I've had several blog posts rolling around in my brain for the last week or so. Every time I sit down to tease one out, the phone rings, a child comes up with a question, the doorbell rings, or my new gadget beeps that I have 10 minutes before I need to be somewhere. Being an introvert these things really suck the energy out of me. I didn't realize how draining it is to have my life divided up in these tiny time fragments. I have tried everything I can think of to give myself one hour of uninterrupted time, but to no avail. As you may have guessed this isn't really what I sat down to write about, but then the phone rang...
So, here is a list of topics for future reference that I would like to think about for more than 5 minutes. Words, and how they can build up or tear down. Image and how my grey hair makes me feel. Iphones, the idol in my pocket. Moving away, and how to draw people back. Perspective, how looking at things from a new angle changes everything. It may never happen, but maybe if I put it in writing it will become more real.
Life in a small town with a large family. Trying to put God on display.

haha, you are too cute! I don't know when you have bedtime at your house but have you tried having your Signe time after the kids go to bed. At least every other day or so? I know a lot of your kids are bigger but even they could go in their room and have quiet time while the younger ones are sleeping. That way you can do whatever you desire without interruptions. Just a thought. I used to clean in my one our down time but now I just drop everything and do what I want to do. Otherwise I lose my sanity if I don't have this one hour of PEACE.
Looking forward about reading your subjects you were thinking about.
Looking forward to reading some of those :-)
