conglomeration of thoughts

• Struggling to blog.... I'm still a a loss as to how people who blog find the time to write so much? I'm lucky to return emails within the same week much less find time to type up novels about everything that happens in my day or runs through my head. Much less recipes, there are lots that I'd love to share, but I really suck at blogging!
• The people who make the majority of baby clothes never had a baby!
• Enlightened once again to the battle going on constantly for our minds and our attention. Satan has quite the influence in this world and sometimes it is really hard to take every thought captive. This hit me again the other day when I was on a walk and saw a bumper sticker that read "One man can make a difference... Jesus did" and my immediate response was 'well He was God' and I had to stop to again realize that he was also fully human. Why is it my tenancy to have this view?
  
• Cooking/baking with real vanilla beans is so worth it.
• No matter how many times you try to discipline a cat, and different strategies you employ, you will always lose the battle to keep her off the table. At least this is how it goes in my life thus far. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
• Sleep is not so over rated anymore... I think I will always be tired. I'm resigning to not responding that I am tired when people ask how I'm doing, from this point forward if they don't know that already it's not worth me bringing up, it's just a fact of life that I need to grow to see past and find something new to *complain* about
  
• Being sick sucks!
• My house will never be clean... or stay clean for more than an hour after I've finished scrubbing, dusting, vacuuming, etc.
• We have too much stuff.
• People although all very similar are all quite different and unique.
  
• There will never be enough time to do all of the things I want to do. I don't know how anyone could ever be bored in this life.
