Verve. (And Pizazz.)

Argh, my posting has been sparse.  That irritates me… I must improve.  I’ll start by telling you how I spent my weekend.

In this Albrecht Dürer woodcut, I am, sadly, one of those pitiable souls on the ground, about to be trampled by one of The Four Riders of the Apocalypse.  As you can see by this post, I was saved from the Fourth Horseman only by the mercy of God, for reasons known only to Him.  Thus, I am showing my gratitude by returning to blogging (and home schooling, of course) with all the verve and pizzazz I can muster.

(N.B. – I took great pleasure in rousting him directly after taking that picture.)

**Pauses blogging to listen**

Hollers:
“Who’s in the kitchen?”

Answer from across the office:
“Nobody…”

Hollers again, with increasing volume:
“Well who’s running all that water????”

Vague answer from far away:
“Uhhh….”

Hollers again, incredulously:
“Will somebody get in there and turn off that faucet?!”

Child scurrying kitchenward:
“Yes mom…”

Slaps forehead in disbelief.
Note to self:
Focus on children now, blog later.

I homeschooled four kids all the way through high school and then fostered/adopted 7 more children. I am wife to a very smart mathematician; I dabble in photography, write and sing, paint in bright colors, and love being Catholic!

  1. Mornin’! It may have been ME running the water to get it hot enough to subdue the strength of the coffee???? I like to have the water hot when I add the coffee…don’t like my coffee LUKE! So…I will apologize if I caused stress and difficulty!!!!
    Like the kids’ “busy-ness”!

    1. Lol – I don’t think it was you, it was running for quite a while before I noticed it, and nobody was anywhere nearby. 😀 Just kids being forgetful!
