Sickness



I will spare you the details, but we have had a little bit of sickness in our house. Today is Malakhi's turn!

Elisabeth has broken her left wrist/arm. I had a headache yesterday while the "sickness" was around and didn't want her to go roller skating with her school. However, she ended up riding with a friend of hers. I had a looming feeling of doom but dismissed it ( I try not to focus on negativity) . Within a half hour of her leaving I got the dreaded phone call saying she had fallen and hurt her arm. I asked which one and when I heard it was the one she broke when she was four I just knew it was broken again. I went right away. Her dad ended up taking her to the emergency room. We will get her in to see the orthopedic doctor for a cast this week. Big SIGH! She is fun to take care of. She can't change her clothes, put her hair up, tie her shoes.... It is like having a three year old again only more impatient and demanding! LOL! She really has been doing great. However, she is the talk of her class right now. She has gotten a few calls and e-mails to check on her. I think she is enjoying the attention!

She and Malakhi are going to represent their new school in the "first in fitness" competition. Malakhi is going to run the hundred yard dash(he ran it in 14.4 seconds) and Elisabeth is doing the standing long jump (she jumped 6'4"). I sure hope her arm doesn't interfere! Her dad told her it would help her... LOL! How? I'm not sure!

We hosted some guest in our home that were serving at our church this weekend. We ended up with three teenage boys. They were a pleasure to host! Very nice young men!

Shallow and empty



I am feeling shallow, empty and transparent lately!

We do have a lot going on. We got an offer on our house and we are under contract BUT..... and there is always a but...... now there is some concern about the buyers credit.

If it is time for God to sell the house, then it will sell. If not we continue to move ahead.

Blessings

Dreaming



I know it is because of the "anniversaries" that are occurring, but I am having a dream. It's not the same setting or situation, but it always ends with me searching for my dad and he is no where to be found. Sometimes in the dream I am reasoning out it is too early in life for my dad to be gone.... for example one time Malakhi was a baby and Daddy didn't die until he was just past 8 and another time Daddy was younger this his age at his death. I wake up really missing him with a feeling of emptiness.

Tomorrow is Mommy and Daddy's wedding anniversary. I'm sure it will be a hard day on Mommy! Fifty two years!

Lynn, thanks for encouraging me! It would be easier just to crawl in a hole!

I wonder how long I will continue to have this theme in my dreams? Will I ever stop looking for Daddy?

Anniversaries



I have been keeping it light lately. Just know there are a lot of anniversaries on the way. Anniversaries I would rather not celebrate!

We have been super busy. Making up snow days and guess what.... more snow tonight! Oh well. We will see what happens with school tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in! I know I have been silent.... but I am okay..... just busy trying to ignore the time of the year we are entering! :o)
