When is spring getting here???? I am so tired of winter blues. It's so draining of all my energy. I need refueling. I need Robyn down the street so I can go have a cuppa coffee and a visit. I need a new craft. I started a baby blanket. But I am just not "feeling" it. I have tons of new books to read. Can't even pick one up. I really think it's the winter blues. I want to see new life in flowers starting.... robins..... the fresh scent of spring. I want to walk. (I hate walking in the cold)

Finally got my Florida pics (watercolors from local artist on Pine Island) matted and framed.... and hung. They sure add a burst of color to the walls here. I'll see if I can add them to today's blog...

Ummm... what's on todays agenda? 15 year old upstairs sick. Sam is watching Little Einsteins... the girls (dogs) are asleep... Nora (rabbit) is destroying her new birthday present. A little wooden house... she likes to flip upside down. Pooh (kitty) is napping also. It's early and I need to find something to do. So I feel like I accomplished something. Already have dinner planned. Chicken breast are thawing. Have 2 extras for dinner tonight, Sam and her brother.

Well I am going to try and add the pics of my Florida art.... and I am off to do something. Just don't know what yet.

Heard a new twist to the saying "God will never give you anything you cannot handle"..... not that I remember exactly... but the jist of it was he doesn't "give" you things. Most come along by our own making.... but if you believe.... he will be there to help us through.
Anyhow. I quit my part time job today. There is just too much stress in my life. And standing for 4-6 hours at a time isn't good for my health or the baby's. I didn't tell my husband yet though. Not that he will be upset. But I know .... he works 6 days a week.... my job was 1 day a week. BUT he isn't pregnant and already 30lbs overweight. Not that I don't work mon.-fri. either. For those who don't know me... I run an in-home daycare.
I really wish I had something wonderful to say. Something that would give you something to think about... to ponder....
but I don't. Right now... my body is saying.... naptime.

Umm.... where to begin. Today is just another day to an ongoing year.... maybe a hint of what else is going to come. Let's start off with Dec. 20th, 05. I just found out I am pregnant. Our 4th child. Due August of 06. Let the morning sickness begin.... I know all pregnancy are different. My morning sickness has been 24/7 ever since. In order not to feel queezy--- I eat. I am so tried of eating. Luckly I have only gained 12 lbs... and am now 4 months. Still feel yucky most of the time.... only less. If that makes any sense. Now the heart burn begins. On with 2006..... the end of January we found out our second son, Jesse, has a Chairi type 1 Malformation. His cerebrell toncils are herniating down his spinal column. We have been to Childrens Hospital 3 times... now they are sending us to a neuroligist... and he has to have a sleep study done. (2 more trips.... more school missed) And the hot water tank went.... nothing like cold showers in January.
Yesterday I found out my oldest, Ian, has to have surgery also. Nothing as bad... just has to have his wisdom teeth removed. Woke up this morning to no heat. It was 55 in the house.
Sorry for any spelling errors. I don't know exactly how to work the spell check yet. (my spelling sucks) And to top everything off... my daughter, Hannah, has to change schools starting today. Yesterday her elementry didn't have school, the boiler broke. So today they shipped the entire school to another elementry school. 15 extra miles on the bus, each way. Poor girl will have jet lag by the time she gets off the bus. I don't want to think of what else can make things worse.
GOOD NOTE- it's almost spring like outside. You can smell it in the air.
I know God will not give us what we can't handle.... but I am about to the end of my ropes.......
think I'll end it for now... hopefully tomorrow I'll not be drowning in self depression......
