Well I think I am almost feeling 100% today.  YIPEEEEE!!!  I am wondering if I didn't have a touch of the flu or something.  I don't ever throw up.....but I had all the other symptoms.  Which makes it easy for me to think, maybe I am imagining being sick here...LOL.  Noah has a runny nose, but other than that the rest of the family is doing just fine.  We have some meds for his runny nose that is working though.  I try to catch a cold at the runny nose stage, so it doesn't start draining down the throat and cause sore throat and coughing.  Especially since he is so little and young (21 months) and can't take the cough meds! 

I want to thank all the people who read my post about the inlaws and either sent me a comment on my blog telling me they would be praying, or sent me a private message telling me their story and keeping me in their prayers in private!  I am feeling completely uplifted and covered in prayer about this situation.  One person told me to come bearing gifts, which I thought was a great idea.  She loves candles and I always have ton of those around here, so I will give her one upon entering.  Another told me to forgive and move on, because her inlaws are gone and even though she had hard times with them years ago, now that they are gone, she misses them and wished she had learned more and listened more to the MIL!   With both of my parents gone (in heaven) these are the only parents we have now, and the only grandparents for Noah!   I need to set aside my hard feelings and try to make this work for Matthew and Noah's sakes at least.   I have in the past been trying my hardest to patch things up until I just got fed up! LOL  Like I told someone who messaged me privately, I may have to fake my feelings and just go along with it, until I feel the feelings officially.  Does that make sense to anyone?????

Keep me in your prayers.  Matthew was kind enough (and certainly didn't need to do this) to wait until today to call her and tell her of our plans to visit.  He first brought up the subject several days ago and I told him my concerns (the safety of Noah in the house.....FILTHY!)  and such, but he thinks perhaps things have changed.  As I said, Matthew certainly didn't need to wait upon me, because I told him I wasn't on board 100% because I had my regrets about how it might go, but I would walk in with a smile if that was what he wanted.  A friend recently told me she would stand up to her husband and not go, but I feel I need to be submissive to my husband on all things, including this!  So I prayed about it, receiving lots of advice and prayers here and I think I am ready.  He is calling his mother today or tonight and we will see what happens.  The best thing is, I am a little anxious wondering what will happen, but feel much more peace about it than before and I will chaulk that up to the wonderful friends that have prayed for me here.

Keep those prayers coming and I will update after the visit!!

God's Blessings,
