need some soup bowls and arguably new dishes but i haven t come up with a solution yet comment december 1 2021 december 3 2021 carriejadefeipel5 trip i recently went on a trip to nashville with some friends from college to visit a friend who was grieving the loss of her sister one night while sitting around the table after eating too much pizza the friend who lost her sister just started talking and i could have listened to her all night long some people are just so wise ya know anyway she kept saying god s kindness is interwoven through everything if you pay attention and have eyes to see and i can t stop thinking about it i also noted that she said jesus is a reflection of who god is keeping your hopes up is the most risky thing you can do but that s what faith is and the worst effing moments in life are where you see god s kindness woven in i haven t experience any real first hand traumatic loss but i m not naïve enough to think i never will i want to remember these words i want to be able to share them with people that s all comment march 15 2021 carriejadefeipel5 christmas 2020 i have several posts i ve written and not published i probably never will so let s move on me

everywhere this picture frame or something like it drew work boots anna a fun chair bennett probably some more books caleb a blue rug comment november 6 2020 march 15 2021 carriejadefeipel5 it s a long story a couple weeks ago i suffered some sort of curse that heavily resembled food poisoning i thought maybe i had the flu but i live with 4 other people and none of them even sort of caught what i had it all went down on a friday i slept most of saturday and in to sunday forcing drew to take the kids to hours and hours of swim lessons without me as i was snoozing away drew called and asked me to bring the insurance cards to him because caleb took a tumble and possibly needed sewn back up i called my parents on the way and they sat with the older two while bennett finished his lesson and we whisked caleb off to the pediatric er at lutheran hospital where we received the most excellent care by their lovely staff six stitches later we all realized that the same doctor doing caleb s fixer upper is who put anna s elbow back together when she was 5 or so the flu and your five year old getting stitches is a lot in one weekend some other things happened that aren t my story to tell taxes happened the government hates us for being financially responsible then tuesday night anna got the incessant cough bennett has been coughing for weeks but it doesn t effect his sleep anna is the opposite we were up all night with her trying all the tricks i decided not to send her to school on wednesday i had a plan of working wednesday night extra hours thursday and extra hours friday so that i didn t have to use vacation time to stay home i went full time at the y in january but my sick days haven t kicked in yet around lunch time on wednesday she wasn t looking so good so i took her temp at it was 103 7 drew was able to take a vacation day thursday and stay home so i could stay on track with my hours so on thursday i took the boys to school and went to work while drew stayed home with anna trying to get her fever down i met some of the administrative assistants from other y s in town at a restaurant for lunch we were updating each other on our lives since the last time we had lunch and my phone rang the school i assumed one of the boys had picked up anna s germs wrong i was not prepared for what they told me hi carrie bennett got his finger stuck in a bench at recess we can t get it out so we ve called the fire department can you run over real quick and maybe help us calm him down a little bit so we can get it out of course i was across town and not across this street as i drove the i don t know 8 minutes to the school my mind kind of went nuts why didn t i ask questions what did any of this even mean does he still have a finger what bench is their blood what is happening sure enough his finger was stuck he was pretending to be a cat walking across the bench and his one finger just slipped in the hole and got stuck he said his fingers have gone in their before but they always come out this kid has the longest skinniest fingers what is happening look at these fingers they tried soap hand sanitizer windex the string trick nothing would work it was swollen and freezing cold and nothing would work they turned the bench on it s side so he could sit and try to elevate his finger to see if the swelling would go down nothing so they got out the bolt cutters and cut a little square out of the bench so he could go inside we tried soaking it to see if we could get it to prune and slide out nope it just kept swelling the one fire fighter wasn t happy with the color of his finger so drew brought sick little anna to the school and we prepared to head back to the er let me just say these firefighters were the best fire station 1 the teachers and administrators at the school were the best they tried their bests for so long i m so grateful for them all so drew gets benny buckled in and i took anna to my dad who was getting off work shortly and he brought her back to our house caleb stayed at school i arrive to the er and we had the same doctor her name is stephanie and she s amazing there was also another guy who was helping her elisha they tried soap sanitizer cleaner and the string trick they tried the ring cutter and just couldn t get it in there because of the swelling so how did we get his finger unstuck the lutheran hospital maintenance guy dave he used a dremel to cut the piece of bench down enough that elisha could get a better angle with the ring cutter the orthopedic doctor came and checked on his finger and said it looked okay they worked slowly but surely with the dremel and a bucket of ice to cool it off when it got too hot finally after 3 4 hours the finger was free it s fine not even sore what in the actual also back track for a second my mom and i put together a group of women to do a bible study the plan was to have it at our house thursdays at 6 30 we were already scrambling to relocate because of anna s fever then the whole bench finger thing i was beat but ain t no one gonna hold me down oh no i had to keep on moving what could be more relaxing that a hot cup of tea during bible study i boiled that water and got my tea going in my insulated travel mug to steep while i made the drive to my friend amy s house i turned a corner and half of the boiling hot tea spilled in my seat while i was driving through traffic i had to just keep going my leg hurt so so bad i had a couple of burns but nothing requiring medical attention thankfully amy and i wear the same sized sweat pants and i could borrow hers when i got there but come on it s weird to be in a place where all of these dumb things keep happening but nothing is actually that bad ya know i eventually stopped puking caleb s leg healed we had the money to pay the taxes anna s fever will go away bennett still has a finger and my burn isn t debilitating even if i have a scar it s on my butt haha but i am tired i am so grateful for my boss and everyone at the y who is so flexible and supportive and concerned about my little family i am so thankful for the staff at the pediatric er at lutheran and oddly enough for their maintenance department i am thankful for the firefighters in this town who i ve spent more time with that i d like no offense and the faculty and staff at st paul s i m beyond thankful for every single one of them you guys my parent s i don t even know how many times they ve dropped everything to come help we are so fortunate to have them so close and so willing to be there for us drew my voice of reason when i m losing my mind how could i do life without him my friend amy who just stepped up and rearranged everything so bible study could go on and she was just here take these pants and i put a towel in your van and my daughter is on her way with ice packs i am blessed for sure and god i m just so so so thankful for my faith in god how do you even have hope when it seems like everything is going so wrong if you don t have jesus so all that to say don t feel bad for me for us we re all okay it s just a lot and i mostly wanted to document it this story was not facebook post length 1 comment march 6 2020 march 6 2020 carriejadefeipel5 2019 books i didn t read as many books in 2019 as i have in recent years and i believe there are a few logical and understandable reasons why i read the whole bible arguably 66 books which would bring my total to 88 but let s not get carried away on technicalities it counts as one big book that occupied a majority of my prime reading time 5 7am i worked more i doubled by hours at the y and as we head into 2020 i m going to double my hours again yup full time job here i come i also switched jobs so i no longer had the luxury of reading at work while i waited on members to need things it s fine i love it i watched seasons 1 4 of outlander twice and seasons 1 2 three times i also watched the witcher season 1 in about 2 days i know i started watching grey s anatomy i picked up just after george died because that was the last thing i remembered in my defense i ve been using ga as an emotional crutch to avoid dealing with my own very real emotions regarding the official loss of my sahm status aka essentially having days every week to do whatever i want and the fact that my grandpa s health is declining he s been put in a nursing home and my grandma is alone to deal with it all it s just not the way it should be but crying about the death and heartbreak of fictional characters is an outlet i can deal with true confession i spent almost an entire saturday in the basement with the lights off drinking beer at 2pm and binging almost 4 episodes in a row drew took the kids shopping to let me wallow we sold our house and bought a new one there was a lot to do and there still is and i m not the queen of getting it done but i did do a lot so there s that the books 1 if i fix you abigail johnson i don t remember this at all 2 eliza and her monsters francesca zappia enjoyable 3 i ll give you the sun jandy nelson a re read a favorite 4 the sky is everywhere same as 3 5 circe madeline miller 6 tiger lily jodi lynn anderson re read a favorite 7 truest jackie lea sommers 8 dare to lead brene brown go read it now 9 mom truths cat nat 10 remind me samantha chase 11 redeeming love francine rivers good but this took me a looonnng time to get through 12 daisy jones the six taylor jenkins reid 13 the seven husbands of evelyn hugo taylor jenkins reid the better of the two imho 14 parenting paul david tripp great 15 inspired rachel held evans i think my favorite of the year 16 women of the word jen wilken highly recommend 17 king of scars leigh bardugo 18 all our broken pieces ld crichton 19 wicked lovely melissa marr enjoyable but no desire to read the rest of the series 20 miracles and other reasonable things sarah bessey this prompted me to buy her other books it s so very good 21 the bible i started a number of books that i never finished mostly on my kindle app but most noteably the ninth house by leigh bardugo i love the six of crows books i mean really i have a tshirt the grishaverse series and king of scars but lb s newest book was too dark and too much for me headed into 2020 i m going to attempt the readmybooks challenge by jessica turner and finish all the books i have that i ve never read or never finished there are some real good ones in my stack that i have no good reason for not finishing mostly non fiction so i m sure to emerge from the end of this year a better christian parent leader and person haha we ll see and do not fret i gave the ninth house away so i m under no obligation to finish it i would like to defend myself to what myself i don t know that anyone knows i still occasionally spew shit on here so i m talking to myself right in regards to the amount of tv i watched this year with the exception of that one day in the basement with meredith grey i almost never ever sit down and watch tv i watched almost the entirety of the outlander series as was currently available and the witcher while standing in my kitchen doing dishes or cooking and or standing in the bathroom curling my hair i realize i am unable to fully grasp the cinematic brilliance of said shows this way but it is what it is comment january 5 2020 carriejadefeipel5 goodbye 2019 january 1 2020 i don t know what i was getting on here to even say i guess just to record the goals i had for 2019 i had some lofty goals and we did them others will just roll over all in all 2019 was a pretty good year the whole mess with my grandpa around christmas is a bit of a down but i mostly just choose not to talk about it at all anyway about those goals pay off amazon cc pay off old navy cc emergency fund we actually saved it spent it saved it spent it and saved it again read the bible i did it the whole thing re read some of my favorite books i read a bunch of my favorites but not all of them read all of the non fiction on my too read shelf haha not even close get a full time job technical...
