Ever be talking to someone and they start in on things you just do not need or want to know? Personal things?  Been there myself However, this is not the too much information I am talking about.

I subscribe to a number of blogs. I prefer to follow by email as when they are on my home page if igoogle I sometimes forget to look at them. Following by email has them all in my inbox. I read one and maybe they recommend another blog, or run a contest for another blog and then I am off looking at that blog (who then in turn has some interesting info from another blog and so it goes)

This morning I was reading a blog in my email and had to go to their page to finish the post. Another annoyance, why have email subscription for your blog if you only send a sentence or two out?  Many times I delete this without reading as my reason for subscribing to email is to read it there and not have to jump all over the internet. Once in the while I am taken by the few sentences and do go to their blog. As I was doing this today I was getting a lot of info and ended up going to someone else’s website etc.

Coming back to my email and reading on I realized how much information is out there in these blogs and from informational newsletters. My mind got boggled (no does not take much and this was much!)

I sew, machine embroider and like to find thrifty ways of doing household things. I have an email for my sewing and blogs/newsletters that are in these categories. I also lump all blog followings except embroidery into this email address. I have another email address for embroidery groups and blogs. (Along with a business email, a personal email and my .com emails.)

As I was going through the first one this morning and saw all the tutorials for cute sewing projects, all the ideas for household thriftiness and  homeschool info I realized I was info overload. Too much info for the brain to handle!

It is all good. Some of those ideas I can use here at home, some for my business that I am working on and some just good to know.

Now what am I going to do with it all? I want to remember it but this old brain has me limited.

How do you keep things organized and available when there is so much you do want to use and remember?

Since I last posted I have changed hosting and still trying to figure it all out. As I type things do not look the same so I guess I need to find my addons etc. Bear with me while I figure it all and try to get things going again.

I am so thankful to Eugene of twentypointnine.com and highly recommend him for any work you may need done! He has stuck with my DAHness with signing in and working this all out.

Thanks Eugene!

And we still have mice!  EEEK!

Since my house is pretty well cluttered and torn up right now there are a zillion hiding places for those little creatures. This morning I got this from someone:

Mouse

I think that is what is going on here! They get where the cats can’t reach them. Eating  the bait off the traps they walk away. Now I see why!

Our cats are all hunters. We see the evidence when they are out in the pasture or under the house, but only once have we found one of these creatures caught in the house. These poor cats sit ans wait, hunt, wait by the frig while one is under it but no catch!

Maybe once the house has more done they will, once again, be able to reach these mice. I must say, I am glad they are mice and not the opossum family we had a few years ago!

I usually do not get political but watching what is happening in our country has been getting to me. Today this video came to me and I thought I would share it. Not going to write much, but ask you to think about what you can do to help bring our country back to where what our God fearing founding fathers hoped it would be.

Don’t ya love getting a “well, dah” when you say something? Today it happened in the car. I was telling Miss 5 year old that when we got back she had to take a nap especially  since she wanted to go to tumbling class. She decided she did not want to go. I informed her that she was still taking a nap just a longer one if she was not going to class. The conversation went on when suddenly I got the “dah”.  Grammie does not deal well with the “dah” and I told her so. I told her she was being very disrespectful. From there the conversation went to what does that mean, why is it wrong and many other questions. All the explanations finally ended with a very proper and polite apology.

I got to thinking about “dah” and how many times we use it or hear it. We have “dah” moments (used to be called senior moments or slip our mind moments) now they are “dah”. We use it sarcastically when someone says something that we already knew, being as rude as Miss 5 yr. old was to me.

I began to wonder about how many “dah moments” I have allowed in my life over the years. How many times has the right thing been there in front of me and I did something else or nothing and then thought of it later. OR worse yet, did not think of it later and never learned from it?

Today I was reminded again of remembering to watch my mouth, my mind and my actions. Not only are there other ones watching, but God is watching. Wonder how many times He has said “dah” about me?
