Random Thoughts March Edition

* This has been a month of physical ickiness which in turn makes my mentality go in that direction as well.

** I wonder everyday if I am too hard on my kids.

*** Eye opening experiences have made me realize I am not too hard on my kids.

**** One thing I strongly believe...the world is forgetting to develop the people, especially the people who belong to them.  We give to much responsibility to our gadgets and less to the human brain.  Yes the human brain created those gadgets which is my point....the human brain is amazing, try discovering your own or another human's brain by actual human contact.

***** I LOVE seeing people succeed in both avenues, career and raising children.  I wish I could rid myself of the fear that I do not have enough in me for both.

****** I have a fear of ice fishing...not the act of ice fishing itself but the fact that their is only ice {which could crack and open up} between myself and 40 feet of freezing cold water.

Totally random but all thoughts floating in my head.

Have a great rest of the weekend and enjoy the spring weather.

Quotable Mondays

Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. 
Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.

FREE Is Not Always Good

Do you go for the "free" extras at the grocery store?  The points, gift cards, food, or item you will receive at no extra cost if you spend a certain amount.

I usually go for it, why wouldn't I?

I will say the next time it's a frozen lasagna I will leave it on the shelf.  I am unclear on why we did not favour {or even be able to eat} this frozen entree because of the type of sauce or because we never buy food like this.  If we have lasagna it's made fresh.  I have never made my kids the frozen premade pasta dishes, or quick meals.  In the end we ate our salad and garlic bread.  This is where the lasagna ended up.




What bothers me was the fact that there are so many people out there that cannot afford a meal like this.  I have no right to complain about the quality of food because we are so blessed to have an abundance.  I would love to say we should still take the free lasagna and donate it to the food bank but when you know it tastes that bad do you still do it?  Thoughts?

Quotable Mondays - Simple but Good

To handle yourself, use your head;
to handle others, use your heart.
