Who Have You Told About Jesus Lately?

I received this video from GodTube in an email from a friend today and after watching it and crying, I just don’t have the words to say what I’m feeling right now. The video says it all. Once you watch, come back and leave me a comment telling me who you’ve told about Jesus today?

ABC TV Has My Heart

I’ve really slacked over the last year about taking time to just veg out and the last few weeks I’ve decided that enough is enough and I’ve gotten hooked on 3 shows and it just so happens that all of them are on ABC.

Here are my newest 3 addictions:

* Desperate Housewives (Sunday nights)
* Dirty Sexy Money (Wednesday nights)
* Grey’s Anatomy (Thursday nights)

There are others that look interesting and/or I’ve heard are great, but these three have my attention so far so I’ll stick with those for now. ;) However I think I’m going to have to check out Women’s Murder Club. I’ve read the first 2 of the 3 book series the show is based on and I loved them so it’ll be interesting to see how the show turns out. Just gotta find time to squeeze another show in.

Thank goodness they are all on the same station because there have been a few weeks I’ve missed on some of them. Last week I missed them all, this week I’ve missed 1 of them so far, but I’m catching up as I type this post thanks to ABCTV.com’s Full Episode Player. This is just so cool!

So, if you’re like me and have your favorite shows and they just happen to be on ABC, head on over and check out the player by clicking here and catch up on any that you’ve missed.

Free Tele Class on QuickBooks

I used to live and breathe QuickBooks, but since starting my own business I’ve gotten a bit slack and should probably take a refresher course and after visiting Financial Tips for Wahms, I saw where Teleclass.com is offering a free course on the software.

You can find out more about this Basic (Introduction) to QuickBooks, as well as sign up for the free class by clicking here.

7 Things About The Wahmmy!

I’ve been tagged by my friend Tishia Lee. Unfortunately, I almost missed the tag as it was last week while I was in my bit of a funk and not on the pc unless I absolutely had to be due to the fact I was ill and irritable…ahhh gotta love that pregnant-ness!

Anyway, Tishia wants to know 7 things about me that she may not already know…hmmm…I’m not sure exactly what to post but I’ll do my best. So, here goes:

1. I’m mom to two boys and expecting my 3rd child in April…secretly I want a little girl, but boys are so much fun too. Shhhh don’t tell hubby!

2. I have one sister and two brothers who are all younger than me and have way more attitude than me too! Yes, I was the good child…heehee

3. My parents divorced when I was not even a year old.

4. I credit finding God again to my hubby and I credit God for my hubby!

Wheww…this is getting hard here, Tishia.

5. Both my boys have middle names that when put together are my dad’s name, but neither was named after my dad.

6. Hubby and I can’t agree on any name for the new baby except that if it’s a boy his first name will be Drake and if it’s a girl, her middle name will be MaeAnn.

7. Watching my grandmother pass away was the saddest day of my life and one that changed my life forever, in ways I never thought possible.

Ok, that was tough. Now I’m supposed to tag other people, but I know this round of Tag has been around tons of times, so if you’ve already been tagged…sorry! If not, let us know your 7 things:

Nicole
Kristine
and anyone else who wants to play along!

Bye Bye First Trimester

Sunday I hit 13 weeks and had my appointment yesterday. Hubbs wasn’t going to go with me but about an hour before I had to leave he called and said, get me some clean clothes cause I’m going with you! Though the appointment wasn’t anything big, just talk, measure, go over the ultrasound results, I was so glad that he got to go with me.

We dropped the H-man off at Granny & Grandaddy’s and headed on our way for a few hours of just Mom & Dad time. It was so nice…we don’t get that much at all due to kids, work schedules, etc. so when we do we take advantage of it.

Once at our appointment, we got to hear the baby’s heartbeat. There is just something about hearing the heartbeat for the first time that makes it all real and causes a sense of calm, at least for me. Even the doctor was mesmerized for a bit, because she just left the doppler there for what seemed like a long time and let us listen. With Hunter, Jerry didn’t even hear it, the doctor was so fast about things. Of course, had he said something at the time I would have made darn sure the doc left it there until he did.

Yesterday there was just a sense of calm and peace in the whole wide world (which by the way I forgot existed while I was listening to those absolutely wonderful thump, thump, thumps that are my baby’s heart beat. Oh and by the way, this baby is very cooperative…heard the heart beat the minute the doppler hit my tummy. Me is thinkin’ this just might be my little girl because neither of my boys were quite that cooperative, until it came to the ultrasound to determine their sex and then of course they both just flipped right on over to show the world that! ;)

Ok, I’ve pretty much rambled on haven’t I? All tests came back A-ok, blood pressure looks GREAT at 112/54, which is lower than with the boys who I ran ok with but still a bit higher. (hmmm maybe yet another clue…you think?) I haven’t gained any weight since my last visit and can’t quite figure that one out because I’ve been eating like a horse which I couldn’t do at this point with the boys either. See the differences here people? hee hee

After the appointment we headed over to get some maternity clothes, yes I need them already can you believe that!!!! Got two outfits, one of which is absolutely adorable and looks oh so comfy! I’ll have to post pics of them soon.

By the way, no I don’t necessarily want a girl more than a boy, but it would be kind of cool to have some female hormones other than just mine running through this house! ;)

I’m a Sunflower How About You?

I was over at my friend Tishia Lee’s blog and she posted a cute little “What Kind of Flower are You” post, so I thought I’d give it a whirl just to see, especially since I’m far from a green thumb. As a matter of fact when Zach was about 3-4 he told me I had a black thumb. HA HA HA

According to the site, a sunflower is described as this:

“When your friends think smile, they think of you. There is not a day that goes by that you can’t find something good about the world and your fellow human.”

I am a
Sunflower
