Ok it 11:45 pm as I am writing this email.  For some reason I just can't sit or lay still tonight. LOL  Hubby went to bed around 9pm complaining of being sleep deprived (stayed up too late for the last two evenings), and asked me what I planned on doing.  I told him there was NO way I could go to bed that early tonight.  I have too much on my mind.  Nothing special, and no I am not worried or contemplating anything.....just my mind working overtime again.

I guess when my mind does this, I am cotemplating all kinds of things.  Will we get Noah's bedroom done before his birthday, we really need to buy a freezer because we just bought a whole hog from a friend, when will I have time to make jelly, am I ever going to learn to crochet, i need to cut down on our grocery bill, don't forget to deposit Matthew's paycheck tomorrow, when is the youth weekend at church, why can't I just go to sleep, etc etc.  You get my drift right??

Before moving into this house, I used to have dreams of where all our furniture would fit. LOL Almost every evening I would close my eyes and think of where things were going to fit in the living room and bedroom especially and wonder if I should buy new rugs for the bathroom and kitchen.  By the time we moved into the house, I knew exactly where everything needed to be placed.  (Not that it stayed that way for long, because I changed my mind within a few months and the living room furn iture was moved. LOL)

Tonight I am thinking about finances,  and how we can save on groceries in the future and menu plans, getting Christmas projects done sooner this year, and how exactly I am going to decorate the cake for Noah's birthday (John Deere theme, does anyone have any ideas?), and what to get a friend for her birthday in June. 

Am I ever going to get the recipe scrapbook done for Megan's wedding, and should I just go ahead and make two of them??  (I know I am going to get it done, fall in love with it, and then want to keep it for myself. LOL)

I guess I need to go lay down and send off a prayer to our Loving Father, asking him for sweet slumber.  Dear Lord, you know all the things on my mind, and none of them are as important as you are, or the gift you gave for me!  None are as important as my salvation and my personal relationship with thee!  I love my family, and I love taking care of them.  Please help me do my job better, in less time, and help my mind not to get as cluttered as this house is, with things to do and thoughts of the future.  Dear Lord, I want you to take all my thoughts, burdens, etc. and take them away tonight. 

Isn't God good???? I am getting drowsey just writing that last paragraph!!!

Do any of you ever go through this???

Night ladies!!!!

God's Blessings,
