Woke up in the middle of the night with a headache and it didn't go away until late morning. Got up and then ended up going back to bed for a while in hopes that my headache went away. Thankfully, when I woke up for the 2nd time, I was feeling much better.

I did something really cool with my Crop-A-Dile today!! I was looking through a scrapbook catalog and saw these really neat ribbon boxes. They came with dowel rods to put spools of ribbon on and then there were holes on the sides to stick the ribbon through. I started thinking....I store my ribbon in those cardboard photo storage boxes, some pretty ones that I picked up for real cheap at Micheals quite a while ago. I think I paid maybe 1.00 or 1.25 for them. The boxes in the catalog were 4.95 each. Well, I knew Mark had dowel rods down in the basement so I sent Adam down to cut some for me to fit the inside dimensions of my boxes. I the took my Crop-A-Dile and punched holes all along the edge of my box, lining them up with each roll of ribbon. It was SO easy!! I used the farthest depth that the Crop-A-Dile punches and so the ribbon comes out just under the edge of the lid, which hold the ribbon in place. I am pretty proud of myself for figuring that out and now I have two awesome ribbon storage boxes and that were much cheaper than I could have bought them for!

Went to my Beth Moore Daniel Bible study today and it was another great session, but my, did it make me think. This past week of homework and the next are going to be quite challenging. Speaking of which...I haven't done my daily WOL quiet time yet today, so I guess I had better wrap it up here and get to it!

Dinner Tonight: Tuna Noodle Casserole

Busy day today. We had to be at church early because Jared had to practice singing with the other teens and I had worship team. We had our yearly missions dinner right after church and just about the time we turned onto St. Clair, I realized that my dessert was still at home. ARG! So, after worship team practice, I went back home to get it. I missed Jared's first song, but got back in time to hear half of the 2nd one. Adam stayed home sick today so he missed the mission dinner. He felt kinda sick to his stomach and was running a low grade fever. There was a short program after the dinner and by the time we got home, he was feeling better.

We had a Word of Life meeting this afternoon and the Hembrees and Sherry came over to our house, so Adam, Travis and Jared hung out for a while.

Since the time changed yesterday it was dark today around 6PM, UGH! It was a beautiful sunny day so it really should have stayed light longer, but I guess even if we hadn't of changed time it still would have been dark at 6PM because that would have been the time we would have been on all along. It is just going to take a bit of time getting used to it getting dark earlier now. I liked it better when it was staying light later!

Dinner Tonight: Popcorn

I am so frustrated today. Trying to get my 360 page set up is taking me forever and well, it just hasn't been a good day. What I really want to do is just go and take a nap, but at this time by the time I get to sleep it will be time to wake up and make dinner. ARG! Oh well, what I really need to be doing is my Beth Moore Daniel Bible study. It is getting more tough as time goes on, but I know it will be worth it.

Adam's waterbed fell apart again, and so we went and looked at new beds today. Didn't buy anything, because the more we thought about and talked to the guy at the waterbed store, I think it can be fixed. Sounds like Mark will need to buy larger brackets and longer screws to hold it together. So, until that happens, Adam doesn't have a bed, which doesn't make him very happy. I guess we have to get it drained first and then we will see what happens from there.

It is SO windy today, we are even under a wind advisory. At least the sun is out and the temp is 46 right now, so that isn't bad for nearly the end of October. Our time will change tonight so we will get an extra hour of sleep, but since we have to be to church about 30 minutes early, it won't make that much difference. {sigh}

Dinner Today: Salad
