Joel has such a quick mind and likes to talk non-stop, so I have many stories to tell you! Here is our latest thing that he said. He has a real fascination with "bad words" his favorite being the word...stupid! He is not allowed to say stupid. For weeks he has been telling me over and over again, "I not say that bad word." I just respond with, "Good Joel, thank you." This has gone on for weeks no joke. Apparently not saying the bad word was just killing him. The other day he started something new.
Joel-"Mommy, did you hear that?"
me-"No, Joel I did not. What was it?"
Joel-"My truck just called me STUPID!"
me (acting very sorry and concerned)-"Oh no Joel. Please tell that truck not to call you names like that."
Joel (very sternly)-"Truck, my mommy said no call me stupid."
He went back to playing nicely for about ten minutes and then the truck got mouthy again.
Joel-"Mommy, my truck called me stupid again."
me-"Joel tell your truck, if he can't talk nicely we will have to get rid of him."
Joel-"Mommy?"
me-"Yes, Joel."
Joel-"The couch just called me STUPID!"

A story and a couple of statements
Hey ya all. How are you doing?
- Still no computer at home...using Jeff's office computer now.
- Karen, I need you to make me a fun winter background! PLEASE!!!
- The falling snow is absolutely beautiful today!!!
Onto my story....
Jeff's back has been bothering him so he has been sleeping out on the floor by the wood burning stove each night. I get the huge bed to myself!! Lastnight Amy had a friend sleep over, so I gave them my bed and I slept in the girl's room in Amy's bed. (Side note...her bed is very comfy!) In the middle of the night Joel woke up. He got out of bed, walked over to Emily's bed, and woke her up. He told her that his foot hurt. I was two feet away, but neither of them was aware of it. Emily took such good care of Joel and I got to hear the whole thing. She picked him up and put him in her bed. She found out which foot hurt and she rubbed it until he said that it didn't hurt anymore. Then she went into his room to get him something. She came back, told Joel to lay down, and they fell back to sleep cuddled up in her bed together. I often find Joel in Emily's bed, but I have never heard her take care of him in the night. It warmed this women's heart to hear the love that was demonstrated and see the love this morning when I woke up!!

Thanks for the encouragement!
- who bothered whom first
- who is really telling the truth
- who has to put it away...the one that got it out or the one that last played with it
- what were they thinking
- are they really starving or can they wait 30 minutes until the next meal

I am going to college!!
Lastnight I went to take my college assessment test. I did much better than I ever imagined that I would! I figured that I would totally fail the pre-algebra part, but apparently reading Lauren's math book over the weekend really helped me! My score was a 99, which means that I just tested out of my first class!! I do not need to take pre-algebra!! I am not sure if I am smart or if the test was just easy, but I will take it however I got it! I got a 95 on the reading part and an 84 on the writing part. This is not a brag post I promise. I am just so surprised and excited at how well I did.
I may not be able to post for a while again. I am actually using my wonderful next door neighbor's computer for this post. Our computer has burned up...literally! Did you know that you should vacuum out your computer every now and then, or else the dust inside could over heat and catch fire? Neither did I, but I do now! Well if this had to happen, I will say that the timing was great. We were given a couple of gifts of money for Christmas, which means we will be able to afford to get a new computer at this time. I hope to be back to blog land real soon, but I must admit.....I am getting a lot done without the computer pulling me away from my duties.

I have a lot of catching up to do
Oh yeah...I never told you all what I did to myself the other day. I was closing the sliding door of our van and I shut my finger in it!! It was wierdest thing, I saw my finger before I felt the pain. I hurried and got it out and then it started to hurt. In fact it still hurts me, but I have great hope that it will stop hurting soon.
I hope to talk to you all again soon. Have a great day!

Want to join us?
I am joining Beth Moore and about 3000 other women in making this a Jesus year! We are going to be memorizing scripture together this whole year. You can read here Beth's original post all about the challenge. You get to pick your verse or verses on the 1st and the 15th of each month. I don't know about you, but I NEED to memorize scripture!! If I do this and stick to it...I will have at least 24 new verses put to memory!! I am so excited. Here is my verse for the next 2 weeks.

2008
I am borrowing this fun idea from a couple of blog friends. The idea is to write the first sentence from the first post of each month and a little update for the entire year of 2008.
