| means:
.....recuperating from a busy weekend
.....itching because I am working a sweat cleaning & cooking! Rise in body temp. or heat induces my itching. Talk about annoying!
.....5 loads of laundry which was washed, dried, & folded (thanks to my 8yo daughter for helping me w/this one!)
.....cleaning up each room in the house, only to be followed by my 3yo making his little trail (ie mess)  behind me
.....meditating on Scripture. HOPE of God's Word helps me get through a day!
.....vacuming carpets, baseboards, and tile floors. Man, how does so much dirt get tracked in everywhere?
.....filling up
.....breaking up arguments amidst brothers, in the 1 foot deep tiny pool outside
.....helping my son make his newest project, a bow & arrow set
.....chatting with dear friends online in between all this....always encouraged by friends, some who are even far away
.....helped my two oldest type/send emails & pictures to their friends in Tennessee. One of them typed themselves& needed constant spelling help, the other one dictated his to me, which he'd say something, then change it, then change how he said it, etc.....so FUN to hear what they want to say to their friends far away.
.....making 2 meals, one for my sis & family of 8, who is sick & the other for us and out of town company joining us tonight!
.....cutting up 2 bowls of watermelon, making cookies & 2 banana puddings, 2 salads, and more
.....doing dishes from all the above
.....cleaning the floors & kitchen because of the above
.....somewhere in there getting lunch made for the kids
.....and cleaning up their drips & stickiness from eating watermelon
.....cleaning bathroom sinks, toilets, & tubs
.....thinking about how tomorrow at Schlitterbahn with my family & friends coming into town will be a wonderful break after today! And that it's FREE!
.....picking up cars & "race tracks" made throughout the house. I guess the kids could have picked them up, but they were playing so sweetly outside (finally!) during that time!
.....listening to praise music that is playing on my iTunes every time I walk through my bedroom
.....being reminded of what Christ did at the cross, that he alone is HOLY and good and righteous. That HE is a shelter in my storm, and His LOVE is deeper than I can fathom. That even in the mundane, daily jobs of a mom HE is worthy to be praised!
Now, the question is: How am I going to fit in SCHOOL time amidst all this starting a few weeks from now?
Now that.......I DON'T want to think about today!
And here's my hard working 3 year old! He spent at least 20 minutes vacuming (the same rug!) for me!
Watcha doing, Chan?
A serious job
 
 
  
What FUN this little guy is!
(I've filled in this post for the past few hours, when I walk by the computer, but now I'm finally done I think!)
And I think I'm done "working" for the day. But a mom's work is really never done!

| After praying, trusting, and waiting last week, we got a call at 11:25 pm on Thursday night from the security guard at the river park. Someone at the river park found the camera bag on SATURDAY night, apparantly just after we left, so a local, and knew just who to give it to. So, he, the security guard had it since Sat. but didn't know whose it was!!!!! (Get that! God had answered my prayer before I even knew it had gone missing and started to pray about it!!!!)
The security guard had been down to the park Thursday night and saw all the signs I'd placed out there. He had actually since then charged up the camera battery and gone through the pictures trying to find a way to figure out whose it was. There were pics left on there of the trip, and one of the van, so he was going to run a check on the license of the van.
Anyway, I just couldn't believe he had it! There was also a chair left with it! Somehow Seth had forgotten to load a chair AND the camera bag!!! He says he must have really really been out of it!!!! And amazing he didn't run it over pulling away from that parking space. Seriously, a miracle. Although I was SO sad over this all week, I felt God's peace. I was so bummed, but yet not worried. HE just wanted me to trust Him. And to learn to rest, to wait, to have hope. I'm still amazed.
Anyway, just wanted everyone to share in our happiness, relief, and an answer to prayer!
Sleep well. God is good.
He even cares about cameras, pictures, videos and such......HE cares about me.
And here are some of my favorite pics of the cousins on our beach trip!
Here they are looking into the SUN! Which obviously didn't work too well with most of them!
So, we went with the backsides of them! Which turned out cute with them all holding hands.
