It’s supposed to be the beginning of a novel. I feel like I have so much time on my hands lately since I had to drop out of grad school this semester….thought I’d get a good start on it; but it’s not working out that way. I’ve had 27 pages done since the first week I started it….six weeks ago :s
LOL. Yeah. I think I’m going to write a book about my daughter and how she has taught me more about what it means to be a good mom than my own mother taught me. :)
I know what it is like to have a messed up family, but you know that. I just stayed home for Thanksgiving. Just me and my mom, Nicole, my sister, was gone with family.
Nothing real new here. My life’s been kind of in a “holding pattern” lately. My Grandmother is sick; was diagnosed with cancer just in September, but by the time she was diagnosed, it was pretty far along. The docs all say that it will be within a couple weeks….I’ve been driving to where she is pretty frequently to visit.
Glad she is doing ok. Hope the chemo works out for her.
When is your bday and what’s in Dallas?
Just a store bought pie…Marie Callendars razzelberry or something. But it was yummy fresh out of the oven with ice cream on top…and the best part: my kids don’t like this particular kind of pie :)
Yep. Me too. Kinda makes me wanna go back through my replies from the last couple days and see if there are any similarities….nah, too lazy :/
I’m sorry I’m taking a while to respond. I’m trying to write a book (!!) Not that I’m very far. I’ve been thinking of doing it for years, and just started it last night…it’s only 10 pages; and who knows if it will ever be finished…but for the time being, I’m consumed…lol :)
I know exactly what you mean. When he said especially me that really got me thinking, but the problem is that you are the only listed friend I have online right now. I am sorta at a loss.
I’m doing good :) I’m enjoying not being in school this semester and spending time being a mommy and community volunteer. It’s so relaxing! A big weight off my shoulders after a year of intensity. Not really looking forward to going back in Jan., but I know I have to: I only have three classes + comps left to get my master’s.
Naw, I am not even sure exactly what I am supposed to be mad at. I get where you are coming from though when you say that you were becoming less effective. Anyway, how are you?
Hi Cody. I was hoping that you weren’t mad at me for my last shout. I just realized that I was becoming consumed with what we were talking about and it was making me less effective in THIS life.
I guess what I should say is that if it happens by the end of 2009, I will be as prepared as I can be, without stressing too much over it. If that makes sense??
What do I think of things….? Like what we’d been talking about? If that’s the case, I think that there are too many ppl in this country who will stand up to being forced to take the H1N1 shot. And I also think that there are so many ppl who have already had the swine flu that they will decide that they don’t need the vaccination b/c they have already been “exposed.”
Other than that…the whole thought of end times was driving me crazy, and though I know that they are coming, I cannot dwell on it or I will be an ineffective mother/wife/student….etc. God tells us to live our lives as we normally would, and to just prepare our hearts. So if it does happen, I guess that I’ve been trying to get back to church (except for the sicknesses) and have been praying and feeling God’s presence more and more in my life. That, at this point, is the best that I can do. I don’t know how I can ever make the preparations and not go insane doing it. I will think about it; and have it on my mind when I make decisions in the future (what to purchase/how to spend time/money/resources/etc.
Nope. Never. He went to the school and told all the ladies in the office that if the kids had inherited his “superior genes,” they would not have gotten sick…he said it with a straight face and they did not know how to take that!!! LOL
You’re welcome for the prayers. I hope she gets better.
My 8 year old son has been sick since end of Aug…little fevers here and there…little breathing problems that he took nebulizer treatments for. Nothing real serious. He was still able to play and carry on as normal, for the most part.
Then, he got hospitalized and was in for 5 days. On the 3rd day, I got sick with a temp and they sent me out of the hosp. I layed in bed for 2 days, barely able to move. My husb would run back and forth between home (to take care of/feed our 4 year old, who would just sit by my bed and play quietly…thank God that’s all he did b/c I couldn’t get up to care for him); and then my husb would make sure that our 7 year old daughter ate/made it to and from school/etc. And then he would run back to the hosp.
On the day my son came home from the hosp., I went to the ER and got admitted for 3 days.
My daughter was also kind of sick; my 4 year old son got a temp…the doc prescribed an antiviral/antibiotic/steroids/neb treatments for them and they kicked it without having to go to the hosp.
I’ve been out for a week and a half, and yesterday is the first day that I was able to be up and about all day long. I thought I had depression or something, but a friend told me that it took her several weeks to get her energy back after having pneumonia, so that made me feel better.
