Diaper In The Washer

did u ever wonder what would happen if one of your disposable diapers got into the washer machine? cleaning up THAT disaster right about now! Didnt even begin to imagine how many little squishy urine soaking-up little bally thingies were in that size 6 diaper untill i had to be out on the deck shaking out that HUGE load of laundry that i cleaverly thought i had gotten out of the way finally...

Thanks ALOT PAMPERS lol


Sun is Finally here- but is it welcome?

We've been moaning and groaning about the weather-how it was cloudy and rainy and for the end of June just not at all acceptable! Finally the sun is here and it actually feels kinda hot! Thats very nice and all cuz we get to finally wear the warm weather clothes that I;ve been scoring at great deals all spring but it seems that the sun is now triggering a migraine for me and some funky weird pressure behind my eyeballs... arg! I would really like to enjoy this weather but if this keeps up I'm gonna be wishing that we go back to clouds and rain! And I know for a fact the rest of us Oregonians are not gonna be pleased about that!


On the same note- did u notice how as soon the weather gets nice there is construction and detours up the wazoo all over town? Considering how small Salem is- its getting pretty annoying to be running circles all over town just to get from point A to point B!

Wake up call- Literally!

Most of the time God talks to us in a gentle voice, in the subtle quiet way... mostly through our conscience, through little hints here and there... but some times He just gets in your face and you know you've got no where to go but to your knees!

We all have our ups and downs and most of the times our inner most issues that we are facing, our temptations and our faults that we battle whether they are big or small are not noticable to our family or friends.

We pray to God for strenght, for that one little jump start to get you out of that rut that you've gotten into but you cant seem to get out. And it seems like every day your praying the same prayer and its going unheard and you cant force your self to change.

For me it has been like this for a little while now untill a few nights ago i woke up with what seemed like a loud pop and a feeling like i got a smack on my forehaed! A shiver went through me and a feeling of fear came over me! I realized- if I were to die right now right here at this moment I might not be saved because i was holding on to a grudge so stubbornly that I had forgetten the reason for my anger! And even though I couldnt rememebr i was holdimg on to that feeling as revenge over that person! I turned over to my husband and I just started bawling! Apologies to him for anything that i've ever done or said, telling him i forgave him for things he may not even be aware of. and Prayer to God for the many many things that i've done to be undeserving of His LOVE! That whole day I prayed, I prayed for God to release my FEAR, release my ANGER, release my CHAINS of UNFORGIVENESS! And the streangth to be the woman HE wants me to be! Some of those prayers were answered almost that very same day- I didnt become this perfect Angel that i would like to be but I did feel that God started to continue his work in me that he started many years ago! This was the EXACT sign and push that i've been praying about and the fact that I woke up in the middle of the night with these unexplainable feelings was a big enough sign for me!!!
I will end this by saying that My Biggest Fear is reflected in this Following verse and I hope that it NEVER applies to me again!:

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked...
