ugh!

I thought I was feeling better until around 9pm! Now it is 11:15pm and I am up, feeling almost as punk as I did yesterday! Not quite as bad, but lousy enough! I pray that if it is just a virus, tomorrow will show much improvement! I have to go to the walk in clinic for a check up as it stands, so I am trying to just deal with it. But in truth I have had enough and I am tired! I want to be in bed sleeping, not spending another night on the couch, dozing when I'm able! The only good thing is, the pain in my stomach is not as bad as it was yesterday!  But who enjoys being queasy...? OK, I believe I will end my complaining and whining here and go drinks some water and maybe consider, yet another Tums!

A July Prayer Request

As I mentioned in my last posting, things are going well! However, my health has been an ongoing issue. I have been sick far more than I ever have!I have been to the emergancy room and differant clinics. I have struggled with neck, shoulder and skull pain as well some pretty difficult stomach issues. I have  had much testing. We are begining to think our little house may be causing some of these issues! Please, keep this in your prayers! I pray you are all well!

A July Posting !

It is July 10th. It has been weeks since I last posted something here. Things have been incredibly busy! Mostly good! We have been working on the house, Shawn has been refinishing more furniture for other folks and there had been other odd and end odd jobs. Add that to all the usual running the house and family stuff and you can see things have been busy! Over all things have been quite good. I have had some trouble with neck and back pain. I went to the emergency room and it looks like I either pinched a nerve or have a bulging disc. I have to follow up with a MRI. The heat and all the work Shawn has been doing caused him to get a little sick the other day. We both realize that sometimes we have to just stop and have some down time! Yesterday he worked on a rocking chair and I refinished a kitchen cabinet and installed drivers and a printer for neighbor. But around dinner we stopped, Kelly and I played Rummy, we all played in the rain with the dog and then we watched a great  Christian comedian. Things are going well here. God provides and I can not really find much to complain about. Even with the constant pain, I am managing. Kelly received a call from the Kentucky Job Corp office and she has to call and speak to the guidance counselor on Monday. We are hoping that they will be giving her her departure date. She is excited and anxious! Kate Lynn has signed all up for the Job Corp in Lorring, she too is waiting to receive her departure date. So as you can see things really are good! God has a plan for us here, I truly believe that.It truly feels like home! There will always be things that I will misss about living in New England, but that is what visiting is for!  I apologize for not posting sooner, I will try to keep up with things better! I pray that you are all doing well!

Posting as Able

I will post as I am able! I hope that everyone had a good weekend! Exspecially all the dads! It was a good weekend here! We have plenty of projects to keep us busy and there is always a walk to be had! Shawn had a good day yesterday, it was a very relaxed day. We are waiting to hear from Job Corp this week, at least our understanding is that Kelly should be hearing this week when she will be leaving. I am very excited to see both girls get into school! Shawn and I recieved great news this past week...our older neice and her husband had their new baby, well my neice did most of the work! Little baby Eva Rose was born on june 15th. We could not be more happy for Jackie and Shaun! This morning we are enjoying some coffee before we get serious about working on the dining room! I hope you alll have a great Monday!

Sorry for the 3 Day Delay!

We have had very poor Internet service the past couple of days. I will let you know that we had a couple very laid back days. Besides a whole lot of sitting around and trying to stay cool, not much else has been going on! Today was a bit better! Shawn finally received the check for refinishing our landlord's dressers. Because he was given a check we had to set out to find a way to cash it, with out having a car. We also had some heavy thunder storms! With no ride available, Shawn and I walked to the nearest check cashing place and had it cashed, all the while we dripped all over their floors! We went home and put on dry clothes, only to head back out with Kelly, to Walmart. We had no choice to go, the pets all needed food! Tomorrow the plan is to tackle the dining room.We may have company over on Sunday and would like the house to be as presentable as possible. Shawn finally has no other work lined up, so now some of our house projects can be completed. So much of the supplies and paints were bought back when we received our taxes, there just has been no time to anything. Not really complaining though! The monies Shawn makes from the odd jobs is always a help and most appreciated! So as you can see things are pretty much same old, same old! I hope all of you have a great weekend! And all you dad have a super Father's Day!

Company

We have had people over off and on all day, just to visit or to chat with Shawn about what ever project he is working on. The dressers are complete, the second coat of all of Kelly's bedroom trim is done and the coffee table has a new clear coat! A busy day! I spoke with Kate Lynn and she is all enrolled in Job Corp in New England. She still has the 2cnd interview and then it looks like she will be heading off to Limestone, Maine. She should be there around the same time Kelly is off to Kentucky. I am so very proud of my girls! Tonight Shawn, Kelly and I are sitting on the porch, listening to the crickets! (oh yeah, there is Izzy too!) A good day! God is good too us! I hope you all have a good night!

Sorry for the Delay

I have not been online for a couple days here. The Internet has been pretty lousy and I have also been sick. I am feeling much better today, after a good night sleep. Shawn and I have been for a walk this morning. We are all hanging out for a bit enjoying the AC. In a little while Shawn will be doing some finishing sanding on our landlord's  dressers and putting a 3rd coat of clear coat on them. Our landlord came by and looked at the dressers and really seemed to love them a whole lot. He just wanted them to be a bit smoother, easy enough! We are waiting for his handyman to drop off  another can of clear coat and paintbrush. He will be also sending over a check for the work we have one. We are curious to see what he thinks the work was worth. That is our big plans for the day!
