Waiting for the clay to dry...

No really, that's what I am doing right now. So rather than sit and twiddle my thumbs...Blogging from the studio!

Over the course of the last several month life has been streaching my prayer life.

In a nutshell, parenting semi-adult children is hard. I may end up in the nut house before the process of releasing the girlchild out unto the world is all said and done.

I am seeking the rule book for how to maintain my sanity and control my toung whilst appearing perfectly calm to the rest of the world. Anybody got a copy...cause I really need it.

Wait...rule book, God's  Word, that's it I'll club her into submission with my NIV Study Bible. It's big, thick and certainly heavy enough! Well maybe not, but a girl can dream...

My internal dialog is screaming "Do it my way!" Yet my semi-parental-wisdom is shouting to just keep my trap shut. All this hinges on me being obedient to keep said trap shut...yea, not so much!

Not to mention  you know who stirring the pot of conflict, fear, worry and all other unwanted emotions and thoughts in my head.

Each day I find myself on a continual loop of prayer.

Lord Help me...
Lord Help her...
Lord show me...

Laying in bed at night, tossing and turning and having at time some rather heated discussion with the Lord. 

Cause I need a vacation,

Growing up is painful, the jury is still out on who suffers more in the process. The parents or the children...

PS: She hasn't joined a cult, run off with  motorcycle gang or adopted a life of crime, it just feels that way. It's all normal, at least I keep telling myself that anyway.

Prayers appreciated...

Nothing an evening cocktail can't fix...

 I am trying to come up with a basic set of question to facilitate a daily post. So maybe the first question should be: 1. What was/is the highlight of your day or week? This week I went to a funeral of one of the saints of our church.  A sweet, sweet woman who was dearly love by so many. As I sat and listened to the testimony of the woman's life I felt truly blessed that I had the privilege of knowing her.  It was a blessing to know that she is no longer suffering. The next question should be; 2. What should I or could I have done differently today or this week? This falls under the category of a good thing and bad ting.  The new season of Lost in Space comes out this week. I LOVED that show when I was growing up!!! Sadly, I have totally forgot what happen last season so  am having to rewatch several of the previous episodes so I can catch up. This happens quite frequently.  Also, Diana Gabaldon has just published the next instalment to her Outlander series.  I have to (again) re-

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all!   Later that e
