Slurping Life

Night Groove

My post at Faith Lifts today continues my night groove.  I hope you will visit and share your thoughts.

Being Very Demanding

Today you'll find me at Faith Lifts...demanding that God speak to me.  I know, who would of thought I could be so bold.  I imagine that He would.

Dancing, Eating Cake and Bowling

You'll find me dancing at Faith Lifts today.  If you're a regular reader at Slurping Life, you'll recognize the majority of the text with verses added and ending with an additional thought.  But it was just a moment that spoke to me to be shared at Faith Lifts this weekend.

~~~

That could be the last coherent thought I have for a while.  Today is my now ten year old Mac's birthday party.  You know...house full of ???? boys ages nine to twelve...slinging eating pizza and cake...a wrestling match lively banter...herding the beasts dear children to the SUVs for transport...to the pit of doom bowling alley...where rented shoes will be crammed into one anther's faces donned...and they will be throwing extremely heavy balls who knows where down the alley...while making stupid jokes nice comments about the older people in the next lane...and then they shove and kick calmly climb back into our vehicles..and request really loud noise the music be turned up...which they cannot hear above obnoxious infectious laughter.

I'm certain there will be photos and at least one story to follow...once I complete therapy come down from the euphoria of the day.

Do you have fun plans for the weekend?

Trying To Follow The Rules

Today I'm over at Faith Lifts.  Join me...everyone else is doing it, but I'm trying to follow the rules.

Calming The Chaos and A Carnival

I'm over at Faith Lifts today. Join me and calm your heart in the midst of the chaos of life.

Also, Sarah of Real Life is hosting a blog carnival - Mothers and Daughters.

Yes...me...the mother of four sons is participating because Sarah is one clever lady.  Her guidelines state if you are a mother of a daughter(s) you may participate.  If you are a daughter of a mother, you may participate.  I'm a daughter, I'm a daughter!  But I also have a daughter and if you did not know that, then you should visit the carnival Monday, August 27 and read all about her.  She's incredibly beautiful...inside and out.

You should participate, so head over to Real Life for the carnival details today.  Because unless you're a man, you meet the guidelines.

Fragmented Friday

It seems by the time Friday rolls around I am a woman with a fragmented mind.  Be nice, keep those comments to yourself because I know my mind is quite fragmented any day...thank you.  In honor of my fragmentariness (It's really a word. I checked.) here are a few snippets...

Saturday you will find me at Faith Lifts. 

Monday another part of me will be a contributor to next week's edition of TopBlogMag.

Also on Monday there will be more posted here at Slurping Life about my new blog.

The final fragment of me will be here for Best Shot Monday.

Contests

Pickel of My Two Boys is beginning week three of her series of Signing Time contests.  I've always been very impressed with this DVD series which teaches American Sign Language to children (and adults) of all ages.  Any DVD which can teach me anything is worth it's weight in gold and this series qualifies. Wonder if Pickel knows of a DVD teacher to sub in for me in our homeschool? Might she want the job?  I digress, just click here for information on how enter. 

Alyssa of Life From My Laptop is having a Back to School Contest sponsored by Momagenda.  Do you need your life organized?  Bawahahahahahaha...let's stop laughing over my stupid question and go enter the contest to win one of two prizes which will help us do just that.

Nell of Casual Friday Everyday wants to plan your weekly menus and make your grocery list for one full year.  I"m not kidding!  She's just doesn't have enough to do, so she's offering.  Wonder if she cleans toilets?  Seriously, go over to her place and enter her contest to win a one year membership to Menu Planning Central.

Last, but by no means least, Janice and Susan of 5 Minutes for Mom ALWAYS have multiple contests running.  Just click here and go read about the latest ones.  Remember to check back daily because they constantly list contests.  I wonder when they sleep?  Or do they?

Stop It Already, You're Making Me Blush

Dear sweet Nell of Purple Valley has awarded me another Nice Matters Award.  Thank you from the bottom of my tries-really-hard-to-be-nice heart.  I have to tell my mom about these...just so she knows all those years of being tormented frustrated by a teenage girl were not wasted.  Sincerely, I am humbled and honored.

Since I have recently passed this award to other specific bloggers, it now goes out to each of you...my very "nice" readers...with a big THANK YOU for reading and always being nice with your comments.

Have a fun weekend.

Hanging Out At Faith Lifts

Saturday ~ Quick edit to say there's a Spotlight On Slurping Life.

Today I am at Faith Lifts...taking baby steps...itty bitty baby steps.

Saturday you will find me at 5 Minutes For Mom.  Janice will be shining the spotlight on Slurping Life and has interviewed me in true Katie Couric-Diane Sawyer style.  Please stop by 5 Minutes For Mom tomorrow to say hi and help squelch my interviewee jitters.

Beginning tomorrow you will find me at Faith Lifts every Saturday.  I hope you will visit each weekend and share your thoughts.
