Meaningless rantings of a cabin fevered Mom.

Well, for my birthday my hubby bought me the boxed set of "Gilmore Girls Season #1" I LOVE this show! I feel all witty and smart and sappy after watching it. I also miss my sis when i watch it :P BUT! I now have a new ring tone under her name :) heeheheheeee So, if you haven't seen it, thank the gnomes for syndication and find it, and get hooked, it's worth it! :)

Hold Me Jesus Rich Mullins First Kings 19:3-13, Matthew 11:25-30 Well, sometimes my life just don't make sense at all When the mountains look so big And my faith just seems so small So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf You have been King of my glory Won't You be my Prince of Peace And I wake up in the night and feel the dark It's so hot inside my soul I swear there must be blisters on my heart So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf You have been King of my glory Won't You be my Prince of Peace Surrender don't come natural to me I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want Than to take what You give that I need And I've beat my head against so many walls Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn And Your grace rings out so deep It makes my resistance seem so thin I'm singing hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf You have b...

Ahh spring, well, in Vermont it's two feet of fresh snow, LOL BUT! We still get jelly beans! The only holiday I really get crazy over candy is Easter. I LOVE jelly beans, like can't get enough. Jelly bellies of course are the best, but those are slow, mix and match things, i love the Price Chopper ones, sooo yummy :)  Anywho, i was on the phone for a while this morning, and when i get back to the living room, my daughter looks very guilty. then i see the bag, the one that was nearly full, now nearly empty! Good lord woman! She IS her mommy all over again, bummer dude! :) 

Just a note ...... the sailor has just been moved from "friend's blogs" to "My tribe of origin" In case anyone cares ;)

Ahhhhh! She lives! So it ain't so!! :) Yes, i am posting a current newsy post. I have been pretty absent as of late. well, let's see, after the whole whirlwind that was Amy and Rick, they settled into a pseudo-honeymoon, living in an apartment my brother rents out. Meanwhile, they packed up Amy's things from Mom and Dad's and bought silly things, like printers and potatoes, because they had so much room in the little car to transport all the silly things to Virginia. :D They eventually left us, we almost kept them here, with the "Driveway of Doom" aka, my parents driveway. You must have a Vermont Winter worthy car to navigate the thing from December to April, otherwise, it'll be somewhat hazardous! :) Back in November, i think? It was after Thanksgiving, My Nana, who lives with Mom and Dad, was diagnosed with Cancer. It was found in her lymph nodes, and it was determined to be terminal from the get go. She went downhill pretty fast, and as they watched, th...

so, it's been icing and raining and miserable all day long, and night has fallen, in more ways than one, and as i looked up from my cleaning ( a Varnadore thing we have decided) i saw snow. Big fluffy white flakes of snow. Falling lightly to the ground, covering the ugly slush and ice and making the cold outdoors look very comfortable. God is so good, He sends us just what we need, right when we need it, Like a warm fuzzy blanket :)

One of my personal favorites, and it came to me today, this is now her song too. by (Jars of Clay) "Love Song For A Savior" In open fields of wild flowers, she breathes the air and flies away She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses in no simple language Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him Someday He'll call her and she will come running and fall in His arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray, "I want to fall in love with You"

You MUST check out this blog! This is just the coolest thing, i think it waill be amazing to catch up on. Read along with me!! WW1: Experiences of an English Soldier

OI! Well, i thinks it's safe to say we are on the mend here. This morning my son woke early, jumped out of bed, turned on the light cranked the radio and proceeded to play cars LOUDLY. :P He was ravenous for breakfast, polishing off four toasted slices of Mommy's home made bread, and wanted more. He has been bossing his sister into the ground. Sammy has dragged herself out of bed, waddled into the kitchen and grumpily waited for toast and milk. Only afterwards was she happy and able to converse normally. (boy i wonder where THAT came from?) She went potty like a big girl, had a meltdown over what to wear. (YES, not 3 yet, and having meltdowns over our clothes!) scheeeech So, yeah, pretty normal i think, now i just need to catch up on sleep :P Oh, two quotes for the day...also proving the "back to normal" state of my house. after doing sam's hair and saying, "man your hair is stubborn today." she replies, "No mommy! It's just crazy hair!" G...

Sick sick sick and SICKER!  if you want the details, it's like this see. January, a blur of activity, ending in a wedding. My aunt and uncle PC were here, staying with us, then they went to northern NH to visit my cousin and Brood. In that week, SAmmy was coughing, and coughing and coughing, then developed a high fever. So for a week or so i was not sleeping well, listening to the baby cough, then with the fever, i did NOT sleep with the fever, getting up to check and medicate all hours. Then the Aunt and uncle and cousin returned on Sunday for the night then they would head down towards home in the morning. Well, I slept in the living room, so i could watch sammy, and around 1am her fever broke, YAY! shortlived :P around 3am, it was obvious that Uncle CP had been struck down by "the BUG" An evil 24 hr bug that leaves it's victim listless, on the bathroom floor wishing for death. *lol* You get the idea :)  So they stayed an extra day while he recovered, we sprayed the...
