It's Pouring.....

You know the saying "when it rains, it pours".

Well, we've had quite a downpour lately,

and I'm excited to see the lush, green grass

and beautiful blossoms come soon!

Matthew and I have been dealing with

hang up after hang up the last few days.....

I'm so blessed to have his hand to hold!

The other day, I had a root canal in the morning.

This was actually awesome as I had been in

horrible pain for a couple days.

As the numbing wore off, and the pain from

the procedure started to flare up, I hurried to get dinner going.

Alohi, God love her, was climbing up on top of our table.

In the middle of chopping an onion,

with our "best" knife (because it's the sharpest),

I looked over to Alohi in hopes eye contact would

make her obey, and I sliced my finger open!

I managed to text Matthew with my good hand

"Help!  Need stitches".

He called back right away and I could barely

talk through the tears.

"Honey, it's bad.  I need a doctor."

And the plans of having dinner with a friend

then getting pedicures without our children were slipping away!

Matthew got home and made a few phone calls.

We headed out to urgent care.

The doctor listened as I BEGGED for dermabond

instead of stitches, before he even had a chance to look at the cut.

He really wanted to stitch it, but I think my severely pregnant

state appealed to a huge heap of compassion in his heart.

He glued it!

The next day, my in house accountant noticed

something a little strange with the online banking.

A pending charge for Pro-Active.

Weird, we don't use that.

A little investigation, a visit from the police,

and we are now waiting on the order to fully process

so we can have the address of the darling who

tried to steal from us!

Card is shut down.... not good, as it's our main account right now..... AND

our air conditioning is BUSTED!

This happened last night!

I'm a sweaty mess, so are the children.

Praise God my husband's work is being so awesome.

He is at Lowe's right now, buying a new thermostat

to replace what we're hoping is the problem!

God, thank You for this downpour!

But PLEASE, bring on the flowers!

Oh, and my friend and I enjoyed pedicures before

coming home to an awesome dinner.... onion and all!

Thank you, Matthew, for watching all 9 of our children

so we could go out!

Ok, PS!

That friend that went out for a pedi with me.... she's

the mommy of a blended family with 6 children, and they are

expecting number 7 in just over a month!  Her husband was

supposed to come home from Afghanistan tomorrow morning.

That got cancelled because

HE IS HOME NOW!  I'm so giddy for her!

Their family has been such a blessing to us.

PRAISE YOU FATHER!!!!!!
