I’m just gonna let go the breath and relax a little. Laurie’s little girl will come when she’s good & ready. Meanwhile, their pediatrician has put the boys on an antibiotic. Carter has a runny nose, fever & cough. He wants all of them well before Marlee K gets here. Mamaw is hoping for a little red-haired valentine baby.

Work, work, work. My day at the plant starts about 6:30 and ends about 5:00. Who has time for anything else? But this weekend is the Rita Sweatt Women’s Conference at Harrisburg. She’s a marvelous Bible study leader and I’m looking forward to Friday night & Saturday morning. (Since she’s waited this long, maybe Marlee Cupcake will put off her appearance until at least Saturday afternoon.)

Speaking of cupcakes. That’s one of the gifts I gave Laurie at her shower. This pregnancy she’s been craving Rose McCly’s cupcakes from Creative Cakes. In fact, while she was still working, she’d call to see if I needed a ride in the afternoons. Being sweet to her Mama? NO! I’m just so close to Rose and she could run in for a fix, uh, cupcake.

Katey is leading chapel at TCPS (Tupelo Christian Preparatory School) during the month of February. I have the utmost respect for most public schools and public school teachers, but there’s a very different atmosphere in the private Christian schools I’m familiar with. You couldn’t have a Bible-based chapel in a public school. And where else could this happen: At Hebron, where Molly teaches, 12 junior high kids were saved during one chapel after some high school kids gave their testimonies.

TTYL. Please pray for Laurie & the safe arrival of her little one.
