Spring Cleaning Master Bedroom
Ok, I now have half of the room done! Now, onto the other half = /
We bought the glider rocker in the corner two days ago for $18! I made some covers for the cushions last night, now I just need to do the ottoman.
I hope it will last many babies. It is very comfortable, and I must say that already I sit in it to relax. Check back tomorrow for the final pictures of this room.

..PREPARE..FOR. HARD..TIMES..AHEAD.. .Any person watching the evening news can see it coming.. ..Those who prefer to keep their head in the sand so they don't have to.. consider the facts, will no doubt call us fear mongers, and not prepare. ...
... H O W E V E ROur grain reserves are at their lowest since World War II Due to high prices caused by shortages abroad, our stockpiles of grain are now being exported fifteen times faster than expected, and we have committed to sell ALL of it to foreign countries, leaving our own wheat reserves at the lowest level since 1946, when we had half the current population to feed. In fact, it seems our farmers have probably committed to sell more grain to foreign countries than they've actually planted !! . To make matters worse, America's farmers have switched to growing corn for ethanol, in place of food grade crops. Couple this with worldwide damage to farmlands and crops from droughts and floods, and it's obvious that the worst will come this summer.
These two ABC news articles confirm the above: February 5: . .http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=4269201 February 8: . .http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=4263281The shortage of ALL grains, even hay, is so severe that we now have horses starving - even dying - in Kentucky, Tennessee, and at least five other Southeastern states; The price of hay has doubled, even tripled. Grain wholesalers from as far away as Central Kentucky are getting calls every day from people all over the eastern part of the United States looking for hay. Horses are being abandoned on federal land, and even in city parks. People are literally giving them away.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/26/eveningnews/main3971281.shtmlIt was just announced that Arkansas (and five or six other large farming states) have now lost their entire winter wheat crop due to the recent floods. It was also announced that a box of plain vanilla cereal is going to cost you nine dollars.

Professor John Beddington put himself at odds with ministers who have committed Britain to large increases in the use of biofuels over the coming decades. In his first important public speech since he was appointed, he described the potential impacts of food shortages as the elephant in the room; a problem which rivaled that of climate change."

The Sunday Times Says - We Are Running Out ! (U.K. Times) "THE WORLD is only ten weeks away from running out of wheat supplies after stocks fell to their lowest levels for 50 years. The crisis has pushed prices to an all-time high and could lead to further hikes in the price of bread, beer, biscuits and other basic foods."
Half Our Bees Have Died ! Half of America's honeybees are now dead and gone! So, do not expect abundant fruits, nuts, and vegetable crops as they will drop to as little as thirty (30) percent of normal production, for lack of pollination!
Per CBS - Sixty Minutes, Feb. 24, 2008. See: .http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/25/60minutes/main3407762.shtmlSummation: Without grain, livestock cannot be fed. Without livestock there is no meat. Without bees, vegetables and fruit cannot grow. Without all three, a nation cannot survive.
. Our Trucking Industry Is Struggling: The dwindling food supplies destined for our grocery stores just may not make it anyway. One more increase in the cost of diesel fuel just may make it economically impossible for our truckers to survive. Many independent truckers are parking their rigs. See how desperate their situation is:

Our Nation's Economy Is Faltering: America's economy is in far worse shape than anyone ever suspected: Thirteen BILLION dollars each month go to finance the Iraq war: We are hemorrhaging jobs at a rate approaching 100,000 a MONTH: Over ten percent of American homeowners now owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth: This condition has not existed since the great 1929 depression: Our economy is faltering: And we as Americans are on the brink.., it's up to YOU to prepare.
See: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=4332334&page=1
On March 15, 2008 the U.S. Government had to TRY to bail out Bear-Stearns, one of America's largest investment banks, with no guarantee its efforts will even succeed. Not since the great 1929 depression have our banks been in such dire straights.
In March of 2007 Bear Stearn's stock was selling at $159.00 a share. One year later, on March 17, 2008, AFTER securing a commitment from the government for a loan so they would be financially able do so, the JPMorgan bank bought the entire Bear Stearns company, building and all, for just TWO DOLLARS a Share.
Which means our fifth largest investment bank just sold for .LESS THAN TWO CENTS ON THE DOLLAR !. ,,http://www.theamericannightmare.org/Bear-Sterns.html..
The money brokers in the greed parade down Wall Street can fabricate just any "rally" they please, in their efforts to get small investors to pump even more money into their schemes, .but if you will just look around, the little guy is on his way down the tubes.
.
Some will try to "pretend" that because these events were prophesied,.. the facts being reported on the evening news are somehow less valid...
However, that won't alter the fact that Delta Airlines now plans to eliminate 2,000 employees, our auto makers are closing plants about as fast as they are selling cars, and we are still hemorrhaging jobs faster than the government can keep track of them.
Moreover, it's interesting to note that in the 1990's Vince Diehl prophesied in public, in writing, over 150 events that would take place in America, to include that God would "sic" the Arabs on us; To include that our jobs would be outsourced; To include all our droughts: and, to include every detail pertaining to America's war with Iraq, right down to how it will end. See his "Woe To America" prophecy in the index at the bottom of this page. (section "A" - article 02) AND, to include that our financial institutions would be plundered !! Also see: Daniel Prophesied our Wars With Iraq
.
Prepare for the following scenario:
After America's economy crashes in midway to the third quarter of 2008: After she has squandered all her grain on making ethanol, to include depleting her national grain reserves: and finds out that neither China, Australia, nor any of her other sources will sell her grain due to shortages at home: We as Americans, will experience the most severe famine in all recorded history; Intertwined with which, will be a severe strain of flu which science will eventually determine has been spread by the droppings of birds who migrated north after becoming diseased by the stagnant, toxic waters of Katrina, whose feces has found its way into our food supply through produce.
After which, The Most High God will destroy America with a fire that can never be quenched, by igniting the Hugoton Panhandle Natural Gas Reserve, which will eventually burn America and both her neighbors off the face of the earth.
All of which will take place before George W. Bush leaves office.
Vince Diehl (January, 2008)
If you think the last part of this prophecy is not scientifically possible, may we suggest you consider the documentary at the bottom of this page titled "The Great Abyss". .
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: (Revelation 18:8-11)

To the store we go!
Ok, now I know I said I wanted to wait at least until mid April before making a trip to the store, but I have only 7 pre-natal vitamins left. I will only take the pre-natals from Whole Foods. Out of all the ones I have tried Rx and OTC this seems to be the only one that stays down and doesn't make me sick or give me adverse effects.
Tomorrow is our only "open" day this week so we may make the trip then, or I may just hold off until Monday. I dread going. It is about a 3 hour drive for us, and I am tired of driving and just wanna stay home! When I go I will stock us up on our essentials, leaving a little extra money to get fresh produce in May. I plan on spending about $300 which I'd rather save. I'll let you all know when I do indeed make the trip and I'll take pictures of what we got!

Were has the time gone???
We have been so busy this week and I'm afraid the rest of the week looks booked too! We had Dr.s appointments yesterday and today both took a couple of hours :( It seems that I won't be able to stay home one day until Sat. We generally do all errands in one day and sometimes I may only leave the house two times a month...except for church. So all of this running around is running me down! We have been good and are still eating from the pantry, but it seems like we are living off sandwiches. Thankfully, that is dd's favorite, nothing beats a grilled cheese or PB sandwich. I guess if I only had 6 teeth, I would like them a lot more too.
Today's Menu
Breakfast- Toast w/ butter and jelly egg
Lunch- Peanut Butter Sandwich
Dinner- HUGE salad with leftovers
All from the pantry or fridge
