Life Around Here

Sorry for no posts for the last couple of days. The GuitarMan is off from school right now. Last week he was down in the Daytona, Florida area visiting with friends. He got back Monday night, much to the delight of his younger siblings (and his parents!) So the last couple of nights have been about catching up on some family time. Since I usually blog at night after the children are asleep that went by the wayside, but for an excellent reason! :o)

Last night we cooked chicken wings and onion rings for supper. (Ha, we are making rhyme books in our homeschool time...I just realized that rhymes!) We cooked them outside in the cold. Now I know some of my readers are in much colder weather but for us it is cold! It will be in the teens by tomorrow night. Brrr!

Well, I missed yesterday's chaos tip so I will give you a sneak peek. I'll be back on tonight and our tip will center on grocery shopping. For now, I have to run. The girls are having a game of Cootie at this moment, my little man is tiring out for a morning nap and we are all still in our jammies! Gotta get the day started! We are running a bit behind this morning and we need to get some schoolwork done. Have a wonderful day...seek God's face in the small stuff!

  2. Tiffany: Oh my goodness I wish ya'll were close enough to just pop over and we'd fry some up! Hey, that restaurant is now called The Blue Plate and they have some fine country cooking. Wonderful when you just need some comfort food!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
