Sep. 16, 2009~ Organization ~
Does anyone else here have a hard time staying organized??? Geesh! I think I'm doing pretty well, but some days I just feel very swamped. Ok, actually some weeks I feel very swamped. lol!!! The last two weeks I don't know if I'm coming or going!!! lol!!! Last week, first the holiday and taking a day off from school threw me off, then on Thursday it was Little One's 7th birthday. I feel like I got very little done. Then this week started off with a playdate/ PE time on Monday and we weren't able to fit school it. All this is creating havoc on my schedule!!! lol!!!
I also need to ask for prayer for Little One. He's really having a tough time. We now believe he may have OCD and Tourettes and well, it is REALLY interfering in his life and ours. We are hoping to get him into a doctor that can maybe give us some answers soon. I think that is another reason, I just feel out of sorts right now.
Here are some things that help me stay somewhat organized:
May. 15, 2009~ PC is Coming Home! (and other news) ~
Well, got some good news... we are going to be bringing Prince Caspian home in June!!! It's been a LONG year!!! For those of you that don't know, PC was having some unique challenges and for his own good, he went to stay at his Grandparent's home for awhile. It ended up being longer than we had planned, but it was really good for him. He was needing some individual attention that we really couldn't give him since we had another child here that needed us too. PC is doing much better and we are excited to have him home. He's been staying with us on the weekends and the visits have been going really good. So we will probably bring him home on June 6th.
Ok, not everything is going good right now. I just found out I may be diabetic. *sigh* I have to take a 2 hour glucose intolerance test next week and I'm really dreading it. I've had it before when I was pregnant and it made me sick. Ugh! Anyways, needless to say, I'm nervous about the results. I was really close to the border, so I'm praying the tests will come back that I'm not diabetic. Please pray for me if you think about it. I made a page about diabetes if you or a loved one has it (or if you just want to know more), you can check it out here: http://www.squidoo.com/Diabetes-Page.
Also today is my birthday!!! Yay! It was funny, Little One asked me how old I was and I said "Ummm 21". He gave me a look that said "yeah right!" lol!!!! Geeeezzzz.... can't even fool a 6 year old anymore. lol!!! Anyways, we have a lot of fun (and educational!) things planned for this weekend, so I will have lots to talk about next week!!!
Wow! I can't believe it has been so long since I have wrote on this blog!!! Not this last Saturday, but the Saturday before, Hubby, Little One and I drove over to Amish country for the day. PC stayed behind because he did not want to miss his basketball game. We left at 9:20 in the morning, arrived there about 1:30 in the afternoon and we left about 8:30 at night and arrived back home at 12:30 in the morning. It was a long day, but really enjoyable. Unfortunately, Little One got car sick on the way home and we had just stopped to go to the bathroom when he threw up. Luckily, he made it to the bathroom before he did. So we hung around the gas station for a bit and let him sip Sprite to settle his tummy. I'll have to say, our Amish Country experience was ummmm... interesting. Like I said, it was really enjoyable, but it was not at all what I envisioned. To read about the trip itself, go to this lens Our Amish Adventure. I wrote all about it there.

This last weekend, the kids weren't feeling too well and my knee was hurting me. I think though, as of now, everyone is on the mend. I rested my knee on Sunday and we kept the kids in to rest. We decided to watch the movie City of Ember again and just chill out. It was a nice relaxing day.
I have a prayer request. My sister in law's nephew (my brother's wife) is in serious condition. His mother found him on the floor of the basement unconscious. They are not sure what happened, except that it could be related to a head injury he had last month. Anyways, he is in the ICU in a coma and they are not sure if he is going to make it or not. He's a very young man in his early 20's. Please pray for his healing. Thank you.
Little One has first loose tooth teeth. This morning he came to me and said he had a loose tooth and I checked it and sure enough, it was loose. A few minutes later, he was looking in the mirror and he said "I think another is loose". So he came running to me and I checked and sure enough the one right beside it was loose too. Little One is so excited!!! They are the middle two teeth on the bottom. The teeth are so tiny, I'm not sure how a big old permanent tooth is going to fit in there, let alone two of them.
