The Blessing and The Curse

It's true, I don't usually blog on weekends.

My hubby is home, and I want to spend all my time with him, and not with the computer, but since I am a terrible journal keeper, and this is my mini journal, I have to record this.

This morning after we got Keith up, we were lying in my bed and he was drinking his milk. He pointed to the wall and said "Jesus." Keith thought he had said "outside" but when we looked where he was pointing, there was a picture of Jesus on the wall.

(sorry for the flash on His shoulder)
It simply made my heart melt.
I am so glad that some of what I am teaching him is sticking. He is such a good little boy. This morning he insisted on coming downstairs with me, and then proceeded to help empty the dryer. I LOVE that he likes to help so much.

On another note, the most annoying thing in the world happened yesterday.

I was sending an email to a friend, and Google decided to make me do 5 math problems under 50 seconds before I could send it.
Has anyone else ever had this pop up on them?
I hate math!
I saw the pop up screen, and broke out in a cold sweat.
I called to my husband the math whiz and my voice came out raspy and dry.
What terrible punishment are they inflicting on me just because I want to email a friend?
I am kind of afraid to use Gmail again in fear that Jeffrey wont be nearby to help me.

Haha, I think your gmail has the "goggles" setting clicked.

Ok. That math thing made me laugh. I thought you were kidding! I'm glad "mub" posted a news thing on it. Me thinks you were up too late?? :-P ROFL!

Also, so sweet when your kid(s) start sharing/growing their testimonies. It gets even better as they get older (at least from ages 0-6 1/2 - the ages of my kids lol). :-)

I haven't heard of the math thing happening. If something pops up that isn't related to what I'm doing, I just close it.

Kim,
You were right, I did have the googles setting clicked. Thank you so much for pointing that out. Now I can use gmail without fear. You're the best!

Marian,
How did you know I was up too late? I mean, I was, and it's just spooky that you knew that!

Tricia,
I tried to close it and the computer laughed at me, and gave me a bunch of other math problems to do (these ones were a little easier, but it was still math nonetheless). Dumb gmail.

Shannon,
I do love having a little one. He makes me so happy, and as he grows, so does my happiness. It's just kind of fun that way!

I heard about that math thing on the news. Google added that feature to eliminate people from drunk emailing their friends and regretting it later. Sadly it must be a problem.

Heavenly Presents

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
