This day was something. It started off really well. The girls got up and we got going with our schedule by 8:30am. By 9:30 I had all my read-alouds finished. We took a break and kept right on. The girls took turns watching and playing with 3dd2 while I worked one-on-one with the other. Math was a bit challenging for 1dd8, but she worked hard to get through it. 2dd7 worked diligently on her turns too. By lunch time we weren't finished with everything, but had taken plenty of breaks and I felt good about our progress.
After lunch, we came back and had most of our work done by 3 or so. The girls went to do a craft project with a fellow staff person here for the afternoon. 3dd2 went down for a nap, and I called my sister on the phone. We talked for quite a while and the conversation has been weighing heavily on me since then. 3dd2 woke up crabby, so I let her watch Big Sister Dora until suppertime.
After supper, I called a physician who is interested in having me work part time for him in a nearby town as a physician assistant. He is a Christian and is willing for me to work one day a week. I'm really excited about this, but I'd like some more confirmation from the Lord. My dh would stay home with the children the day I work. Doing this will help me keep my skills up, and will help me keep my license valid. It will also help me to be a better help here on the base medically because I will have medical liability coverage and a "supervising physician" for my licensure. Hopefully I will be able to provide more care and prescriptions for those who have no medical insurance.
This evening two of our staff (one is actually the daughter of another staff member) were in a four-wheeler accident. They were taken down to the hospital. Please be praying for them as they neither have health insurance, and that their injuries are not serious.
1dd8 is in bed complaining of nausea, and she has had a sore throat all day. Please pray for her also.
Okay Carol, the graphics have been fixed. The smoke is billowing and all the white is gone from your graphics, much better!
I am glad to hear you had such a productive hs day, but im sorry that so many other things seem to be pressing like accidents and illness. Hopefully it will all be good news soon for your friend and your little one will be up and at em, feeling great, tomorrow.
Oh my....I did it again....ROFL
I keep leaving comments to you from you....sorry!!
I think that when I save your template that I am signed out, but I am not, obviously! So everyone that last comment was actually from ME....LOL
When I was 17, a 12 year old friend of the family was killed on a 3 wheeler on our farm. I have such emotional issues with them...even though I know that 22 years later, they are safer. Knowing things like this give me the courage to stand my ground with my own children in the face of peer pressure (yes- even at 39 I feel the sting of peer pressure!) to allow them to ride.
I will pray for them.
Well, I don't have a Mac but I use Firefox so that could be the problem. I actually have Internet Explorer too - maybe I should switch. My Beloved set me up with Firefox because it helps with all the 'junk' out in cyber-space. Glad to know I'm not the only one, though.
Praying for your daughter and your 2 friends. Also for God's clear direction for you with the job.
Oh, I didn't think you were being critical at all... I just felt that I should explain how weird our life is! LOL So sorry if I gave that impression! I'm really looking forward to the time where we can enjoy things as a family. I suppose this is why going to college when you are younger is a better idea! Still, I know it is the Lord's will as only HE could have made a way for us...
Anyway, I will be praying for your friends and for your daughter...I'm sorry that she isn't feeling well. Thanks for asking about Sam--he's actually doing better today and we're "out of the woods" so to speak (no hospital visit!).
So, are you a nurse as well?

My husband is considering becoming a PA as well. If we were younger, I would really encourage him to be an ER doc. He is super intelligent and capable-- I know he could do it-- but since we have started this so late in life, it's just not possible.
And oh yes--he was talking about the "Q" word just the other night and how nobody dares to say it!
One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty, the beauty of the Lord. To inquire in His temple, the temple of the Lord.
This is my everyday thoughts about being a mother to three little ladies (12, 10 and 5) and a three year old son. We serve God full-time, and I am a physician assistant. I have the most awesome husband in the world. I am trying to seek and serve God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength.
