I've missed "What's up Wednesdays" and "haven't figured out Thursdays" and "Fandom Fridays" and tomorrow's my day off!!
It's all good, I'll work on it for next week. We've had some drama here because of our littest one.
Whoever said that frostbite can't happen in a few little minutes was full of crap.
We've been 2 days in the hospital because my sweet little Mo pulled off her mittens and her sister tossed her out of the sled into the snow! Her fingertips are still a little raw and red, but at least she's able to hold things and isn't screaming everytime we touch her hands. It was very scary for a while but from now on: Everyone in my family has homemade mittens (down to their elbows) and see if you can pull those off! This scared the pants off me! Everyone at the hospital questioned my abilities as a mom (so did I) and I felt miserable and scared and hated winter (which was very different from my usual relationship with winter.) I was scared she was going to lose her fingers! An old song I used to sing at camp passed into my brain and I sang it.
"I cast all my cares upon you
I lay all of my burdens down at your feet
and anytime, I don't know,
What to do
I will cast all my cares upon you"
Tears welled up in my eyes and I just started to weep. I gave God my daughter and her health and who am I to try to hold onto her again? So I gave it all to God and immediately felt better.
What I've learned from my drama: I've learned that I'm going to pretty much wrap my child up to the point where she might not be able to breathe if ever the weather drops below -29. Or to stay in and drink Hot chocolate and watch it through the window.
Thankfully she's holding her food and even smacking her mom in the face (which I missed honestly). Her fingers are still a little red, but not as tender. (Praise the Lord!)
It looks like today might be scare-me Saturday, but that wasn't my intention.
I thought I'd give a weekend funny story but that can't happen either.
In other news, Lent is kicking my butt.
I'm off Coca-Cola for 40 days. It's made me introspective but it's also killing me! I really want Coke!
I figure if Jesus went 40 days with no food or water (or coke) then I can do it too.
wish me luck?
See you tomorrow with a strange, interesting, or funny picture :)
