Abundant Blessings Homestead

Whew!

It has been busy, busy, busy around here!

My good friend Misty came on Friday..her daughter spent the night here with my Natalie. She took Thomas home with her to spend the night there. Saturday morning came and we were planning to go pick up Thomas...when Misty said Thomas and her son wanted another sleepover...so it turned out that we took the girls to her home and they ALL spent the night there! What an incredible friend...to have all four of our children spend the night! She's such a blessing to me!!!

Toby and I had a nice, quiet, relaxing time alone. It was so peaceful...and refreshing to be alone with my Honey. Oh, I so dearly love my babies..but to be alone with their Daddy just makes my heart do jumping jacks!

We ate out on Saturday night, rented a movie and came home to relax. Sunday, we ate at the same restaurant for their buffet. It was tasty!!! Went to Misty's, visited a while and came home, children in tow. Everyone was pretty tired, so we didn't do a whole lot that evening.

I cleaned up outside...we've had some high winds lately, so the yard looked it...While I did that, the girls jumped on the trampoline. Thomas was outside on the swing, getting some Vitamin D (Daddy's idea!).

Today...we didn't have a whole lot planned. I was going to go show a friend of mine how to make mozzarella cheese..but Honey was off (his new schedule gives him a 3 day weekend one week and a 1 day weekend the next). Well, Honey had been looking at Craigslist for trucks and found one. The man called him this morning about it. We loaded up and went to look at it. I believe we will be getting it tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a busy day as well....headed to the bank to get the funds for the truck, then to my friend's for the cheese lesson. Then home for a quick bite to eat..then to town for a field trip I planned for our homeschool group to a printing place. Honey works till 3, so once we all get home, we'll eat supper and then head to get that truck.

Wednesday is only piano...and then home to rest!!!!

I've been having headaches and facial pain again. It's all around where I had my accident with Gentle last year. Honey gently reminds me that I'm probably over extending myself and tired...and that it's only been 7 months since I had a cow step on my face. When he looks at me, I can see the worry and concern in his eyes. It's more than a headache..it's a fuzzy kind of feeling. It's around my eye, where I had two small fractures, and down the side of my nose and cheek. It's a bit hard to describe what it feels like...it's just not comfortable at all....

We are busy...and probably too busy. This is something we'll need to change. The children asked if we could go to Wed night church since Daddy works 1-10pm that day. I told them we'd see how I was feeling that evening...if it's like it has been for the last week, I don't think so...that's about the time my pain seems to start....

I've been waiting for the dryer to be finished...today is my laundry day and we were gone for most of it. I have more laundry to do first thing in the morning, but wanted to get this last load folded before getting to la-la land....I just heard the buzzer, so I'll close and head that way....

thinking of you

Laurie,
It's so nice reading about your days. I hope your headaches get better very soon.
I have you in my daily prayers.
Love you,
