My Life of Late

 I think I'm important enough that I think there are people wondering what and how I'm doing.  On the other hand they probably haven't even thought about me at all.  Never the less this is what I've been doing:  

Sleeping on the recliner at night with Jeanie.  While I'm doing that I've been going over all kinds of interesting things in my mind. Last week it was forgiveness and Ebola.  And they aren't related.  What person has rational and related thoughts in the middle of the night?  

We spent the day with Matt today.  It turned out to be a very hard day but worth it. He helped me get all four kids through updating immunizations and  then we went with him to update his pick up situation. 

Yesterday I woke up with a numb pinky finger and half my palm.  I figured it out.  When one holds a one year old on the couch all night one gets her nerve pinched or compressed and she ends up with a numb hand and arm.  It's not leaving either.  I keep hoping I can trick it all into feeling good soon but nothing has helped yet. 

Zerrick had two of his friends over Sunday afternoon.  It was great fun to listen in on their conversations.  Dylan informed them all that if you say airplane real slow it'll sound like gullible.  As all my boys tittered and giggled Joel drones out airplane reeeaaaalll slow in his long drawn out way!  11 year old boys are kind of funny.  

Homeschool Group has started again!  We had them all here for another scavenger hunt and soccer.  The weather was  perfect.  They all acted a little strange but by the end of two hours all was well again and we're off to another good year!  From the four year olds up it's about  20 kids.  This year we might have to split sometimes because of the age difference...... we'll see.

I'm trying to live my life without events and schedules.  Sticking to the basics and staying home a lot.  I would love to socialize more but it's not my time.  We're just better off this way right now I guess.  But  all is well.  If only Jeanie would sleep like she use to. ........

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
