Better think twice..

Did I seriously just blow on my ice cream because it was too cold in my mouth?? I am thinking my reflexes are a little out of wack. Why do the kids wait until bedtime to start coughing up a major storm? I just emptied the humidifier so it wouldn't grow mold in it and I thought, "Oh yeah, they aren't having colds anymore so we don't need this thing now" And now they are in there hacking and snorting up their snot. ewwww... Kyler was munching on something the other day for like 1 whole minute and I asked him what in the world he had in his mouth because I had not given him anything to eat. His four year old little serious voice piped up and said, "mom, I'm eating my booger and it' sa chewy one so it takes longer" I WAS NOT SURPRISED and it was too late to do anything about it. Just told him that boogers belong in kleenexes and if you must eat them then do it in the privacy of your own room! lol how's that for good advice?
Speaking of advice God gives us some clear cut advice in so many areas of life . What I relearned this morning was that God advises us to run to Him not away from Him in our trials. We have never done anything so bad that God can not wipe away and we be able to move on in our spiritual lives. In I John 2:1 it says, My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But, if you do sin, there is someone to plead for you before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who pleases God completely.
I felt this morning as if my attitude were all over the place and my thoughts were definitely not his thoughts and so my actions were not what His would of been either. Just the way I grumpily bumped along today off and on was more depressing for me than anyone else. I kept trying to be vibrant and chipper but my fuse was shorter then usual today and I still need to stop and ask God to forgive me for getting so worked up over small little details or issues in my life that could be better dealt with if I were to just pray in my struggles instead of lose sight and faith altogether.
Sharp uncomfortable pain has been shooting out of the middle of my back and off my right shoulder all yesterday and today. I took ibuprofen earlier and a muscle relaxer but it didn't seem to help any. I still feel twisted like pretzel as I said yesterday. But very sore and nothing seems to be helping. Perhaps I need to practice better posture, which I am trying to do when I sit here but often I slump over and then it starts hurting worse. I could not have a job where I had to sit behind a desk all day. I would go insane not being able to get up and go do stuff somewhere else. I am a go go go people person most of the time. So sitting down every day all day is difficult for me. Unless I am on facebook. ha ha ha. Just pray that this will subside sooner then later. I count myself blessed to have a functioning back and shoulder though so I am not trying to complain, just sharing what is going on painwise.
A few weeks ago Kyler had scratched on the kitchen table with a fork. He had engraved alphabet letters into it. He denied having done it at first and then later he finally came to and admitted it. so he was punished and then a couple weeks later He had done it again and Cade caught him in the act. He was disciplined again and put to bed at 6:00 when it occurred and it made him sad that Cade and I were still up and he couldn't come play. I thought, surely this will end his fork engraving days...but sure enough but this morning at breakfast he and cade were eating and I heard the infamous holler, "mooooooooommmmmm, Kyler's cutting on the table again.." so I went over and caught him in the act and asked him why he did it?? " He replied something to the effect of "cade was singing the song wrong or had said something wrong in his mind..." either way, it had nothing to do with needing to dig the letter A into our nice kitchen table. I sware we need one of those plexiglass things over top. Suffice it to say, he lost two days of playing games/tv. And for Kyler that's a lot since his famous quote when I say it's time to turn the games off and play something else is, "but that's the only thing we know!" which is SOOOO NOT TRUE. these kids play a lot of games but they also love playdoh and legos and coloring and playing regular board games too. But he cracks me up with the things he says.
I still have to run an errand tonight since my husband decided to go to sleep at 5:00 or so. I was going to send him but I guess it will be me! I need to get out anyways...had a long day!
Tomorrow is the Elkridge FireHouse open hall from 10-2 if anyone wants to come. I will be working there and I have no clue what I will be doing, but wherever they need service done I will be volunteering!
Going to try to get some good rest tonight as well. I just hope I don't have goofy dreams like I did last night...I woke up because in my dream a friend of mine was calling me, same ringtone that she has on my phone and this is what woke me up this morning right at the perfect time...so I ended up texting her at 5 a.m. to thank her for being my wakeup call in my dream! ha ha. she was up too, cuz we go walking...didn't want you to think I go around calling my friend at the wee hours of the day...you migh tthink twice before getting to know me eh? :)
Goodnight!
