The Realtors that came by were doing a preview for their clients - WE PASSED the cut! So I'm glad I was able to get it close to show ready for them to come today! They're going to bring their clients on Saturday! PTL!!
On Howie - he's got the hypoglycemic tendency - mainly because he NEVER *quite literally* eats sweets! The sweetest he eats is maybe a soda - but he has always preferred diet - occasionally he'll go w/ a slushie - but again - a VERY rare treat! So the Easter candy - and the fact that I was like "I'm going to be the best mom in the world and not make them eat a healthy breakfast" I remember thinking my mom sucked for feeding me an omelet on Easter morning! Apparently she's not as sucky as me! LOL!
Just have to make sure he gets some good food in w/ his holiday treats in the future! He told me today he was never going to eat chocolate again - I cried, that was a painful thing for someone like me to hear..it's like blaspheme!
So - It's interesting - just last night I was praying about various things - faith & whatnot - questioning if I really did get the "okay" to buy a house - knowing when I bought it - not even having faith, but KNOWING - that I didn't even need faith because I trusted that HF would take care of it, I just KNEW it would be okay - since I got the "okay" to buy - so last night I'm wondering "why did you give me the okay? was it just in my head - do I even know what inspiration is?"
So tonight as I was talking w/ the love of my life - it occurred to me - since the whole thing was a blur - and what was the rush? He's been low on his oxygen before, and quite literally - I wasn't worried about his breathing - I watched him, he looked fine - he wasn't exhibiting any signs of asthma, except for being lethargic...no wheezing, no coughing...so WHY would I take him in? Normally I would just try and get some steroids off the black market - but I called Ross & told him I better take Howie in - it was eminent - if I didn't take him in then, he'd be in later - and better to do it when the kids were in school - than try to juggle dinner, etc - so I took him in - quite literally if I took him much later, he'd have slipped too far to come back. Why did I take him in? I don't remember a loud or even quiet voice telling me this was urgent? I just did it.
It occurred to me that I was inspired and instead of spending time trying to say "oh look, the Holy Ghost is saying something to me" I acted - not even questioning - until tonight - why I did it. I know I was inspired to take him in. I'm so glad I didn't rationalize myself out of it. I think promptings are different for everyone, for me the inspiration isn't a slap in the face wake up - but more of a sure thing, a "gimme". Which is totally not like the "normal" me who says "he'll be okay - let him rest a few hours" or "ohhh - that's going to be a hefty bill" (note - major medical deductible insurance only!!) so yah - then when the realtor came through - and told us we made the cut - it just all made me realize that my prayer last night was answered. No, this might not be the buyer, BUT, it all slammed me this morning - everything I asked for in my prayer, everything I wanted to know about, everything I wanted explained - it all happened to me - and the fact that the realtor didn't knock until the SECOND I put that windex up... I'm glad I'm not so hardened that I didn't recognize that. I'm so thankful that Heavenly Father knows that I apparently NEED to experience the answers to my prayer...they seem to sit with me longer! He's a smart guy! He really knows me!
I'm going to pass out now! LOL!
