Random Catch Up

OK so last week was a crazy not typical week for us that started out bad and ended on a great note. 

So here is a recap.....

This was actually a few weeks ago but I wanted to post the sweet picture. We met up with our great friends after bible study a few weeks ago and let the kids play and play and play while us moms caught up on life. It was so refreshing and more needed than I ever realized. 

So this is how last week started off. We lost power Sunday Night (Superbowl night) for a few hours. Little did we know it would be the theme for the next few days. We lost power for an hour or more every day until Thursday. Tuesday we were without power for nearly 10 hours. BOO! 

The kids were out Monday for icy conditions and Tuesday they went back to school only to get out early when the rain was freezing rapidly to the trees and power lines (that's why we lost power for so long that day). The kids were out of school Wednesday and Thursday and went in late Friday. Our area got hit pretty hard by the ice. 

The kids thought sleeping on pallets in the living room, when the power was out, was such a fun adventure. Tim and I..... not so much!

We may have started to go a little crazy and have major cabin fever! 

We were supposed to have more winter weather hit this week but I think there forecast has lifted the watches. Thank Goodness!!! I am sick of cold wintery weather. 

I got my Essential oils in the mail last week and I was so giddy! 

I already LOVE the diffuser and have diffused Thieves oil in it a few times (Thieves oil kills germs and helps you fight off any sickness coming on). We haven't really felt bad but this time of the year is always bad for illness so we are being proactive. 

I had sinus burning/ pain yesterday morning and Frankincense oil rubbed under my eyes and over my nose helped it go away and I haven't had another pain yet. 

This sweet girl is really into praying. I LOVE that! If she hears someone say they are not feeling good or hurting she stops right away and prays for them! I mean seriously.... a 3 year old taking notice of others needs and praying for them..... I could learn a lot from her! 

This morning she woke up and the first thing she said to me (in the sweetest little voice) was "mom, I prayed for you!" 

Now that's a great way to start your day. 

She knows my hand has really been bothering me and she has covered it in prayer. LOVE IT! 

Speaking of my hand.... here is a picture of it. The swelling was bad this particular day. I have a good day and then a bad day etc... this particular day was a bad day of course. I finally am breaking down and going to the doctor. tomorrow. I believe it may be fractured and I am thinking that since it has been 2 weeks without much improvement that I better have it looked at. UGH! I hate the inconvenience of taking the time to go to the dr. I wish there was a natural remedy for that but alas there isn't! SIGH! 

OK I am hoping this week will be a better blogging week. At least I have power today to get this post up.
