Really really random thoughts

• My root canal worked and I can chew on that side of my mouth for the first time in 5 years with NO PAIN!
  
• Vacation was wonderful. We saw sooo many things and people. I WILL blog about it all, but not tonight.
• I've been a recluse since getting back. I'm fighting an allergy/cold thing and I am just dead tired.
• I've also been a recluse because I am feeling like God is calling me to be home. Really home. Not "running around all the time and calling myself a stay at home mom" type home, but the real "I can make homemade bread and not worry about whether I'll be home when it needs to be punched down or go in the oven" type home. I'm trying to figure out what that looks like.
• And I've been a recluse because the thing I love most about being on vacation is the utter lack of connectedness with the frenetic pace of the outside world. In the Finger Lakes, life is just slower and I love it. It is balm to my soul. I'm trying to preserve that feeling a bit.
• And did I mention I'd dead tired?
• Oh, and we're poor.
• I'm thinking God may also be calling me to a business opportunity. I know that seems to run contrary to the above statements, and I don't think it's an immediate sort of thing, but it is the sort of thing I can do with the kids helping out...I'm just terrified of the potential "lose your shirt" risk that goes with starting a business.
• Did I mention we are already poor? So why not start a business?
  
• I don't want to hear about Michael Jackson again for a very long time.
  

Okay, that's it for now. I have to go cut up a peach for my son.
