Welcome to September & Thankful Thursday Sept.2--3, 2010

MORNING SWEET PEAS,

WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER,

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??

IT IS SEPTEMBER ALREADY??

I FEEL A BIT DAZED...... BUT AM INCREDIBLY DELIGHTED
AND FULLOF ANTICIPATION......OF WHAT I'M

NOT QUITE SURE!!  LOL

WE ARE SEEING THOSE LONGER SHADOWS AND
 COOLER MORNINGS ASSOCIATED WITH FALL, AND I

HOPE THE COOLER 71 DEGREE MORNINGS 

 AREN'T JUST A TEMPORARY TEASE.

 WELCOME TO  THANKFUL THURSDAY

A BIT LATE.....

 I KNOW, BUT I WILL EXPLAIN!!

WEDNESDAY EVENING WE WENT TO HELP DEE WITH
 HER MOVING,  AND DIDN'T GET HOME TILL NEAR

MIDNIGHT.  SO THAT WOULD BE PRAISE 

*

#1

I AM THANKFUL

SHE WAS ABLE TO GET APPROVED FOR HER NEW APT.
 ABLE TO MOVE IN SO SOON,  AND THAT WE AND HER
 BOYFRIEND WERE ABLE TO HELP.  SHE IS STILL IN PROCESS
BUT EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS IS THERE NOW.

*

#2

I AM THANKFUL TOO,  THAT HER BROTHER WAS ABLE TO
LOAN HER HIS TRUCK. WHICH HE JUST HAD TO BUY A

 FEW WEEKS AGO, BECAUSE  HE BLEW A HEAD GASKET
ON HIS OTHER TRUCK. SO IT WAS A BLESSING HE HAD A
TRUCK TO LOAN HER OR SHE WOULD HAVE HAD
THE EXPENSE OF RENTING ONE.

*

#3

I AM THANKFUL

THAT SCOTT WAS ABLE TO GET SUCH A GOOD DEAL ON
 HIS NEW TRUCK.   IT IS QUITE A NICE TRUCK, IT'S A
WHITE NISSAN FRONTIER,  AND IT ALSO HAS A/C,
 WHICH IS NICE FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND, CAUSE THEY 

WERE DRIVING HER CAR MOST OF THE  TIME FOR
 THAT REASON. HE BOUGHT IT WHEN HE LIVED IN

KENTUCKY,  AND GUESS YOU DON'T NEED A/C
 THERE AS MUCH.  COURSE, HE USED IT MOSTLY
 FOR WORK WHEN HE LIVED THERE.

*

#4

I AM THANKFUL FOR DENTISTS,  HYGENISTS, AND 

ENDODONTISTS.  YESTERDAY WE BOTH HAD APPTS.
 TO HAVE OUR TEETH CLEANED.  WE EXPECTED TO BE
 THERE AND HOUR OR SO, THEN MAYBE GO WINDOW
 SHOPPING A BIT,  AND RUN TO SAM'S TO PICK 

UP A FEW THINGS.

WELL,  THAT WAS THE BEST LAID PLANS OF MICE AND
 MEN,  IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!  LOL

WE WOUND UP SPENDING MOST OF THE DAY AT
 DENTIST OFFICES. FIRST,  WE GOT OUR CLEANING,

THEN JIM HAD SOME GUM ISSUES THEY WERE
WORKING ON AND WE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THEIR

FOR 2 HOURS.

THE ANTIBIOTICS HASN'T SEEM TO WORK WITH
THIS PIMPLE ON MY GUM,  SO THE DENTIST SAID

HE THOUGHT I NEEDED A ROOT CANAL,  SO I WAS
SET UP FOR AN APPT. AT 2:15 TO GO CHECK THAT
 OUT AT AN ENDODONTIST,   THINKING IT WOULD
 MEAN MORE AND STRONGER ANTIBIOTICS, AND

I WAS THINKING GREAT!!  MY STOMACH JUST
 LOVES ALL THESE ANTIBIOTICS. NEVER THINKING 

THEY WOULD DO A PROCEDURE 

RIGHT THEN.

*

#5

I AM THANKFUL

THEY DID GO AHEAD AND DO THE ROOT CANAL THEN.
  NOT THAT I WAS IN ANY WAY THRILLED ABOUT THAT
 IDEA,  BUT AT LEAST IT IS DONE AND OVER WITH,
 AND REALLY THE WORST PART WAS HAVING TO KEEP

YOUR MOUTH OPEN SO LONG,  AND THE ANTICIPATION
 OF PAIN.  I JUST SANG SONGS WITH JESUS NAME IN

THEM TO MYSELF THE WHOLE TIME.

IT HELPS ME TO RELAX!!

I DO HAVE TO GO BACK FOR A  2ND APPT.  BUT IT
WON'T BE AS SCARY SINCE I HAVE ALREADY

BEEN THROUGH THIS PART.  IT ALSO  HOPEFULLY,MEANS
 I PROBABLY WANT NEED THAT STRONGER ANTIOBIOTIC. 

 HE GAVE ME A RX JUST IN CASE,  BUT FOR NOW I AM
JUST TO FINISH THE ONE I AM ON NOW, AND TO TAKE 

IBUPROPHEN AND TYLENOL FOR  2-3 DAYS.

WE DIDN'T GET HOME TILL ABOUT 5:15 YESTERDAY
AND I WAS NOT FEELING REAL GREAT,  FROM THE

PROCEDURE,  BUT ALSO FROM BEING OVERTIRED
 AND ALSO WE DIDN'T EAT LUNCH,  WE HAD A

SMOOTHIE CAUSE I HAD TO GET SOMETHING QUICK
SO I COULD TAKE MY ANTIOBIOTIC CAUSE  I WAS
OVERDUE,  THEN WE RAN TO SAM'S AND THE REST OF
 OUR LUNCH WAS A FEW OF THEIR SAMPLES,  CAUSE I
 NEVER DREAMED WE WOULD BE AT THE ENDODONTIST
 THE REST OF THE DAY.

LIVE AND LEARN!!  LOL

#6

I AM THANKFUL

FOR QUIZNO'S CHEESY BROCOLI  SOUP.  I WAS
 STARVING BY THE TIME WE GOT OUT OF THERE,  AND 

ALSO NEEDED TO TAKE THE MED THEY GAVE ME,  BUT
NOT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. I HAD ENOUGH NOVACAINE 

(OR WHATEVER THEY USE TO NUMB YOU THESE DAYS)
 IN ME, THAT I THOUGHT IT  WOULD TAKE 3 DAYS TO
WEAR OFF,   NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING MIND YOU,

 CAUSE I AM IN NO WAY FOND OF  PAIN. THEY SAID
 I SHOULD PROBABLY ONLY EAT SOUP UNTIL THE
  NUMBNESS WORE OFF, SO WE RACKED OUR BRAIN
 TRYING TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE COULD
 GET SOME SOUP QUICK,  AND WE REMEMBERED
 QUIZNO'S CHEESY BROCOLI SOUP.

ALL I CAN SAY IT WAS THE BEST, I THINK

I EVER TASTED,  PURE COMFORT FOOD!!

FOOD TASTES SO GOOD WHEN YOU

ARE FEELING BAD AND MEGA HUNGRY!!

#7

I AM THANKFUL

FOR IBUPROPHEN AND TYLENOL,CAUSE I WAS
FEELING RATHER SORE AND MISERABLE WHEN
 I GOT HOME AND THE MEDICINE MADE ME VERY

TIRED, SO I WAS JUST GONNA KICK BACK IN THE
 RECLINER FOR A BIT, THAT WAS ABOUT 6:45 P.M.,
 AND THEN GET UP TO WATCH A MOVIE MAYBE.

 WELL,  I NEVER GOT UP ACCEPT AT 11:00 TO EAT
 AND TAKE MEDS AGAIN, 

 THEN, WENT RIGHT BACK TO SLEEP.

*

#8

I AM THANKFUL

FOR GOD'S WISDOM IN GIVING US RESTORATIVE
SLEEP.  I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AT 5 SOMETHING

FEELING TOTALLY REFRESHED AND GOOD AS NEW,
 ALTHO FAMISHED!! 

 WHICH I FEEL IS A GOOD SIGN TOO,   THAT I AM
 ON THE MEND.

I AM THANKFUL

FOR A KITCHEN, PANTRY AND FRIDGE THAT IS FULL
OF GOOD FOOD TO CHOOSE FROM SINCE I JUST CAME

FROM RAIDING THE KITCHEN BEFORE I STARTED TO
 FINISH THIS POST.

 CHIPS, CUP OF COFFEE AND FIG NEWTON LATER

I AM THANKFUL

FOR A PATIENT AND LOVING HUSBAND.WHO SAT
 AT THE DENTIST OFFICE WAITING FOR ME, (AND
WITH OUT GRUMBLING OR COMPLAINING) HE
 COULD HAVE GONE TO DEE'S (AS SHE LIVES
CLOSE BY) AND FOR HIS BEING A GOOD
CAREGIVER, GETTING ME SOUP,  RUNNING
 TO THE STORE, AND WAKING ME UP AGAIN 

AT 12:30 TO GIVE ME APPLESAUCE AND

 MY ANTIOBIOTICS AND THEN I COULD 

GO RIGHT BACK TO SLEEP AGAIN!! 

 WONDERFUL!!

#11

I AM THANKFUL

THAT GOD PROMISES TO TAKE CARE OF ALL
 OUR NEEDS.  WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF EXTRA
 UN-EXPECTED EXPENSES THESE LAST FEW
 MONTHS WITH CHIROPRACTIC AND DENTAL
 EXPENSES NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE,
 BUT I AM EVER REMINDED OF HOW GOOD
THE LORD HAS BEEN TO US NOW AND  IN
 THE PAST,  WHEN HE WAS LAYED OFF 7 YRS.
 AGO,  AND WHEN HE HAD HIS BYPASS
SURGERY 5 YRS. AGO,  HOW THE LORD MET
ALL OF THOSE NEEDS IN WAYS WE COULD

HAVE NEVER IMAGINED,  AND KNOW

HE WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THIS

AS WELL.

#12

I AM THANKFUL

FOR THE BLESSING OF KNOWING GOD
 AND BEING GOD'S CHILD. HE IS A FOREVER
 FATHER WHO WILL NEVER LEAVE US OR
FORSAKE US,  AND WHO LOVES US,

 UNCONDITIONALLY, BUT WHO WILL

TAKE US WHERE WE DON'T WANT  TO
 GO (THE ROOT CANAL CHAIR) TO PRODUCE
 IN US SOMETHING WE CAN NOT PRODUCE
 ON OUR OWN.

(COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE IN HIM).
