Just wanting to share with you all a story that has truly touched me over the past month. http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com/ (click on the link to the right to go to the beginning and read all the way through with a box of tissues close by). Maggie – it may be best for you to wait til you’re fully recovered…it will take at least an hour if you read it all in one sitting…

OK, OK…so I’ve been a bit uninvolved on here lately! I’m so sorry!!

so, this week, I’ve read The Atonement Child (Francine Rivers), worked with 2 sick kids and their sick mom, had our small group over for Bible study, and started preparing for an Art Party tomorrow evening. It’s been a BUSY week…and it’s only halfway through!!!

EXHAUSTED after a long day at work. Hubby is already in bed, and will get up at least an hour before me in the morning…
Excited about church tomorrow – we are studying the miracles of Jesus during the sermon series right now. AMAZING!!!

Working from home today due to a nasty migraine last night that left me feeling exhausted and sickly this morning. Thankfully, feeling MUCH better now – still a little sleepy, but the headache is gone and I’m feeling quite productive this afternoon!

I have to admit…I’m feeling a little like a giddy school-girl again just knowing that New Kids on the Block is coming back!!!
Yes…a little dorky of me…but they’re just so darned loveable (and laughable if I go back and watch some of their old music videos!!)

my small group just left, and dishes are done. i’m sitting on the couch, listening to the dishwasher, and the silence in the room. my tummy has not been happy with me today…but i’m used to it by now – the meds do that sometimes! haha – y’all probably think i’m turning into a druggie – seems i post about meds, being sick, etc. a LOT lately!!

just posted my quote of the day on Maggie’s Thursday Thoughts post…
also just finished watching The Kingdom – WOW…my heart is still racing!! It was a great movie, but a lot of action, a lot of suspense, a lot of violence…

toothpaste – i know, it’s a crazy thing to say I’m thankful for toothpaste…but then I think about how nasty my mouth feels when i wake up in the morning, and toothpaste is a wonderful thing!!

went to the doctor today – i don’t have the flu!!! WOO HOO!! i have a “rhinovirus” – basically a cold. how depressing that i went to the dr for a cold!! oh well…he’s given me some meds to help control the symptoms, and hopefully prevent it from turning into a sinus infection or bronchitis. he also said that this usually lasts 5-7 days…and i’ve been sick since friday, so i should be getting better SOON!!!
