I am so sick. I feel so icky. But other than that, things are good. Some bug I have been wrestling has put me on the mat. I can’t be sick, I have too much to do right now and I really, really don’t want the kids to get it. I think UncleTom and Joel are already having the first symptoms that I had… headache off & on & sore throat at night & trouble sleeping. Then it goes into full blown sore throat & ears like I have never experienced before. I understand it lasts about two weeks. I am at end of week one.
I had to go to Costco for a few things after work and guess what happened? I was lifting my two gallon box of milk into the cart, when the cardboard handle tore out causing both gallons to fall hard to the floor. A whole gallon of milk lug, lug, lugged out onto the floor, while I stood their trying not to cry over spilled milk. The only thing I could think of to do was to call the pharmacy number which is in my memory from work to ask for HELP!!!!! It did not get into my shoes like the olive oil incident though.

In tribute to my dear Auntie who left us yesterday for her heavenly home: Thanks goes to Aunt Dodie for all the fun times we had. Thank you for being such a swell Aunt. I remember being a young girl and us laughing so hard it hurt as we pretended we had eyes on the end of our little fingers. I remember singing songs together and just hanging out. I know you are hugging Dawn and enjoying any other family and friends who have preceded you in your new life. Thanks for even doing a xanga site. What a trooper you have been! I am sure you are rejoicing in the presence of our Lord, but we will miss you down here. http://www.xanga.com/Dodieorl

That’s sad that your auntie is gone but she’s in her heavenly home now so that

Your little one does look cute in his new threads.
Sporty but Nifty in his new threads!……..Sorry to hear about your Aunt, at least she is with The King!…..Hope you have a Wonderful Weekend and a Very Blessed Sunday!……I will be praying for healing about your sickness…..In Christ’s Love….Monic
I’m sorry you’re sick. I pray everyone gets better soon.
At this rate, the supermarkets will have to have a cleanup guy follow you around.
It wasn’t your fault though.
I’m sorry about your aunt. I visited her Xanga and I think I remember you mentioning her before. She seemed like a nice lady.
Sorry for our loss.
Kathy, thank you for the remembrance of Dodie. It is heart warming and wonderful for me to hear about those things. Does Costco still let you in? Hope you get well soon.
RYC: Thank you for your kind words. It’s funny…while I am pretty burned on the “traditional” church, I’m actually still in the ministry, just on a part time basis. I’m the interim music director at my church (and have been for several years with no end in site). Like, you, I’ve discovered that a real relationship with Christ has very little to do with traditional religious dogma, and is all about the relationship. I was so caught up in all of the religious trappings for so long, that I have a real tendency to rail against it these days, but in reality, my faith has never been stronger. The church that I’m a part of these days would be considered very liberal by most standards but I finally realized that God is much more interested in who we are than in the words we use or what it is we “don’t” do. I always appreciate your comments! Thanks!

My prayers to you for peace and comfort.
Milk spilt in the aisle just days after olive oil. Seems there should be some spiritual message in that. Olive oil, milk,…. Annointing, nurturing….. Where’s Joseph or Daniel to tell us what it all means?
I don’t know blogdad….. isn’t it milk & honey? and anointing with oil… oh my, I guess I better go break a jar of honey next!
