Just a Typical Day Here

I hardly can figure out what to write because everything is pretty ordinary.  Well, ordinary for US anyway.  It's about 11AM on Tuesday.  Most of the children have Math done and that is a huge hurdle b/c it seems to be everyone's hardest subject to complete!

We already did Brain Gym, Devotions, Classical Music, Bible Art and...  oops, I just realized we forgot to do History today.  Well, we can get to that later! We, thankfully, do not have to GO anywhere today, but we will have to be creative with the food we have in the house for another day or two until payday so that will be fun. 

Russ will pick up the raw milk for this week's kefir on his way home from work tonight and that will give me more time to work on housework.  That's a plus! 

We have to be out of the house more than I prefer with going to the chiropractor three days a week, but thankfully it's only 12 minutes from home and gives Kaitlyn driving practice on a regular basis.  She needs 50 hours to test for her license and she has about 32 hours in so far. (She needs 8 1/2 more of night time hours which was hard for us to give her in the Summer months as it gets dark around 10PM and neither Russ nor I wanted to go driving with her that "late"!)

Yesterday was the 10 year anniversary of Sarah Hope's "birth".  She was born at 17 weeks gestation and had died a few weeks earlier.  This year her birthday did not bother me as much as the memory of the day the doctor could not find a heartbeat (Sept. 22).  That day was kind of emotional for me last week.  Thankfully we had a fun event at church that night and that was much more joyful than wallowing in past pain. I forgot my camera though.  I wish I had remembered it because my friend Diana and I decorated a table and I was happy with how it turned out!

Upcoming this week:

Wednesday: Chiropractor in the afternoon and Church in the evening.

Friday: Chiropractor in the afternoon again.

Sat.: Attending a baby shower.  I have an afghan to finish to give as a gift.

Oct. 5, 2009 - Raw milk?

Posted by LarabaK

I've heard about kefir but haven't felt brave enough to tackle it. Does the process of making kefir kill any bacteria? Or do you just need to make sure your raw milk is safe?

I'm glad you had a good church event to go to. I know what you mean about pangs of pain... for our 2nd miscarriage this year, we had a healthy heartbeat one day, I bled 9 days later, and the next day there was no heartbeat. I still remember that sad feeling as the ultrasound tech. confirmed our little one was gone.

My name is Christina. I am 40 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 19 years! (It will be 20 in March 2010!) My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (17), Jordan (15 ), Ian (13.5), and Noah (11)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (9) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 13th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
