I am back!!!

Hey Peeps,

I am back,Did you you miss me?? So much has happened since my last post. As some of you know my sweet daughter deals with mental illness and with that comes not such good days for everyone. Also my ex-brother in laws has burned down. My sister's kids were safe but his ex-fiance kids were not. Two made it out,sadly Ayden did not. With that come lots of blame,anger,and a variety of emotions from the mothers of these kids. I did a donation run for them as well as one of the churches. My ex-brother in law,Toby was blessed with a new trailer home(Free). Lots of people donated new beds and so many new house stuff. One of the local funeral homes donated the casket and Aydens flower arrangements. My heart broke and still breaks for my nieces and nephew who lost their half brother.
Some of you know my daughter will begin public school again after four years of homeschooling,yes,she has attended before. I am praying and hoping this will be a positive thing for us both. I need a break and need someone who is trained more in this area of her life. There is a season for everything and can not wait to buy some fun school supplies for her.
What are some ways you save money and favorite stores for school supplies? As always thanks for reading!

Schedule

Hi Peeps!

 Couple of days ago, I attended a used homeschool curriculum sale. I was so excited to be able to find three subjects with no writing in the books! Saves my hand a Ton of pain from erasing.   I really enjoy homeschooling through the whole year. I feel like if I get behind or sick we have time to make sure we can catch up. Today,I sat down and planned our new schedule out for the 2016-2017 school year. The only two subjects, I need to purchase are math and vocabulary. Here is my sons schedule for this upcoming school year. Right now he is on summer break and is even planning on a summer camp for Boy Scouts.






                      What are some of you guys school schedules like and curriculum you love.

Different Seasons

Hi Peeps!

Every since we toured the school for my daughter. My son has been interested in attending as well. I told him he had to complete seventh grade at home which will be this fall. My heart kind of breaks because I enjoy my time with my kids. However,I know they need and want their independence.





Today he went to the doctor and got a wellness check up. Nothing like getting a shot and a physical he took it like a Champ! I totally thought he deserved the snicker blast from Sonic like he asked. The doctor he saw today asked him what school he attended. My son proudly said,homeschooling! This guy was like that's awesome,my wife and I plan on homeschooling our kids. Then proceeded to ask me what curriculum I use so I shared some of my knowledge and homeschool groups available.


Hope you guys have a wonderful day and as always thank you for reading!

On the Mend

Hi Peeps!

Today,I rested a little too long,we all slept in. Now, I am working on getting this house back in order, I get tired easily. I went outside to spray my minivan down with Lysol,giggle. That may sound like not much but started getting shaky and drained feeling. My husband told me to get back in this house and lay down,I complied. Then, I was up again working here and there in my room with much needed breaks and kids help. Now my room is clean,yay!






                                                          This kills Germs in my Van!

Hello ER

Hi Peeps!

Nothing like feeling horrible then suddenly feeling like your are  going to die. Our house has been Smack with the stomach bug. I will spare you the details but the trash can and toilet were my friends. I passed out several times(at least 12). My husband took me to the ER after, I threw up just one more time. My husband help me get in our van while my sweet daughter got towels and more bags just in case.

Our town recently starting getting these set alone ER clinic type things.
My husband went inside to let them know,I needed a wheelchair . I held my head so the bright lights wouldn't make me feel more sick. The motion of the van and wheelchair ride certainly didn't help. I was severely dehydrated, low blood pressure,and white blood cell count was up,oh joy. Now,I get two bags of fluid,nausea medicine,three blankets,bottled water,only if, I promised to wet my mouth. Blood taken,urine sample,and oh yes,please drink this nasty water mix we need a ct scan. I went in at 9pm and didn't leave til four in the morning.

I do have to say,they treated my husband and I, Very well. Made sure I had enough blankets as long as no fever. Asked my husband if he needed,blanket,pillow,or a drink. As we are waiting for this lovely contrast to go through my body. My daughter texted us she has just now gotten sick,oy.
As we are leaving the registration lady gives my husband a goody bag for me and my nurse hands me a blanket with their logo on it. The waiting area was so pretty now that I was able to see it but glad to leave.

My kids seem to be much better as in tolerating food and just moving everywhere. As, I am sick to my stomach,tired,and just feel blah,sickness always hits me hard.
                                                       My daughter took my blanket.
                    ***Update*** I am doing much better but get tired easily***Update***


                                                                      Waiting area
Nurses station on the left and on the right patient rooms.

                                                     I had a Very professional and wonderful experience.

Its Hard

Hi Peeps!

Lately my husband and I have been battling some bad news. He is a guy so he takes it more as a disappointment and I take it differently. Since we have some infertility problems we thought why not adopt a child who could use a good home. Due to my daughter's mental illness we were told we can not adopt til she is stable. My heart is broken not just for me but for my child. My daughter is an amazing,beautiful,talented,artist,and animal lover. Life is hard sometimes but we are doing the best we can.

If you have wondered how to Adopt. I did a blog about that and if you have any questions,I will do my best to answer them. There is a ton of kids out there who need a wonderful home to feel loved,protected,and stable.







What breaks my heart is my beautiful daughter literally only has one friend. I am sure it's due to her mental illness and moodiness. She is trying hard to be "normal" and some days are harder than others. Monday, I was able to get a 504 for her starting school in the fall. A 504 will give her acommendations in school. I will miss homeschooling her and getting that extra time with her. I know this is best for her right now. My heart is still broken for her in different ways.

Stigma is a mark of disgrace that sets a person apart. When a person is labelled by their illness they are seen as part of a stereotyped group. Negative attitudes create prejudice which leads to negative actions and discrimination.
