All I Need is 10 Hours and Prayer

Well, after a month and a half of being at home I am taking on a project for the company I worked for. It only is about 10 hours a week and mainly takes place every quarter or so. I was thrilled to get the call because it allows me to do something that I enjoy, keeps me slightly invloved in the work force and will bring in a little extra income for more house updating and stuff like that.

The Meeks family could really use your prayers for some health issues. Jeremy has struggled over the past month with some health concerns that dont need to be detailed on our blog, but tommorrow he goes to a specialist that we have waited a month to get into. We hope that it is nothing big and just what the doctor thinks it is. I know both of us try not to think the worst, but sometimes our brains wander and we cant help it. Keep Jeremy in your prayers as he is nervous about the test and the results.

Since I have been at home more, I have found that my brain has more time to wander. Maybe it is being a woman, or all the bad things that you see on T.V. or the sadness you see in daily life but I am having a hard time sleeping at all. I get about three to four hours a night and that is dream or nightmare filled. It isnt easy on me and I know the tossing and turning is hard on J. I have taken some sleeping pills but that make it hard to function the next day because I feel drugged and still I dream all night long. This has been about four weeks now and I am just ready for relief but have no answer. I pray and talk to J about it but nothing seems to help slow my brain or my body. No matter how tired I am at the end of the day when I lay down it is like my eyes are glued open. It just sucks!

There is not a whole lot of news with Chloe. She enjoys wearing pig tails, eating "naaaacksss", saying the word "nanee" (nasty) when I change her diapers,talking on the phone, reading books, playing with "Laally" (Lilly) running to daddy when he gets home from work, unloading the pan drawers in the kitchen, the movie Singing in the Rain and being at home with mommy.
She does not like napping, although that is getting better, mushrooms, daddy leaving for work, being strapped in her car seat. She was able to get the straps off her shoulders which she liked but after watching the video of Kyle David Miller mommy put a fix on that problem. Her hat she has to wear when it is cold, or naptime...did I mention that already.

Well I better post a few pictures to keep all three of you happy. :) Chloe wants her boyfriends to know she appreciated all the comments on her last blog, she gets more that I do. Now off to get some of the 10 hours of work done! :)
