Oh Mama!!

When will these precious kittens come and give you some relief from your heavy underbelly?

We continue to wait (impatiently I might add) for the delivery of some precious kittens that I have wanted for YEARS (literally).

Umph....I skipped most of my work today so that I would be home when the "blessed event" takes place.

Still...nothing.

I remember being pregnant with my children and friends and family would watch me like I was a ticking time bomb.

It was annoying.

I think I understand though. There is just something so wonderful about "new life"...it is one of my favorite things.

Encourage one another (while I sit at home listlessly waiting)

Nutter Butter Balls

Internet...I am moody today. I have been fighting off a migraine and this is the second one in less than a week.

I don't understand why we have to have migraines Lord....but I know that a bunch of Tylenol and a bucket of chocolate would make it all much better.

It would help also to have all of the beautiful children you blessed me with pretend that the "quiet game" is the best thing in the world. Sadly, they rarely play the quiet game...but if I had chocolate to bribe them with??....

Sigh....so I will wait until my "knight in shinning armor" comes home from work with a kiss on his lips and some chocolate for his "fair maiden".

Your amazing

In the hands of God,
We will fall
Rest for the restless, and the weary
Hope for the sinner
In the hands of God,
We stand tall
Hands that are mighty, to deliver
Givin' us freedom

You're amazing, You're amazing, You are
You're amazing, You're amazing, You are
And we praise You, Lord, for what Your hands have done
You're amazing, You're amazing, You are

Internet....there is nothin' more splendid than a cool "otter pop" on a hot summers day. Most definitely....one of our favorite's.

This is not a picture I took (nor do I know the little one with the slippers on her hands)...but I think it is adorable. :0)
