Housewifing

Past my bedtime

I'm tired and I want to go to bed.  My chest hurts.  It's just the cartilage that attaches my ribs to my breastbone.  It is inflamed and it feels like heart pain, but it definitely is not.  My heart is in great shape, low cholesterol, low pulse, low blood pressure.

My boys are at Aunt Beth and Uncle Joe's for a sleepover.  (Joe is my husband's best friend.)  We were over for a birthday celebration and I was the only party pooper.  Actually, I don't think I'm still healed up from bronchitis and walking pneumonia.

I made some homemade ornaments.  they are pretttttyyyy lame.  I think too lame even to post here.

Tomorrow Pat has a 6 hour birthday party to go to & Matt has a play date at another kid's house, so it's Rachel & I free!  I think we'll work on the Christmas tree.

I'm going to bed.  I'm researching my role in my family and in my life from the Bible.  I'm looking in to what it means that I should be covered by my husband when I am in church, and as an outward sign, actually have my head covered.  I believe that whatever popular culture says, whatever custom is now - doesn't amount to anything.  God's word doesn't lie.  I just have to figure out what the Holy Spirit is saying to this stiff-necked girl, me.Download Should Christian women wear head coverings

Santa Claus is coming to town!

pray

I want to pray for Steve who is going to a first appointment with a pain management doctor for his back pain.  An old injury + back surgery and nerve damage is causing pain.  I ask for strength through the Holy Spirit for Tammy, his wife when she prays and lays hands on him, for her to pray in faith and through the Holy Spirit for healing.  I pray for a child, Mark to not have fear and for having quickened healing after having a cyst removed from his hand.  (both Steve and Mark on Friday).  I pray for Mike to get urged on by the Holy Spirit.  I pray for wisdom and knowledge to be given plentily to my kids.

In Jesus' Name (His full force and prescence and Power and all that He Is, the I AM) I pray, amen.

High School Muscial 3 weekend

HSM3 rocked!  Even Patrick enjoyed it.  I did like 1 & 2 better, but 3 was fun and it sure beat trick-or-treating.

We went to Caseville for the week-end. 

The kids got huge bags of gum, kit-kats, and hershey krispies.  They helped Mike spread dirt over the septic tank area.

Mike hunted for deer and ducks.  He called up Joey and Jake and they looked like Elmer Fudd hiding in the fields in front of our house.  We looked out the window and watched them get 4.  They were the biggest ducks I have ever seen.

I spent the weekend reading about John Adams.  I spent the week-end sick.  I am still sick.  I feel very weak.
