I want to show the world!!!

I guess, without boasting, I want to say I am so proud of my knitting. I taught myself how to knit last year around august. I decided to cloth diaper Makanah & found out that wool is a great cover. Now, now, yes I thought wool was terrible, itchy, yucky stuff that I would never want to wear. Boy I couldn't have been more wrong! I'm sure most people think that about wool We remember our moms putting a wool coat on us, or some other wool clothing item that made us very uncomfortable. So uncomfortable in fact that we could think of nothing else but getting that item off of us! Well wool, is not really like that. When it is processed & chemicalized in plants by manufacturer's, it takes on the terrible itchy feel. Alot of untreated wool is very nice & becomes even softer when washed in the right wool wash (NEVER WOOLITE!) or lanolized. Anyway...I'm on a rabbit trail :) So I wanted to learn how to knit. I bought a book and read it. Nope, not me, I'm a visual learner. So I got my pattern & youtubed it! You got it right, where the pattern said K2, I looked it up and found out what it meant & how to do it. So here we are a year later. Want to see what I can do???























And yes there are a few things I didn't take pictures of, I forgot & then they were given away as gifts. The very top photo is 100% Cotton Wash Clothes with handmade soaps as a baby shower gift :)

Firstly I am a child of God, I got that way by repenting of my sins and asking Him to save me, live in my life and heart, and take me to heaven when I died.

Maybe it will save your life or your babys life. Take a minute and read the link to the info I'm posting.

Encouragement without saying a word.

We have these AWESOME neighbors, a couple are crazy but one neighbor we have is just great. I started to clean up the property line between them and us the other day. There was garbage that blew there from the winter, dirt and rocks from plowing, lots of old dead vines and branches, a down fence, well you get the point. So I cleaned alot of it up and raked it all up burning the brush and garbage. We trimmed a few trees. Well our side of the property looked really good. Then yesterday I realized that there side of the property line looks great, they raked and trimmed things up, fixed the fence and it looks awesome. Who knew that encouragement can be done without saying a word :)

Today

Today we got some landscaping timbers set into place and almost finished the back porch floor. We have a long road ahead of us. We intend on finishing the back porch, landscaping, including planting flowers and making flower beds, finishing the siding on the house, adding another porch on the side and cleaning up the inside back porch. This house must sell soon, it is getting small for us. I pray that God leads us in the direction he wants.

My Love :)

Ah my love is 34 today, Yup, 34. We have been together for 15 awesome years and married for 13 years, LUCKY 13 ;) He is the Light of my life, The SunShine when the clouds are over head, The Sugar in my Not Tea that I can't drink, The Beat to the rhythm I walk to, My encouragement to get through life, labor, sickness and more. He's the man that said "It's my fault the mower blades should have been sharpened". He deals with my obsessions, my mood swings and my ugliness to myself. I love him. He is what I wanted all my life, He is my everything. My Love.

And the story of my life goes on, LOL

Last night I was in the hospital! Yup, what a ride. Yesterday I got over zealous and decided that I needed to get off my fat butt and get some exercise, so I thought I would push mow. It started out that I was going to just push mow the front of the house but it looked so darn good that I mowed more and more and more until I had push mowed almost 3/4's of our whole lawn. I was tired a little but I had taken lots of breaks and stayed well hydrated, I know I'm out of shape. After I stopped mowing I had flutters under my breastbone, had a hard time breathing and a ton of pressure on my chest. No pain anywhere but it made me nervous so I called the Dr.'s office and they told me I needed to got to the ER. Well it turns out after 3 hours in the ER and a HORRID drink of Lanicane & Malox that I have extreme Acid Reflux and I had overexerted myself. My male nurse told me I just did this so hubby mows from now on, lol. The funny thing is we have a riding mower in very good running condition but I was to anxious to get my rear in gear. Now I have to be on a diet, YAY. No tea, decaf or caf, it's a total no no. Goodbye to most of my loved food. Maybe now I'll lose some weight, NOT!!!

"Precious"

I'm ready to post this. I was ready from the start but my husband wanted some time to adjust. On January 19th 2010 we found out, quite unexpectedly that we were expecting again :) We actually had been preventing and were very very surprised that the pregnancy test was positive. A few days later I had a "bleeding episode" as I called it. It was a large amount of blood only when I sat on the toilet. It was gone as fast as it came but was enough to start me worrying. I was nervous as I never had any bleeding with the other kids. I was also nervous because according to me charting, I had no clue as to when I got pregnant and I just didn't think it was right. I knew something was off. A few days after that "episode" I had another. Same exact thing as the first. My nurse midwife, said to have bloodwork done was overkill. I totally disagree. I decided to be prepared for the worst and drove to Walmart to buy pads. On February 3 I got really bad terrible cramps and back ache. I started to bleed real bad. My tests got lighter and we lost our baby. I'm glad I know without a doubt that our baby is in heaven. We named our baby Precious.

Its different now :)

Well I have been MIA for a while and there is many reasons why. Let me tell you. A few months ago we got the stomach virus and we got it bad. For days we threw up, I mean power chucked and dry heaved. Then we never felt good for weeks after. I really never felt right after being sick. So I still had some stomach trouble. Then I started getting this really bad chest pain. I was afraid. I was so scared when it would happen that I thought I was going to die. A few times I was in pain and I was worrying so much that I puked and got panic attacks. I was really losing my mind. Well it just was getting worse. I would be in the store and feel even just a little pain and think here we go again, then I would have a massive panic attack. Heart palpitations, stomach pain, numb extremities, feeling of passing out and way more. I decided that it might be reflux so I put myself on omeprizole 20mg. Finally after Christmas the crap hit the fan. One day I just started panicking for no reason at all. I kept feeling like bad things were going to happen. I ended up in the hospital on Dec 29th. I tried desperately to describe what I was thinking how I was feeling and wondering if I was sane anymore. They gave me a Valium 5mg (wow how relaxing was that!) and ran some BW. Dr was thinking it was PPD, after he asked how old M was he decided it wasn’t (hind sight 20/20, I’m almost sure some of it was). Arthur was there talking with me and I was telling him all my fears. Finally after searching my heart I found out my biggest problem. I was not sure of my salvation. I had been lieing to myself for years and my pride was overcoming me. I cried out to God and asked him to forgive me for the things I had done and my pride, That night I gave him my life and I never want it to change. I went from having to control everything and worrying if I couldn’t to letting God have the control. I don’t have to carry all the burdens anymore. I can read my Bible now with an understanding and I am sure that when I die I will be in heaven with my savior. I was discharge from the Hospital and was told that I should take 5-10 mg Valium every 4-6 hours as needed. I have done a lot of praying and I have read my Bible every day. I am happy to say that God has taken a lot of the anxiety from me. Some days I have to just give my worries to God. I have been doing a lot more with my Hubby and family and am so happy to be with them. I gave God all the anger that I was carrying, toward anyone and everyone. I don’t want to be angry, upset, worried anymore and with God’s help I won’t be. I have only had to take 1 pill since being in the hospital and that was 2 days later. I have had nothing since. Praise God. I went to my Dr last week and he went over my issues. He said my BW said that my thyroid was off and my potassium was low. I have more BW to do at the end of the month. He wants to check my thyroid again. Also said that some might be slight PPD and anxiety. He also said that he is sure I have reflux issues and put me on 40mg of Omeprizole , 1000 Omega 3, Super B complex vitamins and multi vit every day. The reflux meds he said I should be able to wean off in a few months, I may have done damage to my stomach when I was throwing up so hard. I have to see him in 4 weeks. I really feel almost back to normal but very much better. I told my Dr about getting saved and he said getting that straightened out with God was a great thing and that can only help. He said that I am not losing my mind and I can get past this. He was also encouraging to have more kids if we wish and I thought that I would never have anymore because of these problems. So I have been doing a lot more, Getting out of the house, taking my vitamins, praying, reading my Bible, cooking, cleaning. Trying not to feel UN-important.
