The "Rennie" plan......that's a good one! I wonder if you could google that. ha! As for shower curtains, I got 2 lovely ones at IKEA when I went there with my daughter this spring for only $12.95! I won't be going there often as it is 4 hr. away but it was fun to visit. They have rooms all set up to give people good ideas of what they might want. I've had lots of answered prayers lately, too..........one son got a job and another came through surgery ok. Another son is moving back from Alaska. I miss them so and they have a little boy age 2. Another daughter is expecting and she is in her middle 30's. So lots of thanks to be given to the Lord. I've always prayed that I could get the weight off so I could be a good example for the kids with weight problems. I still have about 40lb to go with 20 gone.

Sounds like the Lord has smiled on you. I have a certain kind of thing I want for the bathroom and until we find it we will do without lol. I have even been looking for the cloth to make them myself if I can find what I want. I want the swags to hang a certain way over the tub and such.

Just a quick check in and letting you know my prayers are with all of you. You have all said it so well to Penmage there is nothing I can add but a ((hug)) ~ Gary

Good morning! Just a fly-by for me this morning as work is crazy! I have a very cranky co-worker, so it's going to be an interesting morning. I'll check back later to see how everyone is doing.

Have a blessed day!

Weigh in day - I'm up 2 lbs but that is mostly because of PMS. I've been doing okay with my eating and know that this will drop next week.

After a couple of cloudy rainy days we woke up to sunshine this morning. Tonight hopefully I will be able to get my front yard raked. It's looking kind of shabby and the exercise will be good for me.

Laura: I don't think I've welcomed you here yet. So, welcome. You'll find great support here.

Shy: Your story made me tired!! and so funny. It's so good to see the humour in things or you'd just go nuts, right?

Penmage: I was reading John 9 this morning. It has the disciples asking Jesus who had sinned to cause the man to be blind. Jesus answered that no one had sinned but God was using the situation to glorify him. He cares so much about YOU. Just cling to him. We are all praying for you and your upcoming surgery. HUGS!

Rosebud: Wow! Praise God for all your good news.

Hello to everyone else! Have an awesome day!

Whew! Taking a quick break from my insane day to pop in and say hi. :wave:
My work day is exploding in craziness!!!!!:dizzy:

At least I only have a little more than an hour to go. I have absolutely NOTHING planned for tonight. I'm going to go home, throw in a quick load of laundry, eat dinner, throw on my jammies and plop down to watch some Little House on the Prairie. I'm addicted to the dvds now. :D I watched this show as a little girl and I'm really enjoying watching it again. Such a wholesome show. It really reminds me of how much the world has changed.....morals in particular. We definitely need to pray for our world today.

Alas, work is calling me back. Have a great afternoon all and I'll try to pop on later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Laura

Wilma: PMS is the pits!! I always go up a pound or two around that time it seems. Enjoy your yard work!!

I tend to always find the funny side of things. I was told one time...you can be oh so very clever or oh so very nice. I lived for many years oh so very cleaver and made lots of money. Now I am Ohhhh so very nice and poor lol. Laughter is the best thing in the world and I didn't have much of that in my life when I was oh so very clever.

Hi all - just a quick flyby to let everyone know that I am continuing to keep you all in my prayers. Church meetings every night this week! Whew - some weeks are like that. Hopefully, I will have more time to post tomorrow.
Blessings to all :)

Good Morning one and all,

I've got a day of cleaning ahead of me, and the plumber is coming to look at my drain. I think we need new pipes run out from the kitchen. This house was built by the building trades school and I think the day they did plumbing someone must've been sleeping or drunk cause whats down there makes no sense, no sense at all. My little man last night had an allergic reaction to something, I had to take him to the clinic. He was swollen and broke out with hives all over, he had been like that most of the day at school and no one bothered to call me and ask if he had poison ivy or anything. He got worse when he got home and ate some of the red icing I made for Kylee's cupcakes. He has never had that happen before, so I was concerned. I don't have any allergies, so thats something I don't comprehend, hives and such. He's doing better now, and we still were able to take lil sis out for her b-day meal.

shy, I know what you mean, I had a great job making good money but the environment I was in pulled me down and to survive I had to be cutthroat and I hated it and the closer I grew to God the more I knew I had to get out of there. So now I'm a stay at home mom, and money is one of those things I used to have but find now was not all that I thought it was.

Dora, I was watching Little House the other day with my lil princess and I thought the same thing, wow look where we as a society are now. That show ran for so many years and if it were on now it probably wouldn't last one season.

just, Awesome to hear all your praises.

Trish

Trish, I see you have 5 kids. We have 10 and the youngest is now 17 so the empty nest is upon us. What a joy they have been! Of course there are lots of trials but that comes with life.

Good morning everyone. It's been awhile and my weight shows by that. I'm not where my ticker says I should be and I think I'm going to skip WI tonight too. I'm in a funk and can't get out. DH has quit going to TOPS with me, which is a huge reason to why I'm not loosing anymore. and when I do loose it's the weight that I gained the week before. UGH!

I have a HUGE prayer request. A co-worker of mine, Janet, her cousin was pregnant with quadruplets and delivered one on 4-30, her cervix closed up and the labor stopped. On 5-5 she had the other three, the day after one of the girls passed away. She had fluid in or on her lungs and wasn't very healthy. And then Tuesday two more passed away. While in the hospital they got a respiratory infection. The 4th baby is a boy named Cannon and he is on a respirator. Janet went to go visit the mom (Beth) today and I won't know if he has pulled through until tomorrow. So I have been praying for a miracle. Beth was having problems conceiving and was on fertility meds and that is how she got pregnant. She carried them 30 weeks, they had a huge baby shower and her community has really come together to help out with the costs of the babies. Please join me in a prayer for a miracle that Cannon WILL survive. I do not know if Beth is a Christian, I know that Janet is catholic...

Thank you for your prayers.

Please pray for my friend Arlene, she had cancer surgery in December and is not doing well she will be seeing her doctor tomorrow to see what they can do, she has had chemo and radiation but her situation is not good right now.

Hello

Isn't it funny. When we fill our life more with God we find we don't need all the things we needed before. I, like many, was very close to God and very church oriented and then in my early 20's let all that fall by the way side. It only lasted a few years but my life was very lonely no matter how much money I had or how many people were around. I am sure glad I smartened up and brought God back into my life. The money, the job, the clothes, the car...none of those things filled my life.

Carol
With 10 kids I am sure you aren't going to notice if I drop off a couple more at your house lol. I only have two and use to wonder how many kids I had. When I looked at all the faces at the dinner table, all the body's sleeping on the family room floor and all the toys in the back yard. I am sure I only have two but there were always 1/2 a dozen in and out of the house lol.

rosebud
Will sure keep your friend in my prayers.

bargoo
Will add your friend to my prayer list. God has enough love and comfort for everyone.

Rosebud, I am praying for your friend and her remaining baby.

Helloooo Ladies ^ Gents,

Had a rough start to me week. Decided in laws and mothers day should not go hand in hand! They like to stir up the drama pot.

Anyways, to more important things like the above prayer requests. I have added them to our list.

Carol - I have a hard enough time with my 3 plus 3 babysitting kids. I could not imagine 10. Wow you must have amazing organiztional skills!

Rosebud - Go for your WI. Honestly sometimes it hurts to go. But God will help you to the next level. If DH is not going anymore is there someone else you know from the group that you could car pool with?
