Today.

It's been a day. This morning I didn't get out of bed until ten o'clock. And I woke up to a puddle of drool (my own). That's gross and private but I don't care.
I've been hurting more than usual for the last couple of days. I've been trying to do too much and I've ended up paying for it. By the end of the day, around 6 p.m. my brace is back on till the next morning and I have an annoying nerve thats out of whack by my temple that makes me feel like I have a very large bug crawling around right there in my hair. By then I'm pretty much feeling crazy and probably acting it as well.
I wish I was more like Josh. He's patient. He has a really good attitude. He never complains.  He goes on with life like nothings really happened. In fact I think he may be proud to wear his brace in a I'm-a-tough-kid kind of way. He isn't afraid to need help or to ask for help (I'm learning...).
I need to be more like him!
Today Josh and I went to see a movie together. Like a date. Except as we were leaving we saw and talked to the girl he had a crush on all last year. He got to show off his brace and act super cool. However as we were leaving, he did still hold my hand so at least I still have that...

That's so great you guys got to spend that time together. Sound like Josh is doing amazing. There are so many lessons we can learn from our children. I hope you're feeling better!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
