Well it's been a far from normal week around here.
1. Thursday we got some good news. We received a benefactor to help out with tuition. It's a bigger gesture than I can say here. More important to me than any kind of money is the relief that I won't fail. God won't let me fail completely. And even... mooore important than that was to really know that God hasn't forgotten us, we're not in this adventure alone. I was on cloud 9 all day Friday and Saturday. I felt like a teenager after a first kiss, or after a good date. I felt wonderful.
2. Sunday I was all in a stir again. The president of the seminary came to church to deliver a message and tour the Midwest for other sem students. I started at his surprise entrance being a little star struck, though no need to be. But after his powerful message I had a huge epiphany! I don't need to be star struck by some man who manages a school. Jesus is King! I should be star struck by him all the time. How much greater is Jesus. Wow!
3. then today was a downer. On Friday the boss stayed late at work. After I was all done with my work I opened my e mail and web page to do a little browsing. But my boss walked up behind me and she was not amused!!! Though out of things to do, I shouldn't have wasted company time. Leading us to day. She came down hard threatening no one could use internet anytime but lunch. And we can't leave the building or our desk a minute before 7pm. It was a real mess and I feel terrible. I apologized to the boss, but it seems to have not made any difference.
Counting the weeks it appears I still have around 28 weeks there. I did find out though, my temp agency at least doesn't mind me putting my name in for another job. It'd be nice to have a different job with better hours or better pay.
Well that brings me to the present. Anora running a fever watching Harry Potter and snoozing on Jeremy. No apparent reason for the fever, but had to stay home from school because of it, and it spiked again this afternoon, so no school again tomorrow.

Well halloween is nearly here! Anora will be trick or treating as a "friend of Tinker Bell" She's excited!
While i look like a halloween mask. Something has happened to my nose. It's either some new achne I've never had before or an infection under my skin. It has lasted a little over a week now. The swelling has gone down but it still looks like I've been in a car accident.

Jeremy got his mid term grades and has all a's. No surprise, but it makes life a little easier to get up and go to work in the morning.

My birthday was Saturday and we went out for dinner to a buffet and then a play at Jeremy's college. The best part was that I got to sew for several hours in the morning. I'm working on a quilt for a good friend. I'm cheating a little though cause, most of hard work has already been done by aunt, a lot is her left overs.

Blessings, please pray for the safety for all the farmers!

sickness sinking in...

Well, Anora is officially sick! We kept her home Sunday to rest and be on decongestants. She seemed ok this am so we sent her to school, but alas school called 11:30 to come and get her. So I caught Jeremy between classes, and he rushed home. He was able to pick her up and gog her directly to the Dr. Dr. figures she has the flu and a definite ear infection. So no more school tomorrow either. I'll stay home in the am to let Jeremy give a speech in Speech class and then I'll get off to work.
Part way through the day I started feeling pretty rotten myself, but some sugar and fresh air helped a lot.

I have been pretty flippant about the flu s setting in, but please do pray for all the little kids who are sick, including Anora.
Blessings

What an aweful week

So I'm trying to get back into the habit of updating my blog again. Thank you all for continuing to check while I neglected the page.

This weekend was good, we got a lot of chores done, and had a really nice Saturday with family at my aunt & uncle's cabin.

Then Sunday was spent with housework and homework.

But come Monday things slipped out of control.
While getting more time cards from my temp agency, the starter went bad, and left me there. The people at the agency were really good though. First, a fella came to help me try to jump the truck, no luck since it wasn't the battery. Then the gal that hired me, drove me to work. Jeremy came to the rescue after school to fix and replace the starter in the parking lot, What a guy, not everyone would do that. While our friend Lauren took Anora after school, letting Jeremy fix the truck. Wow, it's great to have help on an awful day. Then to top off the day, my bill for Life insurance arrived, ohh, forgot those were coming. I was hoping my job would be paying enough extra to take care of that by now, but no. Jeremy's should arrive soon too.

But then Tuesday morning Anora woke up saying she was sick. Though she didn't have a fever she did look and sound bad, so we tag teamed the day. Jeremy went to school for 2/3 classes and a test and I got most of my day in at work.

So finally on Wed I had a pretty good day and no major tragedies. What a relief.

Now, today is Thursday and my closet broke. It's a cheap fix, but still a kick to the shins.

Hope your week goes better than mine.

Please pray for my little friend Hunter trying to fight an infection and on prednisone. Pray for his Mommy too.
