What am I doing awake at 9:00???????

Ever since I started working in the office, I have yet to work a Saturday. Such a blessing but I work thru lunches and stay late just so that I don't have to do that. So Saturday's are Aydan's and my day to lay in. Except for today. I am awake at 9:00 in the morning. I am sure that I could go back to sleep but I needed to make Aydan an appointment today and I didn't set my alarm clock so I believe the Lord woke me up.
Aydan is really bad congested and has been since Tuesday and every day gets worse. Started out with a clear runny nose, has been running a low grade fevers at night and they break sometime during the night. Last night we are at my parents house getting ready to watch a movie and Aydan had pooped so I laid him back to change his diaper. He started coughing, and coughed and coughed more so I went to sit him up and he puked!! Not like puking across the room but I think he got choked on his 'phlim' ( not sure on the spelling) but I can't handle to much of that stuff. Mariano always cleaned the puke, I held Aydan. I don't get sick looking at it or anything but with the smell and if I feel the slimy part on my fingers.....I start gagging. So I just called and got an appointment. Luckily, well I take that back I believe God had an appointment open for Aydan.
Speaking of God, he is so awesome. I have been singing, "God will make a way, when there seems to be no way, He works in ways, we can not see, He will make a way for me, He will be my guide, hold me closely to his side, With love and strength for each new day, He will make a way, He will make a way. Mariano and I had been talking about calling each other. Usually I call him and we talk on the phone for 42 minutes and 2 seconds on a $5 phone card. Everyday and it is starting to add up. I haven't found anything cheaper yet but we were talking that every week is $35. Which turns into $70 a paycheck and that is $140 a month. Something has to give. Since he started working he doesn't go into town and get on the computer or anything. And you can call however many times you want on the phone card but it charges for making the call so I usually try getting as much out of my $5 as I can. I am getting somewhere.....And when Mariano gets triple time then he buys extra so he can call to. So I got paid on Thursday and just with some of life's events that happened this week I hadn't been able to go to the store and get any phone cards. I told Mariano that we might have to start going to the $2 cards and only talking for 16 minutes or so everyday. The funny thing is, is that is has far as that idea went. Yesterday after work, I thought we were going out to eat and it didn't turn out that way. Hint: I love Mexican, and if you can eat for $5, Aydan and I eat for like $6 then you can go out a second time and eat Mexican again. Mexican is cheap and I hope they never change it. But I was going to get the cards when we went out. Got home, I always take my stuff inside first so that I can go and get Aydan from my Mother's and carry his stuff home. Sometimes he has just woken from a nap and doesn't feel like walking so I carry him too. So as I got to the door I noticed there was something in the door. I got to it and realized that it was a phone card, I said Daddy must of bought me one. So I opened the screen door and realized there was more than one. I got inside, sat my bags down and counted. There was 8 $5 phone cards and 3 $2 phone cards. I started crying and I cried some more. Dried up my tears and went out Mom's. I asked her if she put them there and she said no. She said we just got back from your Uncle Steve's. So we thought Daddy put them there. When Dad got home from visiting my grandmother, I went out to the house because he wanted some salsa and some juice. Mom asked him while I was gone and they informed me when I returned that they did not put those cards there. I looked at them and made the promise that they didn't put them there and that they didn't know who had put them there. So I don't know who, but I cried when I told Mariano and he did too. I am crying now because whoever did it doesn't really know what they did. As Mariano, Aydan and I was praying, and I pray now that God gives them a huge blessing because not everybody has that kind of money to go out and do that. I can't say that God answered a prayer because we didn't pray for phone cards but remember the song. GOD WILL MAKE A WAY!!!! I have 13 more days til I get to see him and time does seem to be going fast. But I just can't get that person off my mind!!! If if you are reading this and you are the person, I can't thank you enough!!! I really don't even know what to say to you but just cry!!! I love all you guys and thanks for the prayers!!!

Poor little man! Hope he gets better quickly! Loved the story. God works in mysterious ways with us all, and I'm glad to hear of the way He has with you. Will be praying your husband gets home sooner than expected. You all should be together regardless. Thanks for coming by!

I hate it when my kids get sick. I will be praying for your little man. Garrett is starting to get a runny nose but it hasn't developed into anything else yet, thank the Lord.

Hope the next 13 days are easy for you. And just remember....when you are smooching on your hubby, I'll be missing mine. *wink* But hey....you guys ARE WORTH IT!!!!

BTW- I didn't buy the phone cards either. Like Faith, wish I'd have thought of it, but I didn't.
