Hard to believe but true!

This is a story that most of you probably won't believe, but it's the truth! It really did happen! Angel and I were spending the day Wed doing our normal stuff while daddy was at work. He works 24 hours at a time, so we have to learn how to manage while he's gone. Well Wed was a true test for me. First of all I got ready to put Angel to bed. When I walked into her room to get her ready for bed...you know change diaper, clean up, put pj's on, say bed-time prayers...well we got as far as turning on the light and I saw a dead mouse in the middle of the floor. For those of you that don't know...I think mice are the nastiest creatures alive, well this one was dead, but still the nastiest creature. I have never in my life picked up a mouse and disposed of it, always had someone else to do it for me. So I called Jon and told him he had to come home there was an emergency!! Ok so he did exactly what you are doing...he laughed at me. So I took some Kleenexes...that's right plural, more than one...picked it up by the very tip of it's tail and took it out to dispose of it. Then I got Angel ready for bed and did all the things that we normally do and went on about my business. About an hour later I got ready to head to bed myself. As if it wasn't enough that I had to dispose of a dead mouse...when I walked into my hallway, there was a SNAKE going under the door into Angel's room!! Yeah you heard it right a snake, ALIVE!! So I called Jon once again and said you have to come home there is an emergency!! He laughed again and said yeah right you are kidding. And I expressed that the two creatures I hate most are mice and snakes...no matter if they are dead or alive, but especially if they are alive. Finally after he realized I was not kidding, we figured out how I could go about killing a snake...Me kill a snake, I never even picked up a dead mouse before and this particular night I had to not only pick up a dead mouse, but kill a snake too. I was ready to pick Angel up and move out! While I chased the snake around the room, they are fast creatures, Angel sat in her bed laughing at me. Although I love to hear my little girl laugh, I could think of a lot of other things I would much rather do to make her laugh. Long story short, I disposed of a dead mouse and a dead snake and swore that if any other creatures entered my house that night I was packing up and moving out! Hope your sides are too sore from laughing at my expense. Now for some less entertaining and more informative news!

We are Praising The Lord for his goodness! We have answers to our prayers. Angel is feeling much better. She is back to her normal self finally! She has regained her appetite and is back to playing instead of sleeping all the time. It does a mom's heart good to see her little one enjoying life!

The other praise is that I got some good news at the doctor's yesterday. I went to find out the results of my tests for Celiac Disease. Praise the Lord...I do NOT have Celiac Disease. And even better than that, I do NOT have to go on the very expensive gluten-free diet that they had previously told me I would have to go on. There is medication they can give me to help with the gluten intolerance that I have. What a miracle!!

Please continue to pray for the family that lost their baby as they are dealing with the grieving process. And continue to pray for Jon's cousin as he is making great progress, but has a long ways to go.
