I am going to start writing my blogs in the mornings. I am trying to manage my time a little better. It seems like I never have enough hours in one day. The mornings work better for me because Fisher is sleeping, the kids get on the bus, and Rob is gone to work. It is kinda weird with everything so quiet. I can actually think about what happened during the day yesterday. haha! We woke up this morning to blue skies!!!! The sun made everything that was washed with the fresh rain glisten. Everything seems so much more green today. It is absolutely beautiful. I LOVE the picture God paints for me every morning!
I am especially concerned this morning for some people we met on the way to Italy. They were military brats from Bahrain. They were on a field trip to Vicenza with their school principle. The Navy's 5th fleet is stationed in Bahrain along with their family members. I pray that God protects everyone located in Bahrain. According to Fox News, there have already been 5 casualties. I am sure they are not American citizens, but I am also concerned for the people causing the unrest. It's so sad that the world has to come to this. Just makes me believe even more that we are on the brink of Jesus' return. There is so much to think about when you really sit down and grasp this reality. I know I am saved, but I sure haven't lived the way a Christian should live in order to please the Lord and point others to Him. I have been bitter with people and just let anger control my emotions rather than allowing the Lord to take control. I know nobody is perfect, but it doesn't make me any more satisfied with my recent attitudes. I am just thankful that He has not allowed me to become complacent. Just pray for me. I have a wonderful husband and three fantabulous children to set an example for. Here lately, my litte Abbi has been my example. If you were here, you would understand. She has such a pure heart and a sweet spirit. And even though Hunter can be very mischievious and hard to handle at times, he really has a BIG heart too! He is a sweet little boy. Now Fisher, I am not sure about yet. We are just going to pray that God helps him in spite of his parents! haha! He is a firecracker right now! O my goodness that boy is a mess! He just walks up and tries to knock Rob and the kids out for no reason whatsoever. He doesn't do that to mommy though. I think his recent increase in spankings has curbed his mischieviousness towards mommy! Maybe Rob feels bad because he was gone so long or because he isn't here as much during the day, but I definitely have become the disciplinarian around here. I just can't let my children be so...so....wicked! lol!
I have tossed the idea of going to the doctor today around in my little head, but I don't think I am going to. I think I have a sinus infection but I am going to try to kill it with saline and continues use of kleenex. There isn't a whole lot the facility here can do anyway. I am sure they could prescribe me with something, but I don't really know that I want them to do that. Don't get me wrong, there is a good network here, but things are seeming kinda bleak lately in regards to how the government is taking care of military families. It's not the doctors, it's the higher ups. Rob came home with some reports yesterday that really worried me. Seems as if our leaders aren't sure how much longer they can support our soldiers and their families. If we get stuck over here in Italy with no way to get back, I am not going to be happy. Everyone should immediately start putting their pennies in a jar and saving them for an Emergency Fund for us! We will call it our Escape Plan!
Hope you got lots of pennies though. Our recent ticket search produced a total itinerary of about $5,000!!!
Airline tickets have increased a bit over the last few months. :/ Maybe you ladies could check your papers to see if there is a Q-pon for this? lol! Probably not. Have a good day everyone and don't forget...PENNIES!!! :)
