• An Update, of sorts

  • First of all, a prayer request:  I woke up with a jaw that doesn't work.  I can barely open my mouth and am in moderate pain.   I have had previous problems with this, but not of this magnitude.  I called my dentist this morning and they fit me in.  I am now on a muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatory, and we just wait to see what happens. 
  • I am feeling very blog uninspired right now.  I have been posting only about once a week because I don't want to bore you with the every day goings on of my life, but I really don't have anything else inspiring to say.
  • Having said that, we're very busy around the house right now.  We are busily painting our enclosed porch room.  We don't think it has been painted in about 20 years or so.  It is very labor-intensive because we are painting over natural wood with slats in it (I'm not quite sure how to describe it.)  Anyway, it has been a lot of hand-painting, and it has been taking a lot of time.  We have to get the painting finished by tonight because the rest of our new doors for that room will be installed tomorrow.  Also, I had to take down all of our curtains and blinds today because our new windows (thank you federal government for that rebate you gave us a few months ago.) will also be installed tomorrow.  The windows are arriving as I type this.
  • Oh, and my parents arrive on Thursday, so I need to try to get my house somewhat back in order by then.  I know they won't care how messy my house is, but I will.
  • My parents are coming because Saturday is my baby's second birthday!  I can't believe she's going to be two!  I am having some problems with this.  She's not a baby anymore!  It's gone by way too fast.
  • I figured out how to make that pony cake I was asking for advice on.  I think it's going to be really cute.
  • Ainsley is going on her first field trip tomorrow.  They're going to an apple orchard.  I think she's more excited about getting to ride a bus for the first time, though.
  • On Wednesday, I'm going to read some books to Ainsley's class.  That should be fun.
  • Yesterday was the parade for our town's 375th birthday.  We took the girls down the street to it.  It was a nice, small-town parade.  (I did not take even one picture.)
  • Remember I asked prayer for Josh's job situation and possible moving to another location within his company?   Well, we prayed and prayed, and we think God wants him to stay right where he's at.  We're not going to worry about possible layoffs because we can't control it.  God has promised to supply our needs and we know He will.
  • Oh, and we bought tile for that back porch room I was talking about.  I can't wait to rip up that nasty carpet that's back there.  Once the tile is down, there will be no room in my house that is carpeted.
  • Lorelei is still doing well going potty.  She has the occasional accident (a couple times a week), but for the most part, potty is going where potty is supposed to go.
  • We have an associate pastor coming to candidate at our church this weekend.  He would be an excellent music pastor.  We need that!
  • I think that has you all caught up on us.  I am going to try to come up with something to keep my blog a little more interesting...  I'll let you know.
