Update on Grandma

Wow!! What a week!!!! We left for IN on Sunday, and got back Saturday nite!!! It was a good trip, under the circumstances that we went. We got to see Grandma, and she was doing good on Monday, but when we went to her house Thursday morning, she told us the pain has started. The doc's said that once the pain starts, it will go by very quickly. Grandma is very stubborn and told us that she took some Tylenol, she did NOT want to take what the doc prescribed for her, she was saving it. She was in good spirits and we had a great visit with her! Grandma got out some toys for the kids, and then gave Gavin a stuffed raccoon, and then gave Dakotah a doll. The kids LOVE them and won't let go of them either! It was so hard to believe that the doc's gave her 2 to 6 months! She looked GREAT on Monday, just a little tired, but she was walking around introducing us to everyone at the hospital that she volunteers at! Then on Thursday, she was somewhat confused about things, but the stress of everything going on can cause that. She was also in pain, and it was obvious, she tried to hide it. On Friday nite, she finally broke down and took the stuff that the doc gave her, she was up all nite with pain and could not sleep. Grandma and her girls (4 of them) are going to Chicago on a train trip Wednesday. I pray that she will not be in too much pain so she can enjoy the day! I am not as close to Curt's grandma as I was my own, but she has always made me feel apart of the family. She has accepted me. Why is it so hard? It is so weird and hard at times to think that in (maybe) less than 6 months, Grandma could die. I know that she will be going to a MUCH better place, and I am jealous that she will get to meet Jesus! She will be much better off there, no more pain.... But it will be painful for all of us. I want to be jealous and tell God to keep her here on earth, I want her around to see my kids grow up, that way they can grow up knowing her! But He has a plan, and we don't always know or understand that plan. That can be very hard! I am praying that whatever God's will is, we will be ok with it. ( Ok is such a weird word for that, but in my tired state of mind, that's what comes. ) Please pray for the family, that they too can pray that God's will be done, no matter what His will is.

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
