Pinch Me

Are you wearing green today? I didn't think to put any on. I am wearing purple. Oh well. Pinch me.

I decided to look up a little bit of St. Patrick's Day humor for us. Here are a few jokes.

Why can't you borrow money from a leprechaun?

Because they're always a little short.

Why do leprechauns have pots o' gold?

They like to "go" first class.

What's Irish and stays out all night?

Patty O' Furniture

Haha! Yeah, I know, a little cheesy. I hope you have a great St. Patrick's Day.

Oh happy day...

I paid a little visit to my doctor yesterday. It was a follow up after my hCG went to 3 last week. The doc came in and seemed to be bracing himself for any tears that were flowing from me. He said he never knows what to expect when a patient has gone through something like myself. I smiled really big and told him "I am doing great!" "No worries doc." He made me feel so good. He sat and talked with me for a while and I got to share my faith with him. It was a good meeting.

He basically just told me that we can just keep doing what we've been doing and try not to worry. He did say we are not 100% sure that the baby was trying to attach in my tubes. There is a test he could do that shoots dye up my tubes and they can see if my tubes are blocked. But, since we are not sure there is a problem with my tubes we are going to put that off. I just feel in my heart that God will make a healthy baby for me. Someday. I don't want to worry with that test right now. I want to just wait, pray, trust, and HOPE for a blessing in the near future.

Please keep praying for me.

I hope you all have a fabulous, blessed weekend!

Feel Good Wednesday #3

Third Day

Keep On Shinin'

from their Album Wherever You Are

It feels like forever since I can remember

It seems like it's always been this way

Keep the good news to ourselves, like a secret we'll never tell

I don't know why we've been so ashamed

But changes are in the air, sparks are starting everywhere

And oh, what a sweet, sweet sound

With millions of voices, singing new choruses

Leading the way to higher ground

Chorus:

Keep on, keep on shinin'

Wherever you may be

Keep on, keep on shinin'

For all the world to see

Having faith in the long run is easier said than done

It's hard to live out in the light of day

You're bruised and you're battered, your dreams have been shattered

Your best-laid plans scattered over the place

Despite all your tendencies, God sees it differently

Your struggle's a time to grow

And you, you're a miracle, anything but typical

It's time for the whole wide world to know

Last week I brought you the new artist Francesa Battistelli that is up for NEW Artist of the Year for the Dove Awards. Now, this week, I bring you one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE Christian groups EVER! I love these guys. I didn't even realize they had so many albums out. Seems like I may need to pay a visit to the Itunes Store soon. Anyways, these guys are up for Artist of the Year for the Dove Awards. As my sister and her friend would say "They are fiERce!" They have a rockish sound to them. Summer, go to Itunes and look these guys up. I think you "might" like a few of their songs. Not sure. Ask me for some of my favorite songs...I've got a list.

I hope you all have a fabulous Feel Good Wednesday.....I'm trying hard to feel good about my job this week. I am very blessed to have one, unlike many in this country.

Trying to keep my head above all this paper!

THIS is my desk. I just had to share this picture with you all so you could see the headache I've had these last couple of days. This is what my desk looks like when I have been procrastinating and the work starts to catch up with me. Maybe in a few weeks, after the tax season is finally over, I'll have a better, cleaner picture for you all.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm hoping Feel Good Wednesday will be good to me. ha!

The heat is on!

Oh my. I'm sitting here wondering if anyone is as bad of a procrastinator as I am.

Our company accountant came in to my office this morning (yes - what was he thinking doing this to me on a Monday!--and a Monday after a time change -Argh!). He was checking up on me. You see, at my job I am in charge of our companies finances....basically I'm a bookkeeper...AND my boss's finances. I have known what would be required of me. But after facing my horrible setback in January I just haven't been focused. Now, my dear friend Carrie knows I am not quite focused anyways, but especially this year. Oh my word! I must get off this blog and get focused.

List of things I need in order to get focused:

No phone ringing, no emails from Ann Taylor telling me about the awesome cute sexy new blouses for Spring, no boss asking for help printing out an email, no friends updating their facebook, I really should unplug my internet connection from this pc (but oh, I just can't do that), perhaps a big cold iced down dr. pepper, upbeat music to put a little pep to my focus......and PRAYER from ALL of you! Prayer is much needed for me this week.

I need to be focused because the accountant lit a fire in my office today and the HEAT is ON! I wish I had my chord to my camera here at work so I could show you a picture of my desk and the list of to do's. OH MY HEAD! As Carrie would say, they're only numbers, they're only numbers, they're only numbers. I must keep repeating that and get off of this blog!

Happy Monday everyone. Remember to pray for me and my focus!

It hit me

It hit me today.

I REALLY want a baby.

That is all......must be the weather.

Feel Good Wednesday #2

I am really starting to have a love hate relationship with this music playlist player. The 2 songs I really wanted to choose from today are not there on their website to add to my playlist. So it's really making my Feel Good Wednesday not be such a feel good day.

So here's my 2nd try at giving you one of my favorite songs.

Francesca Battistelli has been nominated for 5 Dove Awards this year. I think this sweet young thing is very good and is going to go far in the Christian music business. Check her out and even listen to her cd My Paper Heart for free on her page. Click here. If you do, be sure to listen to Unpredictable. This song reminds us that we don't know God's plans....only He does. I wanted to add that song today but good ol' playlist.com wouldn't let me. But really her whole cd is AWESOME.Her song, I'm Letting Go, is one I would sing over and over after I got back from my girls trip last year. When I told God I was giving it up, letting go, and trusting Him 100% for a baby. Is there something you need to let go of and believe in God that He will take you out of your comfort zone and place you where He thinks is best? I'm really trying to let Him do that for me. It is difficult but I'm going back to the mission of trusting Him 100% again. Nothing is too hard for God.

I’m Letting Go

(Francesca Battistelli / Ian Eskelin / Tony Wood)

My heart beats, standing on the edge But my feet have finally left the ledge

Like an acrobat There’s no turning back

(Chorus) I’m letting go Of the life I planned for me And my dreams I’m losing control Of my destiny It feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe So I’m letting go

This is a giant leap of faith Trusting and trying to embrace The fear of the unknown Beyond my comfort zone

(Chorus)

Giving in to your gravity Knowing You are holding me I’m not afraid

(Chorus)

Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe

Feels like I’m falling and this is the life for me

Sorry the words were kind of jumbled. I sometimes have a hard time with this blog posting thing. It's weird. Any other bloggers have trouble sometimes with the spacing?

Anyways, I hope you all have a happy Feel Good Wednesday!

P.S. I got good news yesterday from the doctor.....after 6 1/2 weeks of blood tests my hCG number was down to 3 yesterday. That means my body is back to normal. I go to the doctor March 12th to discuss the future. Please pray for me. I want my tubes to be clear and my body to be ready. Please pray that either the doctor can give me some tests or answers OR that God gives me the peace that I need about getting pregnant again. I'm not really worried about that part but I would feel better knowing my tubes aren't blocked or something. I am emotionally ready to try again. I feel great!
