Seeking the Lord Daily

I am finally getting some work accomplished Prasie the Lord!!!! I feel like I am moving forward with my house cleaning finally after a few blah days. Cameron is leaving Tuesday for a job and won't be back until Wednesday. Then he will be on vacation until Monday!!!! I am so excited. I hate that he has to go out of state, but I am glad he is off after that. I am still feeling a little nauseous, but atleast I don't have the swine flu, right :-) Yes, it could always be so much worse that it really is. I have to stop and remind my self of that constantly. Well Im am off to finish my housework and run to Wal Mart to pick up Taylor's meds. Maybe I will write again later :-) Blessings~ Maudie

Today is another one of those days. I have really not been able to get anything accomplished the last couple of days and it is starting to show. I love to have everything in order. I am kinda aa perfectionist at times. Today I had to get up bright and early and take Taylor Grace to the Doctor about a rash that she has. She is now going to have to go to a dermatologist. Then I came home and my older girls had left their bedroom door open and my moms chiuahuah(sp?) pooped on their bed!!!! It makes me sick!!!! Mother treats the dog as if he can do no wrong, when really he bites and nips at everyone, including her. He is down right mean at times. It is days like this that I do miss the comfort of having a home that just included me, my beloved and our kiddos. I wish that my mother was in good enough health that she could live on her own. But that is not the case. I have to remember that the Lord never gives us more than we can handle and that I am privlaged to have a mother in which to ta

It is truly a beautiful day here today. It is sunny and warm with a slight breeze. We are about to start our wisdom booklets for today and hopefully hurry up with school, so we can get outside! I am so ready to go out adn just enjoy the weather. Its days like this that make it hard to finish my housework. My kids are ready to go and so am I. I was thinking this morning about all the uncertainty that we are facing as a nation right now. The "swine flu" is quickly spreading our way and now not only do we have that to worry about, but we have the economy, our freedom and a host of other things. But we should fear not because our Lord has all this under control. My beloved is seriously considering starting his own business. I am on the other end of the spectrum where I think he should just stay put. But who am I to say yay, or nay? I am not the one having to work in the enviroments that he has to work in. I feel for my beloved and am so proud that he is dilligient in taking care

Okay, forgive me if the color is not good. I am trying to find a good color to use daily on my post :-) Thanks for all the comments yesterday on my color scheme. Today is going to be a busy day . I can already tell. My hubby is back at work and its just the kids, myself and my mom. School is supposed to start in an hour, but it is a beautiful day here, I still have a ton of laundry and housework to do , plus I still have flowers to plant. I honestly think that today will just be a "nature/home management day", plus my oldest daughter is still sick with some type of stomach bug. I also am dedicateting this week to trying to getting 5year old under control. He is abn absoloute terror at times and he is constantly making noise or moving. Yes, I know he is 5 and he is a boy, but he still needs self control. I will be using the 'blanket training" method on the rest of the kids that we have. I wish I would have known about it sooner. Like maybe 10 years ago, lol. My oldes

A friend of mine said that the dark red was hard to read on my blog background, so I am trying new colors!!!! What about this ??? This??? This??? This ???? Lucinda... I hope you get back with me on CMOMB and chime in on what looks better :-)

Well its Sunday and I am just pooped! I have not accomplished anything that I wanted to do today and it is already 2:40pm. My beloved is asleep on the couch , my sick daughter is sitting here with me and my youngest child and only son to this date, is hovering over me, likes flies over a pile of poo! I would love a HUGE energy shot and be able to accomplish everything at lightning speeds, but unfourtunately that does not happen. Tomorrow will be busy until atleast lunch because it is a school day and we are already having to continue with school until early June to make up for the days we already missed. My mother in law is so dead set against us homeschooling and living modestly. I dread seeing her this afternoon. I have a sick feeling also. Like nauseousness is setting in. I pray that I am not getting a stomach bug. I have far too much to do this next week to be sick with a bug. I am already zapped enough of all my energy, that I can not imagine getting sick right now. I do however f

I am here at this computer at a little after 9 pm. My 5 year old son is still quite rowdy and my girls are gone with their Nana ( my beloved's mother). I guess I am bored and have decided to actually write for twice in 1 day. Do NOT get used to that, lol! I will more than likely not have this opportunity quite often. Today I have been struggleling with the wrong type of attitude. I feel like I am so blessed, yet at times I am so ill and irritated. I am going to re-read Debbie Pearls " Created To Be His HelpMeet" again for like the 50th time. It is so easy to forget what you have when you are consumed with the day to day hussle and bussle of being alive, running a home, homeschooling 4 children and just doing what all you have to do in general. I haven't got in alot of prayer time today or yesterday. The one day that I was happiest last week , was when I got lots of prayer time in. I prayed in the morning when I woke up, on my way back from dropping my beloved off at w

As I promised I said that the next entry would be more about us, and so here goes~ On top of all the day to day things that we have going on( my 74 year old mom also lives with us) we homeschool. We are members of the ATI ( IBLP , Bill Gothard) . If you are unfamilar with it, you can google it or check out there webpage at : www.ati.iblp.org./ati/ and see what you think. I am going to post some onf my favorite links as soon as I have the time. We homeschool because after several years of having our kids our in public schoool, we realized that we were not happy with some of the "fruits" they were producing. Plus it is so much easier to have my girls and guys with me, rather than wonder whats going on somewhere else. Its not always a blast 100% because we are still training them and they are still kids who want to run wild! But thats normal in my book. Well I here my little man getting up, so I will have to cut it short for now. Blessings, Maudie

I am finally glad to have found a new blog spot on the web. We have blogged before and I have had atleast 3 Myspace accounts and although I do have a Facebook, I don't know how to use it, so I have never been on it since I first started it up about 2 years ago. So my first entry will be about me family and I. I am married to the most wonderful man ever, Cameron and we have been married since I was 17. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last December. We are looking forward to many more years togther. We are parents to 4 very active, strong spirited children. Our oldest 3 are girls and they are: Jodee 10, Savannah 9, and Taylor Grace 8. We then were blessed again with another pregnancy that resulted in a miscarriage followed by another pregnancy which resulted in the birth of our 5 year old son, James. We had a tubal ligation during his birth, which was a premature birth at 34 weeks along. I knew shortly after that , that I had made a mistake by allowing my tubes to be tied.
