My soul the time sure flies by!
I have a smart phone now - I love the talk to text feature
Chapman is here for a visit
Friday I was told I got to help Amber in HBC at Hy Vee - Micheal M the dairy manager said there was an email that i was not to check but to be Amber's helper. Chad told me today to check because one of the other checkers called in. So I checked and got to stock I really do like that! The time just flies by!
I cleaned out a spot in my stampin room to work on a gift and I have decided that I am going to clean, purge and get the room ready to use once again! I have so many things, stamps, inks, papers punches etc and I am ready to create once again! 8 years is long enough
In the cleaning, I ran across the Kathy Mattea's Good News CD and have been listening to it non stop! Her sweet voice is soothing for my heart.
I have been going through a strange time . . . lots of tears, tons of missing, feeling badly about things, being really happy and blessed, not feeling Christmas this year, excited for Christmas . . . see what I mean? All over the place here! It's all part of life I guess.
It was so great to be back in church yesterday! I have missed 2 weeks due to being gone to basketball tournaments. Hannah had one last Sat but it was here in Hiawatha so not far to go.
Sure has been cold and it snowed huge flakes and a lot coming down. I was glad we didn't get more than we did.
Waiting for some laundry in the dryer then I am heading to bed. Both jobs tomorrow then dinner with Mo, Ben and Liz after Hannah's game at McKinley and sending them off

December 1
I got a text from Kim yesterday wanting to know how I was and when we could get together for coffee or something . . . today Kim, Amy and I met at Hy Vee Market Grill Edgewood to catch up. We had a great time. I miss these girls so much. After working with them for nearly 4 years and now not seeing them or just in passing. Well, it was just what this girl needed!
Home now for the night, I have a load of laundry in the dryer and waiting for project runway to come on
thinking I need to start thinking about packing for Sat night but that can wait!
Feeling a little blue tonight so many changes, nothing stays the same except for God's love and His whole Being! Thank you Lord, that You never change in my ever changing world!

rainy with a little bit of snow Wednesday
well, guess who decided to make bread at 9:00 pm yeah me and guess who needs to be up early for work tomorrow yeah, me oh what was i thinking?
after taking the boys home from church i watched dolly parton christmas it was good i hope there is more to come. at the end she was in dollywood and was talking and singing and to think that dollywood has been threatened and affected by the wild fires makes me sad. the fires have been horrific!
i was blessed so much by the clear presentation of the gospel in dolly's show. i am proud of her for shaing her faith so openly.
lots going on in my life and in the lives of the ones i love the most. so thankful for the gift of prayer to Jesus Christ who can do something about all of it

The Sun!!!
Today was the first day we have seen the sun in many days! Thank you, Lord!!!
Work was fine today, Bryan was Danielle and it was nice catching up with him.
I got a letter written to my folks and in the mail today.
I was the only checker this afternoon - the only scheduled one others were there to check but it was me!
Asa had a game tonight, Colton was so happy to see me! He told me I was the best Gramma ever :) He also told me he lost his paper with God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - so at half time I re wrote the words. He was thrilled. He sang the whole first verse and chorus without looking at the words! I got lots of hugs and holds. Pat O'Donnel was at the game it's the second time we have run into each other at a basketball game.
This is Us - Oh my goodness! That show just gets me more and more drawn in! And now next week is the fall season finale! What the what!?!
I was told by a customer that I am her favorite checker today. That is so nice to hear. She has recently moved to Marion so I don't see her as often. I sure do like my customers.
Heading to bed I am cold and tired. See ya tomorrow

First Sunday In Advent
My eyes flitted open a little after 7 but closed again knowing I had the luxury of staying in bed a few more minutes. The house was quiet so I just enjoyed the warmth and comfort of my bed, knowing soon I would need to get up and shower, make sure Colton was up and fed before church. Right about 7:45 I heard Colton get out of bed so I thought I should get up as well. I bid Colt a good morning, did you sleep well? Fixed him an apple and peanut butter and told him I was going to shower.
During my quiet time Colt was coloring a picture of Noah and when he asked me something about the flood, Holy Spirit opened the door for me to share the gospel with him. What a blessing. At one point I was crying and he told me not to cry but I told him because of Jesus' great sacrifice for me and how much He suffered because of sin . . . Colton's eyes filled with tears that did not fall but I know Holy Spirit was working in his heart. It was a blessed morning for me and this young boy I love so much.
All the way to his house we sang God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen :) I had written the words down on a piece of paper for him and we sang it for his Dad when he answered the door :) All the other kids went home Sat after playing their 'find' the jenga block, playing outside, a rousing game of Pay Day and some chocolate chip cookies. Asa spent the night with Alexandre so it was just me and Colton here. He went to bed easily and I dropped into bed exhausted. It was a good weekend. I missed Jillian and Isaac.
Church was good as usual. I am always so blessed with Kathy K leads. She loves Jesus so much you just can't help but join right in and praise Jesus with her. She really knows how to marry songs together to bring your heart to a place of surrender in worship. Great service. Pastor Aaron's message again one just what I needed to hear.
I came home from church and set about cleaning my living room and even re arranged it. Got if finished so ate some lunch then went to see Sully. What a good movie! Wow. It all happened not too long after Doug died so I don't have a clear memory of it but I do remember seeing a tiny bit of news coverage. It was a really good movie!
Home again now watching the news maybe a movie or maybe bed early. I don't work till 10 tomorrow yippee

Black Friday
Oh how I wanted to stay in bed this morning!
Stuelke boys for the weekend- Xan texted to see if he could come too. Then Hannah, then Alyssa! The Stevens kids both had plans for the weekend or they would be here as well. I am so tired I am hoping I can get these yahoos to bed fairly soon.
Pretty uneventful day at the Y, it was nice to have Sheila come! Nice to have Eric and Bryan there too, it's always so nice when they are there, just to know if I need help with something they are there. Always nice to chat with them and hear what they have been up to.
Today was Norma Zumr's funeral, she was a regular at the Y, I will miss seeing her every week. She was 81.
Hy Vee was busy then slow, busy then slow. Andy had me stocking items in aisle 3 & 4. Sun dried tomatoes, marinades fish and chicken breading. It's always fun to do that plus it helps me know where things are in the store better. I don't have to be back to work till 10 on Monday Yahoo!
Did I mention I was tired? I hope the kids sleep in tomorrow but knowing the boys . . .
I guess I will go and see what else I can do online before I get the kids settled
