Sunday Sing-Along

I listen to this song on one of my i-Worship Cd's just about every time I'm in the shower. It's pretty funny that my best worship time seems to come when I'm in the shower! LOL! I guess it's because that's about the only time I have to myself. I close the door, pull myself onto my shower seat, and just soak in the worship music while soaking myself in lots of suds. I take really long showers now, and it's easy to blame on my new disability. The truth, however, is that I'm just truly enjoying that time with God. I can pray and cry and laugh, and there is no one around to judge me. It's the one time that I don't mind all the noise coming from Gidget and her daddy playing Wii! (It's actually not the noise they make, but rather the video games they play.) It's a "win, win" situation. They get to have fun, and I get some time alone with God. Plus, I come out spiritually refreshed... and I smell better, too!

Another Downside

Okay, the other downside of which I have just become aware is the fact that when you say the word "print" it actually does just that!!! I was leaving the room and realized the floor was covered with papers where the printer had printed everything I was saying! UGH!!! Oh well. At least now Gidget as scrap paper for school. :-)

The Downside

Okay, so I am getting used to this new program. I really love it. It has some issues, but what program doesn't! At least I am now able to get outside my own brain and put things down on my blog or an e-mail!

The downside of this program is that there is no privacy whatsoever! LOL! It seems like every single time I sit down to dictate something, little ears prick up and suddenly become interested in what I have to say. Note that this is directly the opposite of what goes on during homeschooling. During that time, nothing I have to say seems of interest to her. Maybe I should put on my headset and dictate her lessons to the computer. Hmmm. I'm going to have to give this some thought...

Friday Fill-Ins #126

1. It's cold and windy, but there's lots of sunshine!
2. I love growing and eating my own tomatoes. (sure miss doing that)
3. My favorite health and beauty product is Bath and Body Works Body Butter (in Butterfly Flowers scent)
4. The drive to Disney World is a nice long ride. (But so worth it!!!)
5. "Well, first of all" is usually the way that my daughter began a long list of explanations as to why she did or did not do something.
6. Harrison Ford, my husband, Gidget, me, and President George W. Bush; those were the cast of characters in a recent dream and it was freaky, to say the least! (No, don't ask, because I won't tell!!)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to my sweetheart of a husband coming home, tomorrow my plans include trying to organize my mind, and Sunday, I want to go a whole day without hearing the "bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep..." sound of the Star Wars Legos Wii game!

World MS Day

Please pray for a cure!

Ten On Tuesdays

10 Celebrities I'm tired of (in no particular order):

1. Angelina Jolie - she breaks up a marriage, marries the guy, adopts a bunch of kids (or should I say bought a bunch of kids), and our country applauds her. Good grief! (I should add here that I myself have adopted. I have nothing against adoption. I just feel that celebrities get a lot of breaks because they are rich. Plus, I think if you really want children, you should take the time to raise them yourself instead of hiring someone to do it for you. Just my personal opinion.)
2. Donald Trump
3. Octo-Mom (somebody stop this woman, PLEASE!!!)
4. Jon & Kate
5. That girl who The Bachelor changed his mind about and then she went on Dancing with the Stars and was getting all this sympathy. I mean, BOO-HOO! Seriously! Do you really think that's the way to find true love in the first place? And why is everybody feeling so sorry for her?
6. Adam Lambert
7. Miley Cyrus - not exactly the role model I want for my daughter!!!
8. Sarah Jessica Parker
9. Michael Jackson
10. Paris Hilton

So, I don't really watch the TV shows that these people are on. I just get really sick of hearing their names constantly. I realize that this post seems very judgmental. Sorry if I offend anyone.

Sunday Sing-Along

Really think about it...it blows my mind!

So Cool!

I am so excited! I have a new program for my computer that types what I say! It is very exciting to be able to actually use the computer again in this way. I have to say though, it's very strange talking to myself. LOL! It's a good thing that my family is out right now or else they would think I am crazy.

I am typing this in Word and I am hoping that it will copy over into my blog without many problems. I guess we'll see.

So much has been going on in my life and I have wanted to blog about it, but being unable to type was a major obstacle. After I have learned to use this new voice program better I plan on posting a lot more on my blog.

I am going to play with this probably all weekend. It's supposed to be rainy and humid, so it seems like a great time to stay inside.

I do have a funny story to tell you. I have been having balance issues lately. MS is notorious for that such thing. The other day I got up and went to use the bathroom. It was about 5:30 AM. My husband had already left for work. Gidget had crawled into bed with me. This is a normal thing for her. As soon as she hears her daddy leave, she heads straight for my bed.

So anyway, I make it to the bathroom just fine. Remember, I am wheelchair bound most of the time. However, the bathroom in our bedroom is too small for the wheelchair due to my husband’s recent remodeling in there. (That's a story for another time.) So I use my walker in the bathroom. After washing my hands, I realized that it was time for my medicine. I put the pill in my mouth and took a drink to swallow it. Apparently when I leaned my head back to swallow the pill my entire body went back. I only realized this when I was lying flat on the floor wondering what had just happened!

Of course, Gidget woke up when she heard the loud thud her mommy made. She jumped out of bed and ran over to me to see if I was all right. Amazingly, nothing was hurting so I pulled myself up and made it back to bed. After explaining to Gidget that I had just taken a drink and fell backwards, she and I went back to sleep.

After we got up and did school that day, my mom dropped by for a visit. Imagine my surprise when Gidget blurts out, “Guess what Mom-Mom? Mommy was drinking again and fell flat on her back!" I laughed so much that my stomach was sore! My mom hasn't stopped laughing about it! She keeps telling people and I keep begging her to stop. It really doesn't sound good for a pastor's wife! People are going to start thinking that I’m a drunk!

Anyway, my family just got home. Better get going.

Until next time,
Stacey
