A Mommy's Thankful Prayer (In all sincerity and a true story)

Thank you, Lord that Jusi was crying and crying and crying for me to hold her. I needed a break from laundry and dishes and cleaning today anyhow.

Thank you, Lord for the spare bedroom I have. I really needed it today to put Juju in because she was screaming and crying and throwing a fit, so loud, that she would have woken up Jusi.

Thank you, Lord that my daughter has no bumps or bruises from crawling out of her pack n play today during nap time.

Thank you, Lord that I had a wire hanger in my home. Right after Jubilee crawled out of the pack n play she decided to lock herself in the spare bedroom, and that wire hanger suuuure came in handy.

Thank you, Lord for coffee and cream and lots of sugar to calm me down.

Thank you, Lord for Finding Nemo...it just calms EVERYONE down.

Thank you, Lord that my husband is on his way home and I can BREATHE for a second : )

Bug Holocaust

Yesterday was Jamie's day off...we slept in a while...I had a doctors appointment....and I was thinking to myself....cornbread and beans sound SO good for lunch. So I went out and got some bacon and bean soup and came home all set to make lunch. Pulled the Jiffy cornbread mix out of the cabinet.....and there were little itty bitty bugs in it....also known as flour bugs. I was so disappointed and not to mention freaked out. So I threw the box away not really thinking much of it as these things DO happen.

Jamie told me not to fret he would make curry instead! Yum! I love his curry...so I told him I would get the rice ready. Guess what. More bugs! Now I am in FREAK OUT mode! Start pulling my dry goods out of the cabinet to find them in noodles, rice, mixes, flour, pretty much alllll of my dry goods! At this point I was so upset I just started throwing it all away even if it wasn't opened!

I immediatley got out bleach and soap and water and started scrubbing all the cabinets out, demanding Jamie take out all the garbage immediately and vacuum and take out the canister...NO MORE BUGS! I was on a mission! I know these things happen to people...but I felt so dirty. YUCK!

Joyce came by and surprised us last night with new groceries (she is a flippin' saint) and ziploc baggies to put everything in until this problem subsides for good. As far as I know the bugs are gone but it makes me feel so uneasy!

Have you ever had this happen?!? What did you do? Where you a freak like me? ; )

You know you picked the wrong Motel when...

The first thing you smell is smoke when you walk in.

You spill water and go to clean it up off the tiled floor and the towel is black.

The fridge and microwave are only decoration, because they do not work.

There is no shower head.

You can hear people breathing in the next room.

You dont even care that your puppy just pooped on the floor....as soon as you remove it they will never even know it was there.

YEA. That was a motel we stayed at, on a rainy stormy night, because our truck wasnt cooperating in the rain on our 8 hours trip to Michigan. It was a nightmare! Fortunatley the next day it was nice enough out that we could drive the rest of the way. ALTHOUGH if I would have known what the problem is I am not sure I would have. The ball joint to the drivers side wheel had torn threw the frame....leave that wheel unattatched and free to roam without any accountability from the rest of the truck! YIKES!

When we finally arrived things were nice though. We were able to watch cops with Dad, play on their wii, go shopping with everyone, make a late night run with Guy and Cora, go to church together, AND mom made me chicken and noodles with mashed potatoes to help an URGENT craving : )

The trip back was lovely. The truck feels new again and I feel content with it. We stopped at a couple of places then went to bed slightly early because Jamie didnt feel well.....which leads to...

YOU CANT EVER COME HOME FROM A TRIP AND THINGS RUN SMOOTHELY...

The vaccum decided to quit the moment we got home. Yay. BUT God provided and we found a dirt devil at best buy for 30 bucks! WOA! Also Jamie has been so sick....I think it may be change in weather...but it kicked up some congestion and head cold stuff for him and I felt so bad going to work yesterday : (

Jubilee is now walking everywhere including outside...she has been..but I cant believe how fast she is! She has two bottom teeth in front, and one on top...and then the two which we refer to as her vampire teeth :) She has also discovered her belly botton and like to randomly say "HEY" and lift her shirt and point at it. HAHA It is the cutest thing. Yesterday I heard her say Hi Dada...which made me so happy! AND she learned how to say boo.

Baby number two has started moving here and there....I dont think they are big enough for me to feel all the time though. Yesterday I was asked...are you having twins?... HELLO I AM ONLY 15 WEEKS! I still have till SEPTEMBER!....geez way to make me feel fat.

I have an interview in Indy next week for a position at one of the southern locations...not sure which one yet so PLEASE pray that it is one of the northern southern stores : ) We would like to be like 2 hours away from Peru...not 5 : )

Well its gorgeous and Im off to work!
