My Thoughtful Spot

And I don’t mean lunch meat! I am getting spammed incessantly. I haven’t had this problem for some time now, what do I need to do? Clearly some little check mark isn’t in place, or is in the wrong place or some such thing!

Help!

I feel as though I have been given a new life. I have legs – that work! I am not in constant pain. My mind even works better. I have been busy catching up – decluttering, cleaning, playing with my kids in the yard. I am LOVING it. Now, with the school year starting up I am so enjoying going on field trips with the kids this year. We’ve had two outings so far with our local homeschool group, apple picking and a tour of our potato museum. Fun times!! I will be sure to be sharing pictures

In other news… we’ve discovered creationary. Oh what a fun game! I had in my head it was a kids game but really it’s fun for everybody. It’s a game that all age levels can enjoy playing together, playing at their own level. It’s so hard to find games for our family, we just have such unique levels of ability here!! I love lego, and this has become a favorite.

Books.. “Animals should definately not act like people” by Ron and Judi Barrett. A real producer of giggles!! We have also discovered the Pigeon books and are all in love with them. My older daughter reads them very dramatically and always finds a willing audience! Moe Willems is the author of those.

My server is not allowing me to add photos at this time. I will try again later! For now I must go feed my starving child – he hasn’t eaten in at least an hour. He’s a hobbit i tell ya!!

later my friends

I have to share this. I stumbled across it tonight when searching youtube for my “Kerrigan song”, Hello, Goodbye by Michael W Smith. Noah is with Kerrigan, in Jesus arms. May God wrap his arms around Noah’s family and bring them so much comfort.

You can read more about Noah at http://treasuringlifesblessings.blogspot.com/

I just realized the pics I wanted to share are on the desk top. I’m on the laptop. Oh well. I’m not gonna move off my bed again tonight!

It’s been a challenging day today. I did NOT sleep well last night a few hours tops, and i didn’t rest well today either. Laying in bed hurts more than being up and about, but it’s largely impossible to sleep standing up unless you are a horse (or a cow.. or… lol). None of which describe me. Well, at least not literally.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new chair. I can lift the seat up to the level that leaves me able to reach the counter, stove, etc. I can tip back and nap in it, i can go as fast as 5 mph in it! I can accomplish SO much more in it than I ever could in the other chair. This is such a blessing. here, check it out

It can take small steps as well, so no more catwalking over steps. Thats almost disappointing. hehe. It saves me SO much energy in a day and I can now play in the yard with my kids. they think it’s fun to chase me around, and I’m able to get to wherever I need to be to play with them – this does lawn as well as driveway. It’s been lifechanging. OH, and I can see out my windows!!!!!!!! That may not sound like much but trust me – it’s HUGE.

Ok, time to curl up and read a book for a while. Chair is charging, kids are in bed (not sleeping but thats beside the point) it’s MEEE time.

Night all… later!

Are tougher than others

I’ve been listening to Ray Boltz’s “The Anchor Holds” a lot tonight. (yes, I am aware of all controversy around him. Don’t care to go there thanks) It’s ministering to me so much,the boat is battered, my sails are torn, I’ve certainly fallen on my knees, on my face even, as the seas rage around me. I feel like I can’t hold on for even one more moment – and then I am reminded the Anchor holds – I don’t have to. My dreams, my dreams and visions that I’ve held in my hand may have slipped through my fingers like grains of sand but that anchor holds. I would think that in the years I’ve lived I would have learned to hold on to that anchor but I seem to continually forget. Somehow each storm seems worse than the last and I have to learn all over again.

Here’s the song in youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL112E3NjqU. It’s worth hearing.

for tonight it’s off to lay down and watch NCIS while falling asleep. Good night all. Now that I have my computer again I’ll be back more often. i think!

Keep on praying for our little Jon Marc. He’s just had the chicken pox but thanks to many prayers he didn’t get very sick with them – not nearly as bad as it could have been! Here is a picture of him with his big brothers, as well as one of him.

The Colour Song

I love this song. I have it playing over and over. Today has been a rough day. I keep telling myself tomorrow may be better. I hope it is better. i can’t say it couldn’t be worse because realistically it could be. But it will probably be better.

A picture to make you smile. James and his intended.

I’m not big on weekends. Change in routine, days tend to drag, just not my favorite days of the week. But they keep coming with a regularity I can’t avoid so…

Today I’ve put the kitchen back to rights and cleaned the fridge to the point of almost acceptable, now I am going to have to take a longer break. Lack of sleep last night is taking it’s toll. I’m going to crash and read for a bit and I suspect it will turn in to sleep. Once I wake up, I hope to get the bathroom finished and some laundry done. Hubbie is home all day, with any luck he’ll make supper.

My head hurts, my body hurts and worst of all my heart hurts.

an old picture of a little boy I love.

I’m starting the day out with seizures. A whole new sort in fact. I didn’t see these ones coming. I just didn’t feel quite like myself and said a rather strange something to a friend in a chat. And then as I’m wondering which alien has taken over my brain the postictal headache hit and I’m suddenly aware of all that has been going on. Thankfully I wasn’t in a group of people but only with one loving understanding friend!

so. I’m not moving a lot yet. My eyes are still a little funky and I’m not quite sure yet that I’ve returned totally to our planet (lol). The dogs want to be fed but they won’t starve while they wait. I need to eat myself but I look down and realize that I won’t starve either!!

So today may be a slower day than I wished but life does go on. Hopefully by late afternoon I will be able to make the birthday meal for hubbie. Let me see if I can find a picture to leave you for the day….

meet Jon Marc. He’s my cousins little guy. He’s battling cancer in a big way. Right now he’s in the hospital, he has had a temp of 104 for two days that wouldn’t come down despite treatment. Prayers for Jon Marc and his family would be so appreciated!!

Quick edit: The day just got better. James (8) woke up. He had diarrhea in his sleep. Whats next????
