Nothing to Write About

I had this email conversation today with my sister...and it struck me is funny.

Me:
Happy almost birthday!
LOVE U SIS! (side note...sent 2 days before her birthday just in case I forget to send a note on her actual birthday)

Sis:
Thank you sister. How are things with you?

Me:
Good. How are you?

Sis:
I’m bored at work and want to go home to my sick baby so I can take care of him.

Me:
I have so much to do right now, I don't have time to get bored. I'm sorry D is sick. :( What does he have?

Sis:
JUST A STOMACH BUG I THINK HE JUST KEEPS THROWING UP.

Me:
Poor baby. :(

Sis:
I DON’T KNOW WHO TO FEEL MORE SORRY FOR D OR M. D KEEPS THROWING UP, BUT WE ALL KNOW HOW MEN ARE WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING TO CLEANING IT UP. HE CALLED ME EARLIER GAGGING ON THE PHONE CAUSE D HAS JUST THROWN UP.

Me:

LOL see that just makes me laugh. J would be totally gagging, too. And I would be laughing at him.

Yes...I would. I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not a very nice or sympathetic person. Nope, I'm not. I probably should be more sympathetic and for sure more nice....I need to work on that.

Sis:
Lol, Your way too funny. M called me for sympathy and I just kept laughing. Men are such babies. Oh well at least he didn’t get mad at me for laughing at him. HE HE HE and you say you are evil.

That's it...ok maybe not as funny as I thought. On that note:

My apologies to J, M, men in general, and to anyone else who may have been offended. We love you and cherish you.

D, Get well soon buddy...Auntie loves you tons n bunches

What Brady Are You?

You Are Marcia Brady

Confident yet kind. Popular yet down to earth. You're a total dream girl. You've got the total package - no wonder everyone's a little jealous of you.

What Brady Are You?

Easy to Please

I got this text message from my dear husband while I was at work today:

"I am at McDonalds watching SpongeBob and eating chicken nuggets...this is so awesome!!!"

Some of you may be thinking my hubby's text message is dripping with sarcasm. Oh no, my man was in hog heaven. In fact, I think if there is no McDonalds or SpongeBob in heaven, he might not want to go. (kidding)

I am blessed that my husband is easy to please in the food department. Our first year of marriage, I worked so hard to put a really good meal on the table. I'll never forget the first night I was in a hurry and just threw together mac and cheese, tuna, and a can of mixed veggies. Oh, yeah...we're talking world class meal... He LOVED it. Every other meal he would eat, no complaints. But this he complemented every bite.

Gotta love him. :}

Blessings!

Grandma Would Have Been Laughing

I couldn't let this moment move past my life without posting it here. So while I was on here Thursday night having a good go-through-an-entire-box-of-tissue cry, my sweet little queen of destruction was having her way with my brand new shoes!!

Oh yes. I had worn them once, and owned them for 24 hours. Apparently she was thinking the money would have been better spent on some new chewies for her.



Oh yeah. If Grandma would have been here....she would have loved it. I couldn't help but laugh.

Blessings!

This is My Prayer today

Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms

I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.

Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away

Chorus

I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Chorus
