One of those days

I am having one of those days. I blame it on hormones. Ya know, the days where nobody can do anything right and you snap and think to yourself, "who am I?!!" This post is going to probably be pretty random. Fair warning!!

My girl (Aubrey)-We are fighting lately. A lot. She is stubborn. I, too, am stubborn. Wade tells me that I just need to be more patient, as he steps in to save the day. (Or to save Aubrey from her mama's wrath!!) Patience...not something I want. In the heat of the moment, I want to win. I want to prove who is stronger, who is the MOM!! Grrr. I know I need to pray more for her, (and for myself), rather then fight with her, but I really do struggle.

My Man (Wade)- He is just funny. We got a new tv...from the dump. Well, a guy was dropping it off at the dump when my crazy man intercepted it and upon asking him if the thing worked, talked him into dropping it off at our house instead. It is HUGE. It's a projection screen tv and is now in our playroom, which we have now dubbed the rec room. It is now too cool to be a kid's "play room". We got the tv inside and decided that the white room where our children have been playing for the last six years was not "fancy" enough to house such a monument. So we ran to the store and grabbed some paint. We now have a fancy new room in our home, encouraging us to get on the ball and get the rest of the house looking almost as fancy!! My friend is coming by this week to recommend colors!! Ha ha!!

My boy (Nathan)-What can I say about Nathan. He just is. He's as steady as can be. Always up, unless you tell him that he can't bring a toy somewhere that he thinks needs to go with him. (Today it was a mini video game to church!! I ruined his whole day by vetoing that one!!) We met with his teacher this week for parent/teacher conferences. He's a smart kid. He loves, loves, loves to read and has already told me that he can't wait for 2nd grade so he can have harder work!! Ha ha!! Crazy kid!! I wish I was able to keep up with him. My mind whirls sometimes with that boy.

Me -I am currently on day 14 of a 90 day challenge to read the Bible through in it's entirety. I'm in Deuteronomy right now. I am very glad to be done with Leviticus and Numbers, and now in Deuteronomy it's Moses' recap of the 40 years in the wilderness and then how to proceed in the future. It's interesting, but I can't wait until they get into the Promised Land!! I'm ready for some more excitement!! Ha ha!! This challenge has taken me about 45 minutes each day, but it is totally worth it. I really am loving it. Like I've said before...I love a good challenge. I need something to "finish". (I was gonna say conquer, but that would probably not be the correct terminology for finishing the Bible!!)

I'm also in my last week and a half of Beth Moore's "Jesus the One and Only" Bible Study. It's AMAZING! I love Jesus. I love everything about him. I have tears in my eyes right now just typing about it. He is so awesome and He loves us so much. He was such an awesome man. He loved people in a way that is beyond what I can imagine. I have thoroughly enjoyed this study, and have challenged and stirred up in so many ways. It is one that I want to do again, with a new group of ladies. I think it's priceless.

I am also feeling bad. Not only hormonal and grumpy, but I have had a cold for about two months. Actually, I think I'm on my 3rd cold in two months. I have coughed so much, that I now have a muscle that is super tight and it hurts to cough, sneeze, or even move in some ways. I'm going to have to go in tomorrow for a dr's appt. It's been a week and it's not getting better. This has effected my exercising, which I know adds to my over-all not feeling well, also, because I like to be able to exercise. It helps me be able to eat more food and it is that time of year, when a girl likes to eat!!

Well, that's it for now. Wade just called. He and the kids are heading to DQ with the group that just finished our nursing home ministry. (Yes, he saved his children from me this afternoon!!) I'm gonna get my house in some kind of order and get ready for relaxing in our new "rec room" with my family and a dvd!!
