TGIF? I don't think so!

Okay, too many more Friday afternoons like this one and I'm boycotting Fridays from here on out! We just got back from the clinic. Mark is sporting 2 shiny new stitches in his right hand. Remodeling strikes again. Oh well, he won't need another tetanus shot for 10 years.
On another note, yesterday when I was having a bad attitude about work and life in general, God brought to mind, "WHATEVER you do, in thought, word or DEED, do ALL to the glory of God." So there I was, cleaning up after those who had cooked before me at work (I'm work in a school kitchen, low man on the totem pole, so it's my lot to clean up the messes most days, although one day I do get to make them myself...) and I'm thinking, ugh, right, and wondering if there will be dirty dishes in heaven. I'm sort of thinking there might be, what with a banquet going on and all. So I got over it, and moved on with life.
So there it is. Another slice of life.

Hee-hee

Wow, again...

Okay, so I have this counter on my blog which tells me where in the world people who visit my blog are from. Some come up as "unknown," but I think I have those pretty much pegged as from my parents. Don't know how they're listed as "unknown" but oh well. There are others that interest me, though. Like there's someone from Englewood, CO who's been on from time to time, not to mention those who flip through and spend no time, because apparently I'm dull and not interesting enough for some international person to take note of me. Whatever.
I just mention it because I find it intriguing to see where in the world there are people sitting by their computers and happen to stop by to visit little old me. That's all.

Fearfully and wonderfully made

No matter how you put it, God made the human body quite amazing. I think it takes more faith to believe in evolution than intelligent design! I received the following in an email, and thought I'd put it here for your enjoyment and amazement...

Human Body Facts

The human body is a machine that is full of wonder. This collection of human body facts will leave you wondering why in the heck we were designed the way we were.

• The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm.
• You use 200 muscles to take one step.
• The average woman is 5 inches shorter than the average man.
• Your big toes have two bones each while the rest have three.
• A pair of human feet contain 250,000 sweat glands.
• A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball.
• The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razor blades.
• The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
• It takes the food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach.
• The average human dream lasts 2-3 seconds
• Men without hair on their chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver than men with hair.
• At the moment of conception, you spent about half an hour as a single cell.
• There is about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.

(Now I KNOW you are placing your thumb on your NOSE, aren't you?)

Quite something, isn't it? You are NOT an accident!

Sinking

Here I am, on the verge of tears and feeling quite hopeless. I hate this feeling. MOney is too tight, job is too uncertain, and my husband is down, too. God is refining me, I can feel it, but I'm still in tough shape.

Okay, maybe not

The official word from the radiologist is that there is no break... So I took off the splint. It's still sore for her, but we'll ice it yet and perhaps wrap it with the ACE bandage. Perhaps it's just a bad bruise. Let's hope it feels much better by morning!

Busted!

At least we think it is. The radiologist will have to let us know for sure. Leah injured her thumb on the playground yesterday, and though it was all an accident, I think the other kid feels pretty bad, she's a good friend and they were having a lot of fun! Anyway, after "stablizing" it overnight with a small splint we had in the house and giving pain meds so she could sleep, this morning the thumb still looked pretty bad and felt bad, too. Bumping it was misery for her. So off to the urgent care clinic we went this morning for a routine x-ray and examination. Sure enough, the doctor on duty saw something, even though it was aligned good, he made a splint for her and sent us on our way. They'll call Monday with the official result. Sigh. Perhaps we'll make our deductible this year after all. Thankfully, with the splint on she seems in much less pain, so it is all worth it. I hate it when my kids hurt.

On another note, Hannah's first drill team performance was last night at the football game. They did a good job after only 3 weeks of practice! It was a lot of fun to watch.
