Sickies

I have been sick the past 24 hours and not happy about it.  I usually push through the colds and the pains, but today, I have been feeling nauseous and just down right blah.  I haven't eaten anything in 24 hours, and if you know me, this comes as a shocker because I ALWAYS am eating, no matter how I am feeling.  But lately, the eating causes an awful twinge in my stomach which makes me not want to eat anything.  Hubby thinks the pain is coming from being so hungry my stomach doesn't know what to do with the food.  I disagree.  I am not feeling so well that I skipped eating at the cook-off we went to last night.  That's how I know I am not feeling well.  I hope that it goes away soon, but I think today is going to be a lazy day with the kids...

Tornado

That's my daughter.  I didn't know forgot a kid could be so destructive.  Its like every room I am picking up after her, she's in the next destroying it.  Oh, and her new thing is to close doors with her in the room.  Which means she is {not so}secretly behind doors destroying a room.  This usually occurs when I am in the shower or cooking dinner and at a point where I can't stop to chase her.  This makes it much worse!  My house is always a disaster and my sanity is dwindling.  I am praying that the week between Christmas and New Years will be my time to catch up.  Greg will be home, I will only have the boys one day.  All this being said, I can kick my loved ones out for a much needed R&R in cleaning!  :)

Give to Cliff *EDITED*

Want to give this holiday season but haven't thought of anything?  Check out my side bar and give to Cliff.  I want to adopt him.  Really, I do.  But Greg told me I need to get a hobby other than wanting to adopt babies. I will work on him.  But until I can get him to say yes, my hobby is to get my readers to give to Cliff.  Your money will go straight to his one day adoptive family.  To read more on this adorable baby, go here.

* So Greg thinks my heart is way bigger than my head.  Which is SOOO true.  I am so adamant about adopting a special needs child.  I am not sure why, but God has laid that heavily on my heart.  I know that having a special needs child means you need to have the finances to support that child.  Greg, my "head", makes a good point in saying that he doesn't want to bring such a child into a home that can not guarantee financial stability for the things he/she needs.  So, its something I am going to pray about and until our time is right, pray that many people open up their hearts and give to Cliff and/or Reece's Rainbow.  Edit over. :)*
