So Grandma Gloria finally came back from her week long vacation in Florida with her sister Sarah. Boy did they have fun. Sitting around watching movies, walking the beach finding shells, shopping, eating out, etc...
Journey, Libby and I went to get her on Monday evening and we had a blast at the airport. We went to the observation area (south bend) and then up and down stairs, running around seats, and causing general mayhem wherever we went.
It was fun. The girls giggled and giggled. It was good to hear. They were thrilled to have Grandma back.
Now back to our routine!

Ramblings of the simple minded
Its time to slow down. Why must I hurray? What am I hurrying to? Will the world end with out me? AM I that important? Nope. Life would go on without me.
I have really been thinking about all that i DO. When do I sit and listen? I am always doing. This year I am learning to say no to doing. I am cutting back on doing and just trying to be in my girls lives. Still learning that very hard but important lesson that dishes can wait...cleaning the house can wait but sitting and playing games or learning a craft together shouldn't wait.
Latest Info on girls:
Journey-is in kindergarten and the excitement of it all is fading. She asked how much longer she has to go to school? I said, "this year or all together?" She is about to lose her 2nd tooth!
Liberty - plays office all the time. She wants any unopened junk mail i will give her. She usually has herself surrounded by 3 to 5 stuffed animals and 2 babies.

Did you know?
Did you know that I had an accident? Yep, Jan 20th I was taking my brother, niece, and Libby home from the pediatrician when i hit some black ice and slid sideways into a telephone poll.
Could have been worse! Almost went into on-coming traffic and didn't do much damage as there was so much snow alongside the road that it slowed us down!
Then on the 24th Virgil and I went tubing with friends from church and ended up with a black & blue & red & yellow shin. OW. What a ride!
But all is well with my soul. I am walking and still able to drive the jeep. The jeep goes in on Feb 2nd or 9th to get fixed. My leg will probably be colored till May! Its bad.

webs
So I volunteered to help with the Middlebury Elementary PTO Web page. WHY? I am not sure. OK so yes, I know why i did it. Cause I love doing stuff like that. However, things are not always as it seems with some FREE web building sites. But that is enough for now.

January 12
Oh what a day it has been! I got to be in Journeys class room for an hour this morning. then to the eye doctor to get my eyes checked so they would give me contacts for my right eye since walmart screwed up my last contact lense purchase. so any whoooooo finished that and went to a friends to talk. that was nice....relaxing.
came home to yummy food and then watched donnies kids for a little while they drove around our little town looking at houses! hmmmmm think they might move back soon? NO...they were checking out cousins houses not just houses.
oh well...tonight i have a PTO meeting and then i am off to bed. Ever since I got strep i have not been able to get enough sleep!

Deuteronomy 8
Deut 8:3b "to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. "
I was watching Joyce Myers this morning and her message was on Deuteronomy 8:1-11.
I was amazed at what God had to say through her and how it was just what Virgil and I had been discussing this past weekend. How we just can't seem to get ahead. Where is our blessing God? What are we doing wrong?
As Joyce puts it, we just aren't ready for what we think we want or need! God knows what is best for us and obviously if we don't have it we are not ready for it. Whatever "it" may be.
I learned I must be content w/ what I have before I am ready to recieve more from God. Cause more doesn't mean happier.
