pain is a pain and other moaning and groaning from the last week

OK today's lesson for me is humility.

Let's start with I have the Jump dress to get done for my daughter's prom which is May third and there is a lot to that dress.
It has been our dream dress (yes "our") since she was a little girl (1997 titanic movie came out) I shopped all over to get all the supplies in town and out and then................. I'll keep this short... the fight over grad, a move, a sell, paper work being the conductor of all!!!!!. Hubby's birthday party all day in kitchen.

OK fine I can sew now most of the above is handled. then............. the back went out and here I am a week later still perched on my heating pad trying not take any pain meds. Today I was up a bit went to church though I could not stand for all the songs the irony was the last song was "standing standing for Jesus" and I was sitting sitting for Jesus and to save my back.
I can't not believe how much this back has hurt and it is going into my hip and leg this time OK yeah I should go to the doctor but................... no time. Oh yeah I now realize I am not a spring chicken I used to lift things and have no problems or be on my feet for hours but now again here I am perched on the pad:(

Where does the humility come into all of this? I was complaining all week how nothing can get done with me down how I have to handle everything yada yada and in the shower this moring as I was barely able to stand I heard in my soul loud and clear "looks like things are getting done" Hubby has been cooking and running to the store and very helpful he even did the dishes this morning. I feel like I put up a road block to my own recovery by complaining. I think If I would have been more humble and said thank you instead of griping my healing process might have went faster. I am hoping with this realization tomorrow I will feel much better and I will take down the road block and realize it is a joint effort that gets it all done. I am still learning and may God continue to guide me with the light of Jesus shining in my path. Today I was able to give and ask for prayer still working on steping it up.
Forsure ok nothing is sure so formaybe tomorrow the dress!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessings

Last day Of November and Thoughts for today

I cannot believe it is going to be December already. Where has this year gone?
This has been a hard year in many ways but that being said I still have a lot to be thankful for!!!!!!!! A wonderful caring husband, the sweetest kids, too crazy pups,home, health and happiness and a really great picture of Johnny Depp on my cell phone:)
I let to many stresses effect me and that is already something I plan on working hard on for this New Year.
2008 that seems crazy my goodness it seems just like yesterday we were worrying about the crash of all computers in 2000 crazy how fast time flys.
Thanksgiving turned out to be wonderful and with out that blasted bird. I love my family for excepting the choice to ban the bird this year.:0)
We had a Mexican fiesta instead enchiladas chicken, beef and cheese, Spanish rice re fries, homemade chips and homemade guacamole. We ate later in the day so we could pull out the candles. We moved the kitchen table in the LR we don’t have a formal dining room but a eat in kitchen so this was a nice change.


We pulled out the fancy dishes MIL's silverware, linen napkins every thing elegant.
My home from college Son though it was funny that we ate enchiladas on china in candlelight. With all the sadness (my Father’s death in July) I really do feel blessed to have the Husband and children God gifted me with. Now that it is the last day of the month and the Tea party is done I can think about Christmas. Maybe Cheese Burgers for Christmas Dinner. I want to add a special hello to all my new blogging friends I am pretty new to keeping this up so thank you for all the comments on my tea party.

Have a blessed day

P.S. I actually sewed something I will post about that later :)
