Thursday and Friday were dreary, rainy cool days, and me and my household were just as lazy. Two days in a row, all I've gotten done was wash dishes and fix supper. I read a good devotional yesterday from Proverbs 31, they always have such good devotions, and more often than not, they can be related to my personal life, either past, or present.
Now for the updates:
Erin:
Well, I need to call Monday and make an appointment for my 6 week checkup with my doctor, I had one on Monday February 18, but I had sent Travis to Greenville to pick up some jars, because we have two candle orders and didn't have any jars to make them with, and while he was gone I got a phone call that his Papa had passed away, and so I called the jar place and had them to have Travis to call me. I told him I would cancel my appointment and that I wanted him to go to the funeral (his family had waited to let us know that his Papa had passed away until 2 hours before the funeral) so he did, he wasn't by any means dressed for the occasion, but he went, and I canceled my appointment, and stayed home with Becca (he had taken Lydia with him). Becca and I had a good day that day, it was my first time alone with her just me and her, and it was great! I've been really lazy these past two days with the weather sending us such much needed napping weather, we have been in a drought for so long now. I printed me off a Bible reading plan this morning, I seem to get so sidetracked when I try to read the Bible through no matter what the plan I use is so I decided to do a thirty day New Testament reading program, then hopefully *when* I stick to that it will be easier to then do the ninety day reading plan. I desperately hope to get some more things accomplished today than the past two days. I've had a few days of upset stomach and its affecting Becca as well, she is just staying so gassy. My back has been catching for the past week of so and when it does, I cant' move at all until it releases.
Travis:
Travis has put in a few more job applications the past couple of days. He's still working out at the couple's house from church, and apparently is nearing the end on one of the rooms he's been working on. He's been in a good bit of pain here lately, and of course when that happens he seems to take it out on anything in his sight, but he's been very good about controlling his anger, and pain so I'm proud of him for that. Thursday in the mail, we got one of those mailers from one of the local car dealers, saying if this key opens the key to the box you could win one of these two cars, well, the other options were to take the cash value of the cars, or you could win a $5 Wal-Mart card, or you could win nothing and be entered in a drawing for $5,000.00, well, hey its worth a shot right, you either win a new car, get some money, or a free Wal-Mart card, so before he went to work on the house he's working on he stopped by and of course what did he win..... the gift card. He missed an appointment at DSS Thursday so he had to go by there and set up another appointment after he left the car dealership, and they set him up another appointment for this coming Thursday.
Katie Grace:
Ok, so for a little background before I mention this.... A school bus driver in Ware Shoals was arrested this week for duct taping the children on her bus (see story here) so I asked Katie Grace what Ms. Rose (her bus driver) does to the children when they are acting badly on the bus. Here is what she said "If you are sitting in the back she makes you come sit at the front." Then she said. "and if you are bad lots of times you will get a bus slip" then I said what is a bus slip, and she said "I don't know, I think its when the bus gives you a spanking, because Ms. Rose drives the 'Magic School bus'." I thought that was so cute, I didn't even know that she had heard of the 'Magic School bus', but she said they read about it in the library at school. She didn't have school yesterday, it was a teachers work day. She had a fun day at home, we did absolutely nothing! I let her stay in her pj's all day, and we watched movies, and did some well needed and appreciated cuddling. I gave her a new snack yesterday, ants on a log, and she loved it, at first she just wanted the peanut butter and the raisins, but then when she started asking for more and I noticed she had not touched the celery, I told her to try them all in one bite, then she wanted more, and of course by then, we were out of celery.
Lydia:
Lydia was super sweet the past few days. She is getting so grown up. She is so smart. She can count further now at 3 1/2 than Katie Grace could count at the Christmas break of this school year, I guess its really benefited her as well as Katie Grace to work with Katie Grace around her. I guess the things that Katie Grace struggles with and needs extra help with will probably be Lydia's strong points if that continues to the be trend. Lydia still doesn't' like raisins so yesterdays snack wasn't' one she appreciated, she just ate the peanut butter, she wouldn't even attempt to try the celery. In the past week or so her imagination has really improved, she is playing with things that never really interested Katie Grace, but of course when Katie Grace is around, she wants to be just like her. Lydia didn't have as many questions yesterday, but instead had lots of self led play with her imagination, I'm proud of her for that, Katie Grace didn't ever really do much of that. I'm glad that she has begun to smile more often now, used to if you caught her smiling she would stop, and now she is smiling and proud of her smiles. She is eager to learn, but doesn't want to do anything to learn, she just wants to be able to know things, that she things she should know.
Becca:
Becca has had a few good days, she's been nursing quite well, and actually last night slept from 12:45am to 5:40am I was so pleased to have had that much sleep at one time!! woo hoo She is getting so big! I cant' believe just a little over 4 weeks ago (WHAT?!?!?!? I can't believe she is even that old much less older than that) that the doctors put her in the hospital for failure to thrive, and were wanting to give up on her, b/c she was losing so much weight, and now she is such a chunk! She is smiling more and more each day, and the girls are even getting excited over it too! Poor little thing has such a bad diaper rash, and is in such pain when she wets or soils her diaper. She just smiles and smiles when I sing her body parts to her at each diaper change, she loves the song I made up, its just "Nose, ears, cheeks, *high pitched* chin" and then repeated over and over again and she just loves it. She also has the most painful hiccups and almost always when she has them she spits up :( Well, I'm sure gonna pay for this, she went back to sleep and I've stayed up now Katie Grace is up, and I'm not gonna get to go back to sleep :(
Today is kinda cloudy its off and on raining, and currently its 46 degrees. The weather bug says we are supposed to have dense fog throughout the morning.
Well, I'm getting away from here now, and gonna try to get some rest before Becca wakes up again.
