Yes-- that was on our TO DO LIST today-- to go to Friendlies and have thier CROWD PLEASER SUNDAE!!!   

Why?  Well because Zachary finished his 1st Grade Math book--  (we like to push it to the VERY END--because looking back our last SUNDAE trip for completing our Kindergarten Math Book was July 28, 07)--  so as soon as his 2nd grade book arrives--he'll begin-- until then he has a FEW MATH FREE DAYS!!      The other good news--  Joshua only has about 15 lessons left in HIS math book!! 

Then a quick trip to Walmart  -- to pick up some plastic totes-- small ones-- like Milk Crates-- WHY?  Because I am so embarassed to open my CHEST FREEZER-- it is/was a DISASTER!!  We have been so blessed--but things were just such a mess in there!!    Not anymore-- it is all nicely organized--  Beef/Chicken/Turkey/ Vegetables etc....   VERY NICE!!    What brought this on??  Some may say nesting-- but really-- right now my "ball" that is not in the air (I always picture myself as a juggler-- and there are usually a few balls up in the air...but there are always a few on the ground too-- my goal= get them all in the air) is our MEALS!!   I have been failing miserably in meal planning and preparation!!  There is no reason-- other than laziness-- I have stocked freezer and cupboards---I just need to get things ORGANZIED and listed-- so NOW I KNOW what I have!!

Well tomorrow is an OB appointment-- should be a "normal" WEEKLYappointment-- they may have more information about our previous ultra sound-- we'll see?!?

I love your blog - do not get me wrong. There are so so many things that you say that really speak to me! It upsets me though to hear you talk about being a Christian and all yet not caring for one of God's most awesome creatures, your stray cat and kittens. No matter if you were scared of her - couldn't you help her? Don't you know God cares for her and we are not only put on this earth to care for humans, we are also to care for all of God's creatures which includes animals. I'm so glad your neighbor took her - I wish she'd done that ages ago! I think you need to understand that the homeless cat didn't become homeless on PURPOSE like some stupid humans do. She became homeless due to the neglect of a stupid HUMAN. We all need to be responsible and fix that problem. Not figure that someone else will do it!
