Check out the cute doodads I added to Ian's scrapbook. (The doodads I used were a bit different - white polka dots on blue instead of the stripes and one 3d bottle and a yellow duckie.)

we are still experiencing 100 degree weather!!! God has a purpose for me here, God has a purpose for me here, God has a purpose for me here! I just keep reminding myself. I often wonder how I ended up here, of all places! Your fall stories remind me of my childhood in Connecticut and all the crisp weather and kicking leaves on my way to school - visits to area landmarks just for the excuse to get out in the fall weather - colors and smells. And to think my kids will not know this! Argh! Well, I know the Lord will bless them with their own wonderful memories for their later life.
Wow that sounded like I was whining, huh? Well maybe a little?
You know, this reminds me of a thought I had during our Sunday School this last weekend. We are studying about Israel and so we started at the beginning. Literally in Genesis. I won't go into it all, well most of it went over my head anyway, as I was trying to keep Ian happy and quiet, but anyway . . . We were reading about the garden of eden and how food was abundant, and how the promised land was to flow with milk and honey, etc. and it just dawned on me - we are to enjoy life! Sounds silly, but I think it is a distinction that needs to be made. (Of course we were created in His image and to worship Him. Our sin did/does "mess up" a great thing, eh? ) But also, God has provided us with specific pleasant blessings. Delicious and abundant foods (that now we have to work for) :-) and a beautiful world to live in. Just an interesting perspective to take with you in your day. Something wonderful to think about as we do the "mundane" chores and poopie duties!

So am I totally on fire, or what!?!
"Dear Sir or Madam:
During the month of May 2002, I was prescribed by Dr. C-- to have several Fetal Non-Stress tests due to Gestational Diabetes and Lupus. On July 18th, when it became apparent that these claims were not being billed consistently, I contacted L-- at WGA--. She informed me that BMH- - had not been correctly billing these claims under the aforementioned diagnoses. She suggested that I contact the billing department at BMH--, inform you of the errors and provide her fax number to expedite resubmission of said claims.
On July 18th, I spoke with S-- at BMH--, who assured me that these claims would be re-billed properly by T--. To date, I have no record of any such action on the part of anyone at BMH--. In fact, we have been repeatedly harassed by the collection company currently in use by BMH--, despite our complaints to the collection company as well as the BMH-- Billing Department and despite the fact that these claims are in dispute. I assure you that no payments will be made until the claims are all re-processed correctly. Please rectify this situation immediately."
Sizzle! TSSSSSSsss . . . . can't touch me!
