Just Stroll-ing Along . . .

i think i am going to start jotting down post ideas as they come to me, instead of sitting in front of the computer & trying to think of something to say. i don't want my blog to be full of randomness, and maybe this comes from my newly-found desire to have some order in my life. i need order in my life. i'm a kind of flibbertigibbet most of the time & while it is nice being spur-of-the-moment, i think i at least need some semblence of order. most of this comes from how i am freaking out that Lord-have-mercy did we really say we'd consider adopting a family of 5 siblings? and how are we going to accomplish having both a whimsical & responsible home.

but i digress.

what i really want is to be able to share with my public - you know who the five of you are - about our lives & why we live & love like we do. i am trying to get away from the materialistically-inclined part of myself & start living deliberately & for a specific reason ... as in, not just going to work everyday and coming home and cleaning the house and cooking supper. working 40 hrs a week and trying to figure out how i'm going to be a mother ... i don't want this outlet to be about how i hate my job & how many poopy diapers johnny had. yeah, those are facts of life, but i don't want that to become what my blog is about.

so what i want to do is become more realistic in my goals, and living my life day to day, knowing
God has a plan for our lives. hopefully what i'll learn i'll be able to share with all of you.
