So.....it's Monday

It is only 11am, and I have already had a busy day. I took the youngest three to the dentist where they got their teeth cleaned and a check-up. Only one cavity between the three of them, and
G(11) is going to lose that tooth soon, so the dentist advised against filling it..gee you think I will follow that advice ah yeah.
H(9) finished his school early, and helped M(6) with her BSF. I have a Dr's appt int he am at 8, Thurs T (17) has dentist appt, Fri Dress rehearsal for dance, Sat dance recital, Mon Remicade....What will I do with all that extra spare time...get school done with the kiddos??
My weekend was uneventful, but have I told you guys how much I love the BHE? He is so sweet and considerate, we went to my mother's for supper last night and he was so nice to her.
He also thought about this, he went and bought fuel stabilizer and put it in my brother's truck..said brother has not driven since before he went to the ahem mental hospital in Feb.
gotta go, need to catch up on my blog reading ;)

Second last veeery busy Friday over

as of right now. Next Friday is dress rehearsal for dance recital. Then the recital is on Sat. Then, whew, dance is over for this school year. I was wondering, if anyone on the face of the earth reads this thing, and if you happen to homeschool, do you go all year round, do you take the summer off? Just how do you do it?
Anyway, the girls just went to their very first ever father/daughter dance. Both girls went with their dad, and they both had a very good time. The older did refuse to dance with her dad, but did dance next to him in the line dance. They both came home chattering away about the good time they had.
The eldest DJ'd at the dance. The younger boy and I went out to eat at Johnny Rockets to celebrate not only a great time alone, but the fact that he earned his green belt today...YAY H!!!
Anyhow, it is late and I need to go to sleep, not that I am, but I do need to.

whew!

We had a very good, but long day. Hubby just home. He rarely ever works late. The three younger ones jumped out of bed to greey their dad. They are still up...Daddy brought them a treat. We got G's last dance pictures taken, eldest to youth group ( and then to spend the night with a friend.) I remembered to take all my meds today for a change. Cleaned my room...actually my room is not that bad I just had to dismantle "Mount Clothesmore". You know that pile of clothes that you have worn, might wear again, don't want to hang up in case you don't...well I always have one of those piles. Because I have the world's smallest closet in this wonderful house, the pile is on my dresser. I dismantle it whenever I can no longer see myself in the mirror.
Anyhow, gotta go eat then go to bed. I am having tuna as a dip with baked tostitos chips.
night!

A new Day

My friend called to let me know that her son is fine. They are keeping him home from school and watching him closely today.
My third child, H, has epilepsy, so I can relate. Watching your child have a tonic/clonic seizure is one of the scariest things you could ever witness (at least tht is what a pediatric neurologiest told us). BTW tonic/clonic is grand mal.
I, and my children overslept, but we are starting school already. This is one of the joys of homeschooling..if you start late, who cares? I also love that I can do it in my pj's :).
be back later.

Awake

I have been having a difficult time sleeping...my friend (one of the best God ever gave to me) called earlier today and her son had had a seizure at school...this child has not had one in over a year, and never one of this kind before. This boy has a rare genetic problem that has cause absance seizures but never tonic/clonic seizures...I have been so concerned with him and praying for him and his family. That, and maybe just thinking about kids, ordering next years curriculum. You know the usual.

Joy through Suffering

Today has been a much better day...I am in a better place both emotionally and spiritually. I am not in a better place physically, probably in a worse place in face. God is really teaching and stretching me through the past few months. I am really trying to put into practice esteeming others more than myself, to push on to the prize, to consider all things a joy...but some times that seems impossible with what lays ahead of me.
I really have been blessed with great kids, who have good friends. I have been even more blessed w/BHE and the greatest friends ever.
Gotta go, I really need a nap.
