I'm so sorry that I have not been on this week. It has been a very busy week and the Littles have both been sick. On Wednesday I finally had to take both of them to the Dr. We didn't see their regular pedi, but one of the partners. She was just as nice and sweet and even let me be more hands on. Letting me see their Ears, Nose and Throats. Little Monkey ended up having a Sinus Infection which stemmed from a cold that just didn't go away, he also had a throat infection and swollen tonsuls (this was a first for that), he also has a double ear infection. I'm having to deal with some issues of resentment for the ENT not putting tubes in his ears when he had his adnenoids removed. This is his 3 set of double ear infections in the past 6mns! Princess JoJo wasn't really sick, she was due for her check up and had an appt for Friday, but on Monday evening her left ear was snotty looking. Tuesday morning it was the same so I called and moved her appt. She ended up having a perferation in her left ear that was leaking puss, which was ok that it perferated b/c that let the pressure out and didn't cause a rupture! So her left ear was infected and so was her right. This makes double ear infection 2 in 4 months for her, so the Dr said she may be looking at tubes if they don't stop! =( She was starting to get a little snotty herself, but wasn't much at the time. So she had to get special ear drops to help the ***** ear, which Praise the Lord it is cleared up! Both of them have been feeling better the past 2 days, Praise the Lord! Princess JoJo has been getting a little cough, but I'm watching in because last time it started with a running nose and ended with brocciolitus (sp?).
I haven't really got much done this week. Mostly cuddleing, which is VERY important, and a little bit of napping when the Littles napped, which they did A LOT!
Tuesday was Field Trip # 3 with MOM, MOPS On the Move. We went to a local, big chain in the Southren Region, grocery and had a tour. It was fun, we watched the cake makers decorate cakes, watched the bakers make bread and even got to hold so pizza dough and squish it around, we saw and talked about all the different meats, fruits, veggies and dairy products, and found out how the check out line works! By the way I think we are going to start buying 1 new fruit every time we go shopping and learning about them and seeing if we like them, there were so many and it was fun finding out about them!
Wednesday after the Drs we spent the evening in our Father's House. It was such a blessing! A lot of it meant so much to me, but there was one line the our pastor said that I really needed to hear and had been praying hard about all day and just asking God to give me His answer in a VERY clear manner, and he did! Praise God! Princess JoJo always goes to the service with me, but this time Little Monkey did as well since he was sick and I didn't want him infecting the whole preschool! He did so well in church, then Princess JoJo go very upset and we end up having to move to the close cirrcut TV room to finish the sermon.
Yesterday was shopping day and we did very well, on both time and money. Today was Moms Day Out with MOPS. It was a shopping day. Our MOPPETS workers watched our children so we could do Christmas Shopping. Little Monkey went, but Princess JoJo stayed with me. It was a blessing because without my Beloved here I wasn't sure how I was going to shop for Little Monkey? He's not naive anymore and won't not know that the something is for him. During this time I also bought our Christmas Tree. This year we are having an artifical tree. Usually we have real trees, my beloved loves them I really don't mind one way or the other. I saw this tree, 6.5' tall with lights for $30 and asked my Beloved if I could get this tree. I got the green light, since he won't really be here (we're going to GA for Christmas Lord Willing!) for the next 2 Christmases (probably won't be back til Jan 09 from his det). So it was a blessing to me to be able to get this tree. I had origianally thought about not doing Christmas decorations, but thought that wouldn't be fair to Little Monkey, so we started decorating. We wrapped our "candy lights" as we call them around the porch railing and banaster as well as around the front door. Then we hung our star of Bethlahem and Angel in the windows. I have some candles to go in the windows too and we started decorating the tree tonight as well. We will probably not finish til Monday since tomorrow is the Lord's Day!
I also finished my skirt, just finished a little while ago after the Littles went to bed. I took a picture, but I have no way to get it on here right now, so I'm hoping to get to the store soon and get them on CD so I can start posting so pictures and so I can start filing them too!
I hope everyone has a Blessed Lord's Day tomorrow!
"Blessed are they that dwell in thy house:
they will be still praising thee.
Selah."
