I took my husband to the hospital today. He was having chest pain. They immediately gave him an EKG, everything looks great there, his blood work is good, and everything else is ok too.
But they kept him there for observation overnight, which is a good thing, I guess, but I have not ever spent a night alone on this house since we have been married. I'm lonely, scared, and everything is hitting me all at once.... right now.
I mean, I know he is going to be alright, but it is so empty here without him. If I didn't have the children to watch over, I would have stayed right by his side all night long. He even pulled his covers up and said, "Come on, Honey..." and I was so very tempted to!
And I called off work tonight (6p-6a shift) because of this, and more than likely wil tomorrow too, just to be with him. (Pretty bad when I only work 3 days a week, huh?)


I just miss my hubby, is all.


Would it be too childish to ask for prayer for him? And for me tonight?

Finished up some jammies for Logan today

Is he not cute?



I'm lucky to have such a good lookin' youngin' here in my house! :)


He was so excited about these jammies. I told him that they were for another boy about his size, but when I asked him to try on the finished product and he saw his name embroidered on the pocket,  I thought he was going to have a fit! LOL!


He wants to be like big brother Seve and be in the Army. I told him that we'd send Steve some pics of him in his new jammies... I think big brother Steve would like that, wouldn't ya ,Steve?


By the way...keep him in your prayers along with all the other servicemen and women. Our Steve is in Iraq somewhere. *WE LOVE YOU SON!!!*

Anyhoo~ things are fairly quiet at the Hatfield House for the moment. I just finished my homework and have it posted. Beautiful grand daughter stayed the night and is sleeping peacefully. Hubby and children are snuggled in their beds.... the storms last night hit us, but it wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be. I laid awake in the bed listening to the tornado alarms go off, gently nudging a snoring husband to get him to wake up and tell me everything was going to be alright. (I'm a chicken!) But nothing was severe around here, thank God!


I do need to get some household things done tomorrow, like cooking and cleaning! LOL! And stay off my sewing machine for awhile! But I think I am going to get some cutting things out done, and I have a package to send overseas and one to Colorado, and I gotta get some bills paid!


So I imagine I had better say goodnight and I pray that you are all blessed with peace and prosperity this week!

Getting ready to storm....

A rain shower is about to come soon. There's thunder and lightening outside, and it is unseasonably warm.


Does anyone else remember the winters we USED to have? That started in October with snow and when Spring began in March? Or is that just a figment of my imagination?


Been busy with sewing lately.


Made a bunch of underwear for the men in my life (dh and 10y/o son), and have some pajama fabric cut out for a pair of warm flannel jammies for my young man...


Made Abby a top today...


 and have done a few odds and ends, here and there.


Tomorrow I must rise and shine early, cause we have a funeral to go to, and I must make a dish to take. A "founding" member of our church went home to be with the Lord about a week ago.


Wouldn't hurt to pre-wash some more fabric I have so when the urge hits.....


Beautiful gd is coming again tomorrow, so we must prepare for that too.



What a life I have! Full of so many joys and blessings!


My devotion for today asked me if I would be just as happy working for God in a totally insignifigant manner.  Would I be happy knowing I had done my best for Him? Or would I be upset not being in the "limelight"?


I think I am happiest being in the background and working for the Lord. As long as He guides me, I am satisfied with my life and what He gives me.


Thank You God for blessing me beyond measure.... You are so good... ALL the time! :)
