More winter? Not so bad here... I'll take it!

My poor baby girl! I'm talking about Karla! She took Maddie to the doctor and she has pneumonia!!!! She had a bit of a cough when she was here but it got worse Saturday night and Sunday night.... they didn't sleep much. I say poor Karla because besides the cough... Maddie is acting fine! Crazy as ever! lol! I will pray for a quick healing for Maddie and for Karla in general! People forget to pray for the mom when their kids are sick. They are the ones that don't sleep, worry, pray, and deal with the illness. I remember those days well. (this picture was taken years ago... but I love it)

Didn't do much of nothing yesterday. Having some health issues myself. Going back to the doctor and hoping to get some things figured out this afternoon. I could easily make a mountain out of a molehill! So I'll stay off the search engines and wait to see what Dr. Chun says. Mom says I'm really good at self-diagnosing and then telling the doctor what I have. lol
I didn't leave the house yesterday because of how I was feeling so Mary's son took her to the doctor. She called last night and her vision has improved so much! I'm so happy for her!!! If I am up to it I will take her to the store on Thursday.

I want to wish my niece, Vicky, a very happy birthday today!!!! And I also want to wish Joel's parents.... Roger and Karla a very happy anniversary today!

And can't forget it is Groundhog's Day. I can never remember if his shadow represents longer winter or not... is it a proven fact or just crap. hmmmm.... something to think about. nahhhh. I don't really care. lol! (News flash: The most famous weather forecaster, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow this morning meaning 6 more weeks of winter. )

What I do care about is Valentine's Day coming! Not so much for myself, but it just seems like love is in the air! This was taken 4 years ago at our church. It is an encore presentation of a song they sang at our Valentine Banquet. It is Pastor Mike with wife Heidi, bff Candice and her husband Djamal. I love this song. Enjoy....

Weather to Expect:
We have a few sprinkles this morning. Those will be wrapping up around mid morning and we will be left with a dry day. Some sun looks to break out at times this afternoon.
A few showers move through tomorrow.
Thursday looks dry during the day before rain increases later on in the night through Friday. For the weekend ahead, a few showers will be around Saturday with drier weather on Sunday.

keeping your cool....

Sometimes do you feel like you're talking until you're blue in the face and the person never seems to "get it"? So you raise your voice thinking if you're louder.... the person will understand better? Then that person gets all huffy and things just go downhill from there.
There is a secret to stopping that downward spiral right here.... don't do the voice-raising thing!!! When you let a harsh word slip out, it's going to bring a reaction and no good is going to come from that, will it? When you're about to lose it.... stop; pray; speak gently. You'll be glad you did. ;D

is it Monday AGAIN????

Wow.... it is February. I'm glad. I like February. It means winter is almost over and Spring is on it's way! We have not had any accumulation of snow this year!!! It came down but didn't really stick. That is weird for around here. The rest of the country got it! Especially my family in South Dakota!

I woke up before papa left and feel like I'm ready to go back to bed now! lol!

Here is my picture of the day taken in 1986! The kids always had contests, wrestling and games and stuff. Here is Heather watching Kevon and Tara break the house record of holding someone up! They did it for 20 minutes! Bet they couldn't do it now! lol!I want to wish cousin David DeLay a happy birthday today! That guy is going places. He has been traveling everywhere and he just filmed a TV pilot. Don't even know what all he has produced and directed but I know he's done music video's with Amy, too (his sis). He is my favorite cousin (Bob) and Linda's boy. Nice guy.
So all afternoon we watched the freakiest movie I've ever seen! I had trouble keeping up with it so kept asking Lanny what was going on. It was a good vs. evil movie with lots of praying and speaking about God... and I never got if the evil was suppose to be Satan because it would possess bodies of people Freaky. That's all I can say.
I didn't get to see the Grammy's. Papa hates those kind of shows with a passion! I could have recorded it but I know I will see all the highlights anyway. I did hear that Michael Jackson's two oldest accepted his Lifetime Achievement award. That is nice.... they are such good looking kids. I hope they have a good life.
Taking Mary to her eye appointment and Papa is off tonight. I'm so sick of trying to figure out what to make for dinner. And Papa is so bored with meals..... but he doesn't like me to experiment either. So there. Maybe we'll have steak! Num. Can never go wrong there.

Hope your day is good and you enjoy the rest of your week!!!!! If you have any prayer requests let me know and I will add it to my prayer page I go to every day! xoxo
