Down But Not Out

6 Years, 19 Weeks.


This was a most horrible week.

I caught the bug Braelyn had last week and it hit me hard Saturday night.  I mean HARD.  Like, with body aches and feverish sweats, but with uncontrollable shivering it was so cold.  A dose of NyQuil helped ease the night but I fought the tiredness, body aches, and sore throat/coughing throughout the week.  I finally convinced myself that I needed more help than our essential oils and over the counter meds and made an appointment with my doctor, who immediately prescribed me 4 different medicines for infection, allergies, cough, and sinus relief.  No co-pay for the visit and only $12 total for the meds.

Awesome.

So now, I'm on the mend.  And just in time too.

Here was our short week:

Had the Cochrans and Johnsons over for potluck lunch Sabbath after church.
William and Kelli checking their dishes to make sure they're ready.

We hadn't had them over in a long while so it was nice to catch up.

The kids filled their table.

And the adults were able to enjoy uninterrupted conversation!

Braelyn and Mommy made pumpkin soup Saturday night.

Working on organizing their Legos into different colors Sunday morning.

Utilizing the Dewey Decimal System to organize the home library books.  

Got a haircut on Tuesday, um...

Wednesday on my way to the doctor, swung by Walmart because the car had a hard time starting up at home.  Sure enough, it died in the parking lot and wouldn't even turn, so a new battery it was!  Fortunate to have made it there and even parked right next to the auto center just in case!  They removed the old and installed the new for me too!

Just monkeying around after school.

Darth Vader goes Western.

Mommy helping the twins with some math review.

Visiting with a new pig at the farm.

Randoms:

Saw a group of bikers at church on Sabbath.  Bikers For Jesus!

What happens when you overfill the Vitamix and not put the lid tight enough!

She could've just told me she wanted the blinds cleaned...

Seriously Floriday, I'm done with this ridiculous nonsense.

Angry storm clouds with eerie fingers.

DEA drug bust in our neighborhood this week,  nice!

Quote:

• Going over the twins' memory verse on our way home one day;  it was John 3:16.  I asked them if they knew what that memory verse was about, and so I started to talk to them about how God loved us so much that He had to send His Son to die for us, and that is why we celebrate Easter.   Then Kohlden inquired, "So then, why a bunny?"

          Exactly!  What's the point of the bunny??

Reading and retaining a lot of information!

Have a great weekend!!
