Tackle it Tuesday

 

Wow a moment to say hi

Thats one of my tackles today.

Dove to get new bands on her braces in less than an hour. 

The school bus just pulled away.

Dove has had a huge amount of challenges of late.

No time for me due to it.

Adolecence has hid full on!

She wants the freedom of peers that amounts to in large part absent parenting.

She got on line at a Disney web site and got kicked off because she gave out her phone number and a pretty significant clue as to her last name.

I hit the roof!

I am not too much ameanable to my kids being on line at all.

Daddy man thinks differently.

So training has begun in earnest. Although it had been covered what we have to keep in mind is that Dove is not her chronological age. My point emphasized in this singular experience. Disney banned her from the site. Thank goodness for that filter.  I was so upset and prayed, the next morning Steve got an email to inform him she had done so. He really sees my point now. We can not assume anything now days! Dove sees it as a prison here. I have bad dreams and pray a lot.

Dash came in yesterday morning knowing I was upset over something he approched me. He said "mom I am here if you need to talk to someone", stunned at his sweet maturiy I explained that I was just frustrated because I did not feel as if anyone could see into me, or really see me.

He said "mom I see you".

Chokes me up just to think about it.

We recently went to see Avitor, so much the native American story in a nut shell.

So touched me in the things I try to teach the children.

That in itself a huge frustration to me in my life. 

Dove has appointments up coming for the ENT regarding the sleep issue. Dash and I are doing allergy injections 2 x a week, he get two shots and I one. Mine left me not feeling too well. My arm got pretty red at injection but he did fine. 

Steve is undergoing some neuro care for the shaking of the hands an issue generations old.

My 8th nerve study showed that I have a significant neuro issue to my ear on the left side, and the right ear has structural hearing loss. So I am a candidate for hearing aides bilateral if we can swing it.

This hearing loss is a real hassle because everyone forgets that I just can not hear them and they get annoyed to repeat. Don't need to be yelled at just need to see your face to know what your saying.

Kids are busy with school, the years fly by.

Dash is turining 9 this week and Dove has her 12th adoption day tomorrow.

We are looking into refinancing the house from a 22 year to a 15 year and a 7/8 point rate reduction and free closing costs. It would raise our payment $150 a month but get us out from under a mortgage 7 years sooner. It is a risk however to do so. Most folks are extending loans to reduce payments.

We were thrilled to learn that our credit score was not effected by getting rid of the credit card and closing the account. Living debt free can be penalized in that way and the fear of it keeps most folks with a credit line open. Not so at least not for us anyway.

My days are spent
