Maintenance is coming tomorrow to do a routine check of filters, fire alarms, etc....I have been scurrying around cleaning up things and making sure the hallways were free of clutter so they can walk through without tripping on toys/clothes. I want to make it presentable when they come. As I am writing this I am now thinking, "what if we put as much effort into our spiritual lives with making sure hallways were free of clutter and cobwebs as we do with our physical"??? I wonder what our lives would be like. Instead of rushing around to clean bathrooms we were rushing around to get our bible and read it so we could clean out our minds from impurities that might be lurking about. Just a thought...I hadn't planned on taking this direction with this blog, but God had different plans when he struck me with that thought and led me to write it! :) YAY GOD!
I visited the endodontist today for a root canal consult and was praising the Lord when the dr. told me it did not need retreated, only capped! This will save us quite a bit of money also hassle, pain and time! My next step is wisdom teeth extraction . I will keep you updated on how/when that is/goes.
This afternoon I went to a friends house and helped her organize her room. I enjoyed spending time just chatting with her and getting to know her better as we cleaned. she plays guitar so we sat down and sang some songs when we finished up cleaning and it was so nice to just sit back, start singing and worshipping from her room. You need not be in a church or at a church function to worship and praise God. After I left there I came home and spent the evening playing with the kids. Kyler had learned his lesson last night about hitting and throwing fits so I was proud to say none of that occurred tonight. Also, BOTH boys have implemented in and been using EACH TIME the new interrupt rule. Where they grab my arm/wrist to get my attention instead of hollering out, mom mom mooooooooommmmmmmmmmm.....once they do this I acknowledge them within a minute or two and address the situation. This causes less stress and screaming and teaches manners and respect. I am so greatful to Michelle for sharing this with me! I am praying it continues to work. My husband even followed it yesterday when I was talking to someone and he wanted to talk to me too. LOL.
I am so tired but I am dying to start up on this new book...it's Dobsons', bringing up BOYS...I've had it for awhile but just haven't read it all the way through so i am just going to start over cuz it's been awhile since I began reading it. could use a fresh start!
Hoping for a good nights rest tonight and the ability to get up and go walking tomorrow. I've not been since last week...
going to go enjoy lying my head on the pillow and passing out for a few hours! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
