~Some help, and some quotes from Noah!~

Thank you ladies for praying. God helped me to have a GOOD DAY YESTERDAY, THURSDAY, and I got a lot of my work done that I needed to get done. ALSO, a dear lady from one of our churches came over and helped me for 6 hours, and she got A LOT done too! She worked like a busy beaver and was literally running some of the time for she wanted to get as much done as possible before she left. So, now I have all clean laundry, and a clean house! YEA!
We've asked her to come and help me once a week for now until I can get feeling better. She is thrilled to have this job, for she is a single Mother and has been praying that God would give her some work where she wouldn't have to work on Sunday, and where she could wear skirts. We told her that next time she can bring her children with her, so that our girls can watch them, and she doesn't have to pay a babysitter while she's working here. She's very Thankful for this answer to prayer, and SO AM I! =)~Her youngest daughter, whom my girls LOVE to pieces!~
Today we had Cracked wheat cereal for breakfast, and I put some hot chocolate powder in it, to make it more yummy (and less healthy =). I put Noah's STEAMING bowl in front of him, and he tried to take a VERY HOT BITE.... SPITTING IT BACK OUT! I then told my kids that I had put HOT chocolate in it. Noah said, "OH, is that why it's soooo HOT?" =D~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The other night Sarah and Noah were sleeping in Noah's bed together. I came into their room to make sure they were covered up and to kiss them. Noah (who had had a nap) was still lying there awake. When I leaned over Noah to tell him goodnight and kiss his cheek he pointed at Sarah, and said, "The other one's asleep!" It cracked us up for he didn't say, "Sarah is asleep, or my sister is already asleep," but he said, "THE OTHER ONE'S asleep!" He's crazy.~~~~~~~~~~~
Poor Noah is not used to his mother being sick all of the time. In the last few days he has heard me say, "I'm sooo sick," or "I'm sick as a DOG," A LOT. He also hears me ask for special things like GUM saying, "I'm soooo sick!" So, he's learned that if he says he's soooo sick, he might get little favors too. =D Late one Saturday night I was lying in bed and was sooo nauseated. I knew I needed to eat something, but couldn't figure out what I wanted to eat. Finally, I thought of it...I wanted some sliced cucumbers with salt! So, since Phillip was still awake downstairs I asked him if he could PLEASE peel and slice a cucumber for me. Noah who was still awake, agreed that he wanted a cucumber too! So, I covered my head with my blankets (for it's chilly here and I always sleep that way) and then a few minutes later I happened to uncover my head and there stood a very quiet Noah holding a pink plate full of sliced/salted cucumbers, looking around wondering WHERE he should put them. I sat up and asked him if he wanted to join Mommy in my bed and eat some cucumbers and he said, "YES, because I AM SICK AS A DOG!" =)
