My Blog Needs a Good Name!

If you stop by every so often - not via Google Reader - you may have noticed the title of my blog has changed 3 times in the last week! I am just not satisfied with the name. "As for Me & My House" just seemed too generic. While I love the Bible verse, I just feel the phrase is overused somehow. Maybe "Me and My Haus"?? I'm trying to go with the Hutch HAUS theme.....

So, then I can't even remember what I tried next; it must have been bad! And now "From the Heart of My Haus"?? I dunno. I'm not sold on it.

SO: feedback? Ideas? Inspiration?? Anyone?? As if this is a world-changing decision - ha!! For all 3 of you readers out there, I'd love to have a GOOD NAME, a catchy name, a fitting name for my little piece of blogland - OH - I just remembered the other name I tried, "My Little Haus in Blogland" or something like that.

This is why I am not a professional marketing or advertising person. ZERO creativity talent for finding themes. I would have NEVER in a lifetime come up with "You're in good hands with Allstate" or "Melts in your mouth, not in your hands" or "L'oreal - because I'm worth it." I'm not that good.

Anyway:
I survived today. Contrary to yesterday when I knew NOTHING about what to do, today I knew half of what to do. Dan taught my Math class - and I went to get my hair done. No circumferences of circles for me today!! My son told me I was, however, a TERRIFIC Language teacher :) I'll take it. I don't need a degree to prove I can do that! (see yesterday's post)

Tomorrow I might even understand about 3/4 of what I'm doing with this group of kids. Don't get me wrong - I love these kids - they are interesting, amusing, and just a tad ridiculous (do you all realize how much LIP GLOSS, HAIR PRODUCTS, and BATH & BODY WORKS spray these 5th & 6th grade girls carry around in their purses - and how often they have to use these items??!!!). Oh my. I'm still not crazy about the "teaching" part; but we're going to get by. The teacher may find I have set her back a few weeks in lesson plans upon her return - but I kept the kids entertained anyway (and vice versa).

I've learned today (I feel obligated to say SOMETHING profound today) that it's a lot easier to just sit at home & do whatever you want to do or enjoy doing, but it's a lot more fulfilling to do something useful to help out when it's needed. Another Tuesday I will be able to "sit" at home & do what I want to do for my self and my own family; but for now, I'm fulfilling what I'm supposed to be doing for others. The experience of doing something I didn't really WANT TO DO has grown me another spiritual half an inch - which isn't much compared to the 400,000 feet I probably need to still stretch. Some day hopefully I'll be mature enough to see that it really isn't all about ME.

Thank for stopping by today - and if you have some sudden inspiration for a name for this blog, PLEASE leave me a comment. By the way, "Nut Haus" is NOT an option. (c:

It is well said...

I agree that I love the "Haus"--you must keep that! Maybe just "My Haus"...or "Our Haus (in the middle of our street?)" okay, that one was a joke.

I like the From the Heart of My Haus...

If I think up any clever Haus ideas, I'll share them!
