I have no idea what it means to shake a stick at something and why that somehow connotates a vast amount. It's just something we say in the south.
My floor has more dirt needing to be swept than you can skake a stick at.
My hair has more frizz today than you can shake a stick at.
My tooth that broke while eating lettuce last night is causing more pain than you can shake a stick at.
Just in case you were wanting to educate yourself on southern sayings. And yes, all those things are true about my life today. But never fear while I'm at the dentist getting drilled, filled and crowned, I have something much more fun for you to particpate in!

It's the Proverbs 31 Ministries Give Away Carnival!
I'm giving one lucky winner.... A Mom's Book Club gift pack including 4 copies of Lysa's book, "Am I Messing Up My Kids?" and a 30-minute Q&A conference call with me.
If you've ever struggled with yelling at your kids or feeling like the worst mom ever, this gut honest book will be just the soothing encouragement your weary soul needs. I write not from the perspective of a mom who has it all together but rather as a mom who desperately needs God's tender mercies every single day.
This would be the perfect book with which to host a Mom's book club both for your church and unchurched friends. That's why I'm giving one person who leaves a comment today 4 copies of "Am I Messing Up My Kids?" and a Q&A conference call for your group.
