Odds and Ends

Today I feel terrible. I went up from 184 to 189 and it is not from eating anything extra. My head feels funny today and I am battling headaches and nausea. So, from this I assume that my added weight is from water retention. I am trying to drink water to flush it out, but it just seems to be sticking with me I don't get it. If you think of me please say a prayer that I can change my eating habits and feel better, heart problems are very strong in my family and I don't want to follow along those steps.

Because of the 4th of July, my dh might have to work tomorrow instead of having it off like he normally would (he works 4 ten hour shifts). I hope not though because I love having him home with us.

I was looking at the tire treads on my dh's car last night (it is one of our faith-mobiles) and they are really thin, so I am going to try to get the money saved up to buy new tires in the next couple of months.

As we are starting our new creditcard-less way of life I realize what a faith-walk it is. Before if we needed tires or anything we would just pull out our magic plastic card and I would pretend that we would pay it off when the bill came, ha-ha! But now as we are trying to take care of life's needs and NOT use any credit, it takes a lot of trust in the Lord to provide for us. As yet we haven't been able to actually save anything, the children needed summer clothes and we had a couple ER visits etc. So I tend to want to get discouraged. I just try to remind myself that even though we don't yet have any savings, we aren't racking up debt either. And God is so good! He takes care of us and guides us through each day!
