I love...

Dear God,

Wind.

It blows softly.

It speaks loudly.

It invigorates me.

Why do I like wind so much?

I just do.

Thanks God.

I like wind.

Keep it coming.

Make my wind chimes ring.

Thanks for my hearing aids.

Good night.

Love, Lynne

Getting bettah!

My hand is healing. It still tingles most of the time, and it is still red and purple-ish, but I think it will start peeling in the next few days. Ow.

Don't steam burn your hand. It hurts. Thanks for all of ya'll's help keeping it iced the other night though!

Much appreciation!

Lynne

Intensely busy schedule...

There is so much to do! When I am overwhelmed by "the list", I try to remember to relax and remember everything that I *don't* have to do, and how much I have to be thankful for. How's that for a badly arranged sentence.

Tonight I had barely walked in the door from work when I had to drop everything and respond to the station. Morgan totally stepped up to the plate and took care of Isaac and put him to bed and everything. It made my night so much easier.

The status on our house's foundation/plumbing problems is that we don't know anything. The adjuster (maybe?) came out and looked at the damage that we have and took a lot of little bitty tiny notes. I couldn't read them. *grin*

So...just put that on your prayer list and we'll update you soon hopefully.

Last night we had a random spontaneous dinner party, and it went fabulously! We (Melissa and I) tried 9 new recipes, and only one was a flop. Everybody and their friend came over and ate all of our food, and then we played the couch game. It was a lot of fun. The way a house should be. Filled with people. I liked it.

Quiet is good too, though.

Coming up? EMS Conference, Christmas cards, Thanksgiving, Nutcracker! December...here WE COME!!!

Love, ME

Odd morning...

All bets are off when one of your kids has a stomach virus, right? I didn't realize how much bets are off...My kid has consumed six popsicles this morning. If he can hold them down, he can have them! I'm also in the process of making orange Jello. *grin*

He can eat popsicles by himself! I'm so proud!

Now if we can only get James better too...

Much love, all!

Lynne

Update on Phoebe...

Phoebe is just fine, I'm happy to report...(Phoebe is my Volkswagen)

Sorry for the melodramatic post. It had been a crazy day.

I found this neat website today...very pointless. But still very entertaining.

http://www.googlefight.net

It's a Beta that takes two keywords and measures how many hits they get on Google. Complete with stick figure punching action. Check it out!

Love you all.

Lynne
p.s. Yay for car being fixed. Ew for oral surgery tomorrow. Double ew.

Sanity...

God will never give you more than you can handle...but he'll get close. Has this ever run through *your* head? I hope it has, because sometimes I feel like that twenty times today.

My life, compared to many others', is easy. Painfully easy.

But today...

As I sat in rising water, trying to turn my Volkswagen's steering wheel...somewhat unsuccessfully...My son *SCREAMED* "Mama!" for the first time in his life. Lightning struck right next to my car. And we were sitting in water. Trying frantically to accelerate and wrestle the car to the right to get in a blessedly higher parking lot. We succeeded. I scrambled to get Isaac out of his seat and into my arms where he sobbed for more than 10 minutes.

My son was afraid.

He's better now. Thank you God for your mercies.

Pray for my car.

Amen.

I cannot believe...

That it is October! Wowee!

I'm so behind on my fall to-do list it is scary! Soooo far, it is scary.

I'm ready to get started on my Christmas shopping!

Wish me luck!
