Shots

A couple of days ago I took the kids to their yearly check up at the Dr.  I knew there would be shots involved and I had done my best to prepare them.  I am not sure "preparing" them was really the best, but I thought I would try to be controlled and honest letting them know that they might feel a little stick, but then it will all be fine.  Yeh, RIGHT.  Allyson first - she did panic a bit, but I only had to hold her somewhat and she was done.  Trevor's turn - well after seeing Allyson's panicked look, he was already beside himself with anxiety.  I go to pick him up and put him on the table and he just puts his little sandal clad foot up, right into my stomach and starts yelling - NOOOOOO.  I was kinda freaked out - I wondered if I should get on to him for kicking me, laugh and play like he would be fine or just chunk him up on the table and get it over with, I think I did all three as the nurse called in extra reinforcements.  Can I just say how bad I felt for all the children waiting in the rooms anywhere near us - really anywhere in the building.  What they heard probably will never be forgotten, Trevor screamed bloody murder and didn't stop until we left the building.  Poor baby, poor Mommy!  

Jenna had her shots a couple of days after, she had 3. We had to stay in the room and could not leave for awhile because she was very light headed and was considering fainting -they know us well at the Dr. Office, yes, family with drama. She did recover enough to leave the building without incident, thank goodness.  Just very glad it is all over with! Whew!


Funny when you look back on it...kinda.

BE STILL...and know that I AM GOD!

I picture God saying that to me..."BE STILL, Kristan" - no, I hear Him saying it to me and it is SOOOO hard to do.  I have a major problem with planning out everything and actually thinking it will go the way I plan it.  Of course a dear friend has reminded me that God already HAS those plans made for me and He does not need my help.  I need to be still and, well, do what I am told. 


As Mr. Wonderful told me today, "You are so moody."  Yes, so true.  There are many reasons I might be "so moody" none of them I really need to be reminded of, but I have to see his point.  My emotional roller coaster ride really does not need to be displayed constantly.  So, I'm getting off the roller coaster and I am going to be still...ish...hey, I am growing here, give me a little grace.


I have to say, I do have the most encouraging friends and I am soaking up every scripture and every lovely word they are saying to me.  Big *HUG* to all of you - you know who you are - yes, it is you!


BIG 'ole weekend ahead and our 40 days will start on Monday, I'll blog after my mind stops spinning.


My verse: "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalms 46:10


Exalting God with you,
K
