Nothing EVER Goes As Planned...

So we've finished ONE batch of fudge...and in the process of boiling one mixture to add it to the chocolate and stuff...well...Kiddo got sick. He told Daddy - oh sorry...I mean DAD now - that he thought he was gonna get sick so he hurried to the bathroom. Poor baby! He looks pitiful, doesn't he? (Chuy the Chihuahua is keeping him company while Dad helps me with the fudge.)
Well, like I said we have made one batch and I have another batch to go...THEN we'll have Christmas finished once I get everything packaged. Here are the pics of our Christmas stick that I promised you. First, with the flash so you can see our Christmas-themed books and packages with PART of our Christmas gifts ready to go. (Oh...and the nuts...as if there aren't enough nuts in THIS house already!)

Then one with-OUT the flash so you can oooh and aahh the pretty lights like I do. :o)


Poor Kiddo was just teary-eyed as he said goodnight. He always gets clingy and weepy when he's sick and it sure does make it hard to put him in bed! I would LOVE to cuddle him and rock him - especially because he's in the mood for it right now - but I will just go check on him in a few minutes. I do hate it when he's sick...:o( He looks so sweet when he looks at me with his pouty lip though.

Well, I'm gonna go so I can get the last batch of fudge finished before bed tonight and after I get is started I'm gonna go check on Kiddo.

Be well and be blessed...and if you don't mind, please say a prayer for Kiddo. Usually when he gets this way it is strep throat - and we won't be able to get him to the doctor until Monday probably. :o(

Thanks so much for being wonderful prayer warriors for us!

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
