Hello every body, once again I am back for a little while. The temps are ok and currently it is -4 here, but somehow with ALOT of prayer we are getting by ! I hope that every one is well and doing ok !
Well, we took our dog "Bindi" to the humane society in LaCrosse this afternoon, we were all a bit sad, but I know it is what is best for her. Over our 4 months of having her she never wanted to use the bathroom outside, just inside ... or she'd litterally chew everything in sight, even my 2 year old ! So, we just could no longer deal with it. She needs a really big home to roam in and one that better fits her personality, she was really loving, but she'd be so excited all the time that it usually ended up overshadowing it. She'd mean well, like by being too excited to see my 2 year old, but she didn't understand (I don't think) that she was so big and would always knock him over, much to his tearful dismay ! I am going to miss her alot, but I know it is going to be okay. I know it is for the best.
We cleared out the kids closets through out the week and took clothes to the "Once Upon A Child" store (A re-sale shop) this afternoon as well, Brittany made the most money selling all of her short skirts and skimpy shirts, suprisingly - she made more than I did on Cameron's, Hannah's and Jordan's things ! The rest of what is not too used or questionable, I will give to our church I think. Yes folks, we have gone all dress, all the time here. What can I say ?! Ya' gotta do what is right. (See below verses)
Also today, Brittany and I cleaned out the DVD shelf that we have. There are NO longer any more rated "R" movies in the whole house and anything even questionable is now gone as well or put away ! I have three shelves, one for rated "G", one for rated "PG" and one for rated " PG-13" ... but that only has 5 on it now that we found suitable to stay. We just have really begun to see what a difference it makes in the kids as far as what they watch ! Try it ... I will BET YOU you'll notice it too ! After all ... "At home is where they learn the most for the rest of thier lives!" (Psalms 101:3 and Phillippinans 4:8)
Hmmmmm ...what else has been going on here ... lemme think .......
Well, the other night the pipes froze (when it was the actual temp of -24 outside at night) near our wash machine and burst all over the basement floor ..... took us hours to clean up and made a mess, not at ALL easy when cold let me tell you, but it got done ! Glory be ... Will be needing to fix that this weekend hopefully, laundry is building up !
Been doing well lately keeping a positive attitude, prayer helps and even Our Pastor stopped by this evening and stayed to talk with us for a bit, it was nice to have someone to talk to ... I mean other than the kids. I think I may have finally found "some" nice people in this town !
Well, I am going to go spend time with the kids b4 bed time and I wanted to relax as well. I will try to write more when I can !
Take care all, I have missed talking to you !
GOD BLESS ! :) TAMMIE
