j*yful heart is go*d medicine

My inlaws gave me a couple of ipod docking stations for Christmas. I keep one in the kitchen and the other beside CO's bed. CO & J listen to audio books at night. I BLAST Christian music (kids & adult) in the kitchen :)
We are having SO much fun dancing and singing throughout the day.
This morning there was lots of dancing while we waited for the muffins to bake. (carrot muffins...dislike the recipe...and have yet to taste one)
I have been reading this blog lately which I discovered by reading this blog (which I read because her husband's grandmother and my grandmother were great friends as adults and in some bizarre way I find this family makes me feel closer to my grandma...how weird is that??? well it is just me). The hol fit blog I find quite interesting. So far my water has increased. I am intrigued by the oil pulling. And I very much still want a juicer.

It is raining. Good bye snow :( Why can't the snow stay for 7 days? One week? that is all I ask. One week of outdoor snow fun. One week of winter fun. One week without mud!

This week is a NO tv week for me. I have drastically decreased my tv over the last two years. I am proud that I watch less than 5 hours of tv a week. (though my weekends at work, I have slipped into a crazy online tv watching mode in the evenings) I used to spend my evenings and days with the silly thing on non-stop. Well after CO came he would cry and have a fit for tv so to the basement it went.  Over time I have felt God reminding me that my days are his. There is LOTS of garbage on tv that I don't need to expose myself to. I don't want to be exposed to so much sin on tv that it no longer makes me sad and uncomfortable. Sin is sin. I shouldn't be watching so many shows that are full of sin because then I become immune to realising it is sin (sex, cheating, lying, etc.).

This weekend starts my new nannies. I am excited. I am happy that this weekend no suitcase will have to be packed other than my own! I am excited the boys get to stay at home and sleep in their own beds. I am excited that after working 40 hours I don't have to drive all over the countryside picking them up.
There are a couple of weekends between now and July that I have only half of the weekend covered but I hope that I get those covered soon.

well, I need to go clean up a muffin mess :) baking is always messier with my two mini 'helpers'

I wanted to add that I awoke to CO singing Jesus Loves Me at the top of his lungs this morning. It was a nice thing to wake up to. I love hearing my boys sing!
