My little Jacob

Oh my child cracks me up. It is one of the most hilarious things to me to hear MY expressions coming out of his mouth...it also shows me exactly how Doug and I talk, because we are living with a little mina-bird.

Yesterday I said, okay, buddy, time to brush your teeth! And he said, "Are you kidding me?" I about fell over laughing. Doug said something (muttering about the TV program that was on or something) which I won't repeat (wasn't THAT bad) but Jacob said it word for word. I looked at Doug and I was like, um, THAT's gotta stop!

About 2 weeks ago, he was playing with a puzzle right in the walkway. I asked him to pick it up and move it. He ignored me. So I asked him again, and told him he would get a spanking if he didn't move it. He just looked at me. So he got a swat. Nothing. Finally, he said, (in a voice dripping with sarcasm) "Okay, I'll do my job." How can you not laugh???

I've been writing stuff down on the calendar so I don't forget these things...good idea from my sister Lori. Jacob has a little cold right now, so PLEASE PRAY that it goes away FAST and I don't get it. I have a lot I want to do this week!!!

Update on me: my back is doing much better...after 3 chiropractic treatments...I go back Thursday or Friday. The Fosamax didn't make me nearly as sick this Sunday as last, and I'm doing okay strength wise. Yay!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!!

Glad YOU are feeling better. I felt so bad for you.

If you're not familiar with the story of Hosea and Gomer in the Bible, it's really quite shocking.  Here's my brief synopsis...
