These days everyone thinks chicken pox are like, a death sentence or something. I remember having the wretched little buggers when I was 13. I thought I would die. Not just for the fact I was miserable for about 3 days, but the cosmetic price I had to pay was far worse being a junior higher and all
. BUT I survived and lived to tell about it. 2009 brought our house just such a visitor starting with youngest daughter. I have to TRUTHFULLY admit that it totally threw me off, for about two weeks. I knew it was inevitable that my daily routine would be thrown off for WEEKS to come and I really feared the worst. How totally un trusting of me. I mean hello, did I forget that I have a God to run to in these situations, ESPECIALLY sickness?? After I calmed down and shut up and actually let Him TEACH me through this I realized quite a few things. Jesus is so extremely awesome. He NEVER lets me down. I have to let go of controlling things on a daily basis and He really does work everything out for the GOOD of those who love Him (and I do!) Its now January 26th. We have been in a constant state of chicken pox. I laugh now. Its hilarious really. Its actually been fun, no really FUN, chicken pox parties and all. My dear, ever loving Savior really had mercy on us - Youngest daughter had it the worst - and even the doctor said it was really a light case, and the two boys came down with it within two days of each other, they both had under 20 each - God is SO Good! I think its wonderful - as I feel my spirit swell with emotion (cornball) - I can feel so much love from my Daddy over this - HE IS SO GOOD TO ME - I'm convinced He likes me the best ;)) ...
Heres a pic - my two chicken boys...Whats going on with that face Nursing addict??!!

Just had to throw this one in too, Im DYING of CUTENESS!


I made a lasagna with my spaghetti squash and I got the idea for it here . Oh how I do love Allrecipes, it is "go to" for food inspiration. Especially at 4:30 after schooling and craziness all day and then, SHOOT what AM I going to make for dinner. You have to love it, you probably already do. Anyway, I did alter the recipe alot and finally just made it the way I do my normal lasagna and it was HEAVEN! I think we will even grow the lovelys in our garden next...
