Ramblings

We went to run some errands today. I got our car insurance about $60 cheaper. Ya:) We also went to get some groceries and stuff. I hate going to Wal-mart. It make such a simple task so difficult. I usually only go if I need groceries and several other items. But I think I will just start going to more than one store. We had to stand in line forever and then when we went out the door the alarm system kicked in. Then everybody looks at you like you are a thief or something. It was apparently some HBA items that set it off. Food prices here just keep rising. I was going to buy some ground beef but it was over $2 a pound for the cheap stuff. I can get it at our local family owned shop cheaper than that. On the way home the kids wanted their McFlurry fix so we stopped and got them one. Myself and all of my pregnancy glory wanted some Long John Silvers. That was not smart. Food from there always makes me sick. It is sooo greasy and I can't handle that. So I am paying for it now. I am praying for the strength to get passed these first trimester symptoms and get my home back in order. It is a wreck and we have so many events coming up so I need to get busy. God Bless!!!!!!

Oh my goodness, how big is this baby.

Okay, my belly is growing like a weed. I am only about 7 weeks, I think. So how do I look like 3 months? I am already having to dig out the maternity clothes. Thank goodness it is all in my tummy still. But I wonder about TWINS!!!!!!! I would be shocked. Twins, 3yo and a 6yo would be hard for me. I know women do that and then some all the time. But I am not know for my patience. I guess I need to make a doctors appointment soon just to be on the safe side. Anyone out there that started gaining weight early in their pregnancy let me know. My other two pregnancies was not like this at all. Have a blessed weekend.

How romantic am I?

Your Love Life is Like The Princess Bride

"Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind." For you, love is like a fairy tale - albeit a fairly twisted one. You believe romance is all about loyalty, fate, and a good big of goofy fun.

What Movie Is Your Love Life Like?

Catching up

Okay, I know I have been gone for awhile. But we have been so busy with important, life changing stuff. Mainly, we sold one of the trucks and we are expecting. Getting rid of the trucks has enabled us to catch up on some bills and hopefully if the other one gets sold it will help pay off some bills. And a few days ago I had two positive pregnanct test, so it looks like we will be having baby #3. I am mixed with emotions. I am happy but also concered about how my 3yo will deal with it. She is soooo a momma's girl and she gets angry if I hold anyone's baby at church:( I hope she will do okay. Our garden has finally started showing promise, that is until those vile Japanese beetles showed up. Well, gonna scoot, chores to do. I really need to tweak my management binder before the baby gets here. I feel so overwhelmed already, but its a good overwhelmed.

Getting ready for a party

I am once again sick with a cold. Why, I don't know. But I have to get better because tomorrow I have to get things together for my son's 6th birthday. His party isn't until Saturday, but I have not prepared at all for it. So I will be going with my mom to pick up hotdogs and a gift. We may also catch Kung Fu Panda and if we get back in time go to the singing at our church. Busy, Busy. DS also needs a hair cut but that will have to wait until Saturday morning when dh can do it. It is also hot here. Like 95 degrees. My garden is starting to show promise with my corn and green beans and cukes finally starting to come up :] Busy times are ahead and so we are already doing our light summer homeschooling. We will also be patching the pool soon so, splish splash!!!!!!!!!!!

Life of a WV miner

The hit show 30 days will be doing a in the life of a WV coal miner. It is at 10 tonight on FX. It sounds interesting, although I am a little biased;) Gonna scat and get ready to watch it.

I am still blogger illiterate, but I am getting better

Okay, my blog has been giving me trouble for days. Every single time I would try to view my blog, it would be just a blank screen. After pulling out my hair, I finally changed the template. I was told that the one I had was damaged. How I have no idea! But it worked. Now I know in the grand scheme of things my blog being fixed is so insignificant, but Praise God because this thing was driving me crazy:)

Thankful Thursday

Okay, today is suppose to be Thankful Thursday. But in all honesty, I have been quite depressed lately. With my dh last job and then the hold over to the job he currently has we are B...R...O....K.....E!!!!!!!! It is hard to be so cheery and joyful when bill collectors have you on speed dial. My ds birthday is next weekend and I have no idea what I am going to do for a party. We may not be getting our stimulus check because our account refuses to speak to us. He always has some excuse and so we have not filed our taxs yet:( Candy, over at always seems so happy and calm. I just wished I could be like that. But after reading her post about choosing to be happy, I think maybe I am going about it all wrong. I have so many things to be thankful for. I have my wonderful dh, my great kids. DH has a good job now. I am able to homeschool my kids and watch them grow. I have my savior and a place in heaven reserved for me. These things are all eternal. The relationship with my dh along with being here for my kids and training them up all leads to a legacy that I hope my kids understand. I pray that it leads to their relationship with the Lord and that they will instill that in their children. And as far as my relationship with my savior, I think that is self explanatory. So the bill collectors and things I want are not what I need. Because I need nothing more than God because he will supply all of my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19 Have a blessed day!!

Please take time to pray for our troops. Even if you do not believe in the war we are currently involved in, these people and their families sacrifice so much. May God bless them all. This video titled Thank You reminds us all of the sacrifice they make. Also keep in mind of the sacrifice that Jesus made for all of us this Memorial weekend. I hope we can all run to our heavenly Father the way this little boy runs to his daddy. Blessings!!!!

Praise Report!!!! Praise Report!!!!

Last week, my dad's doctor had done some ct scans of my dad's lungs for his black lung case. My dad had worked 30 years in the mines and after retirement, he filed for his black lung case. The doctor had contacted him saying that there was a lesion on his lung that appeared to be malignant, not from the black lung disease. He then told my dad that he would set him up with a PET scan to see if it was indeed cancerous. Well, my dad got the results today and ......no cancer. Praise the Lord. They are still going to try and figure out why this lesion looks so different than the scarring from the black lung disease, but I am happy thus far. Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What? No, Mcflurry

Okay, today we go to the store for some groceries and the kids were really good. As I promised I took them to McDonald's. They were all excited to get a Oreo Mcflurry. So we go and guess what they clean the ice cream machine at that time and they don't know how long it will be until it is back up and running. UGH!!!! Two very upset kids and I must say one upset momma, because those things are so good. Anyway they settled for a frosty from Wendy's. I was very proud of them for taking it so well. I know it is just ice cream, but it also is a measure of how well they are learning to be content with what they have or can have. So we came home eating our frosty and jammin out to some songs on the radio. My kids love music. No really music is everything to them. It started to rain and I realized life is pretty good. Me, the kids, frosties, good music, and rain on the windshield:)

Does anyone have a husband?

Does anyone have a husband that works strange shifts, that is:) DH's new job has very strange hours and has sent our daily life into a tail spin. I have worked on our schedule over and over and it just doesn't feel right yet. I hope he goes to day shift soon, but I need to make due for now. It is still raining on and off here for over a week now and my poor, poor garden. I so wanted a full harvest but it doesn't look like it will happen. If dh gets a three day weekend this week and it doesn't rain maybe we can work on that and my poor chicken coop. We have been working on it for two years. I have chickens at my in laws. They have been there for two years. Can you sense the frustration in my voice? It only needs the fence up and a door. We have a dog so the chickens have to have a fence for a little while. I don't think he will bother them much because he is getting so old now. Well, gotta scat, need to finish up school work and head out for a few groceries. Not many to get this week;) Here is the menu.
Today- Mcdonalds ( I am lazy)
Wednesday-Breakdfast-sausage biscuits Dinner-hotdogs
Thursday-B-pancakes D-Spagetti
Friday-B- cereal/oatmeal D-lo spagetti
