• Good morning!  I just looked at my subscription list and found a dear internet friend has just started a xanga site. http://www.xanga.com/home.asp?user=Daisybliss  She's been reading mine since it started--she must have finally gotten hooked.  I encourage everybody to read her.  She's lots fun--and very sweet.  (The rest you can learn from her)

  
  

  Midge I think you in particular would enjoy her for you are from neighbouring countries.    The rest I'll let her reveal about herself.  ENJOY!

  
  

  I feel better this morning.  I've been praying a lot about my attitude.  And was online a lot less.  The kids & I went over to my moms house after nap--and stayed there until Rob got home--he drives past her house on his way home from work so stopped in on his way home.  Rob had told me I could run away and when mom heard I was she invited herself.   We haven't done anything together without hers or my kids in a very very very long time.  It was so nice.

  
  

  We didn't do anything spectacular went shopping at Costco--got my bil's Christmas present there   And went shopping at Big-Lots a factory outlet kinda store.  Got one of Samuels presents there.   And then went out for a simple dinner at a 50's restaurant with good food at reasonable prices. 

  
  

  It was a very nice break.  While there though my mom doesn't completely understand my internet fascination I talked to her about recent events briefly.  She gave me the courage to stand strong.  And didn't even say much.    I love moms!

  
  

  She also just about knocked me over with a stick.  LOL  She has not been anti breastfeeding--but she has been very uninformed.  And we were talking about "James" reflux  and how the first thing I was planning on doing is taking him of his milk-based formula.  Because I "know" both his sister & brother have a milk allergy....so its a good place to start IMO.  Anyhow she knocked me over with a pin when she said--its too bad your trying to dry out for the newborn or you could nurse him.  (jaw dropping here)   

  
  

  I so wish I could--but it just seems like too much for the baby inside me...so we'll have to find something that DOES work for James.

  
  

  Today is church.  And the last couple weeks at church have been a bit rough as I've been kind of tired.  So I'm hoping that things go better this week. 

  
  

  Father God, I ask for your continued guidance, and peace.  I ask that you would allow me to trust you in all I do and say.  And to be aware of others needs when I'm around them--and not just focused on myself.  I thank you for the kids almost sleeping 'til normal time this morning.  I sure hope this means that their bodies are switching to daylight savings time!  And I thank you for the fun visit with mom yesterday.  I ask for Rob that you would give him the energy he needs at work today--and allow us to find some time to spend together today.  In your sons name, Amen
