it really works!

about a year ago my SIL told me she had heard that when your child has a bad cough and coughs at night that you should rub vix on the bottom of their feet and put socks on. have them sleep this way.

weird huh? that's what i thought. but she had tried it on her son and it worked. a few weeks ago, princess had a cough. it tends to keep her up at night. i've always done vix on her chest only to have reapply again in the middle of the night. so this time i decided to try the foot thing!

i gotta tell you...it worked!! she slept like a baby all night. i don't know what it is...but try it next time one of your young ones has a bad cough. it made princess happy and mommy happy too!!!

How is the ark coming?? =) Praying for you!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
