Armstrongs!!! and PWOC!!!

You should have seen the excitement when the kids saw that our packages were from Armstrongs.
From 2010-01-20
I told them it was GRAIN. Stacia said, "MOM - it's Armstrong your friend, your friend."

Deja, you were the hero. I "never" buy Gummy Bears so YOU must have sent these. ::snort:: I'm glad you told me about the sale. I'll have to remember this in the future. ::snort:: You ARE a friend, thanks for helping me out with my grain issues. ::snort::

Did y'all know that PWOC is like Doritos? You can't eat just one? It's true. I slipped. I let my boundaries slide. I've spent most of the past two days solely on PWOC. That would be fine, if that's what I'd scheduled. But it isn't. Pure and simple....I slipped. My heart is to serve my women and be readily accessible. I realize this is a ministry/job that will never be totally "complete," therefore, I need to have boundaries. The very first one is one that I've had for years....but we lost after moving to Japan. We've gotten into the habit of turning the computer on, "for just a bit," to see if family is around to Skype. If the computer's on, I check email, I research...do you see where this is going? I'm simply going to have to discipline myself to stay the course. It's really not a PWOC thing....it's a me thing. I learned this lesson in Alaska.

No lectures needed....lecture has been self-administered. ::snort::

Mike and I went out tonight with our calendars. This was fun. Well.....the talking and eating part; not so much the calendar part.

I took a bunch of photos and ordered a flat daddy.

Good for you, De'Etta! I've learned that boundaries are a blessing and that walking within the hedges God gives me brings peace and security. Sweet living...

Laughing! Oh Sis, please don't lecture yourself too hard. Sometimes lessons learned need refreshed, as with me and "hope." (I'm rusty, does the period go on the outside or inside of the quotation mark?!) My PUP leader's words about a looking through a different facet of a diamond is coming to mind...What an opportunity to approach boundaries from a different direction. Ooo, am I lecturing? Sorry. lol Actually, I'm in a similar situation. I sit down w/my laptop and fritter away my time. I better sign off now if I'm to be productive today! {g}

It's so hard! I have to watch it very carefully as well because I'd much rather search this thing or that thing than stay focused on school or work (LOL)!

Thanks for posting the Flat Daddy info. We may order a Flat Son/Brother instead. :)

So glad I look the hero with the box...meant to have the kids write notes...but Doug has coached 8 games in 8 days...and Everson had his OWN Upward game...and I worked a few nights...so it was a miracle that the boxes went in the mail when they did!

Was talking to a basketball mom the other night and she mentioned big rocks and sand...made me think of your big rocks/little rocks illustration...and need to rearrange some of our rocks around here ;-)
