I love the mind of kids

We are currently re-listening to "My Book of Bible Stories" on tape in the car. Actually we have heard them multiple times, but this momma sure doesn't mind!

Last week while on the way to the store, DS7 asked to listen to "Bible stories" on the way. We made sure that our books were ready and in went the tape. Listened to the stories and then stopped the tape to go into the store.

As DS7 was waiting for his sister to get out of the van, he goes "Mom, can God do anything?"

"Yes, He can." was my reply.

"ANYTHING?" he asked with only the questioning that a kid can do....

Yes, "I", ANYTHING." Came my reply.

"WHOA!" was his emphatic response.

So, next time I am frustrated with life, I will recall his reaction and just remember Jehovah can do ANYTHING! and that is just "WHOA!" in my book.

Finally a snow day.

The kids are home from school today. We got ourselves a little snow storm yesterday. Our road seems fine, but we are on a "main" road and I am SURE that some of the back or "side" roads are bad.

The kids are playing and I am spending some time on the computer.

Not alot going on here, which is good. I am on a search for a bread recipe that is similar to the Italian bread that is sold at my local Giant. Kayla advised me to ask someone there, so I did. The woman I asked looked at me like I had grown a third eye. LOLOL

I will try and ask another lady that I chat with on a regular basis. Maybe she will be more helpful.

I hope to work on some sewing projects today. I figure get the fireplace going and just enjoy the sound of my sewing machine. LOL

Have a great day everyone.

**Oh....and Traci, I really wasn't "trying" to keep things from you. Really, I just never thought to mention things like my blog or website. But, now you know.

I finally have a foot in the door!

Well, I got a call today from a teacher at my kiddos school, wanting to have me as a substitute teacher! YEAH! Of course, before we could get things finalized her doctor called and needed to re-schedule. LOLOLOL BUT, she is going to call me when she has the new date (which she said should be tomorrow, Thursday), AND she wants to schedule me for a date in March!

I was getting worried for alittle bit there! I kept logging into the website for our county and seeing NOTHING! Now, I have found out that the teachers at my kids school arrange their own!

I will start spreading the word some more that I am available. I just need to make sure that I continue putting my field ministry and my family before working. I will just be happy to actually start subbing!

Update on Donny's hand.

Hi all,

I just realized that I never gave an update on how Donny's hand was doing.

It is healed now. It is still pink where the worst burns were, but that will fade in time.

Here are a couple of pictures of the day it happened:

Shameless plug!

Okay....maybe I should have said "shameless plea", but anyways.... LOLOLOL


Have any of the 2 or 3 people that read this blog ever checked out my website or message board???? Any takers???? LOL

I have not updated my website recently, but will be working on that later today.

Hope to "see" you there!

Menu planning

Okay, I am trying to plan my meals out for the next two weeks. I already had them planned, but dear DH threw a bit of kink into my plans....so need to re-arange things abit. LOLOL

I want to stay below $300 for groceries this month. It really should be within reason. I have a fully stocked pantry and freezer, I just need the discipline to use what I have and plan ahead so I am not running to the store for something to fix. (yes, I have been known to do this. I am not proud of it, but I will be honest.)

I have almost given up on coupons in my area. They are either for products that I do not use...or I can not combine sales/coupons deals. I will still clip them, but not order any more online. We are getting a new store up the road, maybe that will stir things up abit. LOL
