A Peek In My Window

Here is what you would find today.

You would see me....well, at the moment on the computer obviously. Otherwise, I've been in the rocking chair giving reading lessons. I've also been flitting back and forth to the laundry room.

You might see the children....one in my lap reading. The other two playing together, possibly quietly, possibly not. :) Right now they are finishing up a snack while they watch Letter Factory. A little young for FlowerChild since she already reads so well so she is looking through a catalogue as she eats.

In the kitchen...I cooked a chicken in the crockpot last night. It smells so good in there! I am going to make chicken and dumplins for supper.

We are...mostly still in our jammies. It is cold and rainy and there is just something comfy about staying in them. I say mostly because LadyBug has dressed herself in a bright red shirt and a fuchsia plaid skirt.

And now...they are finished with their snack and movie. I am going to put in a reading computer game for LadyBug while FlowerChild does some of her studies. Oh, my they have turned restless and grumpy in a flash lol....let me run!

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!
