Brenda's Blog, January 12, 2005

 

I'm actually writing this blog on the night of the 11th, but after a day like today I don't think that waking up at 5:15 sounds very reasonable.  As I told you all earlier, Noah began the day with diarrhea.  After lunch, Isaac began vomiting, and after dinner, Kaleb joined in.  We've been carpet cleaning, scrubbing, changing diapers and outfits an jammies, serving Pedialyte, doing laundry, washing out tubs of vomit, etc.  What a night!  The boys seem to be calm now, so I will write quickly.

In the news today, Consumer Reports seems to be an advocate of Planned Parenthood and abortion.  They claim to be a magazine with "no agenda," and yet, their February issue compares birth control methods and includes abortion.  Sad!  On a similar note, people are invited to talk about ways of making sure all pregnancies are wanted pregnancies on the From Left to Right Blog Spot.  I encourage you all to join in on the discussions!  Interestingly, all pregnancies are wanted pregnancies, by God!  Wasn't He the one who said "Be fruitful and multiply"?

The stories about the mudslide in California are so incredibly sad!  Be praying that God would be comforting these families.

We are not TV watchers at all (we have no cable and no reception, by our choice), and we don't usually play videos for our kids.  Tonight was an exception to the rule as our kids were zombies and unable to really play with any toys or books (they were vomiting so often).  We played two good videos for the kids.  First, they saw Charlotte's Web which was one of my favorites as a kid.  I cry at the end, and I love the last line.  It goes something like this: "it's not often that you find somebody who is a good friend and a good writer, and Charlotte was both."  That's so cute!  The kids also got to watch a short video about Joseph and his brothers.  It was a NEST Video that I picked up from a garage sale once.  I like this video because it appears to be pretty Biblically accurate.  If my kids are going to watch a video (which I can assure you will not be happening very often!), this is a good one to watch.

After the kids fell asleep, Karry and I watched a bit of Little House on the Prairie Season 4  which we picked up from the library.  More reviews will be coming soon in our Little House on the Prairie Review Section, so be on the lookout!
