What I ment to say

WIMTS
click here for more what i ment to say's

SO yesterday morning I put my son on his school van and i notice my dog is heading up the hill.. i called and he didnt answer so about 20 minutes later i load my other kids up and are off to drop the hubby at work and kids at school.. we get up the road and there is the dog . layin in the road DEAD.. it was OBVIOUSLY hit by my son's school van while my son was on it. we are the only house and that was the only vehicle down that part of the road. so i called my sons school and talk to the van driver and his boss and this is what the van driver said to me.. Well I seen him along side of the road but if i hit him i didnt notice it, that road is so bumpy anyways. so i said well let me speak to your supervior.. what i meant to say was...  wtf.. if  you do not pay that much attention to notice you ran over a 150lb DOG you dont need to be driving children .. so there for my kid will NOT be riding that van anymore and the school WILL be paying me the $140 i paid for the dog or else i am goin to come UNGLUED.... 

Works for me Wednesday..



So i keep a stack of magazines in a holder in the back of my truck so if im somewhere and bored i have something to do.. WELL i went to swap them out and noticed that they had some how gotten wet on the bottom and teh pages were sticking together so i separated each page and then used my blow dryer to dry them and now they are crinkled but dry and I saved my magazines. So that is what worked for me.. hope it works for you to and click HERE for more wednesdays

Strain Family Update

SO a little update on the family, Miss Miah is an aspiring beautician, she got the scissors down awhile back and cut a chunk out of her bangs and two big chunks out of the back the before and after are below.I was really disappointed I am not very happy about her boy hair cut.

Before she cut her hair

after she cut it..


Miss Ellie is sporting two new teeth on the bottom, rolling all over the place , really trying to sit up and saying da da da .. little stinker.. but an old wives tale says that what ever a little one says first as to momma or daddy that is the gender of the next baby . SO hopfully it is right. Gus deserves a little brother some day.we are still waiting on the results of her blood work that was sent of a few weeks back. you can read about her conditon HERE.

Ellie playing in the floor


And while we are speaking of mr. Gus. he is sick, his doctor thinks he has whooping cough on top of already having croup and bronchitis so we are waiting on his test results but he is allergic to the whooping cough vaccine the first time he got it he ended up in the e.r with a sever allergic reaction.SO if the test comes back positive who knows what is next.

here is a pic of MR . Handsome


so when we get the test results back from miss ellie and mr gus i will post them .. hope all is well with ya'll.

making your home sing monday

Making your home sing Mondays

Well things are getting done around the house but my heart is NOT singing.. IVe been struggling all week with some pretty heavy stuff. The tile laying, shower installing and new vanity for the bathroom is on hold, We also decided to move the extra stuff from the girls room that we were using for storage in to my sewing room now the storage room and to NOT rip up the carpet and paint the walls just yet but to go ahead and move the girls in to it the way it is. SO this weekend I reorganized my sewing room to make room for our extra stuff, we are goin to move the hubby's dresser out of the girls room in to our room and put up the crib FINALLY .. she is almost seven months old and move miah's toddler bed and her toys in to the room and then rearrange gus's room. so there is significant progress on the house.. but my heart is broken.. We took our six month old for her six month check up and her head was measuring a little on the small side so the doctor wanted a MRI done. we got the results back and she has been diagnosed with Microcephaly. you can Google it if you want more info . Basically her brain is smaller than it is supposed to be and it can cause SIGNIFICANT DELAYS. SO FAR.. she is hitting her milestones but it is a hurry up and wait game and I AM NOT a patient person..so hope you all are having a HAPPY MONDAY and read here for more mondays

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses: This is for my father in law and his HARLOT!!!
1 Corinthians 6:12-20. 
 12"Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13"Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 15Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."[b] 17But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.  18Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
