually awake or not, but it seemed like it. In any case, it comforts me that it works to invoke the Lord's name, but I do hope it never happens again. You may have been dreaming too, probably. I hope it doesn't happen to you anymore.16 blessings'momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611246330849334850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31031098.post-56604031055807326012024-01-17T14:37:48.766-06:002024-01-17T14:37:48.766-06:00Apparently it is a common thing to happen with no ...Apparently it is a common thing to happen with no underlying or sinister meanings.
