okay...for some reason the last post posted twice. Oh well..that is fine.

BRRRR!! Super cold snap in our area and many others. We got some freezing rain/sleet and ice...some snow showers off and on too during the day. Noah and I finally lit a fire in the fireplace. Sure was nice and cozy. I made 6 mini loaves of pumpkin bread yesterday afternoon after I started many other projects! I am finishing up taking down my Christmas decorations. Probably would have almost finished the tree but Noah was ready for bed super early. Or at least story time. He then wanted to come back out here around 7:00 or so and watch some television. He fell asleep before 8:30 p.m. He woke up when I came home this morning at 4:30 a.m......I told him it was too early for him to get up and to go into bed with daddy. So he went. I covered him up and kissed him and told him to go back to sleep. Today is a school day and he gets his ID done today so I want him refreshed and in a great mood. He is normally in a great mood.

He is talking a lot more now. SO MUCH more it is amazing. I love it too when he comes up with answers or questions or comments all on his own without prompting like in the past. I can tell him he is mommy's sweetie pie and he will say "Mommy is Noah's sweetie pie too!". So cute!! He enunciates so well too! He will say good night Mommy so well.

Anyway...Audrey has the chicken pox. Angela is in the hospital at least till today. Everyone else is doing well as far as I know. Finally feels more like winter here. Hope to get the tree done and DOWN today. Next will be completing putting all the decorations away. Then this spring we want to paint and redo some things in the house..should be FUN!!

One of the doctors I work for recognized me as going above and beyond my call of duty by finding him Down's syndrome growth charts. That was a nice surprise.

Noah said he would like a baby sister. He is learning the difference between today and tomorrow. After Keith left for work he kept whispering "goodbye daddy"...."see you tomorrow".....again SO SWEET! I do pray God continues to watch over and protect him at ALL times.

Eating some pumpkin bread...should make some coffee next.

Bye for now. I know..I am most likely very boring to most!!

So....now my sister Angela is back in the hospital...not sure what is wrong with her. They now think it is a "middle ear" infection.....she cannot even stand up she is so dizzy. Hope to find out more today. My grandma is doing okay....but my cousin told me that she told her doctor that her and grandpa are "just waiting around to die". Made me and Debbie start to think about that and getting older. I can see where you could easily get depressed. PLUS...on the talk show tonight I was listening about biological experiments that have been done on our own people and service people....and MANDATORY vaccinations...and down the road what could happen to people who might refuse them. Got me then to thinking about the "end times" and "taking the mark of the beast". Not sure if these could be related or not. How do we know what are really in those vaccinations? How do we know they do not at the same time inject us with some number identification, thus we "take the mark of the beast" ?? REALLY can start to make you wonder and wonder what you and your family would do. I mean they are saying you could be quarantined......lose your house and all your possessions.....clothing..food and water to be taken away if need be...etc...etc..etc. Sounds so hard to believe our country could end up like that but at the same time why? I suppose it could happen. PLUS there are things that happen all the time we never know about. I imagine if people resisted the vaccination they would find another "secret" way to make sure we were all immunized to different things. Look at kids now. They are required to receive all these different vaccinations. Could really make your brain tired and depressed trying to think about all this...and yet we are responsible....and especially responsible for making the right decisions about our children and our own lives. I did a 2 year Bible study on the book REVELATION from the Bible. I may have to go back and review all my information from that. Scary yes!!! I guess many of us just prefer keeping our heads in the sand so to speak so we do not even have to think about it. I wonder about all the people who never get to voice their opinion? LIke older people...or sick people...or children....etc. They could be vaccinated without them even knowing about it. I doubt you could totally escape civilization either could you? I am sure someone could always find you. How about the homeless? How would they even know about them? Almost seems impossible that they could vaccinate everyone....I doubt the government even knows where everyone is do they? I suppose they do or they could find out.

Anyway...still taking Christmas decorations down. I really need to get this done. Keith is taking a vacation day today. Noah goes to preschool. I watched 7th Heaven.....Everwood and at the same time switched back and forth to the Hallmark channel to see a movie called The Long Way Home with Jack Lemmon. It was really good. Got you to thinking again about getting old and not just sitting around waiting to die......but to LIVE.

Lights out outside again. Not sure who messed with them this time. Keith replaced the one right across the parking lot from us. The one on our end is missing the bulb and dome. The other one across the lot and at the end is out or missing a bulb. I think kids are messing with them again. WHO KNOWS..but what a pain in the butt. AND it makes it super dark outside.

Well...I need to get to work. Lots to do. I get to bring the computer home from work. I will need to get a work station on wheels to put it on. Will be nice having 2 PCs here. While Noah is on mine I can now work if I want to.

Okay..more later
