Not so sure...

...how many people actually read this any more, but I love keeping a blog and find it so much fun. Though I love updating etc, I have decided to take a nice long break from the computer. Period. Blog sites, facebook, e-mail etc...(except for some of the necessary things I need to do on e-mail) I don't know for how long, but it won't be too terribly long, But long enough! :) I just have alot of other things I could be doing, rather than spending it responding to e-mails, writing blog posts etc... Such as, getting all my thankyou cards out from graduation....back in JUNE. It's HORRIBLE how behind I am in that, and I am sooo ashamed.
So, I just thought I would post something about me leaving on here....I don't care to do too much on facebook.
Which brings me to another thought. I am thinking of getting my ears pierced. What is your opinion (if anyone still reads this...) of getting that done? I am in the middle....So, if you want to help me out by telling me what you think, or telling me no, or yes, please do! :)
Well, I hope everyone has a most blessed few weeks, and a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas if I am not on before then.
Till then--here is a pic of all four of us the other day....I triiiied to get a decent picture... :-p :) I love these kids so much!

A rough day and a barn dance

Today there was three part harmony going on with the kids. Which one did I tend to first? The baby because he was being hit with a big bouncy ball on the head? Nathan because he was hitting him and I scolded him? Or Holland who was trying to locate her elephant, and much to her dismay could NOT find it?
I can't remember which one I went to first....because it was all just so loud and chaotic. The morning didn't seem to go well from there on....but we made the best out of it. And when lunch time came around and everyone had food in their bellies, we were all happy campers. Even this "little" guy.

Next time I need to remember not to forget the bib. Once he was done with his food, he proceeded to try and eat his socks. But is he not just the cutest thing you ever did see? :)
On Saturday, Maddie, Johnnie and I had the privilege to attend a barn dance. Just down the road from our house, about five minutes away. It was quite fun!
Before we went I insisted on getting some photos. :)

I am in love with the pictures of Maddie and Johnnie. The sun was juuust beginning to set, so it made for wonderful lighting! :)

And yes, there was dancing. :)

Well, just thought I'd share.
Have a most blessed week!

I couldn't resist this snapshot. Thank you Lord for cameras!!! :)

Rainy, rainy, rainy....

I wake up to the rain and I go to sleep with the sound of it over top of me on our metal roof.
This morning...
I was startled awake to the melodious sound of Coldplay's "clocks" playing, and I struggled to find my phone and shut it off. As I slowly came to I strained my ears to hear any noise outside. Sure enough, I hear the sound of the rain falling gently onto the roof above me. The sound is so peaceful, and it sounds as if the rain was updating me on all that had happened since i had fallen asleep around 10:30 the night before. Just listening to it made me wanna crawl back under my purple and green blankets and sleep the day away. But alas, that could not happen. I get up and start my day even though my bed was calling my name....rather loudly I might add. (so rude....considering that the rest of the house was still sleeping, with the exception of my dad.)
That is how my last two mornings have started.....The rain has seriously not stopped in two days. There are puddles everywhere, and I have a really strong urge to go dance in the rain, or just run wild out side for a bit, like I used to do when I was younger. But, I know if I did that, all three kids would beg to be able to do it with me...and I don't want to get in trouble with their mom!
I know I won't be able to go my regular way back home because there was this one flooded section in the road on my way here this morning...and with the rate the rain has been falling all day, I am sure it will not be safe to drive through tonight.
I went out a bit ago and took some pictures....just because I couldn't resist. I had my jean jacket thrown over my camera, and somehow managed to take a few decent pictures.
I love rainy days. Even if it does mean being stuck in the house for two days.

These are all taken outside of the house that I work at.
Have a blessed day everyone!!!
And thanks for your prayers...I am all better now. :) No more swine flu, and thankfully I was the only one who got it in my family! Thank you, Lord!!
Fire is going and now everything is nice and cozy! :)

Today was beautiful...

And I didn't get to enjoy it. :(
This morning I woke up at 6:30 cause my coughing was so bad, and my head felt like it was going to explode. I knew I still had thirty min to take some ibproufen and lay back down for a bit before I really had to be so i could go to work. So, I took my ibproufen, and went back to my bed. Didn't sleep but rested a bit. I came back out to the kitchen at seven and mom looked at me and said that she was going to take my temperature. It winds up that I had a pretty high fever, so I was sent back to bed. But I didn't go willingly cause I knew I had work, and I couldn't afford to get sick!
Well, mom said I had the flu. So I called Melanie and told her I wasn't coming in today, and thankfully, she understood! I was so relieved. But I couldn't shake of the awful feeling, of "I'm sick, and there's no one to take my place. I CAN'T be sick...." But I was...and Melanie insisted that I go get tested for the swine flu.
Mom and I headed to the dr at 9:10, even though I would have much rather have stayed inside....but I went. When you walk into the office, they ask you to wear a mask if you think you have the flu. I thought they looked ridiculous, so I didn't wear it, but I brought one home.
An hour later, after a nose swabbing, temperature check, weight check, blood pressure check, height check, ears and throat and nose check, and lots of questions later, etc etc etc...I was diagnosed with the swine flu, and a bad case of it apparently. Blaaaah. So, I've been stuck in bed all day. But I've done lots of reading, and some sleeping. I just can't get comfortable, I'm so achy and my head and chest hurt so badly, and when I move I start coughing. Definitely not fun.
But I like having a thermometer around me....it gives me something to do....so i check my temperature alot. Cause I'm bored! I don't know if it's bad to do it fairly often but oh well.
Anyway...I am not quite sure whyyy I wrote a post on me being sick, but if you could pray that the rest of my family stays healthy that would be fantastic!! And for my dad cause he is on a buisness trip to Las Vegas right now. But thank you Lord for sending someone to cover for me this whole week while I can't work! My friend, Lauren M. is graciously going to be doing my job for the rest of the week...she is a saint! :)
Take care and have a blessed week!

me and my mask... ....have to have something to entertain myself.
