moments in time...

Hello :)

I am stealing a moment away from the chaos here,

Truth be told I am sitting down with the newest edition of

House Beautiful & a Mocha Bianca & since I absolutely

can NOT multi-task I am completely in my “free” moment

& NOT noticing the state of disaster all around me

{including the sounds of destruction coming from Mr. T’s bedroom}

Crazy thing is –Is if I DID hear them, I REALLY wouldn’t worry…

I mean Miss Grace is downstairs doing school & Mr. T is on

the floor at my feet quietly playing with his tractors, so…

that only leaves little a…..yep…..

too bad I don’t hear a thing…

{we ran out of bibs for this little drooler so we improvised;)}

Yesterday little a. had his first dr. app. Here in the States

{it was just a regular check-up- or so I thought

You know height, weight & ears & etc..}

Unfortunately I thought wrong , apparently there is an

outbreak of measles in our state & my pediatrician wasn’t overly

comfortable letting us leave w/out little a. getting his MMR

{& although I don’t have an issue w/ vaccinations I realized it

Is a little different {scary} NOT knowing your childs history

& getting them vaccinated!} I whispered a little prayer &

He got poked:/ . Then dear dr. informed me that she wanted

us to head directly to hosp. {pediatric unit} for {routine} bloodwork.

Well I am a bit bothered by blood… {as in wind up on the floor passed out bothered ;)}

Thankfully the accountant met us & He held little a.& they dealt with

The nasties together…

Only one of them screamed :/.

Then the accountant further earned his title

{as my beloved one ;)} when he offered to take little a.

home & stop & pick up the other 2 littles from Gma.s!

So I could go get groceries!

Oh my goodness!

Pure delight!

{I may have or may not have even called a friend that I knew was in town &

had an impromptu revival in the Target parking lot :)}

Praising HIM for dear friends!

1 secret- if you have to get groceries- head for Target :)

{It is almost always works as therapy for me ;)}

Anyhoo I had a mighty fine “break” & came home with

fresh flowers, a couple new decorating magazines :) &

a renewed spirit!

{thank you my dear friend!}

The renewed spirit lasted until this morning :/…

When little a.'s oatmeal got spit on the wall

& the dr. called to say that unfortunately they didn’t

get enough blood drawn yesterday & we need to come

back in.

yep…

I am thoroughly enjoying my “free” moment :)

right now…

Except for the destructive sounds are becoming harder

& harder not to hear! Thankfully when all around me is

chaos & I have NOT a moment to steal away I will dwell

on this song…

Glory Hallelujah, I shall not be moved,

Anchored in Jehovah I shall not be moved,

Though the tempest rages, I shall not be moved

On the Rock of Ages, I shall not be moved….

{I am only praying that this song is not his mantra too-

 by the looks of the above picture, I wonder:)}

Because really no matter what my day looks like

I still have these sweet black eyes peeking at me

{not to mention a head of glossy black hair & impish grin!}

Ahh… it is worth ALL THIS my friends!

{but prayers are still appreciated ;)}

--Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed

On thee: because he trusteth in Thee Isaiah 26:3--
