"That's what you call ironic"

Do you ever have one of those spiritually ironic moments? Today I was praying for the ability to love my children and not be selfish and in the middle of my prayer, the kids start yelling about "poop" and "Ilsa" and "ew"! and I'm afraid I have to say that yelling on my part commenced. How frustrating!
Anyone else have a spiritually ironic moment they'd like to share?
In HIM,

Words, words, words...

I'm sitting here, nursing a cup of coffee and nibbling on the chocolate chocolate chip cookies into which I forgot to put flour (I'm too absentminded to make it in a professional cooking/baking environment), trying to figure out what I should write about. The only thing that comes to mind is how intimidating it is to write about anything in the face of so many wordsmiths. See Mollie's blog here for an example of beautiful word working.
At any rate, I must practice what I preach. When Emily says something is difficult or that she isn't good at something, I say "Then what do we do?" and the answer, of course, is "practice". So, this is me practicing.
I will have to think of topics for myself...

My REAL first blog...

I think I should've put this blog ahead of the homeschool giveaway one but the reason I MADE this blog is because of the homeschool giveaway. So, maybe it's in the right order after all...
But, it would be a neat place to practice writing if I can ever get any thoughts together.:)

Until such time, God bless as you serve Him,
Your friendly neighborhood chocoholic
