In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Feeling Better

Filed under: General — Rachel at 6:16 pm on Saturday, August 27, 2005

Finally! Hallelujah. It’s so nice to not feel sick. I still felt a little bit bad this morning, but, now, I’m feeling fine. So, yay for that!
I went grocery shopping today, and bought actual groceries. I had been just running out for this and that. Today, though, I wrote out a menu for the week to come, and bought real groceries. We have officially became a “two gallon of milk a week and maybe more” family. I can’t believe the amount of milk that Elijah alone can go through. Both the kids refuse to drink plain milk, but they gulp it down if you put a little Ovaltine in it. Elijah is constantly asking, “Choc?”. He will drink two sippy cups full…back-to-back…in five minutes, if you let him. Anyway…off on a tangent there.
So, after I got home and put the groceries away, I made vegetable soup. It was really good. After being sick, soup sounded good to me. I hadn’t really ate much of anything the past couple of days. Mostly toast. I have not felt so sick so often since I was pregnant with Elijah. I scrapped the meds, though, and am going to make my doctor prescribe me something different. I can’t handle being sick so much.
My house is a mess again. It takes no time at all for the house to deteriorate around me, especially when I lay on the couch for two days straight. So, tonight, I really need to get the mountain of laundry washed, dried, folded, and put away, and clean up the kitchen. I have had to resort to washing my dishes by hand, as my dishwasher has not been working well. The dishes are coming out nearly as dirty as they went in. I dont’ know what’s up with that, but I wish Chris would fix it. I don’t like doing dishes.
Tomorrow is church, so that is cool. Chris should hopefully get to go tomorrow morning, if he isn’t too sleepy. (He’s working tonight.) Bro. Bret asked him to preach tomorrow morning, as Bro. Bret is sick, but Chris didn’t think he could do it with so little time to prepare, and having to be at work all night. He was kind of bummed, I think. It seems he has to turn down nearly every opportunity he’s had to preach lately, because he is having to work all of the time. I really hope something happens with his work situation soon, because all of this working, while good to our bank account, is not so good for the rest of our life.
So, I just thought I would give a little update. I’m going to put some laundry in, and hopefully get enough done tonight to be able to come back and blog my story for y’all. Big Brother is being pre-empted by a football game, so I won’t be watching that. So, until next time…
