where i've been???

it has been almost a week since i posted. and since so many of you want to know the play by play of my life i'm offering a recap today.

last friday - well....you read that for yourself! great day!

saturday - i won a jousting contest, rode a bull for 13 seconds, lost my race in the obstacle course, and rocked at laser tag! did i mention i was at a children's ministry event?????

sunday - left the family at home and went to church alone. sent the good doc over to see hubby, picked up prescriptions and lunch, came home and started to crash myself. couldn't even make it up to watch pride and prejudice!!

monday - sent everyone to school and work and felt myself slowly go down hill. wait, by bedtime i was a mess!!

tuesday - had a fever, princess had an earache, mapboy went to school. princess and i got prescriptions and slept. okay, i slept, she played. then i mustered energy to go to a church meeting - bad idea!!

wednesday - mapboy screams at 2 am his ear is hurting - wakes up again at 6:15 and cries all day. doc sees him and finds a really bad ear infection. we are now all four on antiobiotics - all different - all different dosages. not good for a sick momma!!

and now today....mapboy was excused for today from school..oh boy since he is acting so much better. by that i mean - he is quite active!! i feel better - although still rather sinusey (is that a word). but my parents flew in from florida to attend a funeral today so we are all having dinner tonight, and yes, before you ask, i AM taking mapboy who will not be at school today to dinner at pizza hut!!

so there you have it folks...my week in review!!

oh wait...did any of you catch the eclipse last night??? it was pretty cool around here!!!

Wow, you guys have been slammed with sickness and snow this winter. Praying that health and spring come soon!

How much snow have you guys gotten this year? We are expecting 3-4 inches tomorrow, but probably haven't even had 3-5 inches the entire winter.

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss ...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
