Our life in blog

The Blessings of the Lord!

What a day! I started off my morning with a cup of coffee and all my teacher's manuals. I was determined to get a large portion of the grading done this morning. I did my eldest son's grading and had to stop. My husband had other plans for me.

We were able to go to the eye dr. and pay for my glasses. They had to special order them so it will take about a week before I get them. I'm excited though. I won't have to squint to read and they said they would even help my eyes not to get tired from being on the computer. I hope they help me to see alot better. I miss being able to work on embroidery and close work.

We were also able to get my husband a new cordless drill for work. His old one is shot and he had to have a new one. The Lord has really touched our finances and blessed us. It's been enough to get us necessary things like a pr. of glasses for me and a much-needed drill for my husband.

We were also able to pay off our dryer this week. It's now ours! I am so thrilled! That payment being off of our shoulders is such a blessing!

It was a long day and, while I *did* accomplish alot, I am very tired. I have hopes that I can take a nice long warm shower before bed tonight. I'm not sure that I'll be able to, but it would be nice. lol

Yesterday was a busy day as well. I managed to make 2 pans of dressing, a green bean casserole and a jello salad for our carry-in dinner at church tomorrow. I have to cook the turkey early in the wee morning hours and then get everything warmed up and ready to take to church in the morning.

There is always so much going on. I have trouble keeping up with everything. I had intended to blog more often, but with all the added responsibilities I have, I haven't been able to. I'm helping out alot at church and I've added a few more weekly appts. into my schedule. I told my husband I just seem to meet myself coming and going.

There's a weather change coming and my muscles sure can tell it. I love the cooler weather for baking, but it sure does hurt me physically.

After everything I've done the last couple of days, I've decided to just rest tomorrow. I'm going to go to church, going to fix the food for the dinner, but I'm going to let everyone else worry about setting up and tearing down. I need to take care of myself and rest. If I push myself, I will wind up hurting a lot worse than I already do. lol

The thought of crawling into a nice soft bed with warm covers and a soft cool pillow sounds heavenly! My husband however, just informed me that I forgot to make the candied yams for the dinner.   Such is life! I suppose I have to get up and start them this evening.  I thought I was doing so well and I was soo looking forward to going to bed.   

Will everyone really die off if I don't serve the yams?

Will the world *truly* end?   Hmmm............I don't think it will.

I am headed off for a nice soft cool pillow and my nice warm blanket. I hope everyone has a restful evening.
