When the valley is deep, When the mountain is steep, When the body is weary, When we stumble and fall, When the choices are hard, When we're battered and scarred, When we've spent our resources, When we've given our all.......In Jesus Name, we Press On.......Dear Lord, with the prize clear before our eyes, We find the strength to Press On. ~Written by Dan Burgess~

Sometimes, I Just Simply Don't Get It......
You ever have a day where you 'just don't get it?' I'm having one of those moments.
And it's one of those moments that I think to myself, "I wish I was presently locked inside a rubber room". I think that would be very therapeutic for me.
It'd be like...... a vacation.
And I'm imagining that the room would be a nice white rubber room. (Taimi, it likely would be eggshell white.... think that'd be a good shade? Or should I go pearl white? What say you?)
And the padding on the walls would be clean.... really clean. Almost like it'd been sanitized. Maybe with Sanifoam.... lemon scented. (But not for my hair, Taimi; just for the walls.)
And maybe a strait-jacket thrown in there, too. Just so I don't, you know, bite my nails or gnaw off the ends of my fingers, pull out my hair, gouge my eyes out.
And meds.
I'd need meds.
But specifically, what kinds?
Besides Advil or some Tylenol 3's, I've only really had some heavy-duty stuff like Demerol and Morphine when I had kidney stone attacks and kidney surgery.... (Hey, FYI, getting it by I.V. is theeeeeeee beeeeeeest!!!!).
But there MUST be some other meds that they give you when you're in a rubber room. Those meds mentioned above are pain killers, for physical pain. Wouldn't you get some kind of medicine to sedate you? You know, make your mind all "floaty" and "space-like". I simply don't know. I know the Demerol and Morphine made me feel "floaty" and "space-like". Is that what I need? This is my first official public announcement that I need to be "rubber-roomed", so I really don't know WHAT I need.
Is there an L.A. group, like A.A.(Alcoholics Anonymous)? L.A. meaning Loonies Anonymous.
Hi, my name is Michelle, and I'm a Loonie. It has been five weeks since my last melt-down.
I mean, it's quite evident tonight, at least to ME, that I have apparently failed in the parenting department and in the supportive wife department, and even in the "sane human being" department!
Is it really that difficult to get even just a little tiny molecule-sized bit of respect around here? Sing it, girlfriend.
[insert long sigh here....]
You know what?
I feel better already just listening to that song.
But I still think I need a 'vacation' in a rubber room.
I'm sure there MUST be a Scripture reference somewhere in the Topical Index under "Loonie".
But.... the Bible says that we're here for a purpose. And I guess because I'm still alive, I haven't fulfilled that purpose yet. So.... I keep pressin' on??? I guess so.
Yaaaah.... THAT's what I needed.
No rubber room for tonight......
I don't have to "get it".... I just need to press on, whether I feel like it or not.
However, I might just keep that Sanifoam on hand.......
Okay girl, I'm comin' with ya! I've just about had it myself :( A vacay in a rubber room sounds awfully appealing right now...however, please leave the Sanifoam at home, just can't stand that smell. I'll bring "real" hairspray for ya :P
I am a Christian woman who is the full-time (or should I say 'over-time') wife of Jon and mother of Blake, Jacob, and Jared. We also have two babies who are already in Heaven. We have two Golden Retrievers, Mick & Duke, and a kitty-cat, Katarina. I also have a few boys that I consider my "adopted" sons (Matt, Billy, Brad, & Justin). Our oldest son is currently battling Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis; but the Lord's hands continue to rest on Blake, and we wait patiently for the healing. I am busy chauffeuring the boys to jobs and school events as well as the hockey rinks, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and fiddle performances (where we perform as Fiddlers Found). I am a huge fan of fiddle & bluegrass music as well as gospel & old hymns. Some of my favourite groups are Selah, The Isaacs, and The Martins. I am blessed with a loving family and wonderful friends, old and new. I am currently in the process of learning to be content in all circumstances, which is proving to be difficult by times, but by faith and the Lord's promises, I continue to "press on".
