Health
Illness is never welcomed.
It slows the smooth running of our lives; Getting sick is like tripping and sometimes falling hard! Wouldn't it be nice to be able to plan the cold! We could make space for it on our calendar.
What could be worse then being sick and the work piling around you?
What about being sick and the doctors cant find the source.

Sleepless
Little man ( 22 mnths) couldnt sleep last night so i put him in bed with us.
He snuggled in-between us and tried to rest.
But he can't lie still. He sung a song, pretended to snore and wriggled and wriggled!

Happy kids
After my seventh child was born I felt so exhausted. Just thinking of trying to school four grades while nursing a baby and watching two toddlers was an overwhelming thought.
I decided that I'd enroll the four older kids in the local schools so I could get some help educating them, while I focused on the other areas of raising children.
I had no idea what a night mare it would be for me.
The list of supplies that I had to provide! The doctors visits, paper work and lists of rules was overwhelming!
As the six months wore on I realized that the school system had more flaws then it had help in educating young people. Everyday the boys would come home and I would have to teach for hours because they didn't get the help they needed at school. The worst part is what I saw happening emotionally to each of them. They were growing more angry and defensive, and each week they seemed to be a little more rebellious.
I was really nervous telling the kids that I was pulling them out of public school. I wasn't sure they would understand, but they rejoiced when I told them. Their attitudes at home became a lot more peaceful and they became more helpful and sweet again.
The school experience was fun in some areas but I think the negatives out weighed the positive .
Each one had their challenges with bullies at school, teachers that are stretched too far and they had too many after school expectations.
I rejoice in having my Nathan and Jay back. Both boys are a lot more relaxed and happy with the thought of being home.
