Consider the Ant
A wonderful dream and awaken to start the day mid dream, tired my eyes open and I drag myself up and begin the day.
Last night I really so enjoyed saving Dove's project. She had a map of the U.S to mark cut and assemble.
Lethargy is the mode of late and it is really getting old.
She had asked me to read to her at bed time, requesting the scriptures. Blessed am I that she did so.
They spoke to me as well.
Dash had the need to get help with his room. Today I am home all day. We awoke with ANTS thousands of ants in Dash's room. It is my desire to help him with his room and has been for a while. Those ants were so much more diligent than I.
Today I will be doing his room in fazes. It looks like a killing field in there. WINDEX like "my Big Fat Greek Wedding" (movie) it really is good for everything. So every thing is shaken out and the critters spayed with it as they drop to the floor. I have yet to find the draw. I think he spilled some juice in there.
Inch by inch. Yet this lethargy is a pain! I think the high iron may be like lead in my pants HA!
I love my day, this life for the family. Lunches, ants and breakfasts. Vitamins dolled out and projects loaded onto the school bus. Steve left the sweetest card on the baking counter and a movie called "The Notebook".
It is my birthday today. I am 49 today. Oh where does the time go. Into the embrace of Love and the days of favor and mercy. A life time of trial to mature and refine me. All the dross a gift in itself.
I love my life. I am grateful to have been born, survive and thrive. To live the dream. Motherhood with an amazing mate at my side.
And ants underfoot to remind me of the diligence that has gained me such a reward as this. Debt free as of Tuesday. All medical paid off. The future is promise that despite and even because of every challenge I will still have the mind to thank My God the Lord of all for all that He is in me and for me.
My birth a gift, my life a challenge to keep me striving for more character and humility.
I am blessed.

First of all I wanted to say Happy Birthday to you!! I hope it has been a blessed one.
I also wanted to say that I loved the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" I have teased about that windex for everything - it was so funny in the movie.
Have a great day!

My mother went and had her sleep study done last night. Results are in already. She stopped breathing 38 times an hour and her oxygen was down in the 60's. Explains the headaches and body hurting so much. She goes back in Sunday night for the CPAP fit. Say a prayer for her.
