fever oh rats!

I am so fortunate the doctor faxed me in the Rx I need!

Without me having to go in!

Dragging the kids in was not my idea of "the best thing to do" :)
Now I have a fever.
Life :)

Thankful Thursday

My Realtor loaned me an extra nebulizer.
I have all the medications I need to nurse my children back to health.
We have several movies to choose from...
We live in a country where we have provision.
My heart overflows with compassion for those who do not have these things.
This focus is a gift to keep my eyes focused on the prayers for those who are suffering worse things than we are.
Knowing we are held in the palm of His hands.
For God so loved me that He gave His life for me a living sacrifice that is eternally flowing that amazing force of Love toward me. Because He lives I can face this day, tomorrow and the future with comfort in the midst of every storm.
The prayers of the righteous (those in right standing) avail much. That standing based on belief and trust obedience and unmerited favor.
I don't have to be perfect or behave just right to be in His gaze of Love.
Nor do you :)
I am grateful for your prayers.
Bronchitis is creeping upon me for My chest is now turning yellow...
I got a call in in hopes for the Doctor to call me in a Rx so I don't need to drag my kids in.

What a day!

Dove went to school with Dash on the bus this morning. She had her poetry recital, she did well....However....I had to take her home ill before noon.
Then around 2 p.m. the school nurse called...Dash had breathing problems. She gives him a breathing treatment as I go to get him. He is seen at the urgent care moments later to fine the x-ray revels pneumonia!
I got them both on 4 rx each ($$$), Becca has bronchitis too. Wow!
They are home now all the Rx's filled...
God is good!
Beloved and I had a major hardship of discouragement last night but better today. These difficulties are stabbing him in his heart. He feels responsible. The house sale is slow and tedious. I have failed at times at keeping clear of complaints. This is hard stuff!
I look so forward to the gain of all of this. The other side...meanwhile I trust. I pray, I parent and nurse the young ones.
I do so need your prayers.
Thank you for them it is a priceless treasure.

Wordless Wedensday

Playing Barbies with my big sister

Gifts of the day

I watched the sun rise this new dawn over the new life ahead of me.
Born in her 47th year
waxed a bit of John Denver...
Coming Home to a place she'd never been before.
Left yesterday behind her...
I watched the stars fade as I rocked my sweet Dove in the cool night air.
Thanking good for this child of my heart.
She was longed for for so many years.
It was a sweet way to start my birthday.
My sweet daughter and I got to be together today.
I took a nap early morning and was a woke by the door bell. A Package from my sister came , garden stakes sun catchers.
We watched movies and played Barbies. It was a peaceful day.
Mr U called about lunch and I opted to have him bring Chinese home for supper (instead of our date for lunch) so Dash Hawk would be included in our celebration. Beloved was very thoughtful to gift me with the option not to cook. I went to Wal-Mart and got three pair of paints and the findings I am beading with. It was a splurge that brought him joy too. He loves to see me get things that I want.We all ate and watched 3 Walton's episodes of the last season.
I got e-mails from so many of you.
Thank you :)
My sister Midge 18 yrs my senior called as did my sister 2 yrs older.
A very sweet e-card from the in-laws(loves) and Denise and Trisha and Michelle too...
Thank you all it was a warm embrace to treasure each one
Many comments and well wishes too.
You are all "the" gift.

Have a load of lemons to juice from a neighbor I just met.
I'll post a lemon aide how too...

The fruit is large and heavy great for juicing.

I made these sets yesterday for myself.

This one is bone.

This is rose quartz and jade. I have earrings set up to finish that match it.

I won a drawing and got a much needed apron from "Carolyn's Kitchen Retro Aprons".
All my other ones were packed up.
Dove took my picture insisting that I pose.
Story time is going on right now.
I think I'll close for now.
Thank you all for a loving Embrace of kindness and friendship.

Today I am 47

Today is my Birthday!

Dove is home still sick. I will fill the Rx for the steroids and begin to administer them. I may take her up to the pediatrician. We sat on the porch in the cool air in the night to stop the cough. She is 75 pounds of little girl. I rocked her and just watched the stars in appreciation and wonder. God is so good to me. I am very tired. Dash rode the bus this morning after some fuss of wanting to stay home too. He is so brave. I watched until he was on board.
Mr Uncommon is taking off lunch perhaps he was going to take me out to lunch. We may do a take out and he bring it home or maybe a rain check.
I made three sets Yesterday I have just a pair of earrings to finish of them. It was so nice to bead.

New Moon Monday

This is my weekend in capsuled :)
I held this sweet baby for two nights.
Good Morning!

Little Dove has been sick all weekend. We took her to urgent care yesterday. Such a small world her Doctor was from Russia and spoke Russian to her. She was triggered slightly it was interesting to see her face somewhere back in the hallows. She has been running a fever. I thought she was having croup but we think it is sinus from two weeks ago, virus. So with three prescription she will be on the mend.
Dash Hawk rode the bus this morning...so sweet I watched him board from across the street. He was very brave. Last night he came up to me so happy he said..."Mom, I think my life is going to go well everything is going to be just fine for me. I have been exercising and I am really strong and healthy....Life is good Mom"... It was so thrilling to see him so pleased with his life.

I went to Wall Mart to relax and get a few bead supplies. I just need to bead! I have all of my things packed away. I found my beading tools and a box of beads I had set aside. I went to the store to get a few findings.
I found some caprice that fit very good. It was so nice to discover that Jr. sizes fit much better than womens.

So today I am beading and watching my Little Dove. She had to be kept medicated and it will help I am sure.

This morning finds me ...
Thrilled to bead again! It has been three months.
I got this box out and found my tools.
Dove is having crackers and meat for breakfast.
She was so thoughtful, and got the lamp so I could see better.
I have an invitation to play Barbie's later. It sounds fun to be with my daughter in her world.
She is resting and her cough is getting better with the medication.

One giant step toward independence

This morning the children asked to make one giant step toward independence.
This being the third day of desire , but failed follow through I again told them ...
" when they are ready"...
They felt safe.
For those of you who know attachment disorders you will understand this
HUGE milestone.
I went in the house rejoicing and praising God for the healing in my children!
This morning they were ready and boarded the bus for the first time!
I went to the school after school to make sure they were able to get on the right bus.
Then I hurried home and got the camera.
Here is the bus coming around the corner.

This was such a big step for such a small pair of legs:)
Yesterday we followed the bus to the school but today...they got on right out in the driveway!
The way home was a new adventure.

The doors opened and two very self confident, happy children who gained two inches of self esteem climbed down those big steps.
Asking if Monday they can walk home alone. Sure I told them I said go ahead now and walk home I'll meet you there.

Oh the self satisfaction courage won and a good experience mastered!
Miss Paula (the driver) asked them if they liked their bus ride and they both said "yes we did" Miss Paula asked my name and gave me guidance.
The kids need to walk a 1/4 block to the corner on Monday Morning.

I lagged back and let them go to the house on their own.
How sweet!
Parenting success is...
when we see them gain that ability to be independent with confidence.

Good Morning!
In Arizona the time of use is changed today for your electric.

14 more days of school!
My children will soon be home with me again. I look so forward to having them home. With the implant surgery scheduled 2 days before school ends I am seriously considering rescheduling until august of this year after the summer is over. With the children home, summer fun for the family and the healing process I do not want to ruin the summer. I am going to wait until school resumes.
By then perhaps we might be moved into our next home.
Thoughts out loud:)
We took the kids to the local High School last night and pitched a few base balls (soft foam ones). I really had a lot of fun watching the silliness and being a part of it. We all had a really good time. Little Dove had some breathing problems, perhaps due to the wind. It was cool and just lovely.
Our showing of 5:30, the one I worked all yesterday for...Well He rescheduled for Saturday at 12:15. So the house is clean...That was nice to wake up to. :)
I need to walk today. Get out and move my body and give it some love.
The children are playing outside this morning in the cool of the day. Just outside my window. They are developing some sibling skills. I read about setting the stage to allow them to resolve their own conflicts. No name calling..No violence.. and just let them work it out. I'll give them cues if they need but I am going to step back from the side taking and solving of deli mas they need to develop those skills. So far much better:) I just have to develop the skill :)
