What a week

This week has been interesting to say the least.

I woke up last Saturday very tired. Sleep seemed like heaven and I could not get enough. Staying up late is a hobby of mine. I wanted to go to sleep at 7.

Sunday morning I woke up with labored breathing. I could feel the crud filling up my lungs. Mucinex was the answer.

Monday I woke up not feeling better. I went to the doctor who was convinced I had the flu. I told her I had never had the flu but it didn't feel like the flu. I thought I might have bronchitis. She told me that I didn't complain enough. She said that I had many symptoms that were much worse that I let on.

She tested me and I had bronchitis. She put me on an inhaler and sent me home.

The same day hubby got a call from his boss. Our intuition was right and he got laid off from his job. We really have faith that this will be okay. We are in a strange limbo but know we will be fine.

I think most people are waiting for this to hit us hard. I know it is hard to believe but there is no doubt. We will be fine. We might have to make sacrifices but we are blessed and know, with out a shadow of doubt, that life will go on. We don't need anything but each other.

Tuesday I came down with a cold on top of the bronchitis. I was not a pretty sight.

Wednesday we were all iced in. There was an ice storm and the town shut down. It was nice for all of us to be together. I do wish I had felt better so I could have enjoyed everyone more, but I loved being with them.

Thursday I was supposed to judge the science fair. I was far to sick to go. My friend Ann stepped up and helped me. I was so grateful.

Friday I was able to get out of my slump a little. I woke up and got baby girl ready for school. I went and set up breakfast for the teachers, then came home and rested.

Today I have decided to not be sick anymore. I still feel a little under the weather but I will forge on. The time limit is up on my cold. ;)

Here is a video of baby boy playing wii boxing.

OUCH!

Baby girl jumped off the swing right after I told her not to. Look what happened. (I didn't hold back on the I told you so)

Hair cut

My hair cut. I had about 8 inches cut off.

Chicken Little

Tomorrow is inauguration day. It is a momentous day for us all. So why do we have thousands of Chicken Littles running around? (the sky is falling)

This is really bothering me. Especially coming from people who have faith in God. I expect more from them.

Most Christians I know pray that the Lord put the person in office that he wants there. Then when God does this they start to question him.

I have complete faith that God is in control.

Do I care if a person agrees with Obama's politics? No. I just want them to give it a chance.

Blog like a Ninja

Christmas gift projects


My new coat. Thanks Bana and Petes. Sorry it took so long to get the picture up.

I picked up a bunch of snacks for the kids. I washed them and set them out pretty. The kids got really excited and all the blueberries, half the strawberries, 1 orange, two apples, and a bunch of grapes are now gone. I got this today. :) When you wash fruit and make it pretty the love it. I am keeping it out on the table for them.

Plead and tooth

Baby girl wrote us this letter. We covered up the names but we thought it was funny.

Translation: Dear Mommy and Daddy,
can me and [babyboy] have later we have the same bed time as last year. When I am in bed I am not tired. And of course he brother is playing in his bed.
Love, [Babygirl]
Baby girl lost her top front tooth today.

Our New years eve party.

Christmas

Finally my new cord to my laptop got here. Now I can upload the pictures.

Some of the pictures are fuzzy. I think somehow I manage to slide the shutter to the wrong settings.









Happy birthday mom!
