My nose it getting air locked!

Jake and I are working on school when he scrunches up his nose, pushes up on the end and makes this really weird face...."What are you doing?" I ask. Jake replies while shrugging his shoulders.."My nose is getting...like... air locked."
"What?"I ask, as I begin to chuckle....
"Yeah, it's like I have to sneeze but I can't"..... Sticks his finger up his nose... pulls out a huge green booger and exclaims... "Must be just a booger."

OH MY WORD!... Sorry all but I couldn't keep a straight face! So my question to you all is.... Have you ever been air locked in the nostrils? I must say it has happened to me before!

Looks like a stuffed maggot!

Yes all this is my finger. Yesterday morning while trying to get everyone ready for church including myself I did this. Yep about a 1/2" long blister along my pointer finger. It's bubbled up like a large stuffed maggot and hurts like crazy. Now some of you may be thinking how does someone achieve a blister of this magnitude getting ready for church? Well It would be from my curling iron! Yep my curling iron.... and Yes I was in a GREAT RUSH! I actually ended up sticking my finger in the inside of the iron..... The price of being beautiful is high and painful. (By the way the first is the one Ben took for me after he saw the second pic which was the one I was going to use.)

But the story of the blister doesn't end there. Today I had a friend come over this morning and I was holding our golden retriever so that he didn't jump all over her girls and knock them over when all of a sudden my finger becomes wet and stings like all get out!... Yep in the process of holding down our psycho dog.... my blister popped. It oozed water for a while and now has created another blister! Beauty = Pain!!!!!!!

I 'm like... yeah... yes... like....YEAH! Shocked and so relieved was I that I could hardly speak. You see... Hula has a mops conference on Feb 21 and she is willing to set up a table for me to sell my bags and will take as many as I can make. Well with kiddo's, homeschooling, and a party I have to go to this weekend I knew that I was cutting it close to get the bags done on time. I have to have them ready by next wednesday so that I have enough time to mail them. My mom is coming until saturday and is willing to work for free.... (as long as in the coming weeks I help her make curtains for her new house)! I am so excited. My mom and I usually work like a well oiled machine... I can't wait to see how many we can crank out in the next couple of days!.... She is driving 4 and 1/2 hours just to help me!.. THanks MOM!

SUPER MOM TO THE RESCUE!

Thoughts

I have recently been reading " Following Gods will" blog and on their he has a link his biography he is writing called "Into the Mirror". Powerful stuff. His book has spurred this post.

You see I grew up in what I thought was a "NORMAL" house. Little did I understand that I was living the "ODD" family life. You see, My parents love God, I think I maybe saw them argue once... don't get me wrong I coud tell when they weren't exactly happy with each other but I didn't see the disagreement happening. No one drank, or smoked or anything of the likes. We went to church on Sundays, did the wednesday night church thing and life was great! Stable.... No worries.... My brothers and sisters... we were always home by curfew, didn't drink, and in general never got in trouble. (Which is amazing considering that I have 1 sister and 3 brothers).
When we would get in trouble or do something stupid.. such as back the car out of the garge and rip the side mirror off the car and dent in the whole front fender.... BEFORE church... my dad laughed and told everyone in the car that if any.... Anyone... told how this happened they would get a spanking when they got home. Yes my dad kept me from complete humilation. A great picture in real life of how our heavenly father loves us.... at least to me it was a great representation.


Once I was in college I began to see how my world was vastly different than everyone elses. Parents that didn't care about their kids or single parent families and drug and alchohol addiction was very common! I was the ODDBALL! It made me realize and think about how fortunate I was. I honestly think that God had a hand of protection over my family due to the faithfulness of the generations before. I am so grateful for the faith of my grandparents and great grandparents that is a legacy in my family. My life could have been very different...
You see my parents were expecting by brother before they got married. They came to know the Lord after they were married. I remember my parents being baptized. Many times my mom has said that she could have easily married someone that would have beat her but instead I feel the Lord had a hand in her marrying my dad!

So anyways in Steve's life story, he talks about addiction.... to alcohol, drugs, etc.... And how powerful these things are. It made me start thinking about addiction....
It's easy as christians I think to sometimes feel we haven't had to struggle with what the world dubbs as BAD sins...such as the above addictions but, my question to them would be.... Do you over eat? Are you addicted to food, porno, exericise, etc...etc...etc... When we are worried or lonely do we go to food? I think God wants us turning to him and not food or anything else to fill the void when we feel empty. I have done this and still do it... head to the fridge... not good just makes me feel more miserable.
You see God also says do not be gluttons....I think this pertains to food, alcholol, money.. stated in proverbs 23:21, 23:2, and 28:7. This is my take on these verses... I don't claim to be a scholar but that is what I take from these scriptures.

Anyways... just thoughts that were rolling around in this head of mine after reading Steve's story. We are ALL sinners saved by grace no matter what our struggles are. None are greater in Gods eyes than another. Consequences may very but either way, sin is sin. I also have a great appreciation for what the Lord has done in my life and the blessings he has so lavished upon me.

HIP IN THE DIP

So Ben and I are catching a flick and this lady is salsa-ing across the floor, when I turn to Ben and say.... "That's what my hip in the dip looks like." A look of total disbelief crosses his face, as he begins to gut laugh and says, "NAuGH AH" and one eyebrow raised just to mock me further....."What!!!!" "I say...YOU DON'T LIKE MY HIP IN THE DIP!" Still laughing he says.... "Are you kidding me"! ****SMACK*****... Yes all ..... I SMACKED Ben in the chest. You see I have this exercise video that is a dance video and I am learning the HIP IN THE DIP. Benster doesn't appreciate they way I can shake my hips now and informed me that mine is a Norweigan HIP IN THE DIP and that the lady in the movie had a LATIN Hip in the DIP....

I must say.... Mock my hip in the dip... and no hip in the dip for YOU!!!!

A mommy's night on the town.

My head is aching, my body is aching, and I have stomach ache.... Yep that's right I am trying to recover from a night on the town! I had a mommies night out last night... didn't come home until 6:20 this morning and boy am I paying for it....

The drive home from the E.R. was brutal.... Yep had a night in the E.R. Benji's breathing got worse so I took him into the E.R. Found out he is having trouble breathing but it is from all of the congestion in his head and that he has an ear infection as a result of the RSV! I went to bed around 10:30, Jake woke me up at 12:10 asking to play playstation thinking that it was already morning.... NOT! so I got his hacking sneezing body into bed, crawl back into my own bed, fall back asleep until 2 when Bug Bug has a major coughing episode and is screaming from upstairs... I run up help her recover and bring her a drink get her settled and then back to bed. Benji's been sleeping on my chest so I can keep a close watch on his breathing and about 3 he was breathing really fast short breaths so I bundled up and headed into the E.R. The rest is history. With a bottle of amoxicillion I was back on my way home...

In summary... A MOMMMY'S NIGHT ON THE TOWN!
