In which I get wierder...

I have a nice little breadmaker...it's several years old, but works wonderfully. A few months ago, I got a hankerin' for a fancy schmancy one. More buttons and such.
So, in consulting with Sexy Man...we decided I could get a new breadmaker, and send my 'ol faithful to my little brother, who is a fabulous cook!
Except...I'm not sure I want a new one. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally going to send mine to my brother still. But I think I might just forgo getting a new one for now.
Sure, it'll make breadmaking more work.
But, it might be more fun! And the kids love to help me make bread....so it'll be more interesting for sure!
hmm. I think I'm crazy.

Calling my bloggy pals!

Okay. So we all know my Man is fabulous. But he's also brilliant and wonderfully articulate!
He started a blog while deployed, and it's gone by the wayside some since he's been home. (a year now! WOOT)
He revamped the blog and has a post up about...*gasp* abortion. He (and I) would really appreciate it if you would drop by, read, and give your opinion.

Thanks bloggy pals!

answers...

Your burning intelligent smartie pants questions answered.
Hmm. Not quite what I'd imagined when putting this forth. But upon further reflection my friends and family are a buncha stinkers. I should have known better. =P
Bonnie asked:

What is the answer to the universe?

And then promptly answered her own question...42 of course. Unless it's been one of those days. And then the answer to the universe is CHOCOLATE.

Diana asked:

Where do babies come from?

Which ties into the question Anthony asked:

Where do the storks that deliver babies come from?

The answer to Diana's question is the Stork. And Anthony, the storks come from the Cabbage Patch. Duh.

Unless you've joined this club...in which case you know the truth. Ew.

Sarah asks:

Did Jonah come out slimy from hanging out in the whale? (courtesy of her Gracie)

Answer: Yes. Jonah should be glad he didn't come out as whale poop in my opinion.


Now for the non-silly real other questions:

Natalieh asks:

How do you manage your time?

That's a great question, and I really pondered it deeply...after I stopped laughing. The short answer...badly.
We should be good stewards of the time God has given us...as wives, mothers and women. It's hard though. Each role in our life brings more commitments and they seem to add up to more hours there than are in the day.
My best answer: learn to love the word "No". It's not about being rude. It's about recognizing your limits and not committing to something you shouldn't. Your time belongs to God to use as He pleases. If God has given you a husband and children, they get your time first. Everything else is second. Hope that helps. but probably not lol. I WILL do a more in depth post on time management. =)

Abbie asks:

Your kids ever go through freak out from the dark?

Yes. Not much though honestly. Steph has the hardest time. Nightlights are on all the time here. It should be mentioned that since you moved a lot of A's insecurity is probably due to the move. A new home, new people, new area. Encourage her to be a big girl. Lots of hugs and a bright night light. It.will.pass.
In answer to your other question...According to Amanda it will be when she grows up so she and D can get married.

'Cause my Momma said so...

...My mom says I need new poop. And I do. I've just been going through a particularly dry spell in the 'ol noggin lately. Boo.

So..in 'true' writer fashion - I'm swiping an idea and making it my very own! =P
Connie@SmockityFrocks opened up the floodgates for questions. I think that's a stellar idea, and although I'm no where near the authoress she is (nor do I have anywhere near the readership =( ),
I'm going to do the same!

Both here and on FB (where my blog imports) leave me a comment with your questions (ANYTHING. Seriously.) and I'll answer them honestly and as in depth as I can.
