Hump day........

Yesterday I felt miserable. I woke up with a  horrible sinus headache, with post nasal drip constantly tickling the back of my throat, and every time I would cough I felt as though my head would explode! I  tried many combinations of remedy with no relief. I even considered just going back to bed. I pushed through and finally about 2 pm I started feeling better. Unfortunately all those meds made me sleepy so I did end up taking a little cat nap before the kids got home from school, hard to believe why anyone would not want an afternoon nap!

On a different note, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that I have developed an allergy/sensitivity to peanut M&Ms, not sure if its the chocolate, peanuts or dye, but most likely the dyes. Good news is I have developed an allergy to  peanut M&Ms. How often is the bad the news also the the good news? I believe we would call this a blessing in disguise.

Today is a new day and thankfully no sinus headache. Yesterday afternoon the two books I order arrived leaving me with the decision of which book to read first? Decisions, decisions. This was difficult, they both intrigued, at least enough to order them.
Wild and Free, by Jess Connolly & Hayley Morgan, who are best friends, caught my attention with the  script just above the title that read "a hope filled anthem for the woman who feels she is both too much and never enough". I guess in someway I felt that I identified with it, so I ordered it. However, I have been awaiting and looking forward to the new release by Lysa TerKeurst's, Uninvited, she and I have some similar life experiences, the kind that can make or break a person, or both, so I chose to read this one first. I have learned over the years the importance of scars. Wounds heal, but the scars remain, not remind us of the pain, but as a reminder that we are stronger than what life throws at us, and if we are willing to, God uses that to make us better, taking all the broken pieces and still make something beautiful. Let me know if any of you are reading either.

Well today is my day 'off' which means clean the house, so I had better skedaddle,  cause it is NOT going to clean its self!

It's hump day and I just want to remind you that it's all down hill from here, the upside of down!!!!
