Completing the Agenda - Or Not

Well, the day is winding down. It didn't work out exactly the way I thought it would but that's ok! How often does life follow the agenda anyway? :)

I have been having some trouble this week with a pulled muscle in my shoulder. I thought it might be a bit better this morning but apparently not. Just a few minutes after posting my blog this morning I had a major muscle spasm that was certainly no fun! So life got rearranged.

I decided since there was half a loaf of store bought loaf bread I wouldn't try to push and bake any. So scratch that from the list. In fact, I did not do anything around the house today! Rest was the key after that ordeal!

Instead I took time to call our "daughter" and had a nice time catching up with her.

I also went visiting with the FisherMan. How nice to pop in on some of our folks from church! I even got the surprise of playing with a certain little princess, better known in some parts as Chicken Little. We stopped in to check on her grandparents and she was there, too. What could be sweeter than a precious baby grinning from ear to ear when she looks up at you?

When we got back the children played outside with their Daddy while I got supper going. Oh, and it was the chicken tortilla casserole....I eventually remembered....along with fresh beans and fresh corn on the cob. Yum!

Life can't always be held to a list or an agenda. You can try but sometimes things just happen. When that is the case, don't let it get the best of you. Go with the flow and realize every moment is a gift from God. Treasure it even when you don't feel your best or things aren't going so well. At the end of the day you'll be glad you did. :)

  1. Blessings to you.
    I was delighted to see your icon as a follower to my blog. Welcome and so glad you're a blogging friend.
    I will enjoy getting to know you better through blogging.
    Your header is precious!

    It's disturbing to think so many abortions are taking place as your counter indicates. Such a sad statement about destroying life...120,000 babies a day. To think all this god given talent that each baby has that will never be birthed on earth and used for God's glory and to bless others is a horror.

    Visit with you again real soon, ~D~

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...
