Critterfixer Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hugs for Krissi and family. Not too close, though. Because I have cooties. I am officially tired of coughing. My ribs hurt so much when I cough, it isn't funny. Cough medicine helps, but only for about three hours, and then I'm back at it. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (((Krissi))) ITT is showering you in so much love and prayer. 5 hours ago, myblessings4 said: Oh goodness gracious, Slache! I need you here to teach me things. Each kid has an echo. I don't know a thing about them. I do know ds11 asks it to tell him the weather each day, while he's picking out clothes. See? Millenials are cool. Go say "Alexa, open thunderstorm sounds." 4 hours ago, mama25angels said: Good morning ladies, I'm baaack! Did you miss me? I had a wonderful, wonderful Christmas holiday and I'm looking forward to New Years. How is everyone? Is anyone going to do a word for the year? I have so much I want to accomplish this year, I really should be writing it down because keeping it in my head never works, lol! Angi, have a great day at work! I have done words of the day before and written them on my bullet journal's cover. I didn't really feel a need for a certain word in 2018, not really feeling one this year either. Past words have been peace (from stress), joy, progress and pray (for praying more). 2 hours ago, Susan in TN said: How do you do a word / bird for the year? Do you pick a weird word like anguilliform? Krissi, I vaguely remember you having a word of the year but I don’t remember what is was either. You choose a theme, put it somewhere you'll see it to remind you and focus on it as a goal. At least that's what I did. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 BIL brought us through Magnolia - really neat place. Most of us spent the afternoon doing a watercolor painting thing. I am not an artist but it was fun. My sister has good supplies. Ds23 has come down with the crud. Dd9 is acting like she feels better though she says her throat still hurts and she is pretty stuffy. Ds14 is still coughing up a lung. Au gratin potatoes and ham for dinner. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been dealing with some very serious issues regarding oldest DS, life has been a nightmare. But, he has been removed from our home and we are on the road to recovery, and I can say I have felt God’s Grace and mercy in ways I could never have imagined, and so we are doing all right. We spent the past couple days at my parents’ house camping out on couches and the floor. We get the keys to our new house today, so we are going to start moving in right away. We still have new carpet to get installed, but we are just going to not put things in those rooms.😜 I pray that you may continue to feel His peace in such a difficult time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why that had such an impact on me. I probably can relate from my childhood trauma. There's just something about the phrase "God is good" that is peaceful and comforting. After pain and hunger and struggling and crying I know that HE is good and everything is going to be in ok because he is good. There is so much I don't understand and I'm always so frustrated when people say "God wouldn't let that happen" because he would, but that doesn't detract from his goodness. That's our failure, not his. And as we go through our daily lives of joy, death, peace, pain, excitement and trauma he is good and his goodness shines through it all. Someday I will be tired, and sore, I will have lived a life of unimaginable pain and true joy, and I will wake up to nothing but his goodness because that's all that will be left. That will be a good day. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Imma alive. Christmas hugs & wishes for joy and wellness to all. Dh is back to work today and I'm slowly working on catching up on laundry and dishes and post-holiday cleanup. Dd is feeling poorly and everyone has post-sugar grumps.

I'm not overly worried about it, it was just a surprise, and a reminder to check my firewalls, etc.. I normally keep my camera covered but I do FaceTime from my laptop from time to time. I don't think they'd see much beside a boring wall, my wrinkles/grey hair/glasses, and my rumpled loungewear.
