Sunday
Well, today was a good day. I had the energy to get up, shower, get dressed and go to church. Once there, a donut from the welcome table sounded good. The service was wonderful, and it was so good to see folks. Mike is starting a series on The Sermon on the Mount, and today, we went through the beattitudes. Because of that, we sang some really neat songs, and 3 old hymns that had been modernized.
The hardest for me to get through was "It is Well With My Soul." I have to continuously remind myself that no matter what is going on, it is truly well with my soul.
After church, Arby's sounded good to me. So that's where we went. I ate half of a Beef and Cheddar sandwich! I also snagged 3 french fries, and about 2 ounces of Ciera's strawberry banana milkshake. Can you believe I ate all that??!?!?!
We came home and this afternoon, I also ate a small bag of Dorito's. I had a pudding snack, and one small piece of pepperoni pizza for lunch.
What is going on with this appetite??? I mean, it's a good thing, but no wonder they can't get my Coumadin levels evened out.
Then, tonight, I went on an ebay book buying spree. I knew that I wanted to buy The Kingdom of the Cults because Meleia has been asking some questions about Scientology (thanks Entertainment Tonight), and I don't remember enough. I also needed a shower chair so that I don't have to stand in the shower. But then, I bought 4 different "Mom's Memories" books. One for each kid. And of course, then I had to buy a pretty blouse I saw. You should always stop me from doing a "Coldwater Creek" search.
I know I've talked about my "Dream Hallucinations" before. But today, I'm having a real problem with them. It's like I'll remember something that didn't happen, but in my mind, it's clear enough for me to talk about it. I've actually cried over it twice today, because it's so wierd. How do I give you an example? OK, the last one. I was sitting in my chair, and was drifting a bit to sleep. The Honda or Mazda "Mr. Opportunity" ad came on. I hate that ad. In my drifting, Mr. Opportunity was shown with a cow selling him milk. NOW, that is NOT what happens in that ad. Meleia asked me why I hated that ad so much (because I usually complain when it comes on), and I said, "Well, for starters, why does he buy milk from a talking cow?" She and Ciera just stared at me for about 3 seconds and then started laughing and said, WHAT? And I said, "wait, what commercial were we just watching?" When they told me, I got really upset. Because as plain as day, there was a cow in that stinkin' commercial in my head. I am having to filter everything that comes out of my mouth because 1/3 of it doesn't make sense. Ugh. I know I'm on a bunch of drugs, and the combination is enough to cause me to have wierd dreams and such. But it's so aggravating!!!
And Ciera has her first cootie of the school year! She called a few friends tonight, and it looks like everyone who was at play practice yesterday morning has the same cootie bug. She aches from head to toe and is running a low grade fever. We wouldn't let her go to church this morning.
Does anyone know how to "care for" fresh peas? Our garden is giving an abundance of peas, and Paul wants them to stay "fresh." I know that before freezing them we need to blanch them, but neither of us knows exactly what that means. Help?
Have a wonderful Labor Day, all!

Toss your peas in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, remove from hot water and place in ice water bath to stop cooking.
"toss you peas" sounds funny doesn't it.
Mr Andrew was asking about you yesterday
Glad you ate so well and went to church. That's as good a medicine as you can get! Hope Ciera feels better soon. Take care and know I'm praying for you!
We have a shower chair in my inlaws garage. Do you want it? I can drive it down your way tomm. since the girls will be gone. I also have a copy of the Kindom Cults book I can loan you also.
