Good morning.  It's a beautiful morning.  I choose my attitude today and I'm choosing a good one.

Nathan doesn't start work today till 11 and works till 7pm.  They're doing this so that he doesn't go over on his 40hrs and still work on Friday.  I think it's ridiculous but thank God he has a job.  There's always gaps between the desk people and field people so nothing new in any occupation.

Cell group at my house tonight so I have to clean thoroughly, make cookies, and have Nathan's clothes ready, ironed, layed out since he'll get home during the lesson. 

Talked to my Aunty last night.  My uncle, who's been doing well in church for like 10 yrs left suddenly.  But in a weird way.  He is a drama queen but he left very low key, no beef with anyone, only kind words.  He just got done with chemo a few months back and started right back to his heavy labor job.  He looks out of sorts and acts out of sorts.  I wonder if the chemicals have messed with his mind and the devil is taking advantage?  He is going to church somewhere else but nobody knows what's going on.  He was witnessing up to the week he left, he's a soul winner.  Please pray for him, his name is Paul.

Been running around with Dad today. We went a little bit of everywhere today it feels like.

Now I'm going outside to tend to my pool. Filters go on sale next week and I may get one in the price is reasonable.

I need to start using the pool. I am too white.

[MelodyB]

Got the pool all clean. Now I'm putting fresh water in it. I may swim in it this afternoon/evening. I am SO TIRED and my muscles ache. I don't really feel like going BACK into town again to go to prayer tonight. I may decide to stay home. If I do, I think a soak in the pool will help my tired and sore body.

Maybe.

Y'all just don't tell any church people that I stayed home and went swimming if I do decide to stay home. (glares in Kimbers direction)

PRAISE!!! Landlady has decided to sell me the Passport for only $750!! Originally she wanted $2000. But it needs some work which I'm ok doing once its MY car. No point putting alot into something she could have taken with herto Chicago at any time. Plus she finally apologized for putting me in the situation I'm in.

[Melody]

What a blessing, Heather!

Had a lady from church that I'm not super close to but she's a great lady, call me a few hrs ago.  She had taken her newborn in to be circumcised at a pediatricians, and they couldn't stop the bleeding.  They called for an ambulance.  She was crying so hard on the phone that I couldn't understand where she was saying, finally she handed the phone to someone and they told me.  She was 5 min. from my house and needed me to watch her little girls.  They are very sweet girls, one is Hannah's age.  So we picked them up, they were just being good little girls in the waiting room, unaware of the situation.

It might sound shallow of me but this morning I was feeling emotional.  I feel like I do near to nothing for God, that I'm not that spiritual though I desperately want to be.. well I guess just more.  I had went to my room shut the door and was crying out to God to change me so that I could be used.  That is when this lady called.  I'm so carnal... I answered.  LOL  Who answers the phone when they're praying?  It's not spiritual to babysit but I'm glad to be a help, reguardless.  If you think of it, pray for baby Xavier. 

The girls have played in the sprinkler, watched a Leave it to Beaver episode, ate lunch and are now drawing/writing letters to their friend who recently moved away.  If they are still here, they're going to make tiny little blueberry pies for themselves. 

The littlest one who is 5 told me in the car on the way to my house that she likes to pray every day but doesn't usually when they go places in the morning.  So I told her that Hannah and her and sister could have their own morning prayer mtg first thing before they play so they'll have a good day. ♥  They did. How sweet is that.

Found the night managers debit card in the parking lot this morning returned it and she was more worried about a misplaced drink cup. Didn't even say thanks. Some people are weird!

I find it odd that they were surgically cutting and didn't just use the little plastic ring gadget if he's just a newborn....  Poor thing either way.


Went to work, came home.

A black man with a gun is shoveling poop out of the chicken house.  And I'm eating a refried bean platter.

[MelodyB]

They still have to cut it before they put the ring gadget on it. The ring thing is to help it heal instead of stitches or whatever. They glue it on there and when it's healed up, it falls off in the diaper.

I got the full lesson on that when I stayed in the hospital with my SIL after Jeremy was born.


But I am with you, why did they wait? They normally do that the day or two after birth, before he goes home from the hosp.

[MelodyB]

Where did you find a black man with a gun, and how did you get him to shovel poop?

[Chseeads]

Hmm...I didn't realize that required cutting...I thought it was applied, the string was tied around it, and it just fell off in time. 

The black guy is a game warden that's friends with my sister and he wanted poop for his garden.

[MelodyB]

I'm pretty sure it's cut.


Are we really having this conversation out here in public?

Only on GP. Lol

I don't really know why they waited, Andrew's was done like his 2nd day out.  And there was no ring or stitches.  I know this family is paying all their own hospital expenses and after some research they seen how much teh hospital jacks up the prices for stuff that isn't necessary right at birth in the first place.  So they were particular in what the hospital could do.  That could be why?  I don't know.

Baby is fine and the girls all had a great time.  Cell group was good, lots of praise reports from things we as a group are praying about.  I made snickerdoodles and coffee, so I am AWAKE.

So our friend that has been living with us has finally reached his goal.  He is off to France in a few weeks.  Close to Paris.  Once there he will be an aupair, I don't think I spelled that right, going to school, and doing what he can in the church there.  He was so excited to get his visa in the mail today.

We're throwing him a Bon Voyage party next week. It'll be in our yard and I'm trying to make it with a bit of French theme but we're grilling burgers and brauts.  I don't know what to do about a "cake" for him.  I definately don't want to do a regular cake.  Is cheesecake French? 

[sunlight]

mostly down here they wait till the baby is at bit over a week... as on the 7th and 8th day is when the clotting stuff is finally kicking in...

[Newsman]

 

[MelodyB]

Wow.

I just turned on my lamp by my bed, and flames shot out, it popped really loud and then the bulb went dark. I had to blow the flames out from the base of the bulb. So I promptly unplugged it and now I guess I have to find a new lamp. Lol

Oh, I did stay home, and was trying to relax in the pool, but for one, it was too cold and that didn't help my stiff sore muscles any, and it still had little dead bugs in it that freaked me out so I prolly stayed all of five whole minutes in there. So I went in and took a hot shower instead and rested in my room.

[Roscoe]

Morning. 
Back at work on my Friday- gonna be a LONG day, I've got a CPR class at 5:30. Wish I'd drove Rusty in....

Had an awesome service last night. Bro Papa preached on prayer and fasting, and later told me he expected it to be a bit dry and boring...but no, about halfway through the Bible Study, God showed out. People dancing, shouting, jumping......some of the kids in my class getting a grip! I LOVE to see that. So thankful 1) for kids that WANT more of God and 2) someone who has stepped up and helped the youth immeasurably , with FundRaisers, ect......

[MelodyB]

Back home from taking dad to Dialysis. Made a yummy bowl of grits and some toast. There is nothing more comforting (to me) breakfast wise than a big bowl of grits. I guess cause I loved them as a child, and still love them.

Now I think I'll go lay down for awhile longer. Had a good prayer in the truck on the way back from town, it started with a Matt Redmon (sp?) song on the radio. It was powerful and put me into a prayerful state of mind and The Holy Ghost swept into the truck! Now Im home, I've eaten, and I also have dinner all prepared to go in the oven later. This day has already been productive and it's only 7am!

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Grits to me is like eating sand.  My husband loves them with a soft egg on top.

[MelodyB]

I love them that way too! But I didn't want egg today, so I just had the grits and toast.
