Widget Wednesday postponed, and other news

I have had a day, people. Started homeschool at 9 with an annoying hint of a headache and by ten it was a full blown migraine. I spent the entire afternoon laying on my couch begging my kids in a whisper to be quiet. My migraines come along with super nausea, so that was nice, too. Seth was an angel, lounging in his bouncy between feedings and letting me rest.

I rallied around 4:30 and headed for the shower. We were meeting up with our youth group to shop for a family in need and there was no way I was missing it, so we headed out (late as usual) for a dinner with friends and the high schoolers and then headed out to Target (ahhhh...my favorite place) to shop with just about every other kid that attends our church. At one point a lady walked by on her phone saying "It is a madhouse here! I have no idea why!"

It was a great success though...we raised over $400 for "our" family and bought everything on their list and also got them a gift card, so I am very excited! Hopefully they will be able to have a great Christmas.

Point being in all of that...I did not get my gear post up the week! So I am going to attempt to get it up tomorrow...so Thursday will be Widget Wednesday this week. Make sense? Great.

Things are moving along for Seth's fundraiser...feels like it's going about as fast a glacier right now, but they are moving. I am trying hard to keep up my excitement, and I know it will get better when things really start happening again. He received a referral for physical therapy today, so he could really use some prayers...he has enough on his plate already! I don't know where we would fit in more therapy, so let's pray that it's something we can get a handle on in an evaluation and he won't need ongoing therapy.

Bed is calling my name. I will listen.

Ya'll will definitely be in my prayers. Congrats on raising so much for the family! That's amazing!

Oh goodness, I can't imagine having to walk through the stores with tons of youth and a headache! =0)

I am one of the two youth workers in our small church. I really do enjoy working with them - they seem to help keep me young! ...or at least ACTING young.

Feel better soon!
