Should be....

I should be working on my banking, hanging out laundry, vacuuming, all that fun stuff but instead, I was cruising around in Facebook. I think this computer blogging, etc. is great for getting to know about people but do we really get to know them personally? We need to be careful we don't become so connected to our computer moniters that we forget what's going on out in the blood and flesh world. I could waste, yes waste, so much time googling...some of it is wonderful knowledge but some, not so necessary. Kevin is great for retaining useless facts.(those were his words not mine!) The kids love that they can ask him almost anything and he seems to know at least a little bit about it. My memory is like a sieve and I'm sure I seem rather "fluffy"(another word for airhead"ish") to some people. I just can't retain information! It's rather frustrating. Then there's my amazing mother-in -law who still remembers her Grandma's phone number from when she was a child living at home! That can backfire though, having too much in your head. She has said she wishes that she could forget some unimportant stuff to make room for the new. Out with the old, in with the new!
Our addition is coming along lovely. The trusses are up and they are working on the last wall this morning. There are a few minor issues, holding things up but they will hopefully be resolved shortly. Kev and I need to go cupboard shopping. We've been so busy that we're not sure what cabinets we want! I can't believe how relaxed I am about this whole process. 10 years ago, I would have been so stressed. Things don't bother me the way they used to and I don't worry so much. I've begun to learn to give that worry to God and let him take care of it. I don't need extra stress in my life by worrying all the time about everything. My mom was and is a worryer and I am determined I will not be. Of course, I still worry a little, that's only natural.
Lay your cares and concerns before the Lord and pray about them. Then give them to Him. It's good.

Well, that's my blog for the day. I really do need to get to work. I'll try and post some new pictures sometime soon.

how very true
we can spend SO much time living in the techno-world, that we lose touch with the real one.
Your addition look GREAT so, can't wait to see it finished. I'd be up for helping you pack and store away your stuff, if you're interested.
