Millers Blessing Homeschooling - Homeschool Blogger Hi I am Tanya and this is about me home schooling my children and the Ups and downs we all have. Looking to God to lead us to do what is right for Our family, me being a submissive wife to my husband Todd and a loving Mom to our children! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Wed, 13 Dec 2006 12:23:00 -0600 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 12:23:00 -0600 An Update Please keep me and my family in your prayers. The last few days have been very hard on us all. Todd got home safely. So that is good Maya is still in Tx with her father she wants to live there now and not here so she did not come home.   This has been hard on the whole family so that is why I have not posted.  Please just pray for us that Gods will , would be done. Thank you. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/254017/ Wed, 13 Dec 2006 12:23:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/254017/ Maya and Todd are coming home! So Todd had his interviews yesterday, they went really well. But after he had time to think and pray about it he does not think that this job is for him. The pay is great the location is great, But the time he would be away from us would be a lot. He would be on the road 50% of the time. He was in the Navy and says he spent enough time away from family then and does not want to do it again. So if they call him back he will turn them down, all the pay in the world is not worth being away from family.    Next week he goes on a different interview. This one is in Ohio too; Delaware and he would not have to be spending time on the road away from us. This is the one both Todd and I have been having really good feelings about. We found a church there and we have also found a home all we need now is Todd to get a job there. It would be a job that Todd has been wanting for awhile now.   We just need to put it all in Gods hands. Todd getting the job or not is all up to God, Gods will for us is prefect. Even if is may not be what we think we want at the time.   Todd is coming home tonight, he will be here around 9:30 can’t wait to see him.  Maya is coming home from Texas tonight too she will be here just a little bit earlier then Todd, she seemed to have a good time in Texas with her father. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/252730/ Sat, 9 Dec 2006 09:19:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/252730/ While Daddy's away... Last night was the 1st part of the interview he did well with it and then had to sign up for the region interview for today. The region he is interviewing for is Ohio, it is all of Ohio. Not just NW, NE Ohio the whole state, now that is some traveling job! His interviews for today started at 10:00 this morning. Please pray all goes well, and Gods will is done. Pray he comes home safely tomorrow.   Things are going ok around here. Ian is doing well in his school and being a little helper. Shannon was trying to get away with things she normal would not try to get away with yesterday, but is doing a lot better today. Shawn is being Shawn, soon he will be a good boy I know it! At least I am praying he will. TJ is being a good little guy, he goes into our bed room and looks for Todd in bed it is sad when he sees that daddy is not there.   So far TJ has went potty in the bathroom 2 times we would take his diaper off and he would run to the bathroom and go pee pee like a big boy… to bad he is to short….  He is getting so big!! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/252355/ Fri, 8 Dec 2006 13:30:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/252355/ TJ playing "school" Our littlest school boy!   <center><a href=http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=48053&cdate=20061205&ctime=161318 target=_blank><img src=http://www.dropshots.com/photos/48053/20061205/161318.jpg border=0></a> <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Photo Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Upload Video</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Video Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Share Photos</a></center> <center><a href=http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=48053&cdate=20061205&ctime=161323 target=_blank><img src=http://www.dropshots.com/photos/48053/20061205/161323.jpg border=0></a> <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Photo Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Upload Video</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Video Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Share Photos</a></center> <center><a href=http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=48053&cdate=20061205&ctime=161402 target=_blank><img src=http://www.dropshots.com/photos/48053/20061205/161402.jpg border=0></a> <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Photo Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Upload Video</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Video Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Share Photos</a></center> <center><a href=http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=48053&cdate=20061205&ctime=161408 target=_blank><img src=http://www.dropshots.com/photos/48053/20061205/161408.jpg border=0></a> <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Photo Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Upload Video</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Video Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Share Photos</a></center> <center><a href=http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=48053&cdate=20061205&ctime=161414 target=_blank><img src=http://www.dropshots.com/photos/48053/20061205/161414.jpg border=0></a> <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Photo Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Upload Video</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Video Sharing</a> - <a href=http://www.dropshots.com/>Share Photos</a></center> http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/250776/ Tue, 5 Dec 2006 19:44:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/250776/ Tis' The Season Ian is almost done with 1st grade!! I am so happy for him; he is getting slow now getting bored with the same 1st grade things. So it is becoming hard to keep his mind on his work. Shannon is doing well in her school, she is being slow here lately too I think it is a Christmas thing going on they are all excited about the thing our church is doing for Christmas. All the kids are excited about it.   We have a Christmas Supper on the 15th, hopefully we will make it. Then we have the Christmas Kids play, Candle Light service on Christmas Eve. So much to look forward to! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/250677/ Tue, 5 Dec 2006 16:59:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/250677/ Lots going on Been a busy past few days sorry I have not wrote!!   We got a Suburban on Friday; it is a 99, in very good condition. Todd is so excited about it. It is an 8 passenger. So that is nice for us all to have room. What is really nice is I am able to drive it!! I was not able to drive the van it was hard for me to, it was scary.  It is a pretty sandalwood color, clothe inside, tow package and all. God is so great!   I am doing well; the baby is a very active one always moving around. He likes getting his feet up in my ribs already!  I can’t wait to meet this little guy.   Todd goes on his interview this Thursday in Chicago, I don’t like it when he is gone but maybe he will be back with new of a new job! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/249463/ Sun, 3 Dec 2006 18:23:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/249463/ Birthday and Snow! It snowed the past 2 nights. The kids love it!! Was not much it is all melted before noon but they like seeing snow. It has been very cold the past few days!   Yesterday was my birthday it was pretty good day, we got the lights bought for outside and we bought me a birthday cake and meal. The birthday meal will be tonight instead of yesterday because we where all full we had ate at Wal-mart because we had missed lunch and we all were very hungry around 3 so we had a small supper.   Today Todd is putting up the lights outside can’t wait to see what the house looks like!!

Had a good appointment with the midwife… I think. Nothing new really I just need to rest and take it easy. Baby’s heart rate is good and strong; he is moving all over the place the midwife got to see my belly moving all over. The midwife I saw is not the normal one I see; I will see Linda on the 14th.   Todd’s interview that was on the 1st is now going to be moved to probably the 15th. I pray he gets a job in Ohio soon! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/246296/ Tue, 28 Nov 2006 14:49:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/246296/ What a week!! The past week has been crazy! Starting last Tuesday there has been something going on with someone in our house. Last Tuesday I was going to swat the dog for peeing on TJ’s toy and I hit the chair and broke my middle finger on my right hand. That made doing anything hard, like making Thanksgiving dinner.  Good thing my mom was here to help me.   After Thanksgiving dinner TJ got sick all over the place, it was not from the meal because he hardly ate anything, it is so sad seeing a 14 month old baby get sick. He had a tummy flu or something, he was a little sick still on Friday but. Was really grumpy, and started pulling his ears on Saturday.   We took him to the doctor to find out he has a double ear infection and a rash form of strep. Poor baby we got him his medicine and went home to find out Ian was sick with the tummy flu! Ian was so sick all night I have never seen anyone get sick as often as he did in my life.   As I was getting Ian and TJ ready for bed I went to the bathroom and found out I was spotting, ok things are all going crazy now. I called L&D and was told to come in and get checked out. With having a baby born at 23 week due to bleeding, this was a hard thing to deal with. I spent a lot of time just sitting there praying. Went to the L&D to find out that the OB on call was the same OB that was on call when Elijah was born at 23 weeks. I just prayed more, after all it is all in Gods hands.   I was monitored and Jacob was doing awesome, the nurse and the doctor said he was very reactive more reactive then most babies at his gestational age. My cervix is long closed and firm. Jacobs head is down but when the doctor examines me he moves away. So all is good with him. I have been told to rest as much as I can and just take it easy.   Sunday morning we woke up to everyone being sick, we all had the tummy flu Sunday was a crazy day here for sure. I am still spotting a little but it seems to be getting better http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/245461/ Mon, 27 Nov 2006 10:21:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/245461/ The day after Thanksgiving! Well yesterday went well! We had deep fried Turkey that came out really yummy!! Green bean casserole with fresh green beans it came out great. Sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing. Everything was so yummy!!!   We talked to Maya in the morning she seems to be having fun we had talked to Shane on Monday so did not talk to him last night, that was hard.   After the meal we had pumpkin pie, chocolate raspberry cheese cake, and meninc meat pie. Everyone had a pretty good time. After we were all done and we were cleaning the kitchen poor TJ got so sick!! We had to rush him to the shower to clean him up, it was not that he ate to much it was he got the tummy flu!!   He has it today still to his poor little tummy. It is so sad seeing a baby get sick. He seems to be doing a lot better tonight. sure hope he gets over it soon!. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/244396/ Fri, 24 Nov 2006 19:56:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Tanya/244396/
