Too Tired Mama

I've had this idea floating around in my head for Activity Days for a long time and I finally got around to doing it this week! For those who don't know, Activity Days is the name of the young girl's youth group at my church including ages 8-11, my group includes 8-9 year olds. Part 1 will talk about the spiritual thought/introduction to the activity, Part 2 will talk about instructions for extracting DNA from cheek cells and putting them in necklace pendants and Part 3 is what I would do differently next time. My DNA in a necklace. Part 1 We started with prayer and then I asked the girls if anyone knew what DNA was. We got a couple answers that were pretty close to what I was going for. I then gave a *very* basic outline of what DNA is; the bullet points I hit on were: *DNA is at the center of every cell in the body & is like an instruction book or blueprint about how our body develops and forms. *We get traits from our biological parents/grandparents/etc..

I claimed the name "Too Tired Mama" for my blog because at the time I was feeling too tired to do much of anything. Since then, I've been diagnosed with Lupus, among other things, which explains much of my fatigue and other issues. Modern medicine is amazing and treatment seems to be helping most of the time. In spite of my chronic & debilitating fatigue I always have a million ideas for projects floating around in my head that I'm simply too tired to do - most of the time. I'd like for this blog to be about the projects that I am able to get to between bouts of "Too Tired" (when I can remember, hahaha!) and whatever other topics on life & random subjects I feel inclined to write about. I won't promise consistent posts, but I will post when I can and I'll try to not be *too* boring.  ;)
