| Bike trip blogMost of you have probably heard that my family and I will be going on a long (2,000+ miles) bike trip leaving April 30th. If you'd like to read about it please visit www.xanga.com/fivebikingbruces . There is info there now and it will be being update throughout our trip. It won't be everyday, as we aren't likely to have internet access that frequently. But I hope at least every couple of days. | | |
| Prayer request updateMelissa's surgery was postponed till tomorow. I babysat the kids 1-7 today cause the surger was supposed to be happening at 3. It kept geting postponed till eventually they just said tomorow. Aparently the surgery that the surgeon had going before Melissa's was having major complications, or at least time consuming ones. That was why they couldn't do the surgery, ya gotta have a surgeon to have a surgery! | | |
| Please pray!:EDIT: Scheduling has changed. The surgery is now 3-5PM today
Another prayer request, but this one is more urgent.
Today at 10-12, Melissa, mother of the triplets I take care of, will be having surgery. I can't really explain it well but it is for removing some scar tissue that is somehow affecting her lungs. Liquid has been filling up around her one lung (or maybe both, I don't remember) and compressing it. Obviously, making it not be able to work. I'm not sure exactly how serious is it, but I know that its NOT minor. I'll be watching her kids so that the grandmother (who has been staying with them this week during all this) can be at the hospital. | | |
| Please pray for Ruth's familyYesturday when we went to visit the residents at the nursing home we found out that one, Ruth, was dying. We had known that her health was declining, but had no idea that she was that bad, this soon. We got to see her, she was unresponsive, but maybe God let her know we were there. I called today and found out that she died this morning. Please keep her family in your prayers, I know that she has at least one son and daughter-in-law. Also please pray for us, this is the first person that my 11 year old sisters have known that has died. We'll be going to her funeral, though I have to find out when it is. | | |
| Why I don't like doors that lock automaticallyI first posted this yesturday on Facebook and I'm just getting around to post it here. Read away:
Today I was at a birthday party for one of the kids I babysit. It was being held at a building that they were renting a big room in. The only door that we had use of was one that locked behind you automaticaly, from their you went down a set of stairs and through another door. So I stood at the door and let people in as they came. Also if you shut the door just right you could make it not latch all the way and not lock. Near the end of the party one of the familys had to leave early and had just walked out the door to leave and we realized that they hadn't gotten their party favors. So I ran after them, being careful to make the door not latch. As you can probably guess, the door did latch, and therefor, lock. I delivered the favors, they left and I tried to go back in... Of course I couldn't. Oh shoot! I thought. I knew that you couldn't really hear anyone at the door from inside the party room, but I didn't think it would be long before someone came out or did hear my knocking... Time went by and no one could hear me banging on the door, I didn't have my cell phone, keys or coat, all of those were inside! I had no way of letting anyone know I was still out there! And there were enough people at the party that no one noticed I was missing. TWENTY minutes later, finally a dad came out to smoke. I told him, "I'm not normally a fan of smoking, but I am SO glad that you are taking a smoke break!"
After I got back inside and rejoined the party, one of the kids suggested playing hide and seek. I jokingly suggested the spot that no one would find you, outside the door!
BTW- I am very thankful that the weather today was not freezing. It was in the mid 40's I think. As far as winter days to get locked outside on, today was a good one. | | |
