I've really tried to be patient.  I truly have.  Its time to move on though.

Those interested in knowing my new blog please email me @ geekette.crissa at gmail dot com.

Thanks.

Thats me lol... I searched this whole town, well pretty much anyways.  I didnt end up getting advil cold/sinus but I did get the walmart brand, they wanted 12$ for the advil name, and only 5.60$ for the store brand.  Sweet relief!!!  It took about 20 mins to kick in and here I am 4 hours later just about needing another dose, I think I'll forgo it though and just take something nice and strong to knock me out at bed time.

I did have to sign my life away to get it.  Lovely huh?  All because of one drug in it, I have to stand in a long line at the pharmacy (25 mins no joke!) and show my ID, and sign stating I know that I am purchasing this drug la la la... Just give it to me darn it!!!  Thankfully I had one swallow of water in my water bottle in the car so I was able to take it before even leaving the parking lot. 

I don't know why the Tylenol(and store equivalents) do nothing for me.  I have no clue what so ever.  The same goes for head aches and fevers, doesnt even touch them.  Now Ibuprofen, knocks it out as soon as it kicks in.  I should take stock in Advil.  I really should I buy so much of it.  Although we've been slowly switching store brands because they want so much more money for the name brand stuff.

Anyways I'll end as I'm rambling.  I have dinner to make.  I actually feel great as aposed to this morning when all I wanted to do was ignore the fact that M was screaming to go potty in her room and V was yelling "Mama I GO"  at 6:20am, and roll over and go back to sleep.  I'm sure Mike will take half the box and store it in his car because he's got the same thing going on and its the only thing that works for him as well.

Thru the ceremony and potluck and it was wonderful.  Its so nice to have it done, now I just have to go handle all the name changing stuff.  Loads of fun I tell ya, especially when getting to drag around two kiddos.

Around midday Sunday I started feeling extremely exhausted, then a sore throat kicked in, its still rearing its ugly head today and I feel like my nasal passages are on fire.  Gotta love that crap too!  V's nose is running, M's too for that matter, and so we're all kinda sick.  I hate when it starts to warm up, all the icky germy bugs take over.  I get a sinus crud every year around this time.  Although this year I fully intend on taking some good meds.

I have got to start keeping up with this blog a bit better.  Maybe I need to find a site that offers ideas or something.

"March 31 - Day 419 DAY +91

1st Update / 2:47 am [Ben] - URGENT PRAYER REQUEST!!!  

Well technically we are very blessed, Mike and I.  Who have friends that go out of their way to help us. I've been so stressed since I saw our bank account.  With wondering how we were going to afford what we needed Saturday. Well I was able to sell a bundle of clothes (baby type) and a friend paid me back for something I hadn't expected her to pay me back for, and they also gave us our wedding gift early.  We are so well blessed!  Alot of it I believe is God, I believe with out a shadow of a doubt He'll provide in our time of need.  He always does.  Yeah we got ourselves into the money trouble but part of it we couldn't control. 

*BIG SIGH OF RELIEF*  Tomorrow is Friday!!

Man I wish I had some Vernors right now.  My stomache is so torn up.  Not sure what is wrong. I think since Mike is sick too maybe it was dinner from last night.

Happy Easter right?!?

We got some cute outfits for the girls bears, dinner was good (we went to Qdoba yum).  About halfway thru the movie I started to feel ill... not feeling so hot right now hopefully in the morning it will be better.

Really loved the movie Shutter!!  I highly recommend it for horror lovers out there.

                  Meaning Of The Resurrection

The resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth was the greatest event in
human history.

Why?

Not just because someone came back from death. That had
happened before.

Jesus was acting as a representative for the human race. What
He was doing was not for Himself -- but for us.

ROMANS 4:25 NKJ
25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised
because of our justification.

The people watching Jesus die on the cross knew nothing of
this. Later it was revealed what actually happened. Jesus was
being a substitute for the human race, suffering in our stead.
When divine justice was satisfied -- Jesus was raised from the
dead as your representative. You got credit for what Jesus did.

It was not just the death and resurrection of one man. It was
the legal death and resurrection of us all. All Jesus did was
as mankind's substitute representative.

Jesus was not raised from the dead until you were justified.
That means declared righteous, or in right standing with God.

The resurrection of Jesus, according to Scripture, is a
declaration that God has taken care of the sin problem and made
you righteous.

YAY!!  Mike and I are getting a date night.  We're going to go see Shutter, but before that we'll be running to Build-A-Bear to pick up some outfits for the girls easter baskets.  Both girls are staying with the grandparents.  First time since mid January.  Thats another post all in its self. 

Happy Friday everyone!

This is the first year we dyed eggs with M.  V got to sit in her highchair and color.  I'm pretty sure everything would have ended up on the floor with in 5 seconds had we let her down.

When they pass out while coloring!

**CAUTION: Use of profane launguage below**

I really wanted to title this "Fuck you Bitch" but thought twice about it.  There are days when I think that all the ignorant people in this world should just succumb to spontanious combustion and disappear. Poof they would all be gone in a single instance and the rest of us can enjoy life with out all the stupid shit.

Anyways back to what this post is about...  I was in Carr’s today doing a little bit of quick shopping, needed some cash back for parking at the airport.  I’m checking out with a lady that I usually see in there.  This is what goes on:

SL: "How are you doing"
Me:  "We’re doing pretty good, its beautiful outside today."
SL:  "You must feel so fortunate to have a job that keeps you home during the day with your girls.  They are so cute"
Me: "Thanks, they are alot of work but I wouldn’t have it any other way."
SL: "So what do you do?"
Me: "Oh I am a stay at home mom. Being a full time mom is alot of work."
SL: "Oh well being a stay at home mom isnt a real job!."

At this point she’s handing me my cash back and I just really wanted to reach over the divider and smack the crap out of her.  I think I may have even turned red.  I’m obviously still steamed about it.  I may not work out of the home and get paid real money.  But I see it as a real job.  The pay is in hugs kisses and smiles and I’ll tell you what, its the best and most rewarding job I have ever had in my life.  It really irritates me when stay at home moms are treated like all we do is sit on the couch at home and eat bon bons while our children entertain themselves. 

No I do NOT look down on those that work out the side the home. I admire that you have the energy and strength to do two jobs, one outside and then still be a mommy 24/7 and keep up your houses. This is totally about how sahm’s are looked down upon and treated as if we don’t work.

Because who knows if it will actually post.

Is my blog back?  Why the heck does my feed still say it doesnt exist??  Ugh the stress is almost to much, I am glad its back so maybe I can copy all my posts.  Big huge eye opener!

                          Temporary!

This is what you should say to your circumstances when they
don't line up with God's Word:

Temporary!

2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 NIV
18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is
unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is
eternal.

You may not realize it -- but problems often "speak" to you.
They say things like, "You can't get rid of me. I'll be with
you as long as you live."

"Your parents died from this and you will, too."

"Your family was poor and you'll always be poor. You'll never
have abundance. You'll never get out of debt."

Actually, it's the demonic forces behind the problems that
speak to our minds -- trying to keep us in doubt and unbelief.
We must resist those thoughts -- and the first step is to talk
back!

We should speak to thoughts of doubt and unbelief that are
contrary to what God has said in His Word -- for His Word is
truth.

Don't be passive. Resist!

The Bible tells us to resist the devil. That means to resist
his thoughts and ideas, too.

Long ago, God gave mankind dominion on earth. That dominion
included naming things. You still have that form of dominion
today. If you name your troubles as "yours" and "permanent" --
they will stay. But if you call them "temporary" -- they will
eventually leave.

Jesus told us to speak to our mountains and tell them to be
gone. But what should you say after you have spoken to the
mountain and it's still there?:

TEMPORARY!

SAY THIS: My circumstances are subject to change!

Yet another great devotional.

He has one job for this getting married process, he has to ask a friend to marry us.  Not to complicated right??  We got the license Thursday last week.  He had all weekend to call a friend and ask.  Has he??  NO!  Ugh men sometimes.  I'm about a day away from just calling one of our friends asking them to do it and then I'll go down to the court and have them appointed commissioner and it will be done. 

Frustration oh boy!
