it really must grow on trees..

Madie and I went shopping a couple days ago at Target. We really had a nice time, just the eldest daughter and her mommy hangin' out. A few laughs, lots of chit-chat, even more questions about why do we do this, and why do we do that.. why is the sky blue, etc. On the way out of the mall, she wanted to put money in the big funnel and watch it go "down the drain." I was in a particularly scroogy mood, and mumbled something about "not today, maybe next time."

Anyway, we get out to our car and she is still a bit miffed that we didn't get to watch the money go down the funnel, and her little exasperated voice let out her final protest: "But mommy! We didn't throw any money away when we were at Target!"

If only she knew.. I just simply replied the obvious, "We threw away plenty, Bubbas."

I'm learning to be thankful that I don't have all the answers. I'm learning to be thankful that the Lord up in heaven knows better than I do. I'm learning to be thankful that one day it will all be made clear. But for now.. He is good.

Thank you for the reminder that I haven't posted in a while :) So yes.. life has been happening, and I have thought about posting many times.. just not sure what to post about.

Here's the update:

• Dave heads back to work on Monday with a company called Creative Construction as .. I'm not sure what his position is called. I'm not sure he does either. He will basically be fielding calls, paperwork, and drumming up new business.
  


• The girls are growing too fast.. I am so thankful for the family time that we've had over the last 5 months.
  


• Our house is on the market, but no bites yet. Things are really slow in real estate right now, but it only takes one right person! :)

I wish I had something more witty or insightful to post.. I'll work on it!
