Fell/186/Not too old, not too late... This is the year!

So it has been a while since I wrote on this journal, and sorry to those who come here to read something so I am going to see if I can catch you up on things.
Lets see Monday night I fell and banged up my knee, that was our night to clean the house, Joshua said I would do anything to get out of that, he was only kidding, and those of you that know me, know that I LOVE to clean and have a clean house, so that night I was down and in bed early. Tuesday, my knee was sore but that was about it thank the Lord. I took Tyler to the doctor, to make sure he did not have an ear infection, and thankfully he just had the crud going around. It seems my boys are passing this “crud” back and forth to each other. Parker is doing better still coughing like no ones business but over all is doing better. Tyler is finally sleeping through the night again, and getting the sleep that he so needed, and is doing better. So I did not “get out” of cleaning this week we cleaned Tuesday night and finished up the washing the laundry. Wednesday nothing really exciting happened, I went to work and got home we had fish sticks and mashed potatoes, it was a real hit with Tyler, so you know what that means.. yeah more fish sticks for sure. It is nice to have a change in menu choices. We are trying out a new schedule in the Hansen house and I think it is working, it is very general but making sure everything gets done that needs to be done. Joshua has really been helping with more household stuff and that has REALLY been helping me. Thursday was an interesting day, Tyler and I butted heads A LOT, boy is he STRONG WILLED.. We had a rough morning but after a trip to the cure all Target he was better, plus I dangled that possibility of going to the library if he acted like a good boy the rest of the day. That worked, Thursday afternoon we all jumped in the car and took a family trip to the library. Tyler loves going there, to play with puzzles and getting to pick out dvd’s and books.. and I love the look on his face when he like anything just priceless. Oh, so after the rough morning I had I decided to do that crazy thing of weighing myself.. drum roll…. LOST 2 more pounds so that makes it what? 186… and dropping  I did pretty good at working out this week, better than last,, I walked a total of 7 miles, looking forward to that number going up each week!
On a side note, Tyler is really becoming his own person and at times it is really difficult but more times than not I catch myself looking at T wondering where all the time has gone.. he is growing so fast getting so smart.. and well just plain funny and pure boy, sure do love that kid. Parker is doing well too, he has eaten some cereal but mostly still bottles, we are still waiting for him to roll over by himself, I know this is coming.. just hope I am there when it happens you know. With Tyler I was there for all his first, well most of them, and with Parker since I work P/T I might miss some things but I am praying that the first happen when I am around, and when we are at home, so Joshua can see it too. Thursday night was bible study, we are starting a Beth Moore study called Inheritance it was really good. Really hit home with me. She was asking ,” is this your year?” and you know I really think this is my year. Seems like I have finally woken up to life and hearing God, I know that might sound where but seems His message to me is everywhere.. Thursday night, it was is this your year, wanting a wild ride for life, last night was a word from God saying “it’s not too late, your not too old”.. that REALLY hit home. You know what I am not too old, what better day than today to start what I have always wanted to do. I KNOW there is stuff in me that needs to get out and I know that once I tap into that it will just keep coming I have this burn in my hear to get closer and closer to God and can’t wait to find out what is there.. So excited.. and you know I am just excited about life.. in our life group we are reading “When God’s people pray”, and it is really good. I have realized how important prayer is. Yes I grew up in church and have always “prayed” but the question in have I pressed in to hear from God, to wait upon the Lord to hear what He has for me.. well not really. So here we go, PRESSING IN, ROCKIN out of Jesus!!!
NoW we had a great turn out 90 plus people there and most importantly God was there. We just gathered as God’s kids and praised Him, it was GREAT and such a blessing it really was a great time.
Last night my kids stayed at their Papaws and Grandma’s house (J’s parents), and Joshua and I got to spend time together last night after NoW, we watched the DVD session for this weeks life group, it was a struggle to get through we were both so tired, but I am glad we did it for sure.. Today I got some me time, to pain nails and just chill. Joshua went to the Men’s Breakfast at church and after I get ready we are going to IHOP then to watch Avatar, so looking forward to more time with hubby.. Tonight hanging at Luis and Kim’s house, can’t wait to get to know them better they are so rockin cool, just really great people.. and love them… there is your shout out Kim and Luis if you read this.
