Make a Sign for the Door

Sick children in the house! Runny noses...coughing....sore throat....as their doctor said his father used to say when coming out of the church nursery when people brought their sick children...unclean!unclean!

My babies are just pitiful sick this week. They feel so bad and all they want is to be held or snuggle under their blankets and watch movies. Cornbread had a well baby checkup Tuesday (like when he was WELL) and at that point Ladybug was sick so I let the doctor check her out too. He gave us samples of some medicine that he is hoping will bring some relief. Now all my little ones are sick with it so I figure it is only a matter of time before the whole family has it.

My house is a wreck but I have that big pot of Pasta E Fagioli in the fridge so at least I am not worrying with cooking anything tonight. Maybe I can catch up a little on the housework if my cuties go to sleep later. At least if they actually sleep at the same time! Otherwise I will continue to snuggle under a pile of children in the recliner as I have today! And Cornbread has spent a whole 4 minutes in his bouncy and wants Mama again so I have to run now.

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!
