the thunder rolls...

First thing this morning, we had a little rumbling rain roll through and it made me think of that song by Garth Brooks, so I decided to look for the video, and stumlbed across this performance by a group at Harvard... how cool is this?! (Keep watching it... it gets better-- very cool!)



Sorry... guess I'm showing my music-geekness... I loved singing in choir... miss it.

Got my test results in the mail... a bunch of gobily-gook. I'll have to wait until my appt. on Tuesday, but as far as I can decipher it's a T-cell problem.

Back to the arguing kids now...

no news...

No results in the mail today...

So, here's a pic of Emeril dreaming of having thumbs and playing the Gamecube. ;)

it's done...

The party's over... Tyler is now five.



So hard for me to believe. He had a great party and has decided he feels lots older now that he is five-- LOL. He has been wearing his Darth Vader costume we gave him every waking moment since... and he and Thomas both are thrilled with the new TMNT game for Gamecube and the fact that he, too now has a Gameboy (so they can share games now). Birthdays are so much fun. I told them both yesterday that it's really special to be a mommy on birthdays because their birthdays and remembering the day they were born almost makes it feel like it's your own birthday.

The other thing that is done is Harry Potter. I finished it! Oh my goodness... I cried... I'm not spoiling the ending, but Rowling scares me-- how her mind works to fit all these tiny pieces together. How amazing! Enough said-- not giving anything away--LOL.

Today it's about getting housework done and planning for school... got a call from the rheumatologist's office yesterday that they are sending me my test results before my appt. next week and trying to keep my mind off of getting those...

Have a happy humpday,

yep, me too...



Yep, I'm reading it, too... just started chapter 16... a sad part of the book... but, it really is very well written thus far. We'll see how well it ends, but I think Rowling most likely keeps Harry alive... she'd like to keep selling books even though this one is the last I am sure. ;)

Not much to say yet today... maybe later... I have to call my students tonight and VBS starts tonight as well. Tyler's birthday tomorrow and I still need to get plates, etc. Where is my head? LOL

Maybe later,

ignorance is bliss...

Warning: deep thoughts ahead-- LOL.

OK, maybe not "ignorance" exactly, but "not knowing". I would love to have the type of personality that didn't need to understand every tiny little detail of every single thing. I drive myself nuts. I started thinking about the tests that the immunologist ran-- not really knowing exactly what they were-- and I wondered if the results were back yet. Since I don't go back until the 31st, I thought the easiest way to at least tell if they were back yet was to just look at my insurance info online to see if it had come through yet... mistake...

Not only now do I see a big bill headed my way (on top of many others I already have, which makes me worry more), but I also now know that they ran some DNA tests called flow cytometry, which is good and thorough (will help flag what's going on with the candida), but also flags things like cancer, leukemia, serious immune issues... (I had to dig around for what this thing was for)... anyway, now I'm nervous again. That's why I think not knowing is better... I mean, I know I *need* to know what's going on, but I would have been a lot better off not knowing exactly what they had done until I get there and the dr. tells me.

I really do know God is in control and I feel like I am going where He has sent me in respect to going back to teaching and all the things involved in that. The point is, I need to stop my quest for being so thorough about everything and just trust Him to give me the answers. I am seeing that more and more. It's much like when the truck trailer hit us a few weeks ago. Stuff happens, you get out and take a look at it, but realize there's nothing you can do to change it and you keep going, trusting God to take care of it. You don't examine it too closely-- don't let it take your eyes off of Him and where He was taking you before it happened. You let it unfold and keep going.

Rich Mullins was so right...

If we can reach beyond the wisdom of this age
Into the foolishness of God
That foolishness will save those who believe...


I need to own that... that is bliss.
