hello!  each day is getting better as i knew it would.  for those of you who have prayed we would seek God, a man in a suit and tie appeared on my doorstep this morning.  I was getting ready upstairs and I hear "knock, knock, knock".  I immediately froze.  I never answer my door unless I am expecting someone.  I ran to look out the window and saw my husband's car...whew he must be home early- forgot something he needed or something.  I ran downstairs and before I opened the door I peeked through the blind to be sure it was him.  It wasn't.  For some reason Josh took my car to work and so when I saw his car in our driveway it didn't mean he was home it meant he had my car!  Well I closed the blind quick after I saw the man and ran upstairs.  My poor children-they think it is normal to not answer your door or your phone when you get a knock or ring but in this day and age you can't be too careful.  I waited on the man to leave and a couple hours later I went outside and there it was.  The Jehovah's witness pamphlet.  Is this God? 

Later that afternoon I was walking around doing my thing and I noticed that our back screen was left cracked open.  Thought oh crap I need to shut that and when I went to shut it I found this lying in the middle of the living room floor:

 

No kidding.  I found a dead baby rabbit.  I screamed and ran into the kitchen where all three kids met me.  I explained that their was a rabbit in our house and they all started to cry.  I apologized for over reacting and got them to calm down.  Once I got my head on straight I realized it had to have been Lady, our dog.  SHe is part retriever.  She retrieved alright.  I explained to the kids what retriever meant and that Lady was actually doing a good thing!  Bringing us dinner!  Ella said "  I am NOT eating the eyeballs if you cook that." 

 

Ella was standing on top of our dining room table with tears streaming down her face.  I went to console her and asked her what was wrong.  She explained that she felt bad for the rabbit becasue it was just a baby and she was worried that it's mama was looking for it.  I was thinking the same thing.  Emma said "Aw, Ella it's OK the rabbit got to go to Heaven and meet Jesus."  Ella shouted "  No it didn't it's in our living room."  Emma bursted into laughter.  Oh gosh it was hilarious.

 

I was too eeked out to be able to take it outside so I waited on Josh to get home from work.  Pathetic, I know.  Don't judge!  I told the kids to stay out of that room until Dad got it out of there.  The next thing I know Ella is laying by the rabbit examining it!  Geesh!  COULD this get any more crazy.  We all shared another laugh-can you imagine how dull my days would be if my kids were away at regular school? :-D

 

Well, it gets better.  As we proceeded with doing our school work Ella couldn't help but keep her eyes fixed on that rabbit.  SHe came back and reported to me that the rabbit was gone.  GONE!  Sure enough, it was gone.  Well, Lady brought it in the dining room.  She was so proud of that thing I think she wanted to make sure I saw it.  So it spent the rest of the afternoon in my dining room where the girls threw a box over it.  Out of sight, out of mind...right?

 

OK-the kids are going crazy-I need to get them settled and asleep.  Yes, it's almost midnight and all my kids are awake.  AND I have not done laundry for exactly 2 weeks because the dryer hook-up does not work at our new house.  We are not wearing underwear...

 

HELP!

 

hAVE A RIP ROARING FANTASTIC DAY ALL!
