Just a Little Update

**If you are here because I have something for you, scroll down. :)

Thanks so much for praying for us! My little ones seem to be doing better. Cornbread's appetite has picked up some and I am so thankful! He had lost some weight when we went to the doctor. He's already so small there just isn't much on him to lose! FlowerChild is not having all the pain now so that is good.

We spent the day yesterday working around the house. I have had sick children for the past month and it showed! And we found out around midnight Friday night that we would be having overnight company coming in Saturday afternoon. So I had to get on the stick and move! It didn't have to be perfect but I was hoping for at least "welcoming!" Once I had the house in a little better order I headed outside where The FisherMan was at work in the garden. We got the whole thing weeded and fertilized. Wow, I can feel it this morning!

We fried fish outside for supper. Some friends of ours have a fish pond they rarely use so my guys went fshing a few days ago. Cornbread begged for a taste and loved it! We also made some homemade ice cream that was dee-lish! He seemed to enjoy that, too! :)

Since this is 5th Sunday we'll be having dinner at the church. So I've got to get going now and start cooking. Just wanted to let you know how the children were doing. Have a wonderful, blessed day!

    Was there enough fish for everyone after Rosie had her share? Fisherman was telling Papa Rooster about that yesterday. Rosie eats as well as the family lol.

    Glad all the children are feeling better.

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!

Power Bills

We lucked out last month on our power bill. We received a credit on our bill which helped tremendously. A lot of folks were shocked at how high their bills were, however. I can't blame them! Some of the figures I heard were outrageous! $500-600, one even $1200! One thing that got me was that many of these people work outside the home and their children are in school or daycare so the house stands empty all day. Not only that, but their families are much smaller so things like the washer, dryer, or stove would not be used as frequently. Shouldn't their bill be lower than ours? I think it has everyone trying to come up with ways to save on power. There are some things that are a given. Good insulation and windows go a long way towards helping lower a bill. When we first moved into our home the windows were very old. Some were cracked or even broken. The church eventually replaced them which was a huge blessing! But what were we to do in the meantime? Well, one way is to buy th...
