• Monday – a catch up

  Well I am happy to announce that I feel like myself this morning! I got up at 5 and had coffee, I couldn’t bring myself to even think about drinking any yesterday. I went out to start the truck and got it swept off after I swept a path out there from the new snow cover last night.

  Got Andy to work and came home and shoveled the rest of the drive and the walks came back in the house and finished up my quiet time. I was overwhelmed with God’s goodness driving home listening to the Christmas songs KNOWING the truth of God’s promise and the promises fulfilled in Jesus Christ! Death has died and Jesus is alive again never to die again! Praise God

  Saturday was a good day. I was able to sleep in a little. It had been a late night after Johnson’s which was wonderful but I did get to sleep in a bit then took Andy to work and came home and enjoyed my quiet time and quiet house.

  Cocoa and Carols was good as far as the choirs of Jillian and Hannah. The girls did a superb job! I was not impressed with the Wash show choirs AT ALL! Not one Christmas song- seriously? If I had wanted to watch your show I would have gone to see it at another time. Boo to the director who totally ignored the season and did not prepare the kids to do any type of Christmas songs and Rudolph does NOT count! – ok there is my rant.

  I came home after running to get Andy and stopping for a ‘samach’ at Jimmy John’s, Andys treat and rested on the couch hoping I could catch a few zzzz’s but at least I rested. I got up and got ready to head into the Y.

  The night went by really fast! I was busy getting tags for gifts made and writing some Christmas cards (I need to mail them today!) when I was done with all of that I looked at Pinterest for a while then got on youtube and found funny baby video’s and was laughing my head off when Jackie asked me what was so funny I called her over to my computer and showed her and I said it was her and then she started laughing as well. I don’t know how to make a link but if you are interested there it is –>(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mXgJuL1drQ)

  Ron Juhl and Wyat were there and so was the news guy Chris Earl. There were about 75 boy scouts and I gotta say the ones we interacted with were so polite and appreciative of us working for them to be locked in at the Y. the night went by really fast and the noise levels weren’t bad for the most part.

  I came home about 6:50 am and realized Andy didn’t have to be up till 7:20 and when I left the night before I told him he could lock the screen door because I din’t think I would be home till he was gone to work – Brittany came and took him – so I din’t want to wake him up early by pounding on the door so I walked over to Hardees and had some breakfast. When I was walking back home Brittany and Andy were just pulling out of the drive headed for Panera. I had taken a half tylenol pm before I ate breakfast so by the time I came in and got ready for bed I was ready to sleep.

  I slept till noon then decided to get up so I could sleep at night. When I got up I was so tired and overwhelmed with sadness- so many things going on in people’s lives and missing Doug terribly that all I could do was cry. I read my bible but felt like I was spiraling down. I had wanted to be in church to hear JoAnna sing but just couldn’t . . . so I sat and cried and cried, I have not had that happen in a long time (thank God!) I texted with my girls to see if one of them would pick up Andy from work, I just couldn’t get dressed and go out! I also asked the girls to pray because I was having such a hard time. Robbyn said she would Thank YOu , Jesus for that blessing. I took a shower and got something to eat and with the girls praying for me I was much better when Robbyn came with Andy It was so nice to chat with her and catch up. Thank you again Robbyn for getting him from work for me, you were a life savor.

  I lay on the couch to nap through white Christmas but ended up talking to JoAnna on the phone which this heart needed more than sleep. Texted with Sheila and made plans to go to Mt Vernon this morning then decided to look for Mickey’s Christmas Carol or Muppets Christmas carol on Netflix but settled upon On Golden Pond (go figure).

  I finally went to bed at 9 and slept I woke up thinking it was almost time to get up only to see the clock say 12:29 bonus! I had a great night’s sleep and like I said woke up this morning feeling like myself thank You Jesus!!!

  now on the the adventure called today!
