I will find myself surrounded by stinky uniforms and pads. Three ravenous beings will roam my kitchen because nothing will seem to fill them up. And I will see my sons barely and my husband even less. Friday is the beginning of
I have not written much during the summer, because well summer time is busy! I found myself caught up with writing certain posts because I “had” to (mind you the pressure was put on only by myself), so I needed to step back and only write because I wanted to, not because I felt obligated to. Does this make any sense?
I forgot why I began blogging in the first place and that was so I had an outlet to complain journal my “going on’s” so my relatives on the other side of the US can check in and also to share Christ with others. I say all that to first explain why I have not been participating in certain posts (ex. Thankful Thursday, PhotoHunt, etc.). I am going to participate in them still, WHEN I HAVE TIME but I have freed myself from feeling like I need to participate. And yes my readership has gone down because of that, but you know what I AM OK WITH THAT!
My first love right now is Laced With Grace (even though I only write once a month) and Christian Women Online. Besides that I am just letting the Lord lead, I am excited to see what doors he may open or close.
So for right now, this little ‘ol blog is going back to just ramblings of a brain fried Mom of three teenage boys who loves Jesus, who is telling herself to write here only when she has time, and is an avid reader who loves to share good books with her visitors.
Do you know when I sat down to write this post, this is not what I was going to write about at all, but I guess this is what has been on my heart.
Anyways back to my original thought…..the count down begins, Pop Warner Football begins Friday and I once again become a football widow. I say that to warn you of my upcoming whining updates on football.
But they do look studly, huh?

Girl, I am so with you! I’m working on a post about football as well. Talk about a football dummy — that’s me! But with teenagers in the house, there will be football.
I actually bought “Idiot’s Guide to Football” because I thought I should learn more about the game, what with kids playing and all.
Yawn. It’s worse than watching the actual game. lol
I have not got to the teenagers stage yet…you are my guide LOL.
I love every “ramblings of a brain fried Mom of three teenage boys who loves Jesus”.
I just wanted to let you know that I get a smile and a happy feeling from all the words you write!
I loved the photo of you and the boys from last Friday, also your vacation photos were great, you must be loving that new camera!
Girl,
You are a woman in sink with the Spirit. Stay true to the things you have a passion for. I am always there with you. Now reading you on my Google Reader.
I am kinda excited to be going to football practice and the games again this year. I feel like part of your family and thoroughly enjoyed your football posts from last year. Hugs~
I have 2 boys and three girls. I too deal with the stinky and the sweaty and the rough tumble boy stuff.
With my girls, most days I feel as though I am drowning in a sea of estrogen.
Have mercy on all of us moms.
Whine away sister… no matter if we have boys or girls, we will totally be relating.
This is one I know. By heart. The better part of this year has been spent in a quandry over what to write.
When my heart was flooded with more pain than I felt I could share—the words seemed to trip over themselves.
But—I trudge on. I know that Wanda would not want me to stop. So, like you—I have had to take a step back and write when I could—with what the LORD laid on my heart at the time.
I know your family loves to read your family news and boy-updates! That is the joy of this. AND to read of love, life and laughter—makes us remember our blessings.
YOU are one of my blessings! I love to visit here!
foot ball season! I remember that.. it was the sport in between hockey season! lol
And we are breathing…breathing…breathing…
A wonderful friend once said to me, after I had shared (ok, complained) about my life, “You do a LOT. Do you realize that?”
and the truth was that I always felt I had to do more. (Still working on WHY…)
May you know that what you are already doing is ENOUGH today!
Kudos to you for having the courage to “just say no”

I am fairly new at blogging. One can get too carried away. I must learn like you to post and visit blogs as the Lord directs. Thank you for the reminder.
