That didn't make sense.


Got up, went to town, came back, cleaned the kitchen, put dinner in the crock pot (BBQ ribs), took a nap, got up again, fixing to go get dad.

Today, tomorrow and Monday left on these steroids. And I am still starving to death. Can't eat, can't eat, can't eat. I keep telling myself that. Gotta wait till mealtimes and eat reasonably.


Lord. It's crazy what pills do to your body. This is why I'm so against them and only take them when I HAVE to.

Man, Disney lied!  Wishing for something hard enough does NOT make it come true.  I should sue.

I gotta go clean the church today.  I'm SO glad this week isn't in the hundreds! 

I went to old navy to get one of thise jersey skirts with the V pattern & they are to the middle of my shins!  Apparently I'm a midget.  Their long ones are also too long.  I tried one on & had to hike it up to empire waiste for it to only go to the floor... Lol

HELP!!  I'm shrinking!!!

They fit me perfectly  Granted I'm also the tallest lady at church. Especially if I'm wearing heels. I've learned it helps when worshipping. Instead of everyones arms hitting each others, mine are all above everyone elses head/reach 

Made it through the work week. I refuse to call the majority of my fellow employees 'coworkers'. That would imply that they actually work.

Southern Gospel night at church wasn't too bad. But I did request that we do Black Gospel night soon  I think everyone under 35 would enjoy it more.

Poor Brandon keeps getting dragged to weddings since dating me. Today will make the 5th one in a year but it's the last one for awhile. My only friend that's engaged lives in Northern Ireland. Also it's a girl from church. I'm hoping if we go, he meets some people from church, he likes some people from church then it'll make him more likely to go to church with me sometime.

[Heather]

oh and I forgot the complete weirdness of Wednesday night. A few sunday's ago my ex-husbands [who I don't even speak to] new wife [who I actually really like] approached me at church to ask me some fashion advice. Now I'm by no means the most stylish person and I have a very basic approach to my outfits, but she is starting a teaching job soon at a local high school and realizes that a jean skirt and t-shirt probably won't cut it. So I gave her a few pointers like if you find a certain cut shirt or skirt you like, but a couple different colors of it that way you can mix and match. A cardigan and scarf can change up the same outfit so it looks different. Etc.

Well low and behold if we didn't show up in almost the exact same stinkin outfit on Wednesday!!!!  I didn't know she wanted to be my twin. Safe to say I was a bit creeped out.....

[Chseeads]

Lord. It's crazy what pills do to your body. This is why I'm so against them and only take them when I HAVE to.

Boy, you have to take them an awful lot then.


And my previous post should've said NO more, not just more....


Canned beans.....rainy, yay for rain, so I didn't pick any...but i did pull beets and can beets.

Gotta get ready for church.

Grandma is still in the hospital...she's been weird today they said, not wanting to do what they want her to do, kinda paranoid or etc....

Well this day sure was intresting.

Went to pick up dad from dialysis and ended up taking him to the ER. The dialysis people didn't want to let him go with me, they wanted to call an ambulance, cause his BP was so high. So I took him to the hospital. Got him in there and mom (who was at home and didn't bother to come to the hospital) called my brother Chad so he could pray, well the next thing we know, Chad walks in the ER! He was here, been here since yesterday and wasn't going to even tell us till tomorrow when they showed up at church! If dad had not been in the ER, we would have not known. I HATE THAT. Come to visit, and stay here two days before you even let us know? All we get is church service and a rushed lunch with them!

Made me very very ticked off today. And I don't mind who knows it. It's always like that...but if we were to go to Florida unannounced, it would be unexceptable. Dad said we ought to go down there next time and not tell them till we show up, but I told dad that for us, it would backfire and while we were there, they would be HERE. Buncha c r a p.

Anyway. Dad is fine, they got his pressure down and his pain subsided, and released him. We came home and had a nice dinner and then he wanted to go to the dollar store to buy gifts for the kids, and we haven't heard from my brother since.

And tomorrow, I'll smile and hug them all, and act normal and like I'm not ticked. It's how I am.




So that was my day. I'm currently washing some clothes and fixing to go to bed.

[Melody]

Hannah had a birthday party today where it was a private girls only swim.  I haven't swam in years.  It was LOVELY! 

After being out of town last Sunday, I am really looking forward to church.  Jesus, please give some extra blessings for my friends tomorrow.


I think my sad tomato plants are eunuchs...  Not in the marred kind of way but the born steril? kind of way.

It's been such a busy day but first thing this morning, Nathan and I went out for coffee.  Let me tell yas:  There is nothing more attractive than a man who's got vision for his family/marriage/ministry ect,  & includes his wife as his partner.  I just fell in love all over again.  *swoons* 


On another note.  Gluten and I have a love/hate, off again/on again relationship. I can't live with it and it seems like I can't live without it. 

[Lynx]

Thank you MelodyB, you reminded me I need to wash some clothes for tomorrow.  Teaching children's church or not, blue jeans are not appropriate... but it's all I have clean right now.   

[The Purple Fuzzy]

  Finally got home and was able to get on the computer.  Been a busy day.

[Chseeads]

I crashed in the floor....got up after 2, had to do the fowl tending and such I hadn't done....  Had acid reflux type issues....  Getting ready to go back to sleep.

[taco_harvell]

Went to see my in-laws yesterday. Getting ready to teach Sunday School this morning. See ya!

[Roscoe]

Urgh. Dear Lord, it is morning. I've made it to work. how, I don't know. I could sleep for the entire day if allowed. My neighbors recently put in an in ground pool. It's beautiful. So beautiful, they want to show it off.

About every three Saturdays, they have a pool party....colored lights, Hank Jr blaring across the neighborhood, the smell of bbq wafting through the air- every rednecks' dream. UNLESS- said redneck has to work on the next morning and he is not partaking of the party. And even if you are worldly enough to like Hank Jr's music- he used to be one of my favorite artists many moons ago- at midnight, he does not sound nearly as good......

[Chseeads]

  Hank why do you drank, why do you roll smokes, why must you live out the songs that you wrote?.....  ♫♪

I want to go back to bed too.

[Heather]

I'm awake and quite refreshed. Even ready for church 20 minutes early.

The wedding went down with the appropriate amount of drama. Even down to my ex and his wife feeling the need to sit at the table with Brandon and I at the reception. Not that there were 6 other tables available. Sheesh. My favorite part was Brandon kept trying to keep the King family straight. Formerly Amish with 8 kids. We sat with Steven and Katie [who knew I'd be at this wedding at opposed to Taco and RJ's  ]. Steven is RJ's stepbrother.

Off to church!

[Chseeads]

w2cch.

Grandma is on the way home from the hospital.  My cousin said she slept well last night.

Heavens to Betsy it's HOTTTT!!

We had a good time today...church was explosive! Went out to the catfish place, and now back home. I'm laying in my bed with my pjs on in front of my fan on high, and I'm still sweating. Ugh. And the AC is working, I'm just unusually BURNING UP!

[Lynx]

Electricity and audio together can be dangerous.

They asked me to reconnect the speaker in the nursery.  Fortunately we have a spare amp channel now.  Unfortunately the speaker someone put in the nursery seems to have a short.  Whenever anyone tries to adjust the volume knob it makes a sound like a minigun.  Also unfortunately, the shorted circuit affects the amp that sends power to the speaker, which results in the pulpit monitors doing the same noise. 

The speaker in the nursery is no longer in the nursery.  I plan to shred it and use it for flak. 

[angel]

It is hot here as well. Tomorrow suppose to be 100. I'm burning up hot, too, story of my life. We have the air conditioning on as well. Glad that the a/c is really cool at church!! Yayyyyy!

[Chseeads]

Picked another bucket + of beans....3 more rows to go....be time to start over by the time I get through.....  I'm glad they're producing though, cause I'd be upset and aggravated if they didn't.

Gonna go break some I guess.

[Melody]

Sometimes the simplest messages are such a blessing.  Pastor preached on Praise... for the 2nd time this summer.  I don't think he has preached on it for a few years before that.  So simple, we know it, but don't do it near enough.  I am so thankful for the liberty of the HG.  And I'm so Godly proud that when people come to church with me, there are so many I love to introduce them to.  It's truly a place of grace.  Lots of people growing at different levels in their lives.  Quality people take time to grow.

My friend that has been a principle in Honduras is moved back home.  PTL!  What does God have in store for her now?  Her life is such an adventure.

Next on the agenda: World Missions Conference in a month.

Also, though we felt that Hannah was ready to handle public school, and that we like this school system, and that with financial goals it seemed best, and that the curriculum we could afford wasn't well rounded enough now that she's getting older, and that Andrew is doing well in ps, Nathan told me yesterday that he distinctly has felt like the Lord told him to homeschool her for 2 more yrs.  Not even based on any lack on Hannah but perhaps something outside of what we are aware of right now. Can't get bent out of shape if ya stay flexible!  So, I need to find a way to get more intense curriculum without paying more.  Jesus will have to help me cause that is not all Nathan has set into motion.  When a man is praying and fasting, things are sure to change! 

I know you all will not mind me not talking about food as much!... lol but my time on here may become more limited soon.  Don't forget about me! There are people on here I do not want to become disconnected from but this is the main place I interact with yas.

Someone posted this on FB, not sure if it would be helpful:

K12 is the number one choice in K-12 online education programs in America. K12 is the trusted provider of online learning for many tuition-free, virtual public schools, as well as homeschooling. Take charge of your child's education with K12.

and this:

We were hard pressed to buy curriculum and came across Connections Academy, a virtual public school. My kids have been attending for three years. Although intense at times, my kids have benefited from the curriculum. The only items we've purchased are general school supplies. Everything else is supplied by the schools: text books, work books, manipulatives, etc. You could check out their FB page and see if the program is available in your state and if you'd be interested in it. It's not Bible-based, so I incorporate reading and devotions into our day. I only mention the program because I know how expensive curriculum can be.

Thanks!
