Tuesday Tales

Today was a super busy day. I had a 9:30 doctor's appointment that was supposed to be one of the "easy" appointments, where they weigh you, take your blood pressure, etc. and get you in and out, well after 2 and 1/2 hours I was "in and out." They ended up putting me on a monitor to monitor the baby's heart rate and count his movements. He passed the test with flying colors but after being monitored for 30 minutes they decided that the machine was acting up and they wanted to put me on a different machine to get a better reading. So after 20 more minutes of monitoring, I was finally able to leave. I had planned to get things done during preschool time today thinking my appt. would be a quick one, but instead of having some free time, it was all eaten up at the doctor's office and I ended up being almost 10 minutes late to pick up Emma. I despise wasted time. Yesterday during preschool time someone hacked into my ebay account and bid and won 20 different European auctions for shoes under my name, so I spent the entire 3 hour preschool time dealing with ebay and securing all of my accounts online. I know that Satan is really attacking me in the area of my free time this week. We already had a jammed packed week with two dance classes, Awana, dentist appts for the entire family, my doctor's appt., PTA and book fair meeting at Hannah's school, movie night at church and another meeting Joe has in the morning that he is missing work for, so isn't is just like Satan to steal 5 hours of my free time this week, when I am already rushed trying to get orders out the door before we leave for PA for a week. I despise his conniving ways. I am already edgy with the stress of packing for all of us, decorating early for Christmas and getting orders shipped prior to our trip and he knows how to push my buttons...by stealing my precious time! Please pray that the remainder of our week will go smoothly and that I will get everything accomplished.

On a lighter note, Emma told me today she was going to marry her daddy when she grows up. But, then she remembered there was a law against marrying someone in your family. She then asked if she could marry a girl, to which I replied, no! (Because she likes to play dolls with her girl friends and she doesn't like to play with the boys at preschool!) So, she would have to get a boyfriend. I told her no boyfriends until she was a grown up. She said okay, but when she was a grown up she would kiss her boyfriend. I said, not until your wedding day :) She said, "Okay, but on my marry day I will kiss him, but not until then." Lord, please hear my prayer and keep this idea planted in her heart for Many Many years!

Here is one more picture from our photo shoot on Saturday. Emma always grits her teeth when she is posing. Her natural smile is so precious and full of grace, but this "posed" smile is goofy! None the less, they are both so beautiful in my eyes!
