Way to Bored

I must be way to bored because I am having way to much fun playing Mob Wars on Facebook. I think it's hysterical to punch someone in the face (not for real but on Mob Wars)! I don't know why but every time I do it i get the biggest kick out of it. Again I must be way to bored.

Woo Hoo for Antibiotics!

It's official, bronchitis stinks. I have finally been to the Dr. and have come to the conclusion I have bronchitis. I hate it, I get it about once a year. simply put it just stinks and that's putting it nicely. Hard to breathe, coughing, meds, breathing treatments that make you jittery, ugh! Good news is that antibiotics are amazing! I am starting to feel better not great but definitely better. It's amazing how much we take breathing for granted...you know there is a message in there and one of the days I am actually going to write it. Every time I come down with this I am reminded what a gift God gives us with each breath. Maybe it's just His way of gently reminding me how much I really do need Him.

I am still sick and I am really tired of being sick. I keep thinking this too shall pass, now I am just wondering, when? One of the worse things about not feeling well, besides the obvious, is being cranky. On top of not feeling good, Lola is in heat again. She is still to young to breed so keeping Mugsy away from her is nothing short of a nightmare.

Good news is that my nephew is coming here for Christmas! Things were more confirmed today. I am so excited to see him. I do wish though that we would get to see the rest of his family too. Soon I hope.

We need to finish decorating the Christmas tree, it's hard to find the time when all the kids will be home to help. That used to be a no brainer but now it takes massive planning. Maybe today? We'll see but I an not going to hold my breath I think more realistically it will be more like Thursday or Friday.

A dear friend called last night at the most perfect time, she had no idea how much that call was needed and how great the timing was. God really is amazing in such small but massive ways.

One of My 5 Star Girls

I went to 5 Star today even though I seem to have caught this nasty sickness that has been floating around my family. I am so glad I did. It was our last one for this season, awards were handed out and all my girls were there. I have 8 girls in my group, 6 of them I had last year. They are all wonderfully enthusiastic. I also have a faithful group of girls who like to do crafts, I am learning all their names trying to anyway. It always seems as if time goes by so quickly that we hardly have time to talk. When we do talk it's amazing the things you learn. I am so amazed at the things these girls face on a day to day basis. Today I learned that one of my girls lost two grandparents this week, on the same day. They were both her mothers parents. One passed away Monday morning, the other passed away Monday evening. Carrie is the embodiment of joy. She knows Jesus and it definitely shines through all she says and does. In spite of the tragedies in her family this week, she was at 5Star. Not only was she there but she was her usual joyful self. I just wanted to say, Carrie is an amazing young lady and I am so glad she is one of my girls.

Just an Update

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone, so has the company we had. I really do love the holidays. I enjoy hostessing, cooking and yes even cleaning. My parents came in town, my mother-in-law even came over and stayed the night. We also had several friends over for the day. It really was a good day. One of my favorite parts of the day is going through the sale ads for Black Friday. It's a process that takes all day, off and on. On the last go through I pretty much map out the shopping day. All three kids, my dad, my mother-in-law, and myself got up and hit the stores at 4 a.m. We love doing it! We did get some amazing deals. I got a knife set that was originally 170.00 for 30.00. Hilary got a pair of winter boots and a pair of shoes for 12.00. Those are just a couple of super deals we were able to get.

Now I am slowly getting ready for Christmas. We are going to my parents for Christmas this year. My nephew will even be around at some point near or even on Christmas. I have found that the cold weather and snow are a bit depressing. I could honestly live where it never snowed and cold was 40. I came up with a small sewing project to keep me busy in the off times. I enjoy sewing but my skills are minimal so we shall see how things turn out :)
