Think Before You Speak

Even though my kids will probably give me lots of material for blogging over the next few weeks, I doubt I'll have much extra time. When I do write, chances are it will be about the house. Just know that my kids will be in chaos mode because they don't do well with change or the unknown. I don't either, so it will be a learning curve for all of us.


Meanwhile, here's a fun story that has nothing to do with the house.


 It's ironic that I was just telling someone the other day that I always think before I speak. Apparently, I didn't think on Tuesday.  I was drinking coffee before bible study with some ladies I know and one that I didn't know. She was kind of quiet so I asked her some questions about herself. After she told me she was married and had a son, I was asked about my family. I was thinking about all the people usually in my house: the kids, Gerald, Steve, Buddy the dog. So before I really though about how it would sound, I simply said, "I have six kids, a husband, a boyfriend and a dog."  Totally sounded like the boyfriend was mine instead of Brittney's!!!


Teach me to speak before I think! Gave them all a good laugh though :)
