***A Day in the Life of the Watsons!***: I hate this time change!

This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

I hate this time change!

Getting to sleep at night has been a big problem with Preston lately, and then this time change? It was murder last night. He couldn't get to sleep, finally at 2 a.m. this morning I was so tired I fell to sleep and he was still calling but I didn't hear him. Jr. has a cold and has been coughing the past 2 days (which is nerve wrecking too, LOL) and he was up because of coughing and heard Preston calling. Preston asked him for a benedryl, so Jr. gave him one, on top of all the meds. I had given him, and he finally went to sleep around 2:30 maybe. But he didn't get up until noon, ate and went back to sleep until 3:30. Now I am up hoping and praying he will go to sleep soon as I am tired. It is after 11 now, and I want to go to bed. I cannot function without proper rest.

This evening Missie and I went to her best friend's church. Missie had been there before when Preston was in hospital and one family had sent us a love offering, and they have been praying for Preston. Missie has been downhearted and I knew it would be good for her to see Kelly and be with her. By the time we left for home, she was once again smiling, and the church took up a love offering for us. There was a very small crowd, about 15 or so, and they gave over $70. Then the pastor said to make it on up to $100. Isn't that amazing? This was not Jr.'s week to get paid, and by the way, I hate his getting paid every 2 weeks, instead of every week, so we were low on money. God is so good. Anyhow, the service blessed us both, and Missie and I talked on the way home and we prayed. She is really confused right now. Confused and depressed about life in general, with all of its struggles, with Preston's illness, etc. etc. and doesn't feel like the Lord loves her. It was encouraging for her to sing a special tonight at her friend's church; and then a young man preached, and it was like he knew what she was feeling. So God knows what we need when we need it. I am going to take more time to pray with Missie and do devotionals with her; that has always helped in the past and I know it will encourage her again. Our ship has been rocked for sure, and she just needs the little extra help.

So I am impatiently waiting for Preston to fall asleep. Because if I don't, as soon as I lay down he will be calling and I will hear him over the monitor. I am very tired, so I hope it is soon.
