I haven't felt well all week long. Its just a common cold, but I think because I ignored it early on and just kept going, going, going... my body is now punishing me and forcing me to slow down. Its the head pressure that gets me the worst. I can't stand feeling like, from my eyebrows up, my head will explode. I don't get sick very often. I think the last time I was sick was sometime last summer, so I feel like because of that, I'm such a baby when I do get sick. I hate taking meds, I hate taking naps in the afternoon and I cannot stand having to slow down and feeling like an invalid. Ha! I just realized why I don't like being pregnant! Too funny.

Anyway, I'm sick. Its the pits, but there is so much to be thankful for. Can't help but think of the people in Chile and other places that are being evacuated due to the earthquake. I have SO much reason to stop complaining about such small things and be thankful, which I am. Very thankful. But I've been praying this week that even in the midst of the BIG trials, that I would still be singing the praises of my great God. He is always good... not just when He's lavishing me with good health and a peaceful life.
I read through some of the Psalms this morning and had to stop and pray through this one. Such a blessing.  

{Psalm 118:28&29} "You are my God and I will give You thanks; You are my God, and I will exalt You. 
Give thanks to the LORD for He is good; His love endures forever."

I am not sure if you are saying you are pregnant... Are you?
I hope you feel better soon. I've got a yucky head thing going on here, too.

No. I said the cold gives me the same symptoms as when I am pregnant... so it helped me realize why I don't like being pregnant.

I've never announced a pregnancy in a super sneaky way and I don't intend to start now :)

Hope you get well soon too!

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be sure to l

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.
