Tale of the Day

Dear Fellow Bloggers,

Today is another day and all is well. I have one week of school under my belt for the semester and it looks as though it's going to be quite a lot of writing and reading. It's amazing the difference between the last time I was in school (1980's) and now. So much is dependent on the internet. It is so incorporated in every step of school! How amazing!!

I wanted to tell all of you, how proud I am of my husband! He has really stepped up to the plate this week and made my breakfast and coffee and got my meds. He even went so far as to get the kids up and going to school! Then, if that wasn't good enough...he began using his cpap(sleep apnea) machine while he sleeps!!!! I can't believe it! I've been hoping and praying for him to finally make the decision to get better and take action to make it happen! I worry so much about him and his heart and breathing! He's working on cutting back on his cigarettes as well. Bless his heart. I see that he is trying to turn a new leaf in life, and I'm excited! He is beginning to act like the man I fell in love with! Full of optimism and dreams! The Lord is working in wonderful and exciting ways in him. I shall continue to pray for my husband. He's got a long road ahead, but I'm certain the Lord has a special plan for him and he will go far!

I found out this week that my nephew is going into the navy this August. I think it will be good for him. He is in his senior year of high school and is struggling with some issues. I believe this could put him on a straight and steady course. I'll pray for him. My sister, therefore, is struggling with him and she, too, needs to be prayed for. I'll add her to my prayer list as well.

My oldest kid stayed over night in a hotel with his fellow basketball buddies this weekend. I can't wait to hear how things went. He is at his dad's house right now, but tonight he'll be home and I will ask him about it. He's getting so big so fast. Wow.

Yesterday my friend took my daughter for the day/night and my sister took my baby boy for the day. It was the first "break" hubby and I have had from the kiddos in I don't know how long! It was nice. We mostly rested and ate, talked and napped. But all without interruption. It was a little slice of heaven on earth. Funny thing is though...we were so happy to get baby boy back home that night. We missed him. As much as he drives us insane, he also is our delight!

My girlfriend called this morning and said my daughter had diarrhea in the night and it was all over her carpet. She says she'll have to get a new carpet. I feel bad. And my daughter, poor thing! My littlest has been having diarrhea and now her. Oh I hope they are not coming down with anything. Hubby and I have been feeling tummy troubles this weekend so I don't know. I will pray that we will continue with our good health.

This week, my husband's mother will be coming here from Florida to visit! We are very excited to see her. My husband has a close bond with her and I'm happy for him that he will have her close by to talk with and love. She is a wonderful lady and teaches me things each time she is here. I observe her cooking and always pick up pointers about that. She teaches me duty and honor as well. She will be sleeping in our room so she may have a room to herself while she is here. I know when I go to other people's houses to stay, I always feel in the way when I have to sleep in their livingroom. I hope she enjoys her stay. It is going to be cold though, so I hope she is able to deal well with that. I will pray that the Lord provides warmth and comfort for her.

Well, I think that's all for now, my fellow blogmates!
Until next time!
