Family Fast

Most of you know that Liam was born with a rare blood disorder called Mastocytosis. It's a very itchy and uncomfortable disease. He has had many blessings that have promised his recovery in the future. Lately, the disease has flared up and seems to be more itchy and is causing other problems. (He's been waking up 3 to 5 times a night.) As we have thought about it, Jason and I have been prompted that it is time to ask for a healing. We will be fasting for him the first Sunday in February (the 3rd). We would like to invite anyone willing, to join us. We'll break the fast around 5:00 pm our time. Thanks so much for any support!

They Love Me, They Really Love Me!

I have been Tagged!!!!

I always enjoy reading others interesting (and embarrassing) idiosyncrasies. Now that it's my turn, I'm stumped! Here is the stuff I came up with.

1. You know how some people wish they could "go back and do it again with all that they know now"? You couldn't pay me enough to re-do Jr. High.

2. If I could do anything in the world right now, I would hop on a plane for a 3 week vacation in Scotland. (Does anyone want to come as my nanny?)

3. I watch "Matlock" almost every single weekday. Ridiculous. I know how every episode ends. I could probably plot a murder and pull it off from all I've learned not to do on that show.

4. I have to close my closet door every night before going to sleep. I've even got Jason trained to get out of bed and close it before I ask.

5. When I was little, I watched a vampire movie (when I should have been in bed asleep) that really freaked me out. For years I slept with my hair around my neck. Even after the horror faded, I slept with my hair around my neck to keep me warm. Can you guess why it took me so long to start "Twilight"? I still hate scary movies. I won't watch them.

6. My most embarrassing moment involves my brother, a HUGE group of boys (including the current crush), and a story about my first driving lesson...

7. I LOVE labor and delivery. I like hospital food. I would stay in the hospital for a week after having a baby if they would let me. Where else do they bring all your meals on a tray, clean up after you, take the baby when they cry (if you can part with him), and change your sheets?

This is fun! I tag Kristen, Amy, Mom, Carly, Tiffany, Natalie, and Nora. Write 7 things about yourself that you can stand to share with the world and then tag 7 others.

Ammendment

I'm generally a sane person, but every once in a while, I go crazy. I'm sure someone out there somewhere can relate. Anyway I've been informed that my post "To the World...Just so you know" sounded a little....well you know. I didn't write it in response to any one comment or offense taken. I just meant it in response to my being cooped up all day in a small condo with 4 small children. We have wonderful neighbors but I just can't keep my kids silent all day anymore. And if I go to the grocery store, that's a treat for the kids. I'm not going to tape them to the cart and wire their mouths shut. You know? So if you work at Walmart or Maceys on Thursdays between 10 & 11 watch out. We're coming. Um...Hi. My name is Michelle and I have active kids.

My Quarter Life Crisis

I refuse to believe that I had a mid-life crisis since the average life expectancy is MUCH higher than 60. However, I have resigned myself to the fact that I did in fact have A crisis. I call it my quarter life crisis, because I plan to live to be 120 years old (you can quote me on that).

As part of my new vitality for life I bought a VERY COOL yet impractical car about a year ago. I love this car. This is the kind of car that every guy wants (from my generation) whether he's man enough to admit it or not. I am comfortable enough with myself to admit that whenever I drive it somewhere, I turn and look at it as I walk away (every time).

It could be an obsession, but it doesn't matter anymore because I have finally come to terms with the fact that I must part with it to another worthy owner. I have included some photos so that we may together mourn its passing.

I LOVE MY JANEY

Little miss Jane is one of my favorite people. Why? Here's a list:

1. She always wants to hug and love everyone around her.

2. She has a very cute, contagious giggle.

3. She makes up her own worlds full of friends instead of waiting for them to come to her.

4. She is sensitive to others feelings

5. She smiles A LOT which makes me smile.

I love you Janey!
