Ringing in the New Year...

Well I have spent this past week trying to get ready for the New Year. I worked to get the kitchen clean and keep it that way for the whole week. Im in the process now of finishing the great room. I broke it down into sections and cleaned it a little at a time. I think that worked best for me. As I get it clean we work out a maintaince plan for keeping it that way. One week down!
Im also happy to say that I have kept up with my Bible reading all week! YAY! Im working through Eziekal right now. Im also reading Created to Be His Helpmeet again. That book does so much for me. I have been so much happier this week.
I confess I allowed the stress of the season to grab me last week and it was a downward spiral. I lost all of my joy and thankfullness and becames mean and whiny. It was not pretty. But we made it through and I asked forgivness from my family and from the Lord. Growing experience for me.
Today hubby and I worked on getting our garage cleaned up. We made a pathway and I bagged up a ton more stuff for freecycle.
Well thats all I have time for for now. Dinner is ready. We are eating late because I lost track of time in the garage.

Be Blessed!

Just saying "Hi"

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. We did. Although Im a little worried my dining room will never see the light of day. Right now thats where all the stuff is gathered. Im hoping to order another toy organizer this week sometime. Also we need to make room for new cars and cooking stuff. *Sigh*
If I dont post again until New Years... Happy New Year!

Update

Ok so those who read my last post probably thought I was a raving lunatic! I was soooo angry/worried/upset...whatever! Hubby had left to go on a business trip. He told me he would be there around 11pm and he left the website up for where he was staying. There was no phone number so I had to search and search. I found the one for where I thought he was staying and called around 11:30pm. The nice lady at the desk told me there was no one checked in under that name. I thought well let me call the other Days Inn down there and see if he got mixed up or if I had the wrong number. This lady answers the phone and asks to direct my call. Well I ask for my husband by first and last name which is all I usually have to do, then she says very sarcastically, "well who is that???" I said, "My husband, he might be a guest at your hotel." She said cooly, "might be?" I said, "Yes ma'am he is not at the other hotel yet so I thought I would check here." Then she proceeds to tell me he must now want to talk to me. He must be ducking me and if he was at her hotel she would not feel comfortable putting me through or even TELLING me if he was there. I needed to learn a thing or two....yada, yada, yada. Now here I am this wife worried becuase I could forsee car accident, car jacking...come on you know when our husbands head on these business trips we come up with all sorts of neat stuff! And she is just yelling at me. I hung up with her after telling her she knows nothing about my husband! Then I emailed the manager. Sure nothing will ever come of it. Thankfully, hubby called the next morning to tell me he was late getting in.
Anyways there are your ramblings of a mad woman for tonight!

RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!

This place has made me so ANGRY! Im probably over reacting, but I was mad to begin with so this really just ticked me off. Anyways, I cant tell you all about it until this weekend. BUT if you are ever in Titusville, Florida you probably dont want to stay here!

Say it aint so....

All I can say to this...

"God have mercy on us all!"

If you would like to know why this scares me, besides the obvious do we really want a woman in the Presidental seat, click on this link!

Or just google the United Nations Rights of a Child Act and be prepared to pray, because it will SCARE you to pieces. They want our children.
Hilary Clinton is 100% in favor of this apostasy and God help us everyone if that woman gets in office.


I try super duper hard NOT to get involved in political discussion on my blog. Every now then I will speak out and you will know where I fall in the vast political spectrum... this is one of those times.

Healthy Eating Update

The other day I went to the local health food grocery store. I picked up four pounds of brown rice, because it was on sale, a jar of cocounut oil, a bottle of olive oil, a box of sea salt, a bag of whole wheat pastry flour, a jar of local honey and a box of stevia. At Walmart yesterday I bought two boxes of whole wheat spaghetti, two boxes of whole wheat lasagna noodles, and two boxes of whole wheat rotini noodles. I picked up a few bags of beans and two more boxes of brown rice. I also picked up some Florida Cane Juice sugar crystals. We cant afford organice meat right now, but I figure every change counts. I picked up a some ground beef and three bags of chicken breasts, I also picked up about 5 pounds of turkey sausage and 5 pounds of ground turkey. There was other stuff too, but this was the bulk of my purchase.
Last night we had brown rice, yellow squash, and zuchinni. I cooked the squash and zuchinni in some olive oil and garlic. I mixed it all together and put some mozzerella cheese on top of each bowl. The kids were not impressed because they dont like squash and zuchinni, but I loved it! Hubby thought it was ok, but he likes meat so when I serve dishes like this he eats them, but I darn skippy sure better have some meat for the next meal! :) Actually he is not that bad because he knows he needs a meatless dish every now and then, just not too often!
Tonight the kids and I will be having spaghetti, what they dont know is Im going to sneak some zuchinni into the sauce I also plan on shredding some carrots and putting them in the sauce as well. Hubby has a dinner meeting tonight so he wont be home. Too bad because I plan on putting meat in the spaghetti sauce! LOL.
Im loving our whole foods co-op. I got about 12 pounds of squash and zuchinni from them right before Thanksgiving and we are just now finishing it up. We have another order coming in next week. We also just finished up the raw milk. We did decide that while hubby and I are drinking the raw milk we will switch the kids to organic milk. It just seems the right thing to do the more we read about milk. I noticed a little girl the other day almost the same age as my oldest daughter and she was developing RAPIDLY. Now, I know some of this is just the way she is made, but come on where do we think the growth hormones they inject in cows go???? I will just feel better about it.
Ok I need to go our break is up and I have to get busy with some schooling we have missed this week.

Ridiculous

My children have not had their names changed on their social security cards. We finally got corrected birth certificates and hubby decided since he was home today he would head down to the office and get names changed. It should not be this hard. We have an adoption decree and birth certificates. Of course now they need another form of identification that has the full name and birthday of the child. What other form of identification do they think we have? This is ridiculous!
