Getting the Ark ready!

WOW it has been raining non stop here....ok I love rain but today I started wondering if there was a hurricane coming and I just hadn't been watching the news....  LOL  I only say that because....that happened to me before!!  The year Sam was born, we had so many hurricanes, direct hit ones, and for the last one ( the worst one for us) I totally zoned out and didn't know until just a few hours before it hit....no lie...  But hey things were just about as crazy as they are now, Sam was a very sick baby!!!  That was a RUDE awakening for me!!!  We ended up living in the adminstrion building at the prison for over a week  since we didn't have electrify and Sam was on a monitor 24/7...fun times....  Anyhow we are going to have a lot of rain for the next few days.  I went to the thrift store and bought me some books to read, nothing like a rainy day and a book.

Last night I had to get up with Selah a few times, and by the third night (we don't have nursing Fri-Sun night) I was beat.  I think the last time I got up with her, I changed her with my eyes closed....no lie.  She has still had a little higher heart rate, but she seems ok.  She still seems more alert for the most part.  Last night she was probably more alert than me!  So this morning I got up about 8:30 and stumbled in her room (our nurse was there by then)  and I'm in my robe, bleary eyed and there is the nursing supervisor and a new worker...LOL  then the Physical Therapist got here, at that point I just took off for the shower.  I had no pride left LOL  The kids also had Occupational therapy today and she worked on EATING...so that means she feed Sam and Sarah !  WOOHOO:)   I told her she was welcomed to come every day and work with them!!!

I cooked today used my 3 crock pot...it's one machine with 3 crock pots in it....I did a chili and a hot nacho cheese and ham & beans , everyone is happy:) 
 
Yesterday I made chicken noodle soup and it was soooo good.  I think the secret is to use a couple of cans of cream of chicken soup.  Tomorrow I already have the meat cooked for spaghetti:)  We ae only using ground chicken now, very low fat and I get the kind that is grass fed/free range/no antibodics...  I try and keep us healthy.  Then on Wednesday I'm doing a roast.  YUM!  I love having the meals planned out
 
 
Please keep praying for Selah.  We appreciate the prayers!!!

  1. Yup, at least having the ingredients for 4 or 5 meals a week makes life so much easier! A silly little sense of accomplishment comes from at least having menu and groceries covered for the week... Keeping on praying for you and your family, Yvonne. BTW, how did the garage sale go?
