HIGH- got a new job on neuro ICU
ReplyDeleteLOW - i don't have a starting date and i am beginning to double think the job.
HIGH- thinking of you in africa.
tammy
We've never met, but that's OK. I am a friend of Mary's, so that should be good enough to follow your fun *and not so fun - sunburn = OUCH!!*! I am praying for you and your travels there... and hoping your good works fulfill you - even if others don't understand the choice you have made. On your lows, know that there are people who are thinking of you that you have never met, and who are praying for your safety and happiness. With that, the high in our house today is SUGAR COOKIES!!!
ReplyDeletehigh - plans to start a commune where we can raise our babies, have a farm, and live happily ever after are in the works
ReplyDeletelow - jessica got fired and the office is a terrible place right now
low - Owen has started waking up in the night again and we can't figure out why. My best guess is that he has an upper tooth coming in, but it is very difficult to look in his mouth, so i'm not positive yet. He HATES it when i try to look in there. Hopefully this passes in the next week or so.
ReplyDeletehigh - I got so many homesteader chores done around the house with my parents this weekend. We made some diaper wipes out of an old pair of flannel pants, covered the garden beds with hay, cleaned out the pantry, installed a closet bar in the laundry room so i can hang clothes to dry this winter, took the oregano that we grew, dried it for two weeks and then crushed it and put it into baby food jars to use until next year's crop :) Right now i am baking a pumpkin for owen to eat this week. yummmm
WOW!!! this game is so great!
ReplyDeletetammy- congrats on the job. you are going to wow them.

Droolie. I miss you. You are so awesome and I feel like our country is a missing some of it's shine when you are not in it. I know you are glittering somewhere else right now! Can't wait for you to come home and I am going to follow your blog obsessively!
ReplyDeleteMy high and low are the SAME: Lindsey is closing on her place on Friday and moving in on Saturday!!! I am ecstatic for her to have her own space but I will miss her and my Lala.

Wow! What a nice post. I feel like I'm right there with you! You are doing such a great thing and what an expierence that will carry with you throughout your like. I continue to pray for you. God wants is to live each day in the here and now. Making today good for us by making other peoples day better. You are certainly doing that and god bless you.
ReplyDeleteWith the heat yet to wear light color or white cotton clothing. Drink lots and lots of water. Eat on a regiler schedule. Shower often (this will also keep the unwanted critters at bay ). Take the bottom bunk. I recommend the grape bon joy cup when the Good Humor truck. Sorry.
I hope they are video taping your public seminar! Sounds like great YouTube material!! I'll never look at bananas the same way again
Low I had the flu for 3 days.
High. The love in our Family.
