dang
It has just been one of those days, and we really don't have them that often. Few things went right. Glenn and I woke up ticked off. Our communication was strained. We were both frustrated. And the day got worse from there. I couldn't sleep last night thanks to my cold. But I had to work today. Before starting work I had to get moving on 'ordering' my new birth certificate. Which was complicated by the fact that my computer wouldn't start. And that's just stressful, because it has been months since I have backed it up, and I sure didn't want to lose anything. Jonah was being ignored and acting out the stress of it all. Glenn wanted the car today, so getting Jonah out to the car was a butt load of fun (sarcasm) and the drive to work was less than pleasant.
I left Glenn with a huge list of things to accomplish while I was at work today, and he just got home yesterday. That included getting Jonah to the doctor about his breakouts. Which of course, the doctor couldn't really diagnose. Probably allergies... we have to log everything he eats, etc, when he has breakouts and possible triggers. A lot of work. On the bright side, he didn't break out much today!?
My cold has worsened throughout the day and I'm staying up backing up all the data on my computer although I sure should be sleeping.
I misplaced my phone at work today for a full 10 minutes. That was stressful too. Thank you to the stranger out there who turned it in at the desk... not sure where I dropped it. Two kids went home with fevers. One child had so many green boogers just rolling out of her nose all day long that I probably wiped it 100 times, which meant washing my hands that many times too. My hands are crusty. I sure hope I don't get anything besides what I already have! I also nearly locked all my things (wallet, cell phone, etc) into a cupboard including the key for that lock. It would have been bad. Somehow, this little thought crossed my mind as I was about to close the lock, "wait a sec, where is the key to this lock?" A gift from God. I found the key in my bag, retrieved it, and sighed a huge sigh of relief.
No passport today. Once again, all attempts to get through on the phone failed. I'm hoping the birth certificate will be shipped tomorrow, and I don't know how much it's going to cost me for shipping. (I decided to do it on my own, directly, rather that go through a third party internet company... hopefully it pays off in more ways than one!) Pray that the planes flying out of Newfoundland don't have any trouble getting out of there with my birth certificate. Snow, snow, stay away...
Check out Glenn's blog for today's GOOD news! And I'm done my backing up... yay... bed, here I come.

Hey there Sherri! The name's Moo. =D I've been to a tonnnnnn of dh shows(unfortunately I never got the pleasure of meeting you! :() and I'm fairly certain Glenn would remember me... if not tis ok. But anyway... I got the link to your blog from the dh myspace. And after reading it, I'm reminded of a little something we did on the Barlow boards this past month.
Now, I hope I'm no bother but I really feel impressed to share this. Tis ok if you don't read. :-P Well in the beginning of January we started this thing called the 'Garment of Praise' challenge on the Barlow board. (based on Isaiah 61) Basically, it was a challenge to have a good attitude and put on a 'garment of praise' over everything that happened in our lives this month. Now let me tell you... it was NOT easy. Every time things went wrong I wanted to give up. But gradually God began to change my thoughts and my perspectives. And it seemed the more praise I gave Him in spite of the bad things that were going on, the more joyful I was! So I'm definitely NOT criticizing you (I hope you know that is not my intent and if it seems that way I am extremely sorry!)
But I just want to challenge you... On the days that just don't go right; in the situations that seem more than a hassle... put on a garment of praise. Look at the brighter side of it so to speak and see how it will change you. :)
Blessings to you and I'll be praying you get your passport before the cruise!!
