Glad to hear your husband is doing better. I’m the worst patient myself, but Janette soldiers on when sick. Seems like everyone is more sick this season (true for us, and the work bugs sound nastier over the cubicles), so hope you & family are spared for the most part.

Renae, my husband is better today. And how lucky to have a husband who makes you veggie soup! Grace, you know, it's hard to remember that God is good all the time, especially when your circumstances are trying and your mind is clouded with fear. But I have to remember that it is true, and I have to remember all the past times that He has been good and has provided. Mrs. Darling, I just laughed out loud at the mushing myself. The dog isn't very big (though neither are the children) and their plan didn't work too well, but the whole set up was hilarious and precious. JHS, Your story about your Auntie's boxer is fabulous, and all the better that it was captured on video!! What a riot! My husband is feeling better, thanks.

Hi Jenny:

Ok, I am ROFL here because it all sounds very familiar.

Esp. the dog part. My sister and cousins actually hitched my aunt’s boxer up to the wagon once and put me in the wagon. Then he pulled me around (I was the youngest and lightest). My aunt didn’t know until years later. My cousins were supposed to be babysitting the dog. (Auntie never had kids.) After we were all grown up and transferred my father’s black and white super 8 movies to videotape, she came to visit and just about wet her pants laughing so hard at the movies of that dog pulling me around. If she had known at the time, she would have killed us, though. :-)

Hang in there! Hubby will be better soon, I’m sure.

And thanks for contributing this post to this week’s edition of the Carnival of Family Life, hosted at Confessions of a Novice. The Carnival will be live on Monday, January 28, 2008, so be sure to stop by and check out all of this week’s excellent submissions!

Okay I feel bad for your husband and all but really making the dogs mush is just hilarious!

Hope your husband feels better soon. You are right Jen, God is good all the time. I just sometimes forget that, bad, bad me.

Hope your hubby gets better soon. My husband is the poor soul who gets to hear our whining. It kind of makes him feel like a hero though. He rescues us from our flu/cold/I-don’t-know-what-we-have misery by making up veggie soup. I should have told him to put garlic in it. :)

I’m glad your son wasn’t thrown in jail for mentioning his illegal owl feathers. That is crazy!
