To follow up from my last post, it turns out that serpentine belts and tensioners don't care much for that charming Texas sand. My van was towed to Waco where PepBoys worked their magic and had us on our way a mere 4 hours behind schedule. There were no further incidents, mechanical or otherwise, and we got home a little past 10pm. Tired, but none the worse for the wear.
In other news, my watch has returned to me. It was vacationing in the bottom of the mesh bag we take to the pool. Still no iPod, but I haven't given up hope.
And lastly, I will be shutting the blog down on Monday. I have done a very poor job of disciplining myself to only read and post when my other responsibilities have been met, and I am ashamed. Evidently I lack the maturity, wisdom and intestinal fortitude to blog responsibly. It's time to quit.
I have enjoyed (too much, it seems) my time in Blogdom and I've made some Friends in Real Life that I hope to have until Jesus returns. I hope to be able to continue to occasionally read and comment, so keep your eyes peeled for my glamorous profile photo. :~D I am encouraged, enlightened, challenged, convicted and cheered by the things I read on blogs. I am inspired by the women who are able to write so engagingly and still manage their homes and serve their families. Maybe, when I grow up, I'll be like that.
Until then I remain
For Christ and His Kingdom,
Clemntine

While I'll certainly miss you, D. I also totally understand. It's a fine line to walk, this blogging thing while still maintaining a home and family.
Don't be a stranger around my place. :-)
Love and hugs,
Diane
Ah Clem ... I'll miss you horribly. But, I get it. I've done some bloggy reorganizing as well, and it's been a life saver.
You've really impacted me. YOu will be missed :)
Oh Clementine! Say it aint so!
I will miss you!
Come back! Come back! Come back!
Diane
WOW. I totally understand. In fact, this makes me chuckle, because I have a post up and ready to go about this very topic. You will be missed immensely. Sniff.
cue music: how sad I am; how sad I am. Nobody knows how sad I am.
fade music.
totally understand your need to refocus. I'll miss you terribly, though. Thanks for the reminder to put what's first, first. (((hugs))) Gretchen
You have an open invitation at A Complete Thought for any hankering you get to guest blog. Clemntine, your writing is such a bright spot. I pray that you will be able to continue in His timing.
Oh Clem...I will miss your sense of humor and your delightful personality, but you know whats best for you and your family and that's most important. I still will probably bug you every now and then on the e-mail. :)
*sniffle* there are no words....
I'll miss you!
I am glad you and your family got home safely and in one piece. I only recently discovered your blog and will miss your humor, but I fully understand that your family needs to come first. Have a great rest of the summer!
**snif**
Now how am I gonna find ya when we move back to Okie-land?
I'll miss your humor...
Hugs and understanding, though...

I will miss your writing, but I'm glad I don't have to entirely miss you! Thanks for having lunch with me; let me know when you're ready for more soup. =)
PS I do think you maybe need one last post with the story behind your school picture. It's hilarious.
OH NO! I'm going to miss you, Clem. You make me laugh. I understand, though.
Aw, that makes me sad. You've been a great source of encouragement and humor. God bless!
Oh, Clem! And we just started being friends. I will miss you, terribly, my fellow Okie, and I hope to see you around the way.

You are truly a gifted writer and I will miss your unique perspective and laugh-out-loud witty posts. I can't tell you how I respect your decision and though selfishly I hope you will return (sooner rather than later) I know God will honor your desire to serve Him above all. Be blessed!

I'll miss you too! :o)
Oh! I will miss you so much! But the Lord will reward your decision. Blessings on you and your family!
Yeah...I'm right behind you.
You first.
On the count of 3...
Ready?
Seriously though...don't take it all away, o.k.? Just put the mouse down and back away from the blog. Leave us the archives to read. Please?
Oh my darlin' Clemntine! I'll miss you!
I hate to see you go, but I do understand.
You will be missed!
