N-e-e-d Ca-ff-ei-ne

Just want to say thank you to those that have been faithful to check back here even though I haven't been able to post often. We are now battling a stomach virus! FlowerChild became sick Monday night with it. So far no one else has gotten sick, praise God. I am furiously washing hands, keeping up with the extra laundry, and disinfecting everything! I was up for quite a while with her last night. Long about 4:00 am I had some very profound thoughts for the blog. It would have made such a great post. Unfortunately I can't remember a bit of it LOL! My brain is fried but hopefully I will be able to get back on today and have a little something to say. Maybe it's all those bleach fumes.....

    Hey Shana!
    Thank you for your prayers. I was thinking tonight that in the last few weeks we have had all kinds of physical trials. First Cornbread was sick, then me, then The GuitarMan was in the accident, then FlowerChild got sick. It's been one after another! So I am praying it stops now, we need a break!

    GuitarMan has stayed in school the whole time. Can you believe that??!! He has missed a class here or there with doctor's visits and dealing with pain but he has battled on. He has problems with remembering everything from class from the pain medicine but hopefully his grades won't suffer too much. He is supposed to start therapy tomorrow and I'll be with him then. He's having worse pain in his index finger yesterday and today so I'm glad he is going to be seen again. I'm hoping that's not a bad sign. The index finger was badly broken. So just please remember him in prayer tomorrow. It's probably not going to be the easiest day for him.

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...
