I haven't had much time online lately. I'm trying to get orders finished up by tomorrow or Wednesday so we can have some real 'holidays' around here! Hubby is off all this month, and the first part of next month, so he has been helping with the schooling. I'm finding that with his help, I'm actually getting my joy back in our schooling! Not that it was really gone, but it was fizzling a bit. It's really hard at times with 3 who are in the early grades. I find once a child learns to read very fluently on their own, the schooling just changes completely. I haven't made it there with these three yet though. It seemed to go much quicker with the first child. lol Of course not all children are going to read full novels by the time they are 6! (although I wish all five of mine would! lol)

Thank you for those who have been praying about the surgery I had the other week. We got the pathology reports back, and it was basel cell carcinoma (cancer) as I thought. I'm so glad I researched it when I did! It's very true that knowledge is our best defense!

So for now, it's been removed and that's basically the cure. My dr is sending me to a dermatologist to check all other spots. I have another one on my face that concerns me, and they will check out my other many spots. I've always had lots of spots, but so far they have always been simply moles.

This year is leaving me feeling kind of old. Before this year, I never had any health problems etc.. Now this year I spent 4 days in the hospital with that 'episode' and I don't get to see the neurologist about that for another 2 months. This year I started getting gray hairs, and now there are too many to count. lol (But I keep reminding myself that the Bible says gray hair is a gift!) Now this with the surgery. Suddenly I've gone from never going to the dr's except for routine check-ups, to going much too often for my liking! I'm too young for this. I'm only 35!
