Tuesday Tea Talk

Can you believe I'm finally having you for tea?

I'm sorry I've missed a couple weeks, I've been busy.

It's late too, so if you want to join me for tea on Wednesday, you are more than welcome to!

Next week the kiddos have VBS and I'm in charge of Preschool, so I probably won't blog much,

it will be enough of a challenge getting 5 kiddos out the door by 8am each morning for 4 days.

I will come home and collapse on the couch.  

I'm serious.

We homeschool moms are not used to getting up and ready, kiddos dressed and fed all by 8am.

Heck, we are not used to doing that by 9am!

OK, join me for tea, I'm making iced tea, not only because it's what I like, but it's 97 degrees outside today!

If you'd like to join in, either leave your answers in the comments or make a post on your blog but don't forget to let me know, so we can come visit!

1.  You are at the doctors office and have just been informed you have 1 month to live.

a) Who do you tell?

b) What do you do with your remaining days?

c)  Would you be afraid?

Wow.  I'd like to say I wouldn't change a thing.  That's they way we should be living, right?

First thing I'd change is, I would put a notice on my blog letting everyone know and then I'd quit it.

I get so much from the blog world, it connects all of us, but only if we are living.  If I'm dying in only a few weeks, then we don't need to be connected anymore. 

sorry folks.
First to tell?

I would tell family, and closest friends and our priests.
(then I would do that blog thing)

Then, I would spend my last days preparing my kiddos and husband for that time without me.

I would want to write everything down for them, every thought.  

I would pray for them, constantly.

I would go to Mass every day

I would give everything I have away, so my husband wouldn't have to.

Most of it would go to my kiddos, but you know, my clothes, they'd go.

I would not be afraid for myself.

I would be afraid for my family.

I'd be afraid of how they would deal with it.

Which is why I'd be praying, constantly.

2.  What is the one thing about yourself you like best?

This one is hard for me.

My husband says that is the first sign of lack of self esteem.

I like myself, it's just hard to say what I like.

I like my honesty, I cannot tell a lie.

We should be able to fill a page of all the things we like about ourselves...

Don't worry, I'm not going to do that.

3.  What is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?

I love to bake cookies and make popcorn and play games with the kiddos.

I also love to sit on the porch and watch the rain.  

(so I guess I'm picturing a summer rain)

4.  What do you do when the clock turns 10:10?

I always say a prayer.

3:33, 4:44, 5:55, 1:11  

All calls for prayer.

I always think it is a sign from God that someone needs prayers, either a soul in Purgatory, or someone in trouble, or well, whoever God wants me to pray for at that moment.

5.  Hamburger or cheeseburger?  Grilled or Fried?

Mmmmmmmmm....first thought would be cheeseburger, but I always pick hamburger, because it's less calories, but if calories didn't matter, then I'd pick cheeseburger, grilled.

definitely grilled, preferably, charcoal grill.


Thanks for having tea everyone!!
Stay cool out there!
