Sunday 1/3/10 toilet in upstairs bathroom frozen and out of commission for the 3rd winter since we've lived in this 2004 constructed house.
Monday 1/4/10 skidded into the ditch while trying to get to a pampered chef meeting and praying constantly to not hit the telephone pole that was in front of me.
Tuesday 1/5/10 dropped tire on my foot while trying to take it to get fixed from the above mention ditch meeting
Wednesday 1/6/10 snow storm coming. Ken pulled an all-nighter. He went to bed Thursday night at 7pm on the couch after being up 36 hours
Thursday 1/7/10 snowblower has flat tire unable to finish the drive way until hours later. My brother-in-law's mother passed away. Hole needed to be put in wall of bathroom to thaw out pipe with space heater.
Friday 1/8/10 set up the scrip table at school and only sold $5.
It seems that if I ended this post here my 2010 is looking pretty bleak but that's part of the NEW ADVENTURE. Here's what I've learned from this:
The country of Norway or somewhere really, really cold makes great stretchable, flexible pipes so they can freeze numerous times without breaking
Praying will get me through anything and the Lord does protect me even when I don't talk to Him as much as I should
My foot can withstand a great amount of weight on it without breaking and a bruised foot in snow boot is not seen by anyone
Ken may be able to pull and all-nighter but I am not cut out to be a single parent and I should thank him for sticking with me through all that I have to offer him!
Shopping locally helps when you need someone to put air in a tire that is off the rim for free! A hole is a small price to pay for a working toilet. However long it was when I spoke or saw someone last it still saddens my heart to have someone depart from those we love, although it makes it bearable knowing that the struggles someone is going through on earth will be no more in Heaven!
And lastly, getting out of the house and trying to do something good needs to be enough of a reward.
What a week!

Janay, it sounds like God is stretching you and seeing how you're going to handle things. I'm sure He's glad to see that you're keeping a positive attitude and giving him the glory for all things!! Keep smiling! Love you!
