Ramblings of the Lindsey Mom
• Jun. 21, 2008 - Today
My husband is still down in Alabama. It may be another week before he comes home. He is trying his hardest to get home soon. However his brother is being lazy when he's not at work or school. He would rather spend time with his friends doing fun stuff than help clean out his dad's cabin or prepare the other stuff in order for Bryant to come home. What his brother isn't getting in his head that even though his brother is down there, he is down there to get stuff done about his dad, not for a vacation. We have been without my husband for two weeks now. His brother doesn't have any family other than us and his mom. He doesn't have any kids or a wife. He has a girlfriend and is expecting his first child in December. I don't think he understands though. Bo is really missing us. He was supposed to be at his dad's this morning at 8. He went to wake up his brother to tell him to get ready to go. His brother said that he would come up a little later. Later probably means sometime this afternoon. What his brother doesn't understand is that Bo has a family and a job to come home to. He has been gone for two weeks already and it has been stressful not only for him to be there but for us up here to be without him. When I talked to Bo this morning, he told me what his brother said. I told Bo that he needs to make sure how much this is effecting all of us because he's not helping out in his spare time. I felt that I should call the brother in law and chew him out because I was so angry that he's not helping as much as he should be.
Anyway. That is my vent for the day. We are doing laundry today because we slacked a little yesterday. We are also going to get groceries and going to church. I can't wait.
Have a good afternoon. I hope I will too.

• Jun. 18, 2008 - Friendships
I have been struggling lately with friendships. I have a lot of acquaintances and people who I can talk to, but I don't have a lot of friends. I have a lot of people who I homeschool with but, we don't do anything other than school stuff together. I don't have anyone who I can just call up on the phone and have a conversation with or just chat with. Sometimes that's hard even to do with my sisters who are 27, 15, and 12. I don't really talk to my mom much either. I can talk to my dad but sometimes he's so busy that he doesn't really have time to talk to me. I talk with my husband but mostly it's just me and the kids.
My husband has been gone for a week so far. Almost two weeks. He's meeting new friends while he's down in Alabama and doing things with them. I understand that he needs this as his dad just died last week. However I'm still up here with the kids and no one else really to talk with. People who say they are my friends, I don't think really are because they don't call me to do stuff. They don't even call me just to talk. It seems like whenever I want to just talk with someone, I have to make the move. Then we can talk for an hour or so. It seems that I have to take the initiative and sometimes it feels like I'm bothering them.
I just wish that I had a few friends who liked to do what I do. I wish I had a few friends who were here for me when I needed them. Who would come over for a visit and see how I'm doing. I wish I had a few friends who liked me for me. I wish I had a few friends who just wanted to hang out with me.
We live in a small town. Most people know each other and because of that they know their families as well. So a lot of people "know" me because of my parents and grandparents, as well as my siblings. They don't really know me but they think they do because of who my family comes from.
As I sit here in my living room at 11:28 at night, I am thinking about what my husband is doing. There is an hour difference in time between here and there. I wait by the phone every night to hear his voice before I go to sleep. Most nights since his dad has died, I have had to call him because he hasn't called me. I am feeling selfish I guess because he is by himself without the responsibility of the kids. Now I know why his brother didn't want him to take our son down with him. It was so that he could do fun stuff with him and not have to worry about our son. I sit here night after night until after midnight most nights just to hear his voice before I go to sleep and I don't think he cares much. He tells me he loves me each time we hang up the phone but sometimes it's hard to believe.
I've had a really rough day today because the kids have been arguing most of the day and hitting each other. This has been going on since Bo has left for Alabama. So for a week I have dealt with the fact that the kids are acting this way. It is very hard on me because I am the only person dealing with it. Until today, I have kept this very quiet so not to worry him or frustrate him because he's not here. But he's not here and it's very hard for all of us. Tonight Grace came down and told me that even though she was tired, she is having a hard time falling asleep. That has been going on since Daddy went away she told me. She also has been sleep walking which scares me. She has done it twice this week. I'm just worried that my six year old is going to walk in her sleep and unlock the door and go outside. It is weird to know that she is sleep walking when she looks completely awake.
I know that Bo is my best friend but sometimes I wonder if he feels the same way about me. Isn't your spouse suppose to be your best friend? I know he's mourning the death of his father. I also know that he has people down there supporting him and his brother. I need some support too and I'm not getting it.
Gotta go, I'm on the phone now. He called me first tonight. Have a good night.

• Jun. 13, 2008 - Final Update on my Father In Law
Sometimes it is really hard t share bad news with total strangers let alone people who you know. Sometime last night between 11:30 and 4:00 this morning, my father in law Terry passed away. We are all saddened that he has died. At the same time we are relieved because he isn't in any more pain and he is happy where he has gone. He was far from being a Christian man but the children and I still believe that he went to heaven. Thank you for all of your support in our time of need. Bo won't be home for a few more weeks at least because they have to have the service and then clean out his dad's house.
From what Bo said, the house is really cluttered and it's going to take a lot of work to get it cleaned out. I sure wish I was there to help out. Unfortunately, Bo doesn't want us to go down because he's afraid that the car won't make it. So we will sit up here in Maine as he is down in Alabama cleaning out his dad's home and going through his stuff.
That's all for tonight. I'm off to bed. Have a peasant night. I'm ready for the sleep to over come me.

• Jun. 8, 2008 - more updates
Today Bo left for Montgomery to go see his dad. I am saddened that the entire family couldn't go. Mostly because we haven't been apart in a long time. It is 10 at night and the kids are just now going up to bed. It's been a really long day. It's been full of happiness, sadness, and nervousness. It has also been full of tears and laughter.
Bo is currently leaving New Jersey as I am typing this. He should be in Montgomery by tomorrow afternoon. He will probably drive all night which worries me mostly because he hasn't had much sleep with worrying about his dad lately.
In other news, we got to hold my new niece today. Bo took the camera with him so my sister took pictures. I can't wait to see them. She has a lovely house. This was the first time I've seen her home since she bought it a few years ago. Bo doesn't get along with my family so it's difficult to do anything with them and him. Holding Olivia brought back so many memories of holding my own babies. She is still so small and delicate. She is such a beautiful baby too. It was such a joy to hold her.
On the home front, we are going to be starting to organize our house tomorrow. Our neighbors are heading down to Boston for the week and we are going to clean up our house. It is exciting for me because I don't have to just stop and make two different lunches for Bo and the kids. We can plan when we are going to have lunch and then keep working on organizing. The kids aren't going to like it because it is going to be a lot more work than they thought. I only found out that the neighbor's are going away this afternoon. That was after I told them that we would only work half a day on our projects. We may just work all days. We have a lot of stuff to get rid of so we'll be able to fill up the car a few times.
That's it for now. The power keeps on flickering so I'd better get off this thing before it goes out again. Have a good night. Hopefully it will stay on long enough so I can make some popcorn, and watch a movie tonight before I go to bed. Night all!

• Jun. 4, 2008 - New Hobby
I have been researching new hobbies online. Since my Father in law became sick and now I have a new niece, I have taken up digital scrapbooking. I have been having a lot of fun with it too. Here are a few samples of what we have done so far.
 This is part of our portfolio this year. I thought that I could make it look a little better by adding some scrapbook pages.
I would add more but the picture adder is being a booger and only let me add one.
So here's a little color to the dull of life. Enjoy your evening. I know I will!

First of all with a sad and heavy heart, our friend Jennifer went to be with the Lord on June 1st. She is no longer in pain and can garden all she wants in God's garden. Please keep her family in your prayers.
We need continued prayers for my father in law. He was basically told that there is nothing more they can do for him. He is just being kept comfortable and waiting until the end. We don't know when the end could come. It could be tomorrow or it could be two months from now. We are praying that he hangs on long enough for us to fix the car and to get down there to see him.
Other than that I got an awesome American History curriculum in the mail yesterday. It is really cool. The best part is that it's free. Just go to http://www.americanheritage.org for your free copy.
Have a blessed evening. I know I will.

• May. 31, 2008 - Newest Update on my Father In Law
I just wanted to thank people for prayers if you have read this. At this point I'm feeling like nobody reads this because I've only had 5 comments from all the same person. Mrs. C. don't be offended by that statement. I enjoy hearing from you.
Anyway. My father in law should be coming out of the ICU today. He is doing better. He is breathing on his own but he is still having tube feedings. The exciting part is that he is going to a regular room today. It means hopefully that there will be much more time to spend with him.
Have a good day! Today we will hopefully be working on our portfolios and finishing up a few loose ends.
Enjoy the day. I know I will. |

• May. 30, 2008 - New Father In Law Update
According to my brother in law, my father in law (T) has a feeding tube in and he is having difficulties breathing. They are giving him pain medications to keep him "comfortable". But "he should get better and recover from this". That was coming from my brother in laws mouth. From what I heard and my experience with geriatrics I know that he won't be recovering from this. I am just worried that we will never get to see him again. I'm worried that the next time Bo sees him, he'll only be a body....
I found a new airline site that is called Allegiant air. They have fairly cheap prices. The only problem would be the fact that we would have to drive seven hours from Orlando to Montgomery in order to take those flights.That is a 7 1/2 hour flight. Something we're not even considering. I don't know what else to do about it but sit and wait.
Thanks for listening. Have a peaceful day.

• May. 30, 2008 - Update on my Father In Law
From what I'm hearing in a one sided conversation, my father in law is not able to talk at this point. My husband does not want to go to Alabama alone but alas it may have to be that way. I wish there was a way that we could all go but we are having car troubles and we don't have enough money to fly all of us down. It would be almost $5,000 to go down to Alabama for the five of us.
As I'm writing this, I'm wondering if other people around the world have the same problems that we are currently having. I'm wondering if they have loved ones who are not going to be around much longer even though they should be, and they can't even afford to go see them one last time or even to bury them. I'm afraid for that. We calculated how much money in gas it would cost us to go to Alabama and back and to drive around while in Montgomery. Our calculations were the amount of $700.00 for the week we were gone. That is a ridiculous amount of money just for gas. We're not even talking about food or shelter for the week.
Anyway it's almost 1 in the morning and I'm waiting for my husband to decide whether or not he needs to be going to Alabama tomorrow or if I can go downstate to see my new niece. Who knows it may be both.
Have a good sleep. I know it may be hard for me tonight.

• May. 30, 2008 - I AM OFFICIALLY AN AUNT!!!
Sorry I didn't mean to yell that. Anyway at 11:38p.m. Eastern Time, I became an aunt to Olivia Quinn. I have no other details. I am so excited. I know that she has a beautiful set of lungs. She has her daddy wrapped around her finger already. Her and her mom are doing really well. I am so excited that my sister is a mom. It is the most wonderful thing to be ever!!
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OLIVIA!!! May you raise as much trouble as your momma did when she was younger.
Yours Truly,

• May. 29, 2008 - A Delivery Surprise
I am sitting here by the phone waiting for the arrival of my first niece, Olivia Quinn to make it into this world. My sister Mrs. B, is in labor with her first child. This is my first niece or nephew (it's a niece). Being the oldest child in a house of five children, I was able to bless the family with the first three grandchildren. Now it's my sister's turn. I am so excited and nervous. I found out that she had an epidural. This is something I never had. Her and I are going to have a lengthy talk about this because now I'm curious to know how it all went with the epidural. I want to know if it hurt pushing that sweet baby girl out. My mom called about 15 minutes ago and said that my sis was dilated to 8. An hour before that she was dilated to 6. I'm predicting that by 1031 p.m. Eastern time, my little niece will be here. I may be going downstate to see her tomorrow if things turn out okay. I'll be taking Tai with me if I go. It will be our first adventure too. My dad however recommended that we wait until she comes home from the hospital. What would the point of that be other than the fact that I have never visited her house yet. She has lived there for over a year and I still haven't seen the thing. I guess that is what happens when you live three hours away from your sister.
On another note, my father in law is not doing good right now. He has cancer and he's on pain meds right now to keep him comfortable. We know the end is near. The problem is he lives in Alabama. That would be a two day drive for us. We are unsure that our car would make it to Alabama let alone out of the state. We were hopping to make the trip in August but now we realize that he may not make it that long. He was in the hospital earlier this week because his pace maker was malfunctioning and they had to fix it. Now he's back and having difficulties breathing. We haven't seen him in 8 years. He hasn't met Grace at all. The older two were just babies when they met him so they don't really remember him at all. I just wish that Bo will have the chance to see his dad one last time before he dies. I hope that will be able to happen.
We have a friend named Jennifer who also isn't doing well. She has cancer too and the end is very near for her. They have given her about a week to a month to live. We are all heart broken about this because she is such a wonderful woman. She is a co-worker of Bo's in a company that only has 20 employees. So the employees are quite close. She has a fairly young little girl and three older girls in their teens. We pray that God shows his will to this woman and ease her of her suffering. We also pray that God comforts her family and help them to understand why he needed her in heaven.
Well I started out this post with exciting news and ended it with sad news. I hope you have a good night. I will while I'm still anxiously awaiting by the phone.

• May. 23, 2008 - Almost done
We are almost done our books from this school year. Our days have been finished for months but we still had some book work to do. Yesterday all of the kids finished their Language books. Today Tait finished her Science book. They are so excited to be finishing school books. It is rare here since we have changed curriculum's many times to find what works best for us. This year I think we have finally found it.
I am still in need of health for 6th grade. Science for 6th grade. I need to pick up new Spelling and Language books at the books store. I love these books and they are cheap. Plus the kids like them too. We also need to find an answer key for Tait's Saxon 76 math book or I can't do it for her. Other than that, we are all set for the new school year in September.
This is the first year since we have started homeschooling that we have taken the summer off. I don't know if it is a good idea or not but we will try it. I may only take a few months off and start again. I really enjoy taking December off because it is a really busy month with birthday's and celebrating Jesus' birth as well. They are all crowded together too. It's not like they are spaced out through the month. We have Bo's birthday and his brother's the same day on the 14th. The 21st is Bubba's and my grandfather's then on the 25 is Christmas. So it's right week after week of celebrations. It can be hard but it is so much easier if we aren't doing school book work. We do projects to prepare ourselves for Christmas and these special birthdays though. This year however is going to be extra special because we will have a new addition to our Christmas Eve tradition. My new niece will be here to enjoy it with us. She will only be 6 months old but it will be the perfect time to see her.
I hope you all have a good night. I know I will. Good night. |

• May. 20, 2008 - Yesterday
Yesterday afternoon we had a thunder and lightening storm. First it started raining then we got a lot of hail.
Also in the past week we have gone Letter boxing. It is like a big treasure hunt with stamping. It is a lot of fun.
Here's a picture from that. Miss Tait is in the purple with some other homeschool kids. They are learning about the different kinds of stamps associated with this particular search.
The kids have also had fun riding the neighbor's four wheeler. This is something new for them. They have been to the park once so far this spring as well. Here are a few pictures from those events.
      I also took this awesome picture of the sunset between the trees. It almost makes the trees look like they are on fire.
 I hope you enjoy the pictures. It was a lot of fun taking them. Have a pleasant day. |

• May. 18, 2008 - Sunday
It has been awhile since I have been on to blog. I forgot about keeping up. Anyway. Today is Sunday. It is a beautiful day in Northern Maine but alas, I am inside with the boy. He has to do school work all day today because he lied about something stupid. He also isn't allowed outside at all today which is killing me because it is so nice out.
We basically are taking a break from school until September. However we are still doing Language and Spelling for two kids. Pey is doing Language and Math because I want to save her Spelling for the next school year. Tait is finishing up her science too. Pey I think has science to finish up. Hunter just started his science because the other one that we had bought was horrible and I finally got an Abeka one. Hopefully we can be done with this soon. It would be really nice.
In other news allergy season is definitely upon us. Everyone is being hit with it as well as a virus of some sort. I am feeling miserable today. I just want to crawl into bed but I have to stay up with Hunt while he is working on his science.
We went to many yard sales yesterday. It was nice to be out with our family. I got a lot of new clothes and they are so comfortable. I got a really comfortable skirt and Bryant likes it a lot on me. He gave me many compliments on it. I think I will wear that skirt often. Today I'm wearing some pink plaid capri's that I got as well as a new pink t shirt. I am thankful for friends who have had gastric bypass so I can have their old clothes.
I'd leave you off with a picture but alas the newer pictures are on the other computer and it's not on.
Have a great day. Aunt B. |

Well it's Monday again. I am going to have a really long post tomorrow I promise. Tonight I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still struggling with Bubba. He is having fits and crying all the time. I hate to say this but I'm going to have to start putting him to bed earlier. Their dad's not going to like it because it means less time spent with him, but it seems like the only logical reasoning about it.
Well it's midnight and I'm tired tonight. I'll update more in the morning.

• Apr. 29, 2008 - Tuesday
Today was and still is a very long day. The kids procrastinated with school today. Bubba just finished at about 845. It wasn't a straight shot. There were moments of running around the house, riding in the car for the few errands we had to run, and going to pick up daddy from work. Plus there were meals in between too. When I told him it was time to brush his teeth and get ready for bed, he threw a tantrum because he didn't get to play today. Now they are procrastinating with the fact that they have to brush their teeth and get into bed. These are the days that I'm scratching my head and wondering how the heck I do it.
We made a schedule for the day. It's part of me getting more organized with school stuff. Sometime next month I am going to have a big yard sale and get rid of most of the books that are harboring the cabinets in the cellar and the clothes that the kids don't even fit into any more. That will help me to get even more organized.
Other than that, I really have been busy helping them with school work. I am tired and ready to go change the sheets on the bed, finish the movie we started last night, and fall asleep. Tomorrow I need to clean the bathroom, vacuum the couches, and clean the stove and sink. Plus I need to make the grocery list for next week. I wish that we had a chest freezer so that I could plan for a whole months worth of food. I would really like that. Unfortunately we don't and we don't have the space for that in the basement either.
Have a good night. I know I will. I may just take a shower too.

• Apr. 28, 2008 - Monday
I am having a hard time to figure out what to put for titles to my bogs. I am basically rambling about things that are happening each day. The other night we saw a moose. It was big. It is really funny because my neighbor came in and said there's a moose crossing the street. He was running in to grab his camcorder (I was next door). I also grilled burgers for the first time in the season on Saturday night.
Tai is struggling in her maps and geography book. She shouldn't be but she doesn't like to read directions. If she read the directions and didn't take the easy way out all the time, then she wouldn't have such a hard time with it. Grace is not wanting to do her subtraction today claiming that it is too hard to do. I am procrastinating with the fact that I need to file papers from last week. I have a big pile so it makes it even more so that I don't want to do it. Bubba is working on his maps and geography. He really likes it. It's one of those ones that you buy at Walmart.
I am still suffering from allergies and sinus pressure. I've had a headache for three days now. I'm sure it will get better soon.
Other than that, not much is going on here. I think we're going to the park this afternoon. We are supposed to be painting and decorating rocks also. We'll see how creative the kids will get. For now I'm just hoping that they get done with their school work soon.
Have a good day. I know I will.

• Apr. 26, 2008 - Saturday
Here it is, the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday. I have dishes to do, a menu to plan, and a grocery list to write. Plus I still have laundry to finish and my first cup of coffee to drink. I haven't done any of this. I want to be outside. It is nice out. The sun is shining, it's 50 degrees out. Why can't we go out for a walk or a drive or just get out of the house for awhile? Well...........
My husband (though I love him very much) is very lazy. Especially lazy when it comes to the weekend. He gets breakfast in bed in the morning, all his meals cooked for him and he gets to stay in bed all weekend. He doesn't do anything else. He complains of how he is gaining weight. When he's not in bed, he's either smoking a cigarette outside or playing on on of our four game systems. If we do anything during the weekend, he waits until it is almost night time to go. I am so tired of this. We separated in February of 06 because of this. I was going to file for divorce and I couldn't stand not being talked to or having a lump next to me. He promised when we got back together that he wouldn't fall back into the same patterns. Well, he has fallen back into the same patterns. The one difference is that he doesn't hang out with his best friend like he used to.
A few weeks ago we put up conditions for our children and told them that they could not play with video games, watch movies (we don't have cable), or play on the computer for two weeks. I quickly told him that he was included in the video game part too. He didn't even last a week. Let alone two. He is so addicted to video games that when he comes home from work each night, the first thing he does is turn on the game system while we are putting supper on the table. This is becoming too much for me. It's becoming too much for our son especially. He wants his dad to do stuff with him outside or inside like playing with him and reading to him and just doing guy stuff with him. He doesn't want to play video games with him. It is so hard to see my son in tears because he wants his dad to do stuff with him that the neighbor kids dad is doing. Basically the neighbor kids dad is just playing with them. That's all. That's what he wants to do with his dad. His dad's answer was this: All dad's are different. Some dads like to do things that other dads don't. This dad likes to play video games and play on the computer. You are welcome to do that with me.
I don't know about you, but I think I would be upset by that answer too. I love my husband a lot and I just wish he would stop being lazy and step up to the challenge of being a good dad who plays with his kids rather than play video games all the time. |

• Apr. 25, 2008 - Today
Today was an interesting day. We were pretty happy for most of the day. Hunt had a little bit of a fit when it came time to do math. Fortunately for him, I was there to help him out. He figured it all out fine. Other than that, it was a good day. The little kids were supposed to sleep in Tai's room tonight but Grace fell asleep before they could make it into the room. So they are all in their own beds. Hopefully they will be able to do their sleep over tomorrow night.
The sun shone today. Unfortunately we still have yet to see any wildlife around us. This is quite unusual because by now we've at least seen a fox or a few moose. The most animals we have seen are the cats who are finally breaking out for the spring. Our neighbor's cat climbed trees today. It was fun watching him climb. Piper however has no desire to climb trees anymore. Although with watching Sylvester today, I'm sure she will start to do that. Her and Sylvester don't get along yet, but she doesn't really know him yet. I'm sure by the end of the summer, they will get along fast.
Spelling tests were all good today. I added some bonuses from past lists they have already studied, just to make sure they know them. They all did good. Hunt got a 102, Tai got a 103 and Grace got a 103 as well.
Next week we are going to be getting together with some homeschool families for a play date. They will be coming here one day and we all will be visiting and playing. Hopefully it will be a nice day and we can BBQ for lunch. Also we need to pick up some propane for the grill so that we can actually BBQ. I'm sure we can do that this weekend. I am excited for this because it has been a little while since we have had people over.
That's all for today. Have a great weekend!! :)

• Apr. 23, 2008 - A Fresh Start
I felt the need to start my blog over. It seems like I got behind on everything. Including my life. I have put everyone and everything ahead of me that I forgot who I was and where I was going. Since we started back on a more organized route for schooling, I have been able to have more time to do things that need to be done. For instance, I have time to think. That is very dangerous for me. I have time to have coffee with my friends. This doesn't happen. I wish it happened more often but our schedules are always conflicting. I just wish that there was a day when my friends say "hey lets go out and do something". Perhaps once the kids are a little older this will happen. I am hoping so anyway.
I am going to be an aunt in about 6 weeks. Though I am very excited, I'm a little jealous too because I feel that I wanted to have just one more baby. We can't though. The baby factory in the Lindsey house was shut down 6 years ago after our last baby was born. Our family is complete although sometimes I dream that by some supreme thing, we have another baby. We don't have room in any way for another baby though especially money wise. We struggle on a daily bases just to be happy with what we have now.
Our school year is going to end sometime in June. I need to get my list together and figure out how we'll pay for all the new school books that will be ordered in the next few months. We do need some more reading books though. That is something that is always a hit in our home. One place that I've used before is The Book Samaritan. When we haven't been able to afford our school books, this has helped us out a lot.
Well it doesn't sound like the kids are doing their school work, so I'd better get back down there and supervise. Have a great day! I know I will!! |

About Me
We are a homeschool family of five. We live in Northern Maine. About 5 minutes from the Canadian border. We live in the country so we see a lot of wildlife. We homeschool our three children who are 10, 8, and 6. We have a Pomapoo named Bella and a Torti cat named Piper. I am looking to share our life as we journey through school days, special events, struggles, and every day happenings.
Welcome along for the ride. It may be bumpy but it works!
