Slump-free Saturday lol

I declare today slump free! No slumping, slouching, moaning or groaning! I want EVERYONE that reads this post today to leave a comment with ONE BLESSING. Just count ONE today! If you want to count more feel free but I want to hear at least one good thing from each passer-by.

We had a ladies event at church last night, a PJ party! Came dressed in pj's and brought a food beginning with a P or J. (I brought potato salad). I've never SEEN more varieties of pasta salads. Jambalya, pizza, and OH the crowning jewel, some rich falling over chocolatey stuff called PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE BROWNIES. O M GOSH I WILL get the recipe :) And then my friends I'LL POST IT. Oh yes I will. But it was almost too sinful to eat at church LOL. We had a skit and games oh yes fun running around embarassing games LOL. Then a very nice devotional. And our pastor's wife announced what our theme for our big ladies event in Sept will be, which is Back in time, and we will sign up to help decorate a table representing a particular time period. I already spoke up for the '60's! Peace, love, etc ;) I laughed so hard last night it lifted me out of my slump before I could breathe twice ;) SO much fun. God is so good and fellowship is priceless :)

I have been feeling overall better and as a result I know have every room in my house cleaned EXCEPT wildchild's. Its horrendous. Its also kind of a catchall so its not entirely his fault, although at 13 most of it IS his laziness. School is out in 2 wks I think I'll hold off til then. My room though I finally finished yesterday, and its so clean and so restful, why do I slob it up??? Why why why? :)

Well, get to leaving your blessing comments, I use to post my gratitudes at the end of each post I need to get back to that. Have a great weekend all!

Blessings:
Cleanliness
Birds singing (oh we have a LOUD nest just outside our bedroom window, and they are silent today...wonder if they went off to birdy college or something finally?)
Sweet kittens
Sweet kittens going to new homes this weekend LOL
Jesus. saved the best for last :)

Worry...

Today my 10 yr old special needs son Lovey went with his 4th grade on a field trip to the capitol. We are 5 hrs from there. I originally planned to drive but we didnt have the gas money, then I planned to ride the bus as a chaperone but reality was I'd rather eat dirt than spend 10+ hrs on a bus with 4th graders. So I stretched my apron strings a bit and let him go. I had to drop him off at 5:15a.m. at school this morning and came home and cried and cried and cried. He was nervous to go without me...I KICKED myself for not sucking it up and going. So I came home, cried a bit, then I prayed. For the buses, their brakes, tires, wheels, mirrors. For the drivers, for them to be alert, for their vision their hearing (their sanity HA). For all the chaperones, each had about 4 charges to care for, for the kids themselves. And for my Lovey, special needs and all...its hard to loosen my grip on him. My biggest desire apart from my kids' salvation and lives for Christ is for them to be mature and productive adults. I know this is a building block in that, I know this field trip is more than an economic lesson in state government, its also a lesson in trust and maturity and sense of self. Oh not for him...FOR ME ;) No just kidding I know he'll do fine. And so will I.

Ps 56:3 -
When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
