Be Still

It has been a time of being still. Never leaving the house while fighting viruses that seem to be waging war in my home.  It started over a week ago with me. Coughs, aches, pains, tissues, tears from all the coughs, exhaustion. Then it was the kids. All of them. Fevers, coughs, and more tissues. The man of the home is well. We call him the horse because he is rarely sick. The poor fellow stayed home from work three days in a row to care for everyone else. When he went back yesterday, I thought it fitting to make him some pies. To say thank you and all.

Before the sicknesses began, I redid the dining room. I shall post pictures soon. Caleb blames it all on being pregnant. He is probably right.

Tomorrow is Caleb's birthday. 29!

We have two round trip tickets to use anywhere in the world that Airtran goes. We want to go somewhere before #4 comes. Any idea??!!

I am amazed at how undependable people are in general. Myself included. People busy themselves with an array of junk that distract them from other stuff that maybe should be more important. When I put all my hopes in people, I'm always let down. We are all flawed.

I LOVE that I can be home all the time. My goal is to only fill the gas tank up once per month ($100) and I really think it's possible. I'm thinking that I will go out every other week for food, once a week for bible study/social gatherings and then once for church. I'm not going to be legalistic by any means but I think it's realistic with my love-to-be-home nature.

Today I am trying to make Babkah. I've never heard of it before not but it looks really cool. You should try it too.

My credit cards are all cut up. I love cash.

I just started using mineral makeup. I'm never....I mean NEVER going back! Easy, natural, looks good...what's not to love?

My husband was grumpy last night. When I asked him why, he said that he wanted to buy me the Bosch mixer that I want but there is a bill that needs paying instead. He's a great guy.
