Monday

      Today is Monday.  Clearly Monday.  I'm dragging my tail.  It's 10:30 and I'm trying out a cup of hot coffee.  It's COLD outside today.    Stomach flu is taking it's rounds and it's hit everyone but us.  I'm so thankful for that!  I suppose it will hit us shortly.  This year we are all taking a probiotic everyday. And for you bandwagon haters, yes, it is indeed a probiotic I bought from Plexus.  Forgive me.  So far this bandwagon has had a combination of supplements I needed and seems to be helping what ails me I guess.  Other than I'm very tired today! :)  Life still happens even if one finds a good vitamin supplement that helps a few other things, huh? 
          We had a very nice Thanksgiving weekend.  I've been overwhelmed and in awe of how blessed I am!  I have four healthy intelligent kids.  I have a warm house with a very nice wood fire place in my basement living room, right next to our school room.  I have mountains of laundry so my family is well clothed.  And I went  grocery shopping two times last week and my fridges and freezers are stocked.     

       Best of all....Matt has had three full days off work and we filled them to the fullest with good productive times.  Thursday we spent with the clan eating turkey and playing password and relaxing. The guys had a little gun party outside, and the dog got their rabbit for thanksgiving dinner.    

      On Friday we pretended to work here at home and get some things done. Matt took the boys pheasant hunting.  Zerrick just got done with hunters safety and so he was getting a little hands on experience.   Just can't keep my little boys LITTLE!!!!     And then we went vehicle shopping.  We didn't buy though.  We just had fun looking.  And then out to eat at Cracker Barrel.  I don't like Cracker Barrel but my boys do.  I think they like the pancakes and maple syrup and gift shop.  It's a dirty place.   And the waitresses bangs are hanging loose a little to close to my dinner plate.  I know I'm a finicky person.     

    On Saturday we did LAUNDRY up the wazoo and mucked out the  house and mucked out the chicken barn and put tin on one part of the chicken barn and cut a little more firewood.  It was a very productive day.   My arms are still hurting from the muck jobs.      

   Sunday was full like always with a carry in lunch.  And now today, it's back to school.  But Math class is over already and it's only 11 am!  That's progress!     

      And so now, we can decorate for Christmas and please let their be lots of snow soon!   What's Christmas without snow?  :)      

And Z won't touch the thing....  so we know he has a long ways to go before he becomes an official hunter.  


And it was Matt who shot this rooster.... Oh but they had FUN. So they say.....

I haven't read your blog for a while. I am trying hard to stretch my mind around no snow. And 3 little boys close together who can go hunting with their dad. Our boys are all 5 years apart, so their interests are so varied. I'm hoping as they get older, I hope the gap closes up.
You Go on Plexus. :)
Happy Monday! -Luci-

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....
