Beds


pic location




Pro 7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

Pro 7:17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

Pro 31:22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry ; her clothing is silk and purple.

well ladies- it sounds like the bed is an important piece of furniture. what does yours look like? topped with laundry waiting to be put away? a child's teddy bear in it? is it made?

i guess we all know what we need to do now don't we?!

don't get me started on song of solomon!!!!

today

well today started out with a bang! rather a punch. my 1 1/2 yr old sleeps with me and he punched me in the eye to wake me up!! i have noticed my eye hurting the past week and now i realized it is probably becuz Andrew punches me there daily!!!

a short while after i got up i walked over to a yard sale and bought a 3 tier rolling metal teacart for $2. i plan to paint it and use it for plants :) 4 yr old jamison walked away with a complete train set and tracks for only a dollar!

then we went to town when my dh got home from work. a 20 minute drive of screaming from the baby and sighing from mommy. we actually were supposed to go to the living history farms for mother's day today but i knew the car ride would be like this so i chose to go another time. this was bad enuf!!!

we bought beds for all the kids who needed them desperately ( thank you tax refund) and took the kids to the library and park. then we ate out :)

the evening was spent rearranging bedrooms lol

everyone is asleep now and i plan to be soon- so good night all!
