Three-Year Old Behavior

I think I have said this before, but I work with 3-year olds. I have watched them carefully and observed their behavior. Here are some of the things I have noticed.

Three-Year Olds & Friendship
Three-Year Olds & Their Imaginations
Three-Year Olds & Bossiness
Three-Year Olds & "Do It Again"

P.S. My husband is always telling me that I act like a 3-three year old (even before I begin working with them). I have noticed from the above that I do. It's so crazy.

See what other wonderful things 3-year olds do, click here.

Feeling Blah!

I had some other stuff to write about today, but I am feeling kind of blah right now. I think I have caught Spring Fever. I have Spring Break next week. I am trying to figure out something to do next weekend. I really want to get out of town.

It isn't like I can go to a beach or something for the week. I just wanna get out of the house.

Allergies
My allergies have been irritating me all day. My eyes, ears, and throat have been itchy all day. I have been scratching all day. I am trapped in a building. I want to go outside, but I am scared to be out there for more than 20 minutes because I might end up regretting it.

I am beginning to think that I need a chocolate fix. The nurse at my school is selling chocolate bars for her son. I bought a couple of them. I am seriously considering eating on of them. I am not into to whole chocolate thing. I am not even into sweets. I very rarely eat chocolate. I eat sweets even less, which is odd because my brothers and sister eat sweets like it is going out of style.

Siblings
Speaking of siblings, all of them have MySpace pages, Jerry, Kevin, Jeremy, and Alisha (in order of birth after me). I was the last one to get one and I am the oldest. (Please note that I am not responsible for anything that appears on any of their pages. Jerry's page is not bad. He is a preacher.) I can only control what appears on my page.) Anyway, I got a MySpace page so that I could talk to my little sister. She never answers her phone and I don't know her email address. (I am so off topic. Anyway.) My sister has posted some silly comments on my page. She is my baby.

Free Writing
I am really free writing right now. I am just typing what pops in my head. I haven't done that in awhile. I have been writing more structured stuff.

(She knows she can get up, so what is she waiting for.)

Gossip (Short Stories) & Gossiping
I have been working on My Short Story Series: Gossip. It is turning out rather nicely. It is crazy how much church folk gossip, especially preachers. Church folk sure can talk about each other, under the guise of "sharing" information, telling people what to pray for, or a combination of both. If I hear one more person say, "I am just sharing so that we will know what to pray for," I am gonna scream. It is just flat out gossiping, plain and simple. I had to be delivered from gossiping. I still have yet to figure out how I got so caught up in gossiping, too.

I did not grow up in an atmosphere of gossiping. My mother does not gossip. She does not find out the latest gossip until it is two years old. No joke, I am serious. My taught my brother and I not to gossip. (For clarification purposes, my father has three different sets of children, Jerry and I, Kevin, Jeremy and Alisha, in case anyone was wondering.)

I got caught up in gossiping so quickly at my last church that I was a full fledge gossip before I even realized I was a gossip, by then, I was in too deep. I was gossiping with the leadership of the church, high ranking leadership. It was referred to as VERIFYING INFORMATION that was already known. Basically, I would go verify some information for another person. Oddly enough, I had access to resources where I could verify the information.

Once I was able to get out of the web of gossip, I laid before God, cried, and repented like crazy. I felt so bad for getting tangled up in that sin. Sin will suck you in and make a fool out of you.

I guess I am pretty much through free writing for now.

It felt good to get that out of my system.

Writing

Wow! On last night, I wrote over 2,000 words for my Gossip Series. I was rather impressed. I sat at my computer and got into a groove and wrote like crazy. My husband put on some Fred Hammond and we praised the Lord as he washed dishes and I typed on my computer. It was refreshing to actually pound out some words. I came up with some new stories to add to the Gossip series. I added Transformed and Another Convert. I hope my muse continues to flow.

Gossiping Thoughts

I am currently working on a series of short stories entitled, Gossip. I was just thinking about gossip as I typed up one of the stories. It is amazing how quickly a Christian can get caught up into gossip. I know from experience.

I did not grow up in a gossiping household. We did not do taht. Even now, my mother is the last person to know any kind of gossip. Once it gets to her, it is usually 6 months old. We did not have a gossiping spirit at our church either.

At one of my more recent church homes, I became caught up in gossiping. It was easy to do because the pastor has a gossiping spirit, and the whole church has that same spirit, but they call it "SHARING INFORMATION." That's a load of bull because it is flat out talkign about people.

My brother and I happen to know some people, who know some people, who know some more important people. So, we have access to some of the top gossip about well known people in the religious arena. My brother and I got caught up into gossiping with the pastor. We were the ones who verified any gossip that he heard. We got deep into it, too.

In all honesty, it was fun being the one who knew the gossip. I ain't even gonna lie. That was a rush, to have people coming up to me and saying, "Is it true, what I heard about SO IN SO?" It felt good. (Sin is fun and it feels good for awhile.)

Things turned bad when my brother and I were the ones on the receiving end of the gossip. (Read a little about that here.) It is a lot more fun telling the gossip than it is being the one who talked about. Lord, have mercy.

Now, I am no longer into gossiping. I have to pray though, because it is hard to resist wanting to know more when someone says, "Have you heard what happened to SO IN SO?" It takes a lot to not say, "What happened?"

Be careful what you say about others. Someone may end up talking about you.
