Merry Christmas

I will post more soon but let me just say:
God is good.
Families are Forever.
Faith is real and can bring immense strength.
Angels are everywhere.
And Life is Good!


Merry Christmas!


My eldest is being baptized today. :)
My heart is so full!

Thoughts, thoughts, and more thoughts

• I have had a great time getting ready for Christmas and doing all my shopping, until I ran out of money. CRAP!
• I'm going to have 29 people in and through my house b/w Christmas Eve and Zech's baptism on Sunday. That's alot of people. Do I have enough food? Do I have enough room/ Do I have enough energy? graciousness? patience? (insert prayer here)
• I have contacted all 29 of these people with plans for the weekend which included food assignments, room assignments, festivities and their times. Do you think they have contacted me to let me know Yay or Nay? Thank you Cortnie Johnson for being the ONLY one!!! Ever. To be on top of your game!
• I love Corntie JOhnson. She is OCD like me :) Thank goodness she decided to give Scott a 20th chance (it was about that many right?)
• My house is not ready to house these people yet. It usually is by now. But I have been cleaning my SIL's house, helping watch her kids, working my job, keeping up with my laundry and house and kids, taking meals to people, decorating, entertaining, etc, etc.
• I am in the ugly stage of pregnancy. You know the is-that-a-FLUB-hanging-over-her-pants- or-is-she-preggo? stage. UGH! I am now wearing my "fat" pants. The ones I wear after I have the baby. My belly isn't nice and round yet but I am too big to fit into my nice size 2's I just babrely bought since I was so dang tiny. (Sigh)
• I hate the Wii. Seriously, I HATE the Wii!!! "Why Rebekah? Why do you hate the Wii?" Because even as I type, the darling children are downstairs playing it. After hours of begging to play it on this snow day (the rule is Friday night and Sat only) and having their mean mom say no, I finally broke down and said OK. Now? They are yelling at each other. It never fails. It doesn't matter what game it is. Zech and Gabe yell, Audrey and William whine. I don't know which is worse. Of course the whining gets more on my nerves b/c I'm not used to it and the shear high pitchness of whining drives me insane!!! But no, yelling and whining are both equally as bad. Now I get to be the bad guy and turn it off due to their behavior. See why I hate it now? There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. There might even be a Wii controller thrown by my dear eldest son who has a terrible difficulty controlling his temper. In the which, I will get to ground him from the Wii for the whole weekend which will bring more weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. If it were up to me, I'd throw it in the trash!
• There are about a million other things rolling through my head. The most important of them though is the fact that my dear sweet husband is at work puking his guts out. He can't get home and due to the snow and road conditions, I can't go get him. I have to go figure out what to do. Until I decide to blog again....

Merry Christmas!!!
