Thanks



Ok, im just going to write a little bit and then get up and clean this place up......i promise.
So yesterday was a good day. I still feel a little drained of my energy, a little confused with the future
and my body aches from the left over stress. But things seem better, feel more hopeful and even peaceful.
Im so excited about the things i got done yesterday. Jordan(my husband of less than a year) and i have been wanting a new drum ever since my djembe blew up in our bus in redding. Its been almost a year since we really played and to see that thing sitting in the corner was just depressing at times. But the chance finally arrose where we had the abillity to buy a new one......and fix the old one. So i searched on ebay and found the perfect drum. It is called "the praying hands drums" and its this beautiful dark wood, its pretty big, black nylon rope and at the base of it, is a hand carved circle with these two hands pressed together in prayer. It finally worked out for me to order it, put the money in the mail.....and it should be here in a week or two! and then i was walking around with my sister tabitha and we came accross this store that has been in our small town for like a hundred years and it turns out they have new owners who put drum heads on for really cheap. So i dropped our old drum off and that will be ready in a few weeks as well. Then theres my manual camera. Im always messing around with it, trying to learn it in and out. so it broke and i thought it was the battery, once i paid way to much for a battery to fix it......it turns out that wasn't the problem. So i asked tabitha(shes a photographer) what could be wrong with it.....i ask her a camera question about 2 times a year(when my cameras give out). She said that i could have one of hers! And its really old, looks like it will take really nice pictures and its her first camera that she saved up for when she was 13. Im so excited! Its only 9:30am and i have already been outside snapping pictures of the woods and the dew and the sunlight. I think God just wanted to give a little booste in my spirit cause the person i have been hurt about, seems so much better yesterday. so much better and that made me hopeful and happy. The downside to the start of my weekend is that everyone in my house is sick. Asher wakes up with his throught closed in the middle of the night and i have to calm him down so he wont hyperventalate. Jordan came home from work at about 6:30 yesterday with a sore throught and a little fever and he took nyquill and went straight to bed.....and is still there. I know when he is really sick, he "sleeps in" past 7am. So i got him some emergency, and i want to get going and really clean this house. This house has depressed me to no end. But it gets better. Its like the more i thank God for what i have, the more he shows me to be thankful for. We have a little puppy named Minrah and we got him at like 8 weeks old. But did anyone tell me that puppies were like having more children or such a pain? probably, but i just didn't listen. Oh! he is so needy and whines to be held...im serious. And now he only pees at night time. But for about 2 months now our house has smelled of pee. I walk in sometimes and just have to turn around and walk out. The thing is , is that asher has been without diapers for about 2 months as well. So when we first started with asher, he would really pee the bed every night, and sometimes at nap time. Him and Minrah were on the same schedual for peeing all over everything we own. I mean i don't think we have had a visitor in months. There is a pile of every blanket we own in the hallway that i keep washing and hanging, and washing and hanging....but the good news is, is that they are both almost like 80% better. Soon we will be pee free. Then we are going to move all of our furniture out and steam vac the whole house. actually...jordans parents are coming to visit the first and second of april....aaahhhh! It will be great to see them but i think we will have to deep clean sooner than i thought. Anyway,
thank you God for my house of pee!
