Was That You, God?

I’m not sure if it was a divine message from God, or a subtle message from my son, but I GOT THE MESSAGE!!

Yes I admit it’s been a while since I’ve cleaned my toilet. The main bathroom stays clean cause Mom cleans it after she gets Sarah out of the shower several times a week, but the little porcelain throne in my room sometimes gets a wee bit neglected. When I was following FlyLady, my pooper got swooshed every morning, but Robert made fun of my relationship with THA FLY, so I gave her and all of her routines up!!

Mind you, it doesn’t have black things growing in it or around it, or that little orange ring that’s visited me in the past, it’s just a bit stanky.

So, imagine my surprise when I go to take my shower this morning, and there, on my little porcelain pot lid, is a SCRATCH & SNIFF sticker!!!!!!!

What up with that? I know I’ve been praying for God to show me what he wants me to do, but I meant like real, important, life-changing things. Surely he wouldn’t tell me to clean the toilet?

But I’m trying to be a good little Bible reading, always praying, do what I’m called to do Christian, so I’m gonna get down on my knees, with a song in my heart, and SCRUB that little sucker till she shines!!!!

But what I’m really hoping is that Bobby just removed the sticker from his new bottle of soap and tossed it over the shower door, and it ACCIDENTLY landed on the toilet, cause surely God’s not called me to be a JANITOR?

Right?

What am I doing here?

Ok, I started this blog a couple of weeks ago with the intention of blogging for the very first time in my life. It has taken me TWO weeks to get back to it. It's now the middle of January!! I have so much I want to write about, and so little time. I really am the LAST person to jump on the blogging bandwagon!!

I was hoping that blogging would give me an extra push to keep my New Year's Resolutions, which I have more of this year than any year before!!! Obviously, that didn't happen yet :) Also, I wanted to chronicle my struggles with Ebay, Prayer, and Weight Loss, all of which seem to give me big greatest challenges!

I have a Love Hate relationship with Ebay. I absolutely love selling on Ebay, but it has taken over my life and my house. Anybody who sells a lot (or TRYS to sell a lot) knows that merchandise spills out of every nook and cranny in your house, garage, shed, everywhere. I'm surprised I haven't started storing stuff in my vehicles!! Hey, that's a great idea, no ,no, no you can't do that. I'm okay now, but I struggle with those conflicting kinds of thoughts daily!!

Now, if I could get my Prayer Life in order, I would be soooo happy. I've started reading through the Bible in a year, like I do every year, the only difference this time is I've actually kept it up almost a month now. I'm so happy!! But this year I'm doing it on the computer, and since I spend my whole life in front of the computer, it's been easy this time. It is the first (most of the time) thing I do in the morning, after I make the coffee and fix Robert & Bobby's lunch for the day! Prayer, on the other hand, is so much harder for me. Almost every time I start to Pray, morning or night, I get sidetracked so easily. Am I the only one who thinks about everything I have to get accomplished when I try to spend some quiet time with the Lord? I don't think so, but I'm working on that too!

Now, about the weight. I've gained all but 7 of the 30 pounds I lost 4 years ago. It took 4 years, but I managed to gain it all back. Now I have a goal: to lose 20 pounds by the time we start going back to the River for the summer, so I'm not sooooooo miserable in my clothes, and I won't break my husband and dad's back when they have to pull me back in the boat again! Long story, lots of bruises, not doen that again~!!!

I think I've covered everything for my first blog! Except, I'm working on a Medical Journal to sell on Ebay, and I want to update my progress as I go!! I've used this Medical Journal for Sarah (who has Spina Bifida) for many, many years and I've had so many Doctors and Nurses, Therapists and others tell me they wish everybody would use one, that I thought it was time to share. I'm excited about this book, and just made one for my Aunt who has MS and lots of other medical problems.

I should go for now, I've got sooooo much to do, but this was fun, and I just might give this blogging thing a real chance!!!!!!
