Have a few minutes on my hands so thought I would get this done.  If you're interested in joining this visit the following site and follow the directions:  My Heart's Desire

From the Heart:  Another tough week.  Dad chose to call 911 again on Monday and this time the doctor would not release him to his independent apartment.  I have spent much of this week running back and forth between the care center he is now “living” in and getting paperwork, medicines, etc. coordinated.  It just saddens me that it has come to this because he is so healthy physically.  This is nerves plain and simple that he can’t keep hold of because he “wants someone to take care of him.”  My prayers were answered with this outcome because there was nothing else I could do for him and God orchestrated it all beautifully on Monday.  This week I am praying that he will get better with the new anxiety medications and that I will be able to find an assisted living place for him sooner rather than later.

With the Lord:  Am starting a new study on Psalm 23 (and other scriptures) for the Wednesday night ladies study at church.  Still would like to begin a Women of Faith study just for me, but it may have to wait until my load lightens a bit.  I have been doing a lot more praying and praising with the current situation!

As Wife/Mom:  Once again another week of feeling horribly insufficient.  I’ve been giving lots of hugs and loves to the kids as they’ve been drug along to appointments and such at the care center all week long.  Was thankful they were back on schedule with grandma and pop-pop’s house so they could just have 5 hours of fun, fun, fun on Thursday.

My birthday is today (9/5) and the kids took me to Burger King for lunch and this afternoon we’re going camera shopping.  Can’t wait as this current digital camera has been horrible.  Thought it would be better since it was a Nikon but it has not.

 In the Schoolroom:  We made it through our first week of full lessons!  Had some trouble at first adjusting to more desk time and Sweetie Boy does not think he needs to practice forming his letters more than once.  “I’ve learned “a” so I do not need to do it again.”  Hmmmm  He has been over the top though about sounding and reading very short stories.  He’s doing great with that!  Punkin’ is struggling with cursive so that is taking a lot more time than I’d like her to have to spend.  I know it will go quicker once she knows how to form the letters more without thinking so much.  We began our astronomy segment for “together school” and were able to go view the moon and Jupiter through binoculars for a few days until it started clouding up on us at night.  This week I hope we can do some star gazing and then we’ll move onto our formal unit through KONOS on seasons, calendars and planets.

We’ve also been having “home ec” this weekend as we are canning pears and peaches.  The kids work with us side-by-side and the work goes so much quicker.  Today we managed 32 quarts of pears!  Monday we will tackle the remaining pears (just 3-4 quarts) and the peaches (about 20 quarts).

Happy belated birthday!!! I'm sorry you had such a rough week. I think we all get overwhelmed and feel inadequate at times. Just keep on keeping on and take comfort in knowing that God is still in control.
