I am thinking...a somewhat disastrous weekend…Yes we met with a church and that went great BUT I got some sort of stomach bug Saturday morning while we were still there..Then Hubby got it last night..In the words of Lady Bug Ucky Yucky!!! I am thankful for…Peptobismol…enough said!!! From the learning rooms…Nothing I feel somewhat yucky still From the kitchen...Whatever i can scrounge up! I am wearing…Blue jeans, blue hoodie, blue socks with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger on them…anyone catch the theme? I am creating...earrings for Christmas presents I am going…bed tonight and NOWHERE ELSE until Wednesday!! I am reading...Prayer by Philip Yancey and the Bible Psalms I am hoping…The kids don’t catch this awful thing!! I am hearing…the hum of the computer! and me typing away!!! Around the house…general straightening…OH And LAUNDRY…our dryer got fixed on Friday YAY!! One of my favorite things…Christmas music! A few plans for the rest of the week...get better! Here is picture thought I am sharing… Camping this summer the vug wouldn’t sty on the blanket..He loved the grass!! A far cry from when I was a baby. My mom has told me i would cry and cry when my bare skin touched the grass it scared me!!

My Walk Monday

I know I know it’s been a while ! Sorry!

Anywho let’s get with it Today because I can’t go back in time and I can’t go forward to the future i can only deal in the here and now.

I have a few thoughts and they will be brief since i feel queezy!

Last night in church there arose some discussion on the predictability of God…

Can God be Predictable?

My answer NO…We can know who God is. We can understand his Character, His personality traits through Scripture BUT We cannot know the who, what, where, when, why, or How of his plans. Only he does. However we can be CONFIDENT that his Character qualities will be evident as he works out those things which He has done, is doing, and will do! God IS consistent!

Those things are truth!

VETERAN’S DAY 2008

I live in a family full of Veterans. Two grandfathers who served in war time…WW2 One who saw fighting first hand and was awarded the purple heart. To the day he died he carried a piece of that war in his leg. My other grandfather had a huge responsibility of feeding the troops..yes he was a cook!!! 5 out my moms 7 brothers served in various branches of the military and my own two young brothers have served in the Army and the Air Force. Army guy has served 3 six month terms in Iraq from 2003 to 2005. He no longer is in the Army but Air Force Guy is still in. He has worked in the medical field (not what he wanted) but now he is transferring to a Plane mechanics position. I am so proud of both of my brothers and of all my uncles and my grandfathers! Not to mention I have scores of friends who have served…so to all of them THANKS !!!!

FOR TODAY (Nov 10, 2008)…

Outside my window…Light flurries. It’s a gray smug sort of morning!

I am thinking…It was a good wekend but we didn’t get as much done as I would have liked!

I am thankful for…A NEW DISHWASHER!! I have never had one before. It is such an incredible blessing!!! ( It was FREE)

From the learning rooms…We are moving classes from today tomorrow since we do three days of Pre-K work. We are going to talk about Veteran’s day..Since Tornado’s uncle is a Veteran and he has another uncle in the Air Force!

From the kitchen…Chicken salad for hubby lunch and I am not quite sure what is for dinner yet…Maybe chili since it’s such a cold cold day!

I am wearing… Light blue hoodie, blue sweatpants sock and sneakers and I am sporting a new hair cut!!

I am creating…Quilling projects. I will Post tomorrow what they look like..Does anyone other than me know what quilling (not quilting) is?

I am going… to go away with hubby on Friday night into Saturday to meet with a new church a few hours away! AND THE KIDS AREN”T GOING!!!

I am reading…PRAYER by Philip Yancey and psalms in the Bible

I am hoping…for warmer weekend days so hubby can get windows in the den replaced

I am hearing…the sound of a HARD HAT HARRY video in the background

Around the house…well we didn’t get to ripping the den apart this weekend so that needs to be done, general straightening and Putting massive piles of clothes away!

One of my favorite things…people who are generous to others. We were the recipient of one of those generosities last night at church. A guy at a church has a tree farm and he gave us a free Christmas tree…A fresh one. Well it was a piece of paper telling us he was giving us one! We have to go pick it out. We have a fake one but I LOVE REAL Christmas trees!!

A few plans for the rest of the week: House back in shape and get the dryer fixed!! I can’t do laundry with out a dryer…if I hang out my laundry now..they won’t dry, they will freeze!

Here is picture thought I am sharing…
The HARD HAT HARRY video in the background…I have learned so much about big farms from the video…and it’s meant for little kids!! LOL!!
