Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

     Wow, what a weekend.  It has been so cold that I wish I could tie blankets around me & still be able to walk around.  I was hoping to spend a lot of time lying around reading because I never get to do that, but other things kept coming up.  I did start a new book that I am really enjoying so far, "Why I Stayed" by Gayle Haggard.  My best friend told me about it & it is a good story.  This woman has a lot more courage than I think I would have had in her situation.  I can't imagine having my world turned upside down like that & still try to follow God's principles.  I know that I would strive to, but I would have a harder time with my emotions -especially anger!  Anyways - it is a good read & I recommend it to every woman of God.
     Well we started potty training my 2-year old.  That is mainly why I couldn't lay around all weekend.  He only has ten pair of underwear & I had to keep the laundry rotating for "fresh briches"....hehe.  On top of that, my husband had to go to Walmart to buy a quick wet mop so we could mop up after every accident.  Hard wood floors are easier to clean up spills than on carpet, but I was not willing to get the mop bucket out every 15 minutes.  I also have to make sure to get the smell out so our precious dogs would not try to out do our 2-year old, if you know what I mean.  One of the dogs is 100 pounds & can probably fill a bath tub!!!
     We found out last week about the sex of our new baby.  It is definiely a boy.....he was so proud of his stuff already that the nurse was able to get 3 or 4 pictures of his "junk".  So I guess I will remain the only girl/woman in my house.  My husband knew how disappointed I was & later that night let me know that he is willing to try again later if I want.  I thought - "Are you crazy!"  What if I end up with 5 boys!  No Way Jose!  4 is enough to last me a lifetime & I believe it will....  Well, yes, I was very upset & had to allow my emotions some time to spill (& spill they did).  I cried like a heart-broken toddler for many hours....but now I'm better.  The way I look at it now is that our world needs good men for the next generations to come & apparently, God trusts me to raise such men.  It is a high calling that some can't handle, but I will do my best to try.
    Well I must run now....to the bathroom every 15 min, if not for my training toddler but for my pregnant self....try to post again soon...
