AUGH!

Ok, this has been one of those days! I made bread on Monday but decided I did not like it very much so I decided to make some today that I know I like. While I was cleaning up my mess Abigail said she would fix us some soup. How much of a mess can that make??? When you hear, HUH? and OOPS you know you have a problem so I turned around and I did not say "Hallelujah" I said, "for the love of Pete how did you accomplish that." She had soup on the counter, in her hair, on the knife stand as well as under the cabinet and on the floor. Oh, and down the side of the stove! Well, I was going to show her how to do things so I grabbed a spoon and started to stir and yep, perfect mom (not) made a mess too. I plopped soup on the burner! Grrr...we had a good laugh and cleaned it up but still.......... By the way, the bread is finally done and tastes wonderful! I guess I better not make her out to be a slob or klutz. The top would not pop so she tried to push it down and up..........do not do this!

Bloggin' dreams

With all the uproar in my life I have had some strange dreams lately and in one of them most everybodies blog that I look at was there.........it was the Sebring Christian Bloggers convention! Yeh, nutty! We were all trying to decide where to go eat and I was adament that I wanted to go to our new White Castle (we do not have one) and noone else wanted to so I stomped my foot and said, "if you weren't going to do what I wanted why did you come to MY town?" Bless Angie Davis' little heart she looked at Karen and said, "I thought you said she was nice." Karen and Sara told her that I used to be but they did not know what had happened to me! I sure was glad to find that only a dream! I would never do that! I hope!

Thank You Lord

I have so much to be thankful for: Our little friend Johnathan seems to be on the mend. The Drs. had told his parents that he would start to potty on his own and he appears to be doing that! The Lord is also helping my mom and myself through this time. I expect a box any day from her with some of his things and some pictures of his service and as of this moment I think I can handle it, if not, I will wait til my hubby gets home and let him look first. I guess my dad saved alot of stuff. I have been with Daniel 19 years and my dad had a picture of me with an ex-boyfriend! I do thank you all for your prayers and I pray for all of you. I know that having little ones can be difficult and so can having teens so we all need prayers!

In the mood for food!


I am really in the mood to cook! I need some help though...Sara, did you by any chance ever write down the stroganoff recipe that used to come on the bag of noodles? (that I fixed many moons ago) and also, does anyone know whether or not you can freeze whipping cream? I am NOT talking about cool whip. I am a little smarter than that! It is on sale right now and I want to get extra if it can be frozen. I am also planning to start my Thanksgiving meal shopping so if you have any great ideas for that I would love it. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite time of the year and it doesn't bother me a bit if it is just us and I do it all! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Also, are smaller turkeys better or does it matter?

A special Thanks...

A special thank you to all of you that prayed for my mom yesterday. She said she held up pretty well and that my dad looked pretty good considering the circumstances. She got a death certificate and the official cause of death was: malnutrition and dehydration. That was a painful thing to accept especially since there are so many unanswered questions that will never be answered. I do thank God for his love and care in these times. We could never have a better friend or listening ear. I felt so alone during this time (as far as earthly friends) but I had to keep in mind that people just don't know what to say at times like this. Anyway, thank you all for praying and God bless you all!
