We went camping with my family. The boys spent more time in the water than the fish did. Not that we caught any.

Lots of produce from our garden. This is my first potato harvest. This was ONE plant! I had 5 plants total. Tomatoes were not so good this year.

One of them was to Qwyhee State park in Oregon. The boys want to move there. I told them not to forget to write.

Another of them was to Celebration Park. Fred ended up going back here a few weeks later when school started for a field trip.

 

So as you can tell, I kinda took a little blogcation. The summer goes by just so quick, so I really tried to spend as much time with the boys as I could, and then once school started it’s been go go go. So, now that the dust has settled, I hope to get back to posting again!

So we just got back from vacation…. that post is coming later…. and Fred promply got sick. We got home from church where his fever started to rise again. He went to lay in my bed for a while, and when he came out to use the bathroom he came over, and said “I think my fever broke. I’m all sweaty.”

I had to look away so I wouldn’t laugh in his bright red, sweaty face!

My life has once again been put in overdrive, as another school year is coming to a close. Only three more days until I get my children back for a meesly 2 months. I will treasure these 2 months! They always go by so quickly. Three more days.

I cannot put any words together to truly express my gratitude towards my Saviour, Jesus. But this song did it for me. Please read each and every word and remember that all he did and went through was for you. Bless His name!

All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.

I surrender all,
I surrender all.
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!

I love to read. I tend to get a little wrapped up in most books. My kids don’t get to eat real meals until the last page of the book has been read. Serious neglect happens when I have my nose in a book. Since going back to work my reading time has dramaticly been scaled back. This saddens me greatly, but I really like to sleep, and I have to choose one or another. I have noticed lately that I’m really not finding anything that sparks my interest. I might be willing to go out on a limb and read something not in my ‘normal’ genres. So my question to you blog readers, what books should I check out. I’m open to your suggestions.

**I know it has taken me awhile to write the next installment of our story, but we are getting close to the part that I’m not so proud of.  But you know I’ve done a lot of things that make me cringe and want to forget about.  But I know that Jesus can forgive a whole lot of things, and he has. So I will finish telling my story and you can judge me if you want. I refuse to censor myself, but I will be  leaving some of  the details out….**

 

After the February drill Jerk-Boy and I started to plan a Valentine’s date. Valentines was on a Saturday that year. We were going to meet in a town halfway between mine and his.  I called around for a hotel room, and did a search for restaurants and movies. It seemed like we both wanted to spend some quality time together. But the whole time I was planning this ‘romantic getaway’ all I could think about was Jason.  I was starting to feel really guilty. The guilt left very quickly when the day before Valentines I got a call from Jerk-Boy himself and canceled on me. He said he had an emergency drill to attend that weekend.  You would think I would have been miserable. I was. I was miserable that I was home alone and I knew Jason was going out with La Femme Nikita. I called him Saturday afternoon. I had some dumb excuse about a concert that was coming up and I wanted information about it.  I had no plans at all on going, but my friend convinced me it was a prefect reason to call. I couldn’t tell by his voice if he was glad I called or if I was just some kid bugging him while he was busy.  I did learn that yes indeed he was still planning on spending the evening with La Femme. He asked why I wasn’t with Jerk-boy, and I explained it and tried to play it off. The whole conversation lasted no more than 10 minutes. And it made my day oh so much more miserable. So I did what everyone does when they are miserable. I went to a party and got drunk. I was drunk and watched a whole lot of Nine Inch Nails videos.  That is not a combination I would suggest doing. Ugh.   I also cried a lot.  I hated that La Femme. I hated her a lot.

Well this year for Super Bowl we decided to stay home.  I think it was a great decision. I didn’t have to prepare any food or get dressed. You know besides anything other than my pj’s.   So what does the Rubble family do on super bowl night???

Jason: Writing a story. Also that wall needs work…. very boring.

It was a good game. I also spent a lot of time on the internet when Fred wasn’t playing. I love lazy Sundays. I really do.
