Since writing last, things haven't necessarily taken a turn for the better...yet. Do you ever wonder - Is God trying to teach me something? or Is Satan trying to discourage me? or Do I need to refocus? or All of the above? Anyway, I am feeling better for sure, but still not 100%. Still coughing and having a hard time sleeping.
Last week on Weds, I heard a loud thud - ran downstairs to see that our dining room table light "randomly" fell from the ceiling and onto the table. It is very heavy and glass and I am so thankful no one was sitting there! The next day, I heard a loud noise - ran downstairs to hear what sounded like a fire crackling - but is was actually my back door shattering within itself into a million pieces. A week later you can still hear the cracking. My nice neighbor came over and duck-taped it to brace it for now. The next day, my five-year old came home from school with a fever, diarrhea, vomiting for the night and severe stomach cramps. These cramps are still with us and kept Kat and I up from 12:45-5:15 this morning. I then couldn't get back to sleep from the coughing. It is going to be hard to get better without sleep! We took the little one to the doctor to make sure it wasn't appendicitis or something - her daddy's ruptured when he was 5. They were worried this morning and considered sending us to the Children's ER at the hospital - but thankfully they think it might just be gas and some blockage stuff. Sleep sure sounds good now! I know things will get better and this is just a little phase - a very small phase compared to what some people have to go through...but I am still tired.:) Thanking God for the fact that this little thing is our biggest thing right now.

sorry to hear of your misfortune at the home and with health. i would not try to read too much into anything. things break all the time. people get sick and recover slowly. if anything, i think it is a great time to seek solitude away from "stuff". your care alone tells me that your heart is in the right place. self-centered people tend to not look "above or below" when things go wrong.
about the gas and blockage, though i do have an idea. whole foods makes a psyllium husk fiber supplement that goes in milk, juice or water. it does not really taste, but has to be drunk within a minute of preparing since it congeals like oatmeal. two teaspoons in the morning drink for a little one, or a tablespoon for an adult twice a day takes care of those issues. the psylium is also a great source of soulable fiber that guarenttes proper digestion in the small and large intestines. personally, i have eperienced a huge energy surge by taking this brand of psyllium husk with milk.

Thanks for the encouragement and ideas Matt! I have used psyllium husk before good reminder!
