Spending My Day

Doing as little as I can get away with today, as I now have a full blown 1st head cold of the season, and it was so graciously shared by Abby. And where did it come from? you guessed it, her 11 yr old brother Adam, who has yet to have a single symptom, not even a runny nose, He just brought the germs home to share with me and sister :) We did however get the chickens out, fed and watered and part of the bathroom back in order, but I have decided that bending over would surely make my head explode, if I had to do it for much longer, so the children are fighting happily amongst themselves over which disney movie to watch, as I sit here, wishing I were able to crawl back in bed for a while. Now back to the movie situation...lol I have yet to meet an 11 yr old boy that wants to watch Cinderella repeatedly...but Abby who has crowned herself "Beautiful Princess" seems to have escaped the lesson on sharing and being nice about it, and well Adam caught the lesson, but it tends to escape his memory at times...So off to the fight we go...and it soon leads to the tears and cries of "MOMMA!!!!!!"....No actual phsyical fighting is going on, but it always seems to be on the realm of possibility for the "Beautiful Princess", she is my bruiser with the tiara and snowwhite dress on, where Adam on the other hand is my Great Prince of PeaceMaking...LOL the two could not be more different from each other and it's a very interesting combo, how they came out so different I will never know, but it happens... The weather here has been exceptional and for it to Not be hot in Oklahoma even during September is rather odd...it is strange to go out on the porch before it is full on evening and have a nice Cool breeze blowing, very strange in deed...It has been in the lower 80's and we have had many cloudy days, now don't get me wrong, I am MORE THAN HAPPY to be receiving such a beautiful gift as cool weather this time of year, but I can't help but start to get giddy about the upcoming fall..Could it be that I might actually get to experience my first fall weather? and not go from burning up hot to just down right gotta get a jacket on cold? We will see. At this rate the leaves might actually change and I will have enough time to get out and get some photographs before they all come tumbling down. Danny (my man) seems to really be in love with his new job, and well I can't really blame him...We are really happy here and have had a great response to the things we would like to get to work on...At our ladies bible class on sunday afternoons, we have many things planned and in the works and I am rather excited about it myself. The new congregation where we are now is a good sized church of Christ for this area, we are averaging (sp) about 90 every sunday morning. We have so much hope for everything now it seems. To give you a little bit of back info about the new congregation, Dans' dad was the preacher here for almost 24 years, we really really struggled with whether or not to even apply for the job after Dannys dad and mom both passed away in feb. it was a devistating blow to us both and actually thought that moving off was the right thing to do, since there was no one here for us to care for now...But things have a way of working out and it did...we sent in his resume and it took a while but they hired him. We had so many worries about being compared to his dad and mom, and that is just the nature of the beast...If your congregation has a Great Preacher, then no matter who comes along, you will be stood up there side by side with them and measured...It isn't as blatently obvious as we feared and everyone has been really great about things...We love everyone here, but we do miss our last little bunch of breatheren...We had for the last 10 years preached for a small congregation of about 40 on any given sunday..and they became so important and part of our lives after 10 years...I can't help but miss them...I just hope they know they are loved and missed in this house... Well I guess I will go until another day, seems the children are getting along for a minute so I think we will read a book together or colorOh and I told ya to give me some time and I would be talkin ya'lls ears off...LOL :)
