Par for the course.

I know the holidays had everyone running around crazy with little time for rest. I was looking forward to this week when I would have 4 consectuive days off, 3 of them with my husband. So why is it that at 5pm on my last day of work I start to feel the beginnings of a cold? Doesn't that just figure? I've spent the last 2 days off popping Tylenol and Benadryl and taking 3-4 hour naps. What's wrong with that, you ask? Not a darn thing other than looking at the Christmas ornaments still sitting on the table and getting tired of canned ravioli and peanut butter sandwiches cause I need to go to the store. Oh well, God knew I needed rest and He gave me the chance to take it rather I wanted to or not. I'm grateful that the boys have also let me rest. I didn't even have to give them benadryl!

Lord of Heaven and Earth thank you for my health. I know I am truly blessed with it. Thank you for the gentle reminders to take care of my body. Please, please, please, may I wake up tomorrow feeling 100% so I can enjoy a day with my family? Amen.

I surrender!

I didn't want to take the plunge and follow the masses with having my own blog. I don't have the time for it. But let's face it. That's really the reason why I DO need a blog. The lack of time to keep up with everyone is starting to take it's toll on me. I mean, really. How many of you actually got your Christmas card BEFORE Christmas? Well here it is. My attempt in letting you know what's going on in my life. I'll try to keep it clean. Hard to do with my 2 diaper-wearing, crumb-snatching, attention-seeking boys and my sci-fi loving, Martha Stewart cooking, crack-me-up-funny husband all vying for my attention. Plus my genetics have predestined me to have a quick flaring temper (which makes it harder to cesor my thoughts). I'm my momma's girl all the way when it comes to that. I lovingly refer to those moments as my Linda fits.
Anyway, I'll keep you informed as often as I can and share pictures of my wonderful family with you. I'll get started just after I take a nap. Can't pass up quiet time around this house....that's one of the precursor's to a good old-fashioned Linda fit!
