But hey at least I feel like cleaning the apartment all of the time ;-)

*snort*

Whew! what a week. I went home for the weekend, then when I got back I got called into work at (:30am on Monday worked till 9:30pm then back in at 5:30am till 10Pm, then 5:30am till 1:30pm yesterday, then off for typhoid vaccination ( pills I thought it was going to be a shot) then home to mom/dad then to prayer meeting/ youth group for final practice before we leave this Sat. I have had two clients home sick and 2 E.R. visits in the last few days, and two staff out one with shingles and one who's dad had a stroke, and is having alot of complications so been putting in alot of hours nice to know I was missed. Then I leave with 13 teenagers for South Jersey Sat am for a week, so won't be posting till around the 25th. I had at least 8 pages to read to catch up. But I am caught now. I have bowling then work from 2p-12a today. So still busy, gotta do laundry and pack yet.
E.Z.- Wonderful pics, great looking family, and kids (reba,rylee) I have been busy with youth group along with work but everything done for the trip all costumes made and last practice was last night. Pastor is doing awesome thanks for your prayers, its is suppose to be just a cyst like thing I guess, but not cancerous, and completely safe, not to worrry about it was what He was told. so that was a big answer to prayer. The roses were beautiful! Angie is a pretty lady she is just another rose in a beautiful garder, even without make-up.
M-kay- Honey sounds like you've had it rough, I thought I held the crown for stupid goofs. Heres one for ya, last year when I was flushing out the antifreeze from my camper pipes, I was setting up, and I let the sinks run, and had the shower on because you have to get all the anti-freeze out, before you connect the hoses. I was outside when I heard the pitch of the water change, I went to look and there was water running over the sink, down in all the draws and starting to come out the door. I didn't check to make sure the the levers where pulled that lets it drain into the sewer, instead of being held in the holding tanks. Top that one. It took a while to clean that mess up, and dry everything out.

Good Morning CEers!!!!

Oh, it's such a beautiful morning here with the sun kissing the grass and blooms of spring's first production and the birds are singing and the little hummingbirds are getting their breakfast after the night's rest. Ahhhh!

WELCOME!!!!!

Jackay ~ Lateralus98 ~ Jan ~
Anyone else seeking support and encouragement

~Sunny~ You are very welcome for the devotionals. I didn't plan on posting them everyday but it seems they always seem to fit especially the Dieter's Devotionals. If anyone out there struggles daily like I do than we need the guidance and direction that God gives us and I think these help.

I'm actually off from work today but have a million things I need to do. But here I sit drinking my and catching up. Next step will be watching my Joyce Meyer that I record daily and then my walk. But I won't be able to post a whole lot today since I have laundry, dishes, vacuuming, etc. waiting for me. Somehow, they never seem to go away. But I'm thankful for the clothes we have, the food we have and the beautiful home God provided for us. So, I guess I can't complain.

Gary~ We had our softball meeting Tuesday night and scheduled our games. Our first one is April 28th and the last one without district is June 10th. District will be the middle of July. I wish they could try to schedule them at a warmer time. Kaci has been practicing at short stop and does a pretty good job for the most part. She has a pretty good arm and gets it to first base most of the time. It's really hard finding the right position at this age since their's skills are far from being perfected at ages 6,7,8. But I love it.

Michele~ Hope this finds you feeling much better my friend. I hope you aren't doing too much these days. I hope that man of your gets in touch with you soon. Don't ya wish you could make them call when you wanted just by thinking about it? I would be should a crontrol freak if that worked. Just hang in there, patience is a virtue, they say, I don't know anything about it. I have NONE!

Wilma~Hang in there. I know it can be overwhelming but you can do it!!! We know you can!!

MKay~ Hope you are feeling much better now!

Sunny- Kristie loved phanton of the opera, but didn't care for Northeastern U. She goes to christian school and was flabbergasted at dorm life, and the language ect. So she has decided its christian colledge for her, either BBC or Ohio can't think of the name of the school. Thanks for prayers for pastor.

I cannot believe this. . . I have just spent the past half hour or so preparing a post, went to preview it, hit a wrong button somewhere and LOST IT ALL! I cannot believe I did something so stupid! Makes me so mad at myself!

Anyway, WELCOME lateralus98 & Jackay, nice to have both of you with us.

I'll post again later, - guess I'm too busy fuming now - Margie

Welcome Lateralus98 and Jackay!!!!!!!

We are fun as all get out! We don't care what denomination you are...we are all God's kids and He's our Daddy! Amen!

EZ...You had a very good point saying the part about people KNOWING you are pleasing and they withhold appreciation. THAT'S IT!!!! It's now going to be my agenda for a bit. Less is more...not at my expense tho. I can certainly relate to your friend. I've been telling Michele that I MUST look to God to fill those voids...please relay that to your friend. God fills mine with things as simple as a gentle breeze, a great song on the radio, my warm blankey is warmer and softer than usual, etc. Thanks for your words.

Sunny...Wow you are doing great walking. I'm surprised you didn't freeze in one spot this morning. It was cooooooold outside. Yipee for Joe's job! Mine's still in FY06...Amen! Actually my position (doesn't mean me per say) made it through 75% dept cuts if necessary. We didn't have to cut that deep this time so I am thankful. Now if I could only be that happy in the a.m. when I struggle to get here.

Jackay...Ouch on losing Mom. We've not had a loss in my immediate fam yet. Praise God!

Michele...Hang in there my sweet...start taking care of Michele (Yarn Cafe is a wonderful start).

Lateralus98...those meds sound awful. Get some rest!

Smiley...thanks for devotion! Yes, I am feeling better...no more cold and not even a sinus infection.

doitforme...too good about the sink in the camper. silly sisters in goof ups! Jersey huh? Gary is from there originally.

Check in later today!

Mitchypoo - Thanks for making me laugh, - I don't stay upset very long, hardly ever get mad and usually have a lot of patience (which sometimes gets me walked all over!) But things are good and I'm going out for my lunch walk now, so I can at least try to keep up with SunnyD!

To the PO to ship a package to my nephew . . . more later - - Margie

Wow, thank you all for the really warm welcome! You guys are my idols right now. We all can do this.
