These Are the Days

-
I really like Dollar General school books.
They are simple
And efficient.
Deisha loves doing them
And is learning so quickly.
I feel sort of overwhelmed this year.
School is getting more difficult
For the big kids,
Which means they need more help.
I have two early readers
Which means we do everything together.
And I have 2 babies.
I think you know what that means.
Then there's this job...
I sort of have to work to
Help foot the bill.
It's just a little bit
That makes ends meet.
These kids want to eat
Every single day!
It's a challenge that I am
Not quite up for,
And not able to back out of.
We are in it now, baby!
No turning back...
It's just a good thing the Dollar General
Has school books.
Every little bit helps!

      I miss our Sunday talks!! Every week I think after church I will snuggle down for some down time and call you, and then I get home and try to snuggle down and -- then I caulk the tub. And the sink. And do laundry. make dinner. change diapers. help with algebra. fall asleep for a second at the kitchen sink. then it's 10:00. So... Like I said, I will only have to work for three years. So that'll be good! And besides, I am coming to your house so we can sit and talk day and night!! WOOHOO!!

I woke up this morning Fully realizing that He is gone. There is nothing I can Think Or say Or pray That will undo that. Now we have to Navigate through another day Without him. Like learning how to walk On new legs. Pray for my strength To come only from the Him. Mine is faulty. May the comfort of our Lord Come to those around me Through these two arms And these two ears And this trickle of tears. Lvb

  This dog is a fierce opponent of mine. For over a year I have avoided the last leg of my two-mile walk because of his ferocious bark. I have a fear of dogs from childhood that is pretty irrational, but I am able to reason myself out of running scared, sometimes. Instead of walking to the end of his block, I would just retrace the distance over an area that was dog-free. It felt silly, but it kept me safe. Then one day there were two walkers ahead of me that managed to get to the end of the block with no sign of attack. I could hear the dog barking, but he didn’t approach, so I assumed there was an electric fence. Oh the joy I felt at this discovery! I began to shed my fear and walk freely to the end of the trail.  I was so happy about my newfound freedom that I decided to write about it. So one day, I stopped on the sidewalk in front of the dog’s house to take a photo of him. Before I knew it he was charging at me, barking viciously. He got closer and closer and I walked quickly down

Hi, have you met Dale? Than you know why this picture shocks me everytime I look at, it's like I'm seeing it for the first time. So I'm praying that I'll have at LEAST one writing project done by next spring. With the new home schooling goals, I don't know how practical that is, but without a forty hour commitment to working every week, starting in October, I'll have a little free tiME! WE GOT THE JOB!!! Dale interviewed today. We should have a reporting date in October. Thank you all, with all sincerity, for your prayers for us and the timing on this crazy thing. It has been worth the wait- for this. If we had not been forced to wait the past months, Dale would have gone into the interview totally unprepared, overweight and out of shape. But God... For years we have lived our lives like Mario- when he's invisible and the fast music is playing- invincible. (my first big word as a kid) When we first got married, Dale worked at Blockbuster as a manage
