Day 20 - What does my future hold

Well I am so far behind on this 30 day blog challenge.  On day 20 (which was actually on tuesday) I ws supposed to write about what my future holds.

Well I can't see the future and I am glad of that. There is a song we used to sing when I was in the youth choir and it said
I don't know
About tomorrow
I just live from day to day
And I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to gray
And I don't worry about my future
For I know what Jesus said
And today He walks beside me
For He knows what lies ahead
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to under-understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
and that is all I need to know about the future. That Jesus is there before me and He will always be there waiting to guide me

Day 19 - Nicknames...

Well as a baby my dad called me Roosell-Goosell.  Don't ask me why. I have never known. I don't think dad even remembers why he called me that.  As a small girl Dad said I had moo-moo eyes.  Eyes that were Big and brown as the old milk cow's eyes he tended to daily. Then as I got older I became pumpkin-butt.  Not because my rear-end was orange but because it was as big as an orange edible guord.

My aunt Nancy always called me "Kay-Kay".  Because my name began with the letter "K".

My sister called me "Sissy" because she was unable to say Katherine until she was at least 6 or 7.

I had several nicknames in junior-high(middle school) but they aren't all nice and I dont dwell on them too often.

Here recently I have been called Kat short for Katherine.  And also one of my favorites is "G" but only the people I game with call me "G". They call me this because my main toon or avatar that I play in everquest 2 is called "Greatly" and G just sounds really cool to me.

But the best nickname ever is....

Day 17 and Day 18

Well I have let my self get behind on this 30 day challenge so I am catching up by doing two days in one.

Day 17 - someone you would like to switch places with for a day.

Well I thought about this for a long time.  I thought who would I like to be for a day?  My cousin Megan chose the  guy on food network that reveals the secret ingredient on one of their shows.   I thought that was pretty interesting. I could actually see Megan doing that.  But the challenge was who would I like to switch with.

I wouldn't want to be anyone famous, because I see them in the news and they all have problems that I wouldn't like to deal with.  I thought about all my acquaintences, but there again.. nothing.   then I thought maybe I could switch places with someone I could help. I mean everyone has problems, who would I like to switch with to help.

I would like to switch places with my Dad one day and then my grandmother.  why?  they both have such pain and discomfort every day.  If I could switch places with them and give them a pain free day, I would.  I could handle a day of discomfort for them.

Day 18 - Plans/ dreams/ goals I have

Well as a little girl I dreamed of being a veternarian and helping all the animals and working in a zoo.  But as I got older I found I didnt like the blood and the claws and the bites, so i switched I went to school for computer programming.  while I was in school I dreamed of getting married and haveing 4 kids, (3 boys and one girl).  But my sister Rachel has 5 kids, (3 boys and 2 girls) and I realized I have a hard enough time mothering two boys and I know 4 or 5 would push me over the edge of insanity. But I still love kids. So I mother those around me.

Now at this stage of life my hopes and dreams involve maybe finally buying a house.  But that dream seems distant and foggy.

Plans and goals are a bit closer to being met.  I plan on raising my boys to be the best they can be.  I pray every day for wisdom to deal with these two very different children. My goal is to instill in them Christian vaules and to teach them how to be polite and courteous and how to show Jesus's love by the things they do on a daily basis. I want them to be better people than I am.

My goals for today are: clean house, pick-up VBS supplies, take Eli to banjo lessons, make sure everyone is fed and go back to Bible school this evening. And a lot of other small things that need to be done before my head hits the pillow tonight.  I plan on taking it one step at a time and one day at a time.  I will get what I can done and do the rest tomorrow.

Day 16 - Another picture of me - as a baby

Here are a couple of pictures.  The first one is a picture with my Grandparents, Beulah and Garland Creech, My Mom, Doris and my aunt Betty.  I was only a few days old and you cant see much of me.

the second picture is of me and my sister Rachel.  I think I was 6 or seven years old at that time.  I didn't get glasses until after I started kindergarten.

Day 15 - Put my ipod on shuffle and list the first 10 songs that are displayed

Well I really wish I could do this, but I do not have an ipod.  So this may be the shortest blog in my history. Until tomorrow....

Day 13 - A Letter to someone who has hurt me recently

Well I tend to avoid people that hurt me.  And the only one that has hurt me recently is Dexter. so here is my letter

Dear Dexter,

I love you very much but when you walk all over me it hurts!  When I am in bed and you stomp all over my legs trying to find a comfortable spot, your toenails scratch and you weigh a ton.  I know you can't help your weight but maybe if you dig a bit more your nails would not be so sharp.

Your loving owner,

Katherine

Day 12 - My blog story

Well I blame it all on Megan Self.  I had looked at starting a blog several years ago but had decided I did not have the time to devote to it. Then Megan began a blog with a 30-day challenge.  After reading Megan's blog "His and Her Self" I decided I would give it a try.  and wal-lah FROG Blog was born. 

I hope that later after the challenge is over I will be able to keep going with the blog. I would like to post stories about my kids and what they are doing.  I would also like to post the blessings that the Lord sends our way daily.  we will see what the future holds with FROG Blog.
