Lazy Day

It's a quiet Sunday afternoon. My girls are watching Pollyanna. The little guy is playing with his Buzz Lightyear behind my chair. Every so often you hear a little cry of "NOT today!!" He calls out all the little Toy Story quotes as he plays LOL.

When I dropped him off at his SS class he cried and clung to me. This was highly unusual for him. His teacher said he cried for quite a while. When I picked him up after church we had church conference (some call it business meeting). It wasn't very long yet he almost fell asleep. I noticed he was scratching and when I lifted his shirt he was all broken out in a rash. Since we've been home he obviously doesn't feel so great but he isn't running any fever. I am wondering if it could possibly be a light case of chicken pox. He has had his immunizations. I suppose time will tell. Just in case, I think I am going to stay home from church with him tonight. He won't be happy about that. We usually go out to eat with friends afterwards.

I've been working on cleaning out and organizing. My poor husband has to put up with me rearranging furniture when I get in these moods! But I am pleased with the results so far. It feels good to reevaluate things every so often. Where things aren't working you can change it up. where things just don't feel peaceful you can rearrange. it's also nice to have everything clean and fresh. Speaking of which, if you have never tried the Mr. Clean Gain scent, you are missing out! It smells so good and the scent is pretty long lasting.

But for today, it is rest. And I am falling asleep at the computer so I think it is time for some sure enough rest!

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...
