Who? Me??

I was told the other day that I was prolific. Seriously? Me? I know that it was a compliment...but being the simple-minded being that I am, I wasn't exactly sure what that meant.

So I did what I tell my kids to do when they don't know what something means, I googled it. (We live in the year 2010, people. Who needs a dictionary?!) This is what it said:

1. producing offspring, young, fruit, etc., abundantly; highly fruitful.

2. producing in large quantities or with great frequency; highly productive..

With a definition like that, I would say there are many parts of my life that are prolific.

* By society's standards, I produce offspring abundantly. We aren't the Duggars, but our house is full. Full and fulfilling.

* I am able to produce laundry in large quantities. That being said, I wouldn't say that I am highly productive by any stretch of the word. On the contrary. I have an extra large capacity washer and dryer that feels like zero capacity. What ever happened to clothes lines?

* Laughter is abundant in my house. And it happens quite frequently.

* Pancakes. I am really good at making large quantities of pancakes at a freakishly fast rate.

* Apparently I have been very productive at producing broken arms this summer, making our pediatrician quite fruitful.

* I am able to produce unmatched socks....in abundance...too much abundance.

* Cups...cups...and more cups. Did I mention cups?

* Not much success with the garden unless you count weeds....I can grow those with my eyes closed. I am that good!

So you see, though my dear friend was commenting on my ability to come up with things to blubber about on my blog, he helped me to see that I am living the abundant life!

Now, for those cups....
