• Good morning,  I snuck down without the kids for mommy time before the get ready for church rush.  I've been up since 3:45 with Kaylin.  She nursed, and squirmed, nursed and squirmed.  But would she get sleepy oh no that would be too much to ask for.    And now she's sleepy *sigh*  So she's in her crib and I'm up for the morning.

  
  

  The major praise is a year ago I would have panicked about no sleep.  Even 6 months ago.  But now my body seems to be able to deal with it a better.  I think this is a extra benefit of the thyroid medication.  I mean I still get tired, but just not panicky about it KWIM?

  
  

  I'm slogging through Jeremiah.  And you've probably been wondering where my Scripture is at the beginning of each blog.  I haven't been able to find a single thing positive.  I don't understand this book.  The Israelites were warned and warned about their evilness and all they did was have the messenger whipped.  And they were evil.  I don't want to depress you how evil...just trust me.  Today if a nation was caught doing what they were doing they'd be ostracized by everybody in the known world.  There would be embargo's put on them by every nation.  And quite possibly every nation would just plain destroy them.

  
  

  And yet they thought their evilness was okay.  *puzzled*  I can't imagine how Jeremiah lived through that time.  Especially when his only message was gloom and doom.  He even said please curse the day I was born.  The message depressed him.  But he continued to serve.   I don't understand.  I'm not sure I have that strength.  I guess God hasn't asked me to have that kind of strength yet.

  
  

  I am playing piano this morning instead of keyboard.  So have more work to do.  We have sunshine outside *gasp* what's that??  I hope it lasts....after all fall is right around the corner, and we've had hardly any.

  
  

  My kids are stirring....that was the worlds shortest sleepy, guess I better go.  Enjoy your family!
