Rather Difficult Days

Whew! I am glad when bedtime comes every night.

I don't think I sat down all day except when rocking outside with the boys- and having my hair done.

Wednesday might I realized that I hadn't read my Bible in a while. This is a problem.

The children are settling down some, but not without the ugly fits (which are kin to the ugly cry.)

It seems I will not be able to do real posts for a while - no DSL available where I live.

So I love you all, but my iPhone bill will be outrageous.

Sick

Sinus drainage - not a fan

... cause for me, this always means laryngitis.


Gray skies

... Cause nothing goes with feeling bad and still sad better than depressing skies.


Internet-less


... Jeers to At&t for not having anything other than dial up out in the sticks. Dial up is so two thousand.

Thinking about stuff

What kind of STUFF lasts?


For sure, not material goods. I know this truth, but I still worry about my worldly stuff. I like my stuff.

But what really matters is my 'people' stuff. Ya know, Jake, Peyton, and TJ stuff.


I included some pictures of my babies , but not their Daddy. My iPhone does not have pictures of Jake.

I'll try to fix that.

Seriously

Monday night my bible study group held a going away party for me and the kids. I might have slightly threw a wrench in the surprise when I attempted not to return to Demopolis. But those sneaky little girls convinced me otherwise.

I feel so bittersweet about this week. Tonight is the babies last night in the house where they both turned one. I have so many wonderful memories here.

I knew my moment was coming; when I could no longer hold back my flood of emotions. That is precisely where I find myself.

This is a painful place.

I've been here before.

I'll be here again.

Because you see, I can't live in a vacuum. Somehow I think the depth of affection is directly relational to the depth of pain.

I am hurting, quietly. The kids are sleeping.

Then I took a cleansing shower.

And I'm ok now.

I'm a girl; ugly cries happen.

Busy busy

I am posting from my iPhone app, so I can't be too verbose. The following are pictures of my new house / the mother in law's.

I don't want anyone to cry

...but our Demopolis season is drawing to a close. I spoke with relocation specialist today (Wednesday) should hear something back tomorrow.

I am sad about leaving my DEAR friends, but Peyton and TJ cry for their Daddy every night.

I think they are trying to play the sympathy card, but gosh-a-bill miss him too.

Do Not Play in the Play Room!

because Jake spent time picking up books and I spent time picking up the puzzle/mat.

Blog-tory or not

I was feeling the need to update you on the process, but then I did my precept study for yesterday, and yes that means I am behind at least one
day behind in my study.

We were focusing on Gilgal, and why God "hated them" in that place. Hate? Yup, now you see why we're exploring Gilgal!

Gilgal just happens to be where Joshua and the Israelites set up their twelve stones after crossing the Jordan river.

The Israelites seem to have turned Gilgal into a place of disobedience. And you guessed it! God is not a fan of disobedience.

On a much happier note, I have decided to Skype into Bible study once we relocate!

I will leave you with the boy's picture of the day.

Update: this occurrence was referenced in a radio program this afternoon. Think God is speaking to me?

Really now?

I promise, my kids are the joy of
My life . Also, they hardly surprise me anymore.

Big Post

Jake came home this weekend- so we did lots of work.
