Wow i have been out of the saddle in a while. I have felt bad about not blogging in a while, but I have been combating numerous different issues both with the pregnancy and with life in general. I have been away from home every weekend the last month some of those were without hubby and the kids. this past weekend was such a weekend. I went to a ladies retreat with my mother-in law. What a disaster that turned out to be. We ended coming home early because I was sicker than sick. I am pretty sure I had a pretty bad case of food poisoning and lost a couple of pounds in a day! So my tackle it for this Tuesday morning is to get prepared for tomorrow and Thursday when I go in to speak to my Mother-in-laws 6th grade home and careers class about babysitting. would gladly accept any insights as to what you look for in a baby sitter.
Wordless Wednesday #15
It’s hard to believe that this picture was taken almost 10 months ago! He was so little and he will be two on Friday! This was the day Ladybug was born. and she is motoring all over the house. Crawling and climbing and i found her perched on the first step yesterday. Just as proud as could be!
Prayer request!
My youngest brother who shall go by Soldier has been intensely touched by the recent killings and capture of the troops who were from Fort Drum NY. This was his home base for four years. He is 24 years old and has lost two close friends who were killed. And have two more friends who are in captivity. Now at this point, I must say if anyone feels the need to post anti-war comments I will use discretion and delete those that i see fit. I am in whole and complete favor of the war. My brother’s testimony of the changes he has seen in his 3 six month terms in Iraq notes that amazing transformation. So therefore unless you have been there yourself I have no need for speculated or media driven comments that have been proven to be clearly one sided. So that being said, here is the details of the request. He is suffering from guilt due to the fact that he wasn’t there to help. This is very common for every war or military action throughout all of history. He also is feeling horrible that he will not be able to attend the memorial services at Fort Drum. He has received a lot of contact from both fort drum officials, other military buddies and from some of his buddies wives. It’s not like normal life where guys only stay connected with their guy friends but also with their whole family. They are just friends either. They are family who have experienced some very tragic experiences. And just like a true family who goes through real trauma and survive the come out stronger and closer than ever before. Thank you for your prayers at this very difficult time for him!And please take a minute to listen to Michael W. Smith’s Song FRIENDS which Soldier just told me that in chapel at basic training they would sing this to those graduating and leaving boot camp. These friends are graduating…hopefully into glory
Did you ever feel…….
like a really bad mom because you fed your kids lunch and put them down for their afternoon nap by 10:40. Well I have decided how bad I feel about that right now because I just did it. I need a nap and some quiet. It’s was a really hard morning with the washing machine, the dryer and numerous other kitchen gadgets running so I could get life in order. I also had the radio on for Tornado who loves any and all kind of music. Lady bug wouldn’t drink her formula so she screamed. I took her up to her room for a while so she could decide if she wanted to eat or not. She back back down about 45 minutes later and drank it all but a little bit and then had 2 helpings of baby cereal. Tornado has done nothing but whine for the last three days. He had an accident that has just made him whiny. So as you can see I was and still am pretty stressed not to mention my upper back and neck are completely out of whack and I have had a low dull headache today. And all I have to say is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Is anyone elses day been like this!
