Not Me Monday!!!
This one could be VERY long but I won't bore you with a lot of details.....HAHAHAHA
Here we go.
I DID NOT allow my little one to have a black fine point pen and a journal.
< href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj31HZms-F8PPw7LPuGu6BbuPvjdk2CvYo8UvFKRZ0uhADuTRBd8hO-XwXup7YBHBP0QokIu_Tiv4CewrrRnNrsgEy_s09XdRJNlxi-fJ23Ma6rRKMhlc0jMaZa7a4aZP4Uxw4a9iyJAM8/s1600-h/100_0448.JPG">
I DID NOT let him continue to do so while I ran and got the camera so I could have pictures for today.
Oh, and remember last weeks post about our toilet. Yes, the bathroom is STILL CLOSED but we have purchased new flooring.
I DID NOT once again run to get the camera to take the next 2 pictures. They were truly MUST HAVE's for Not Me Monday.
I will keep you posted on the progress of the bathroom. The new floor is going to be AWESOME!!!!!!Laboring With You,

Thoughtful Thursday!!!!!
Good Morning!!!!!
Wow, what a week it has been. I am just blown away and once again, the Lord never ceases to amaze me. I'm overwhelmed at times and just have to stand and be speechless because there are no words to express what I am thinking and feeling.
This week really kind of started last Saturday. I went to a luncheon of some friends that are getting married. The really cool thing is that I know both of them seperately and now they are getting married. They have both been through so much over the past years and to see them together on Saturday just blessed me beyond!!! They remind me of a couple that is about 20 and are giddy, excited, hand-holding, smiling ALL the time and counting down days, hours, minutes and wouldn't be surprised if seconds are in there to. A true marriage made by the Creator!!!!!
Then we go to church on Sunday. We are so heavely blessed with children in our church. Anyone from the age of birth all the way through the Seniors in high school. There is a board that was posted with all of the vacancies in the Sunday School times. I have stopped and pondered the board every Sunday since they put it up. I finally wrote my name on the sheet that stated you would be interested or would want to work. I said nothing to no one. Not even my husband. Just really struggling with leaving my Sunday School class full of precious women that I love dearly. The phone rings Sunday evening and it's a friend from church and he talks to Bo and asks him if we would be interested in teaching the upcoming year. I could do nothing but be completely blown away. We are still praying over it and will hopefully nail that down soon.
Doula Duties. Well, they have been kind of quiet. I have had 2 deliveries and will be making the home visits not this Saturday but probably the next. I will get their permission and see if I can post some pictures. They were precious. I still have the one for September and the Lord has just really opened the flood gates. I now have one for September, October, November and December, January, February, and March. Then I got a call from someone yesterday who saw my flyer......WOW is the only thing I can say. It is just such a humbling experience to be asked to come in and share such a time with a couple. I just have to stand in awe!!!!
Last Sunday, we heard a sermon that really hit me. To know God. I don't mean just to be able to quote scripture and verse and have just head knowledge. I mean KNOW HIM personally and intimately. Do I recognize when I see Him at work? Do I hear Him when He speaks to me? Am I walking with Him or am I in front or behind Him? When I started this Doula business, it was truly from Him. He has designed it and He knows what I need and when. I have watched Him work in ways that I can't put into words and it just awesome. "Doula" comes from a Greek word meaning "servant". That is what I am to these women and these families. I also am a servant of HIS!!! That is first and foremost. Who or what are you a servant of today? Your job? Your family? Your children's activities? Your hobby? I could go on and on but I have to close for now.
I pray that you KNOW HIM!!!!! If not, please leave a comment, send me an e-mail and let me show you how!!!!! Have an awesome day!!!!! See you tomorrow for FLASHBACK FRIDAY!!!!!!

This is a little difficult to share today because it is really hard to narrow it down. Kaleb talks ALL the time.
Kaleb loves his cars but we seem to be moving to blocks at present. We have spent the last 2 nights for at least 30-45 minutes playing with the big chunky lego's.
This is typically how the conversation goes while we are playing blocks.
Kaleb: Play blocks mommie?
Me: Yes, let's go play with blocks.
Kaleb: Sit down NOW!!!!!!
Me: Kaleb, we ask "Please sit down"
Kaleb: Peas sit down NOW!!!!!
Me: Ok, close enough
Kaleb: Build a tower
Me: Ok----we build a tower and actually the tower was taller that him. He talks up a storm the entire time he is building. Talking about colors and different size blocks and it is just non-stop.
FINALLY- The tower is as tall as it can be and
Me: Maybe we should call Daddy to come and see your tower
Kaleb: Da-e (yes, he says it with an "e" not a "dy")
Kaleb: Da-e, come he-are (here is a 2 sylabil word)
Kaleb Da-e
Finally in frustration because Da-e is not getting there fast enough he changes to
Kaleb- BO!!!!
Kaleb- BO!!!!
Cracks us up. If you will not come when I call you Da-e, I'll call you by your name!!!!!
Me: No, call Daddy, not Bo
Kaleb: BO!!!!!
Daddy appears and has the camera to take the pictures of the tower before CRASH!!!!! it falls to the ground!!!!!
He is to funny and sooooooo sweet!!!!!!!! We have pictures, I will try and get them added. I didn't get a chance to get them on here. Be sure to check back.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Thoughtful Thursday is tomorrow,,,,,,,,,,,check in again!!!!!!!

Not My Child Monday!!
"NOT MY CHILD MONDAY"
My youngest child DID NOT place a rather large Matchbox Truck in the toilet and yell "Oh No".
My youngest child DID NOT proceed to flush the toilet once while Mommy was on her way to the bathroom to see what the "Oh No" was about.
My youngest DID NOT flush the toilet again while Mommy went to get something to get said truck out of the toilet.
My youngest DID NOT proceed to ask 1000 times "where did truck go?" when he could no longer see it.
My response to him DID NOT sound like one of his favorite movies named Nemo
"Honey, the truck went out to the ocean"
To say the least, the bathroom is presently "CLOSED" until the toilet has been removed from the floor and hopefully the truck will be found.
The first thing my husband said was "Well, what is that blog about "Not My Child Monday"? I think you have your blog post" No doubt about that. The above mentioned bathroom's toilet is still closed at present.....working on trying to remove the truck without having to remove the toilet.
Toilet did have to be removed. We have now decided to go ahead and replace the flooring before we put it back. Truck was found. Kaleb was most happy!!!!!
