It is so quiet in my house right now. My kids are all in their rooms and the 2 that we care for are sleeping. I am enjoying the peace.
During the quiet time, I decided to read. I have been reading a great book called Captivating by John & Stasi Eldridge. It goes deep into unveiling the mysteries of a woman’s soul. There are many hidden hurts that cause us to be the way we are and working through this book has been tough but rewarding. I have been doing a book study group with some of my friends from church and it is nice to get with other women and talk about this book. I highly recommend this book and that you find a friend to read it with.
It is almost time for “naptime” to be over so the regular sounds of my house will be back soon. It was just so nice to have some peace and quiet for awhile. It is important for my sanity to have at least a few minutes of ME time in the middle of the day.
Tonight the kids and I are going to Olive Garden for my brother in law’s 40th birthday celebration. His birthday was Wednesday….Happy birthday Daniel! William can’t go with us because he has a security training at church. I may surprise the kids and take them to a movie afterwards…we shall see! It really depends on what is playing and what time we get done at Olive Garden.
I hope you have a great weekend! Make sure to spend some time with the important people in your life.
Sunday night I reminded Andrew that he had an appointment at the Dr. for his 8 yr check up and that he would be getting shots. He needed his flu shot and his chicken pox booster. He was not exactly happy about that.
Monday morning he woke up and told me that he had prayed that he would not have to get shots. I told him that we should pray that the shots would not hurt.
Well, we get to the Dr. and I notice that it says they are out of the flu shot so he will get the flu mist instead….ok, he got out of one but there is still the chicken pox booster. So, the nurse practitioner comes in and asks if we will be around anyone that is “immune compromised” such as someone with cancer. I said yes…my friend Samantha (the NP knows her) and she said that since Sam will be probably be having radiation then he couldn’t get the chicken pox booster either. Wow! God answered his prayer!
I know that God doesn’t always answer our prayers with the answer that we expect but I think it is pretty cool that He worked it out so that Andrew didn’t have to get the shots AND showed me that he is the ultimate authority and that I don’t know everything!
Have a great day 
I am sitting here at my children’s piano lesson listening to the youngest one receiving instruction from his teacher and I started thinking about a discussion my husband and I had yesterday about peanut butter and banana sandwiches….yes, strange topic!
Anyway, I was wondering, when you make a peanut butter & banana sandwich, do you slice the banana onto the bread or do you smash the bananas and spread them on? I want to know so leave a comment.
Wow! I am super excited! I just realized that I can actually post to my blog using my mobile phone! Woo-Hoo! Now I may actually update this thing more often because I hardly ever actually use my computer anymore since I have my email and internet explorer on my mobile. Don’t ya just love modern technology?
I am sitting here at the kitchen table waiting on my children to finish their breakfast so we can start school. We are running late today and I am really trying to be patient with them.
We have started watching another little girl that is 5. She is really sweet. I have not gone back into daycare full time. I am only watching the 1 yr old that I have had since birth and now this other little girl a few days a week. They both are children of friends.
William has had work to do and is getting more calls all the time. I am so proud of him!
My Discovery Toys business is great! I have new team members that are so excited about having this opportunity and their excitement keeps me excited! I love answering their questions and helping them with their new businesses. We are growing our team nationwide!
My friend Samantha (that I have mentioned many times! LOL) had surgery on Tuesday and I spent the day with her. She had thyroid cancer and had it removed. Praise God that it is taken care of. Her surgery was the same day as the Memphis tornadoes and we ended up sitting in the hallway at Baptist Memphis after her surgery waiting for the storm to pass. I have to say, I think the staff on the floor she was on was great! They were very calm and professional moving patients and visitors into the hall.
Tonight I am going to a book study at my friend Linda’s. We are going over the book called Captivating. It have read part of it already….wow! I have cried through a lot of it. Every woman should read this book!
Ok. The kiddos are ready for me now…..Off to math!
Have a joyful day!
