Eli's Girl

You all know I need to be asleep, but I figured I'd jump on here right quick sinceI'm in a better mood. I was soooooooooooooooooo glad to see my husband up and about today. I'm starting to realize that I feel better on the days he feels better and vice versa (I guess that's understandable, huh?). He'd been pretty out of it since Thanksgiving thanks to that cold. Today he was finally starting to show signs of getting some strength back. We got the numbers back from the doc and the only one that was down was his white blood cell count. That was to be expected though since he had the cold. After school me and rugrats went to get flu shots. To my surprise one of my neighbors called and informed me that she had prepared dinner for us. I was so appreciative because since I'd been running errands all day I hadn't had a chance to take anything out. She told me she was preparing fish, but I'd have to make the sides. I was so glad. But when she showed up at my front door not only did she have one of favorites (salmon), she'd gone ahead and made beef patties, green beans, rice, rolls, brought a tin can full of cookies, two bottles of apple cider and plastic plates, cups and forks for the four of us. Talk about RIGHT ON TIME! I couldn't believe it. It's people like her that I learn lessons from. I learned that when someone offers help, accept it. That's kind of been an issue for me. I'm the type that tries to handle it all when in all honesty, I can't, at least not right now.

I'm still behind on t-shirt orders and I'm going out of town this weekend. Ughhhhh. My husband surprised me with another Christmas gift last night. He felt I needed to getaway so he's sending me to Florida for the weekend to do some shopping and visit friends. For those who know my husband you know this is a big deal because Mr. Budget doesn't fund too many shopping trips. LOL! You know I don't care though because his financial savviness is paying off now. I'm torn about going to Florida though because I hate leaving him here. He was supposed to be going with me, or so I thought. I just found out that that never was the plan. So he and the boys, along with his friend and my brother-in-law will be running the house this weekend. I think I'm going to have to slip my kids a $20 to make sure there are no parties going down.

You know the drill, please continue to pray for us. they are truly appreciated. Also keep our friends Danielle, Shellie and Matt lifted in prayer too. I can't be selfish, we're not the only crew that the devil is messing with.

Good night!
