Broken Rib, Pnuemonia and other pleasant things...

So, most of you know that I have had pnuemonia FOREVER now, and that I broke a rib coughing a couple of weeks ago. Well last night I had my first ride in an ambulance! There I was trying to cook dinner for my family, and then what do you know, I have to cough. So i cough. Then i SCREAM!!!!! I popped that already broken rib right out of place!! My kids heard it POP!!! So, my dad came and got the kids, and the ambulance came and got me!! Horrible hospital treatment, but thats a whole nutha story. So now, I am thankful to say, that at some point in the 4 and a half hours that I sat waiting, my rib moved back where it was supposed to be! Was so thankful to get that call from the dr this morning! Your rib is back where its supposed to be!! Yay for that!
Unfortunately, I forgot to pick a giveaway winner!! hehehe;)

Today is monday and I generally really love monday. It is a fresh new start to a new week. I have rested up over the weekend and feel prepared to meet the new week. Well, with having pnuemonia and a broken rib, Ive been a little worried about how I will do everything i need to do this week. I have been praying hard and spent a long time in prayer last night pleading with Heavenly Father to help me be able to care for my husband and kids this week. I woke up this morning and have coughed maybe twice the whole day, and my rib doesnt hurt!!! What an amazing miracle and blessing. I know that Heavenly Father wants me to do a good job at being a momma and wife. I know that he wants me to be healthy enough to serve others as well. I am going to try harder to eat better and take better care of myself. I am just so thankful that so far today ( it is only 11:30am) I have been able to do dishes, and a ton of schoolwork with the kids. I swept the living room. I made lunch. I am so blessed to have been able to accomplish these things. This afternoon we still have an art project to do ( a cute fall leaf suncatcher thing) and literature ( we are starting on aesops fables) and i also want to try and get one load of laundry in the wash. I am not sure what will be for dinner tonight. I may have to let Keith take that , so that I dont completely wear myself out and be down tomorrow. The kids are being wonderful, they have been excellent for school and very creative today- they entertained themselves with a package of pipe cleaners for like an hour!! lol. They are so cute.
For gospel lesson today we read about Helamans Army. Tonight for fhe we are doing a helamans army boot camp. We will do different "boot camp" activities that have to do with being like the stripling warriors and obeying your parents and honoring them. It should be super fun!
Well, thats it for now. Im off to take the kids outside to choose the fall leaves they are going to use for their sun catchers :)

Creative Kids

My kids are so dang cute! Dylan made a jet from his erector set, and Marlee made clay figures of me and daddy!

Cute!
