Because I'm likely not to get to blog much this weekend - I had to get a lot of it done tonight.
Which is funny because it's The Professor's birthday -- but he's off playing one of the MANY games he got for his birthday. So I'm marathon blogging.
The Woman often posts music videos - vintage - on her blog. Today after I got awake and moving, I had this lovely song start playing in the jukebox that is my head -- (this was after My Heart quit Singing) -- and I just had to share.
So, Woman, this one is for you!!
Oh - by the way - it's raining here..

I Rock!!
I literally (okay, figuratively) pounced on a new post over at Life on the Rocks, because Fatty has been busy for her. I got tickled at her post, though. She had been given a "Rockin' Girl Blogger" award by an Ol' Lady. I guess the rules are to name 5 gals to pass the award to - and Fatty, being the gal that she is, broke the rules.She said "now i'm supposed to bestow the award on 5 other girls... but i'm not. every girl i read rocks. and so i'm twisting the rules. i am challenging you to come and pick up your award. i want you to embrace your rockin-ness. tell the world you rock because you get it."
I know she reads my dribble, because she comments on it. Though she never calls it dribble. (Thank you) but I wasn't sure if I rocked enough to come just snag a button and claim it as my own.
What if it's a trick?? *L* What if I rock only in my own mind?
I'm not above delusions of grandeur.
And then I found Jane at Halfmoon Happenings had been given the same award. She rocks. I enjoy her blog entries. She has 4 kids that she homeschools. I think she might be my taller, skinnier, canadian counterpart.
Okay.
Fine.
We're kindred spirits.
She said I rock, too.
Wow.
This Princess is psyched.
Now I get To pass the button:
CarpeBanana - who else knows the name of Alex T. Great's horse and can blog about it? She rocks.
Holly and her Gold Apples -- She's been a blogger bud of mine from the get go - and she just does it all and Rocks while she's doing it.
The Woman - I just love this Rockin' Girl. She's the reason for my next post, too. *Bwahahaha*
A&EMom - because she's been there, done that with me - and loves me anyway.
Melanie over at Happy Happenings - You really do rock. You just do.
ThoughtfulMom - You're a rockin' Timex.
That's 6.
If Fatty can break the rules, so can I.
Now for a Princess-like disclaimer - If I did not list you, it is not because you lack rock status...it is because I have to list only 5 and tonight it's these 6.
A Million Heads?
Wednesday we headed for church at a church that we frequent on Wednesday nights. That's to say, we aren't members there.
The kids were both in the same class as G has "moved up". They learned about prayer through a few skits put on by the leaders.
One fellow walked around the entire, well, it's a mini-sanctuary for kids, asking God, "Can you hear me now?" even in the restroom. The kids loved it.
Then there was the other fellow who wanted a phone to talk to God.
So that gave me a moment to make sure these thoughts get planted a little deeper. We discussed the fact that we can be ANYWHERE to talk to God. Not just church. Not just in our beds. Not just at night. ANYWHERE.
Nor do we need special equipment, like a church or a phone, in order to talk to God.
His Word says that we can come boldly before Him. And we can Know that God hears our prayers no matter where we are. Even in the bath/rest room.
So we said our night time prayers and I thanked God that He hears our prayers...and Mini-Me posed a question.
"Does God have a million Heads?"
Well..no. The Bible says that we were made in His image and we only have one head.
I knew she had another point to make, though. Because I can't remember her words exactly, it boiled down to God needing a million heads to hear all the prayers.
So we had a talk about Him being Omnipotent. Which meant He's everywhere. They got a bit silly with that one. I don't remember what they said because her question had me thinking.
I looked at her and said, "Wait. This could preach."
Mini-Me said, "And you are."
Which I ignored and kept going, "No, listen. You asked me if God has a million heads -- the Bible says that we (Christians) are supposed to be ONE BODY. That means there are no denominational borders - no Baptists, no Methodists ..."
"Having Jesus - should Give us One HEART. And that means that there would be, essentially a million heads. And if there are a million heads, then there are 2 million hands to do His work."
I wasn't going to correct the numbers, this was an object lesson. Does God have a million heads? Yes - He's supposed to have Ours.
If my chair spun around, it would be spinning because that's good. That could preach.

G, the builder
G has decided that he's going to be a builder when He grows up. I'm not sure why, exactly. Though I think it stems from the day we stopped to watch them prep the ground for a new building. He got to watch the front loader move slabs of sidewalk. :-)
Today we took the Littles to the ENT to have their ears checked. J-man said several times yesterday that his ears hurt and he wanted to go see the "Deedaw" (that's doctor to me and you).
I've learned to listen when they request a trip to the doctor. We took Mini-E too because she's not sleeping at night. They're both fine by the way. The ENT suspects E is getting in her 2-year molars.
On the way home G asks from his corner of the van, "Do builders have wives?"
Huh?? I asked for clarification. "Do builders have W I V E S? Like I'm daddy's wife?" Enunciating each consonant.
He nods in the affirmative.
"Some of them do."
"whoa." was his answer. Which had me smothering my chuckles.
We drive for a bit.
"Are you going to have a wife?" I query...still wondering why he brought this up.
"No." He shakes his head.
Oh. We drive for a little bit. I admit I'm a bit concerned.
While I think Jesus may come back for me before that happens, I would hate for G to close the door now (when he's newly 7) on having a wife and family.
"Why don't you want a wife?"
"All that kissy stuff."
I try my best to not laugh out loud and succeed - but it was hard.
"But it's okay, I'll still have a family." He announces quickly.
"That's going to be hard to do without a wife." I point out.
"Oh, you are my family." He says. I guess he's been giving this some thought.
Or at least for 5 minutes in the van.
I wonder what he'd do if Bob & Wendy got married....
