to plan not to plan

Yesterday we went around everywhere getting the van ready for Richy
to drive it to Tennessee. (what did Tenne see boys, what did Tenne see?)
We got a few miles into our journey when the ac quit cooling. BLEH.
So finally, me and Toby, or Toby and I if you prefer, got dropped off
at the library.
What is this instinctive thing in babies that says... "Quiet place...
needs some screaming." Toby screamed his head off all through the
library. I got dirty looks... and Toby hardly ever gets dissed like
that. Finally I got him in the bathroom where his screams echoed off
the walls like some kind of torture chamber. Sheesh. Finally he fell
asleep and I took him around in the Snugli. Obtained 2 or 3 new
books, a recycled Gilbert Morris series, and the works of Jane Austen
(to compare to the movies).... and a very obscure CS Lewis book
called Till We Have Faces. Very exciting.

When we finally got home and settled, R1 went out on the porch and
found a snake. ON THE PORCH. It appeared to be a copperhead, so we
called our resident snake authority (pablo) and he came and assessed
the situation. It was a chicken snake. In our defense, he showed us a
picture of a copperhead and it looked VERY similar.
Sometimes I am not lovin the country.

Today: no plan. Glorious.

Mom

Are you salt and light or are you doing the Lot's wife trick?

Beth said...

kat
when i was testifying sunday morning with the kids, i had to think a REALLY long time ahead of time to remember not to call you katwoman from the microphone. hehe 8)

also, your sleepiness all the time really sounds like a thyroid issue. i'm not confessing anything over you, but you can do a lot with your diet to encourage thyroid problems. do you eat a lot of carbs? (not vegetables--i mean you know the good carbs... )
that can be a big encouragement to thyroid issues that will make you really sleepy.
but personally. the thyroid needs to be spoken to and told to live and produce its hormone the way God made it to.
ok, that's all for now.
love ya

Georgia said...

Or, Kat, could you be pregnant?

Beth said...

oh, one more thing, sometimes the symptoms can be confused with clinical depression because thyroid dysfunction can make you feel emotional and depressed because of the change in hormone/thyroid levels

Beth said...

well, yeah, there's always the pregnant reason

Beth said...

ok, gotta go now

Georgia said...

ok, get off the blog and get a job, get a job,...

yeah, anybody ever hear the one about...

Mama PC said...

hewwwo

Mama PC said...

hi, sivad...

Mama PC said...

speakin' about the country, jess... about one hour a month, i dream of moving back into "town"... so as to not have to drive so many miles/hours each day/week/month...

but, then, when i really think about it, i don't wish to move away from the peace we feel out here in the sticks... plus, we enjoy living close to family...

snakes, on the other hand, are something i could do without. ever since i was bit by that copperhead on the ankle in May '03, i'm a bit choosy about when and where i place my feet...

Mama PC said...

papa jc's car is coming in... next week! when we're out of the country! but, the dealer said they will hold it for us until we get back...

Josh said...

When you're out of the COUNTRY?

Josh said...

A Lamborghini

Mama PC said...

He's getting a Honda Civic

Mama PC said...

We're going to Vancouver Island, British Columbia. That's CANADA... right???

Mama PC said...

taco salad - here we come...

papa jc is car sick right now...

on the way home from work, he sat in the back seat (he says) and was reading the fine print on a cd, trying to understand the screaming lyrics that J and Paul were listening to up front... he likes to understand before he confronts...

what is that screaming music all about, anyway? anybody got any sense out of it???

Mama PC said...

ok, gotta assemble the T.Salad before we leave for a meeting...

buy, love and hugs to all...

Josh said...

Ah yes, BC is in Canada. . which would be out of the country. I wasn't thinking for a moment. I thought you might be making a joke about Texas being a country, therefore you are leaving the country when you leave Texas.

Nate said...

screaming music expresses...emotion. I like it, I like it alot! Good stuff. As lame as that sounds, emotion, it's a big thing. It gets into me, it mixes me around. us youth types are loud and crazy. As were all youth types. It began with flappers, and now we have hardcore-dancers. Mosh-pits and the like. Its a blast! Moshing, throwing your body around like crazy. The 50's had rock n' roll, the 60's had acid rock, the 70's had many spectrums: punk, rock, metal, funk, super disco etc. The 80's had butt-metal. the 90's saw the beginnings of the hardcore/post-hardcore era. Which is what is in full swing right now. Its good stuff!

We just don't like butt metal, so we listen to whats out there!

Mama PC said...

even though i grew up in the age where there was a lot of loud music, AT LEAST YOU COULD UNDERSTAND it..

if you can't UNDERSTAND any of it...and the words are questionable... if it leads the listener to FEEL but not THINK... it's not good music... is it???

gotta jet

or lag, one or the other...

I have a prayer request. I just burned my pointer finger while trying to jumpstart my riding lawn mower. Steve will look at it when he gets home, but I am typing with my left hand right now (hard) and right now, my finger hurts too much to use it for anything. We are due to leave in two weeks for Africa, I need it completely healed by then.

Georgia said...
