| There is currently a riot going on here at the New Castle Correctional Facility. Prisoners from Arizona evidently have a bone to pick with prisoners from Indiana. It's all over the news, and my phone has rung off the hook. Some have called, with fear in their voices, and understandably, some concern. Which brings these scriptures to mind.....I choose to rest in these.... 1 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. Romans 8:15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children.[a] Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”[b] | | |
| It has been brought to my attention that it's been WAAAAAAAAYYYY too long since I've posted on my Xanga, so here it goes. It's going to be short, but I will honestly try harder to at least do a weekly update. Karen is graduating soon and moving off to college..... Matthew is coming to the end of his first grade year..... Where does time go????? It was REALLY nice to see you Sarah...I hear we might be able to see more of you soon!?!? :) | | |

So here we are on Wed. morning, and I didn't blog any more yesterday. It turned out to be a day that I didn't plan. Ended up not going to mom and dad's office to work...took my aunt to the dentist to get her teeth cleaned, dropped her off at Walmart (her fav. place), and she would catch the bus home. Came home and had lunch with Mike, tried to get the rugrat to take a nap, (didn't work), went to the church to pick up some things, went to the cable company to pay the bill, picked up Karen, went to the grocery, came home for dinner, off to GriefShare mtg, and then home at 8:15 or so.....I slept like a baby last night. 
GriefShare was really good last night. Got some feedback from the ones attending, saying it has definitely helped them in their healing process. Praise God!! \O/ That's what it's all about! 
All the schools around us had a 2 hour delay this morning, but we didn't. It was just as cold this morning as it was on the days they delayed school a couple weeks ago for the cold weather....I don't understand how they make these decisions.....Karen was disappointed, of course! 
Matthew just crawled out of bed, and I actually got hugs &  this morning. (you never know with a 3 yo, huh?) So, we're going to get him dressed and head up to the office before anyone else calls! LOL!

Well, here it is Tuesday, and I've not read anyone's blogs, or shared anything in a few days. It was a pretty uneventful weekend, as I was dealing with extreme fatigue and feeling icky because of that hateful visitor! ICK! But she's made her way to another unsuspecting victim, and I feel energetic and rested once again! LOL!
I did lead worship Sunday at church, and it ended with such a presence of the Spirit! We sang "More Than Enough" acapella...very nice....very moving.
I know...this is boring, boring, boring. There are things I have to share, but I haven't the time to sit here for long, so maybe I'll have time late tonight.
Mike and I are doing well on our new healthier eating venture, though I think Mike is having a harder time giving up some things than I am....he's a much pickier eater, and I could eat just about anything...so......I need to make it more exciting for him maybe....
Okay, rambling now...got to get off here and get some more done. BBL.

It's Friday! ::::::doing the Friday dance::::::: Not that it means anything to me other than Mike and Karen being home with us during the day, and I get a little bit of breathing room from the human tornado. He's just so darn cute! Last night, he was asking me for some choc. milk. I told him "mommy said no more tonight, how about a drink of water?" He cocked his head to the side, "pweeeeease mommy?"!!!!! I didn't give in, and he had water, but I had to laugh at him! He's got my heart in knots one moment, and the next I'm ready to duct tape him to the wall!!! 
I stayed up WAY too late last night, but I wanted to go to bed with a tidy living room....toys picked up, straightened, and everything in its place. It felt so good this morning to wake up to that. Now...I just need to do that to EVERY room in this house. I'm hoping to get a good start on that this weekend. I'm pitching, organizing, sorting, and giving away. It helps that I'm feeling better emotionally and not so tired. I got a good night sleep last night. I have been having such sleepless nights that I took some Excedrin PM last night....I feel so much more rested this morning. I needed that.
Lots of errands to run today. I had told mom I may come up and work in the office today, but I just have too much to do, and then have to be back in time to pick up Karen from school...I'll just start back in the office next week. And next week, I'll have to work every day...it's crunch time. (for those of you who don't know, my mom and dad own a motorcoach tour company, and it's time for their catalog to go out...and it's not finished yet....therefore, we'll be busting our tails next week to get it out! LOL!)
This morning's blog is about a whole lot of nothing.
A few thoughts.....
Mike and I have decided two important things. First, we're doing this healthy eating, changing our lifestyle TOGETHER from now on. Second, we're going to join the YMCA. I'll be able to go work out for 30 min. or so a day, with childcare provided, and it will have many benefits. I'll get the exercise I so desparately need, I'll get some adult interaction during the day, Matthew will have other kids to play with. YEA!! So...I'm calling and getting details in a bit. Karen will be excited. We haven't told her yet.
Guess I'd better get on the ball now...I could sit here and ramble all day. Guess I'd better not.
Have a blessed, wonderful day in the Lord!!
