PRIORITIES...the root word being "prior" or what comes before, or first. The ability to properly prioritize is huge and in my case needs some fine tuning!

I almost forgot about God completely and made the husband my higher power. I expected him to save me from all life threw at me. Unrealistic expectations. I no longer have my husband. My family broken. Distractions are easy to have and they quickly blindside us without our realization. I do not blame God for this anymore. I do believe He was trying to show me where my priorities were. I still have hope that my family will be restored now that my perspective is in the proper place. Keep me in your prayers! Not pointing this anywhere...just stating my experiences. Jen-

I may have to demote my marriage to a B. :-( And a note on my grades - these are in comparison to no one; simply to my ideals of what I think is the best that God intends for my life.

I'm doing better with meals already! It's the vegetables that earned me a "C" - two of my kids just don't like to eat their veggies! And I'm not consistent or persistent enough to make a big change...BUT, I am really committed to doing better. Just last night I made my 3 yr old eat his salmon, rice, and corn, even though he *cried* through the whole meal. :-) Mrs. Darling, nice job! I hope to be a straight A student again very soon. :-) And honestly, it depends on which day I grade myself and what state of mind I'm in at the time of examination! e-Mom, yep, a little extra effort!

For that I gave both of those a B. Husband and God are not demanding so they easily get left behind. Im working on both.

Otherwise, you seem to be doing just fine to me. :~) Tonight, I linked to your piece, "Project Generation Connections." Thanks for the inspiration!
