Arizona Rock and Mneral Museum

8 am calls to the road to school...two tired kids who need more rest...One very tired mom who is not at her best.

After dropping the kids off just before the tardy bell , I came home to see about washing my hair in the kitchen sink. Thank my sweet husband NO Dishes in the sink. Flying out the door at 8:50am I arrive to sign in at the school office to find out that the field trip is loading the bus at 9 not 9:30 as was thought! All of the third grade classes are loading as I open the door to find Beauty's Teacher unaware! She Thanks the Almighty for my arrival and tells the children to follow me...
She did a head count that I repeat moments later as we are on the buss all 23 of the children and I. She brings up the rear and we double checked the head count!
YEE Haa!
Once on the but we all breath. She gives me the forms for the treasure hunt and I copied the Answer Key. We smile at each other. The other parent helper missed the bus. It will be a very long drive for her to the city but she will have quiet. You know the thing that is unheard of on a bus with 50 children total and three brave women. (Make that 4 including the amazing driver)

Now and I, being the sage room mother of many years before my own children...Had EARPLUGS! :)
I had grabbed a baggie of Dum-Dum suckers as a happy incentive to busy mouths, however they are not allowed on the bus. The kids really had my attention and were very grateful.
We arrived without a hitch.

At first he had them contained :)
Good kids in a scoop!

We had our orientation and then we were off on our treasure hut. Mapping our way through the museum. The kids had tho find the case that held the clue and then write the answer down when they figured it out. I kept my group as a team and no one went an until the whole team had the answer written down. I had children all varying levels of abilities. Most of the kids did real well at helping each other. The stones were beautiful!

They all found the answers and took turns leading the group

Sedimentary rocks.

This was my group I took out into the museum. Beauty is in the pink. Good kids all.
They are standing behind the picket fence. A Rock and mineral table set before them. Everything is stone on the table.

Did you know the difference between a rock and a minersl.
A mineral is a single substance, a rock is made up of more than one substance.
crystals are 6 sides minerals.

Head counts to bus loading that was a lot of fun!

Oh the joy of another day with children.

Oh the joy!
When we went through the tunnel on the freeway I called out "tunnel" and all of our kids held their breath until we cleared the tunnel the whole back half of the bus was silent. Teacher and I got a real kick out of it.
The other teacher and parent helper was in the front of the bus great ladies!

One last head count Yep all there. Didn't loose a one! :)
I got home at noon. read my e-mail had a plate of left overs and slept until 2:50 when I awoke to fly out the door, pause a few moments to clear the webs and picked the kids up at the curb in perfect time.

I just finished cutting this out while I awaited the down load of all the images.
I still have the stars to cut out.
This stands up, rick rack (thank you Carrie the white you gave me in that box is perfect for it) on the back side is sandwiched between two trees and then they all all sewn together and accordion like fold up. I found this this summer when that fabric store closed down.
Christmas is fast approaching!

Monday begins with....

These several aprons I cut out. They are so cute.Two of them will be teacher gifts.

Last night Dash asked if I could get some jars and paints down for him. He said" I want to play scientist and see what happens when I mix the colors.

I awoke to this cute set up. Water 5 cents, I emptied all the glasses and put pennies = amount due. Dad had put a quarter in before he left.

The aftermath. Most of the dishes are washed thank you sweet Husband. I have a few tasks like the good flatware. I do not put it through the dishwasher.

Sunday Smiles

Today we went to our new church. It is the second time we went. It was the 50th year anniversary there. We had a lovely time. A very long celebration of testimony and praise and history expressed by the elders and a missionary. He told a joke a rather inappropriate one demeaned a native American in it that was shame. I over looked it yet it bugs me to hear..."I shouldn't say this but..." Good clue for us not too. :)
There was a brunch and the kids were starving for it. Kids, they know foods there and it consumes the mind. It was so wonderful to sit by my Beloved and feel his touch upon me. When his eyes are taking me in and I happen to look up to notice I am so consumed in his pleasure over me. I am humbled in it and yet exalted as a queen upon a throne.
I am resting this day and fell fast asleep between 5-7 pm to be awaken by Beauty screaming over a rift with brother. Beloved became angry knowing I would be awaken and that I so needed to rest. He covers me and protects me and fights in his spirit for me.
Yesterday he took that marathon right beside me. He kept every thing in order and entertained right along side me. Pulling the young men into pleasure of masculine computer games, keeping an extra eye on the kids. Dishes and tasks were in his hand all day willingly. They young men were so different there was a wive embittered at the arrogance and lack of respect her husband showed her. The young men are not being taught.
Dash is his fathers son. Yet a little to quick to anger. I hope he is a good husband one day to his wife. I want it to go well for the future of our Daughter as well I hope that she will be a joy and delight to a honorable man who will pursue her heart for all of the days of life they have together.

13 Random things about me tag

"Little Hearts from God" Tagged me to 13 Random things about me.

1. I own enough fabric to open a small store.
2. I stopped biting may nails after a lifetime (I had bitten from childhood) of self disdain expressed through the destruction of my hands. I no longer take my anger out on my self,nor no I disdain myself. I like who I am now and who I have been.
3. I would rather eat my mashed potato with made with soy milk with gravy than any desert.
4. Sitting here today with my left over gravy on our plates is worth the long hour of everyone asking me why its taking me so long to make my reduction of gravy.
5. I love to be embraced by my husband. When I am cooking for him he holds me from behind and I just melt into his heart.
6. I have more ear rings than a whole dorm of college girls. I have made most of them but the collection of them grew over our many years marriage.
7. Every time I stopped biting my nails I gave myself a costume ring to remind myself that I love having pretty hands. I have several (it took me a long time to stop taking my feeling out on my hands)
8. When I was awaiting adoption of my daughter, I had been very involved in a prayer ministry in a large church. I was the youngest woman and almost all of the other ladies were senors. They helped me achieve three very large boxes of humanitarian aide to take to the orphanage. Then when I returned they took up contributions and hired a sitter so that I could continue to come to our prayer meeting. When I moved there were maybe 20 of us. I visited them a few years ago and there were maybe 75 for the young women could come due to child care being available. I loved seeing that.
9. I have lived so much that I find it hard to remember many of the events of my life. I have a significant memory loss problem that gives me grief. It will take great courage to enter into a womens ministry again. I can keep hold on the blog because I see your names and can find a reference and see the history on your blogs of our interactions. It saves face :) Out there in the world at large it is just too humbling and embarrassing and painful when someone is hurt when they take it personally. I am so real that it is painful to me to pretend like I know who they are and if I forget commitments it breaks my heart and offends. That is why I have spent a couple years away from womens ministry. I think however it is time to stop hiding out.
10. I have been praying for a vision of seeing myself and a Grandmother. I do not want to be incoherent and burden my family in that way. I have a battle with fear of dementia. I am praying for a sound mind and a long life. I am making efforts (except the gravy and taters) to sustain my health.:) and improve it!
11. I thrive on collecting fabric and notions, Beads and findings too. I am like a little kid in an old general store staring at the jars of candy. How every one looks so amazing you want to just run you fingers in and just absorb the colors and texture. Did I say I love COLOR! Oh texture and value, depth of tones and contrasts. Making complimentary and triads too. Oh Oh so much fun. I love my color wheel too.
12. I am a stickler to have the best tools that I can afford, never spend good money on lousy tools it is better to save up for it and buy it once. I was married 16 years before I had a microwave because I wanted to save for the one I wanted. Same with my kitchen aid appliances. I Happily use my 40 year old oven until it had to be replaced then I got the one I really wanted. We put new gaskets in the old house oven and everything before we had used it gone. I really hate owing any man except to love him.Our home is our only debt. It is killing me to not be able to pay off extra on the principle. This has been the first time in our 25+ years that we are not able to do so.
13. My husband is developing a web page for me in the evenings after he finishes story time. It is slow going. He is doing such a nice job. I now have a domain name. I will do the work of creating and crafting, packaging and mailing as long as he does the work on the computer. I am hoping to find favor in the market. I don't want my personal blog to ever come off as if my hands are in my readers pockets. This is my personal space of trust and relationships.

All things are Possible...to those who...

10 P. M., Day is done! My last guest left about an hour ago...Dash is out like a light, Beauty is just of t of the shower, story time is over.
A cup of peppermint tea in one hand Ice on my knee and my back I rest.

The Birthday/ Thanksgiving Celibration went off well.

This is the pre-meal buffet. I place the serving dishes out with labels of what goes in them the mashed russets and stuffing baked while the Turkey rested and was sliced. We did not get any photos of the turkey (it was a 24 pound bird) I baked it in a cooking bag in just under 4hours. I also baked a few potatoes for a guest who was allergic to soy milk. I put it in the mashed potatoes. The yams were baked in the microwave then finished in the oven once the turkey was out. I also place all serving spoons out per dish. By using a box and an inverted pan under the runners elevation added interest. The flowers are from the .15 cent stems I picked up last week. By slipping in leaves and flowers around your runners you can add depth to the display.

Beauty and I made butter slivers/curls with a cheese cutter. By setting out all you'll need, delegation of tasks is made easy, and your not digging in drawers with a full kitchen.

I did not have the Sterno burners I needed so I boiled water in the micro wave to keep the pans warm once they came out of the oven

I cooked the gravy for almost an hour and made a gallon of it. With the veggies on the stove. I use care to make corn (traditional ) and a green veggie for those who do not like corn. I am a purest so I keep it simple no heavy sauces in the beans. Being allergic to cow mile my son and I were able to eat anything we wanted except two deserts that were brought. In the oven were the baked potatoes the two mettle flats of stuffing and mashed potato and in a paper bag with a wet paper towel the rolls.

Last night at midnight I thought I should try to move the table over to the other and make on very long one. I am disappointed that I did not. It was strange us three elders sat on the other table. I got my numbers off and so it was strange. That is what I get for setting the tables at midnight. However I know there were many unseen guest :)

I had the parents serve the children first. When we all were seated DASH, then another young boy and then a third offered the grace and prayer. Hearing three boys under 7 years of age bless our meal was astounding "Daddy Man" was speechless! her said' I think that covers it, thank you boys...Lets eat!" that was so COOL!
After the kid ate we excused them to go play.

We all had our meals and seconds and gradually moved the sitting circle into the kitchen/sewing studio.


One couple left for a photography appointment and then much later returned, another was able to come very late in the afternoon tho join in (they had been out of town and made great efforts to attend)

A nephew had a birthday, He and his son blew out the candles.

I am and Elder now. This generation does not have the same ideas of Elders and it shows. My Sister does not like to think of herself as an Elder. My husband honors me, showing me such great respect and we are one as a team. Washing the dishes as we went throughout the day his hands and heart were never idle. He set the young men up on computers to play interactive games, the men were in paradise. The children played all day 11-8:30!

I pulled them in around 7:30 and called them to circle had a story time. I wonderful book I had read earlier to Dash. His library book the spider and the fly. It was a cautionary tail of not listening to evil counsel. It was marvelous! I had them do the HEAR NO EVIL-SPEAK NO EVIL- AN SEE NO EVIL, covering the ears,mouth and eyes. OH it was so fun!
Then I had Daddy Man put on a DVD and we pulled the couch over for them to calm down and have some smarties (a candy). Then they had carrots (they were watching BUGS BUNNY)

Uncle, niece and grand nephew too cute!
10:45 Good night.
Thank you for your prayers
Donetta

Thank You for your support

Denise sent me a great devotion for today and everyday.

That was the first time I realized each person creates the inner peace or discord that flows out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, doubt, or anger. We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.

WHAT EVER YOU FOCUS ON EXPANDS!
Thank you Denise!

How do you say sit down for 24 people...

Hubby was corrected thrice... Speak only positive to me for I am real tired! (he was real tired too and waxed a little pessimistic)...This can be done...God will make it work! It is 11:45 pm I am signing off.
The turkey is oven bagged , cornbread stuffing made (same amount), potatoes mashed (YUM!).

These were made with 10 pounds of russets, organic chicken broth, real butter,sea salt and soy milk.
I still have a little decorating to do. Picking up a bit around the house.
Beauty and I had a great time cooking together. She is so ... growing up. :)
Dash helped his daddy with the floors and the tables for me.

An unexpected Break!

Wow, I was supposed to have a very full schedule today. Dropping off the kids at school, going straight to my PT , leaving pt and getting Dash, driving the hour or so to St. Joe's for a 12:30 audio. apt then waiting for a 3 o'clock apt. getting me back to pick up Beauty at a friends at 4:30-5pm and then getting home to do chores and tasks like cleaning the bathroom and the Dung duty YUK! I got a call earlier after I had canceled my PT, I was setting to task in 3 hours a days work and a half. The Speech therapist called to say that she could take us at 1pm so we would not have to wait. Then I after my sharing what a blessing that was to hear (because of the party tomorrow) she offered to reschedule. (it can take a month to get in). Then she said "let me call you back" she did we got disconnected... then it rang again she said in that interim she was able to reschedule her and the audiologist both for a 2:30/3pm next Friday! I got the whole day free! I need to pace today my head is really hurting me.

She called me!
Gods provision.

I need to rest and pace the work I have to get done.

My Sister just called and can come early enough with my nephew to help me out tomorrow. We will prepare some of the meal together. That will really help.

So I took some leisure and did some floral arranging. I was able to make this for under a $1. I had the basket. Wal-Mart was closing out the fall stuff for .15 cent a stem! I cut the stems apart into single flowers/leaves.
I had fun and it was relaxing.

It motivated me into the bathroom to clean the counter and sink and mirrors.

Beauty's Play and Dash's class

Last night at 6:30


Beauty is in the pink She was Grandma grunt.
She was so cute! She nailed her lines, and even though she was very nervous she over came it.
He Character encouraged the grandson to find a more acceptable pet "a little cockroach would be a good choice"...The teacher incorporated many elements. The children wrote a letter home as an invitation. She really did a great job. Her delightful innocence is so wonderful to witness. We are going to the rock and mineral museum next week as well. Best elementary is our district!

Then at 7pm the tour of Dash's class room...
This is Dash's "Thankful turkey"
We almost cried when we read it. "I am thankful for my freedom so I can get an education", I am thankful for the food I have cause in Russia I did not have good food"...

His sister was in the shadow lurking for the spot light and he is very frustrated, and tired We had been at the school all day!
After the class tour we had to wait in line for the sixth graders wax museum. It was fantastic. Each kid chose a character then dressed up, and pretended to be them Presented and oral history of them selves as the character and then had an intermittent musical of a ?chief Joeseph "grow my son get an education"

What was your first “real” job?

I was employed at the age of 9 at my parents gas station. Then I worked for them until I was 17.
In answer to Kalani's question:It was a self service station. I did at times help at the pump for the elderly, I helped stocked shelves mopped floors,stocked the cold cases with soda and the inventory of the shelf goods. (counting and sorting to make the purchase lists. I would cashier some and clear the pumps(press the button when people paid). I would help fill the windshield washer buckets on the poles. coil the air hoses (that was hard!) Roll coins, Help band the money when Mom closed out the register. Help clean the bathrooms (yuk) by boy and Man SIT at home! I cleaned the window glass, gave directions, I loved giving the suckers to the children. I dealt with sales people and peddlers. I heated things in a microwave for customers.

This was after school in the evenings and on weekends. If I was sick and could not attend school. Until I was old enough to stay home sick by myself.

The work became progressively more involved as I aged but 9 was not leisure for me. When I got older I took the role of homemaker as my parents worked as a team with only 1 or2 employees ever other than the family. One of use was always working. At the first station the car wash out back was my step dads duty Hard long hours! I had no childhood only a few short weeks sometimes. I was a work hours rode to the ground as were my siblings. When I was the last kid, so the tasks became light for one summer during high school. Mom tried to rescue me from my step dads violent anger. He had siphalus (sp?) untreated for decades and so he was not a sane man. She moved me into the garage and halfway closed it in. I was moved out to it to keep him away from me. They were done being parents, before I was ever done with what most have as a childhood.

My Mom was at her beat at work she was such a people person. Full of gregarious humor. Everyone loved her. It was nice to see her happy. She was always worn out, wow I guess I am sorta like her in that. That was a nice thought.

Now you know where this hamster got her work ethic. Even my hardest days don't compare with those years.
When I left home I worked as a maid for Elderly flood victims scrubbing horrible bathrooms and cleaning kitchens and tidying up for them.

After that I worked in the kitchens of "Henny Penny Fried Chicken" I still dont eat fried chicken!

Soup
Where would you go if you wanted to spark your creativity?

Nature. Most likely the Forrest.

Salad
Complete this sentence: I am embarrassed when…

I have memory issues under the stress of PTSD. Sometimes I don't know someone I should and cant place them, I forget events times and places. I have some brain injury that hinders me with memory under stress. This blog has helped me so much with this. I have a better concentration level now. It is the greatest perk!

Main Course
What values did your parents instill in you?

I am extremely patriotic. Yesterday at the school I paused to the flag when they did the pledge none of the other women even noticed the pledge was being given.
Respecting Elders (when they deserve it) and the knowledge they have this lesson was taught me in the opposing. I learned a lot from what they did wrong. That salvation can come at last breadth, this was the case for my Mother. I learned to NEVER assume someone knows you love them. There are many different was to live out love for others. You sometimes won't really understand another's wound until they are far from you.

Dessert
Name 3 fads from your teenage years.

White boots. the zip up kind. Big belled bottom , "hip huggers" jeans worn low to the hip with long dangling belts made of leather cording macraméd (knotted in pattern).

Oh what a day!

10 p.m. I just finished the Birthday cake for Saturday!

I have so many tasks yet to do. To cook the meal as well. I am one tired woman.
I had fun doing the cake but it is not my best work, being a little brain dead I centered the word birthday but did not have the cake centered so I just wrote "joy" under it and his name. I sure hope no one is critical of it tomorrow.

Thankful Thursday

It is 1 pm
"It's, Just Me" :D Ha ha!

I am home from round one, Dash's M.E.T. for the I.E.P. for school intervention.
This is the meeting where everyone comes to give the suggestions from all the players. There was the Psychologist, the Teacher(who is awesome!), the Audiologists, Her tech, the Learning disability teacher, her higher up, the speech therapist (who came quite late), and "Just Me" (of course I brought my inviable yet palpably present onterage(sp?) of angels , Pappa God and all the covering of prayer)
Absent was the Occupational therapy department head and or therapist.! Who has yet to even see me kids! (we started this in March of 07)
So all in all it went well.

#1 Consult from the audiologist department once a month by phone with teacher...Teacher felt this was good. Microphone and amplifiers in place. Dash has a problem understanding other children in observation during class. Noise to ? ratio is a problem.This team is great. The woman was very quiet then at the end of all of it (or so I thought) she spoke up. She expressed the Ushers syndrome issue to the others and the Learning Disabled team. They helped me understand that a vision team would also come on board if warranted.


#2 Speech therapy was warranted! Big victory here! Only 20 minutes 2x week with a group of three kids! Well? Better than nothing but questionable. I will still need to go to St Joe's once a month to keep follow up, she did say she would be willing to make contact with the therapist.

#3 Dash will not need to have Learning disability intervention. NO quit the contrary! He is off the scale!

#4 O.T. for fine motor still needs to be assessed!

I thanked them for helping me with my Son and helping all the other children as well. I thought that I would be sorta dismissed I think. Well I spoke after with the H.I. tech. she said that it is so refreshing to have a parent who really cares about the kid. I forget I think that what I am doing here with my children is exceptional. I am thankful for the respect I am shown in all of this. I am thankful to be and American that we can get all this help for the kids. I am so glad to get help I got very tired doing it all on my own. I am thankful I let go of home schooling even as hard as it was for me to do .

I have Beauty's appointment at 3p.m. just after a very long day of school for them . Pray they can hang in there while I meet with the players. It may include some I have not met yet.
I will see the Learning disabled ladies again they will be the players I will work with with Beauty. So I have so much information to process.

My P.T. went well on my knee and back. I will only have tomorrow and Tuesday of next week then continue the week after the holiday. He thinks that I will have more than enough just to do the next week of days. So that will give me back 6 hours next week.

Groceries for the extra turkey for Thanksgiving day went well I got 47% off! my bill. I am just finished here so I will set to tasks. It is tempting to nap a little.

It is raining here today off and on. It is so lovely!

Hubby Beauty has her play at 6:30 tonight!
Thank you for your "Just me comment" Beloved.

Please for for me and my children....

Today I have a 7:45 meeting for Dash's M.E.T. to establish his I.E.P. these things are what determine his assistance, I have Beauty's T 3p,m,
Then its rush off to P.T. for me and then I have to stop by the grocery , Scrub a tub. Bake a cake, make frosting. Clean up dog dung and then pass out of exhaustion hahah.
I just woke up from a very intense dream where I was fighting for a child's well being! Wow cranky start. Hubby helped me work through it . I am a bit overwhelmed over the meeting today. I will be defending these two kids and hope that I can plead their case and defend the needs that they have. I feel so ill prepared! scream of rather agitated anticipation, Centering to focus and gain my peace. I do not want to be defensive.
oiy
~ your prayers are invaluable to the children and I both. I need wisdom!
I thought I would not sign the papers there but bring it all home. There are so many employees of the school and then just me. Budget cuts and such.
Yet I have watched God give us favor time and time again.

I can do this!

My exercises have increased in weights and repetitions. I was not able to take as good of care of myself this week. I extended myself a bit far. That I think is one of my worse problems. Neglecting myself when I get busy and tired. I had a little to much at servings too. I did not take the time to make things just for me. I was careful however to avoid the things not on my plan. Except I did eat a bunch of candy this week.
189 still smiled at me. I thought it might be more.
