Steady as she goes.....

The progress on my dad's transplant is slow, but hopeful that it will be completely successful. He has extreme faith and his spirits are good. He has good days and bad days, as far as comfort is concerned. I try to check in daily, just for a few minutes or so by telephone to let him and my mom know that we are thinking about him and continue to pray for him. According to the health professionals, it can be another 2-3 weeks of hospitalization and monitoring, if all goes well he will return home to normal activities after that. This may allow them to go back to ND for a while before winter to take care of some things there and travel back to AZ for the winter months, or maybe even some light travelling. We shall see.

My kids are enjoying their summer days, but most of them within the last week have been rainy. This brings on boredom, more television (which is not helping anything), and just plain no activity. They need to be outside more. I will see if there are some inexpensive activities they can participate in at the rec center before the school year starts. Of course, as many of you know, I homeschool them, so it doesn't matter to them when the school year officially starts.

We will be ordering our FCAT tests for 2007 here shortly. This will provide the necessary info for the school district and general recordkeeping. They did pretty well this year. Dana still struggles to get all of her studies done. We added too many electives this year I think, plus she has her responsibilities with music at the church, teaching 1 piano student (now 2), and general helpful duties around the house. Maybe this year we will concentrate on the 'core' study areas and bypass some of the electives.

David just had surgery on the 16th. This was a partial adenoid removal, tubes in his ears, sinus culture procedures. He did well. We were all home safe by 3:30 p.m. the same day for rest. His speech tends to be more nasal than it was before, which is one of the reasons we wanted to do the procedure, to help his breathing and speech.....

Welcome....

Well, today is a new day. This is the day which the Lord hath made....I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Today I have almost completed my work day for my employer. I have a job where I can work for the employer AT HOME. I am tied to their phone system and computer system from my own phone and computer system. I will not disclose the employer, for my and my employer's privacy and protection. This allows me to be home with my kids, which I homeschool, and my husband who is currently remodeling our home and not working outside the home.

It seems to be just as difficult to wake up, even with the daylight savings time. Why is that? I thought that I would feel more refreshed but I think, as usual, we have abused the system and actually stay up later so there is no difference -- restfully speaking. Oh well, maybe next year.

I have participated in many blogs and have built many websites over the last 6 or 7 years. This just seems to be another extension of my creativity and branching out. I hope to be able to help someone along the way.

Please let me know if you find any part of my site a blessing. It would be an encouaragement to us both if you do.

Happy Friday

Another business week is coming to a close. My how time flies when you are having fun!

Today we went and purchased donuts for breakfast at a large donut chain (not naming names). We could not believe the line of people in the drive-thru and inside seating. It was ridiculous! What a profitable venture for someone.

Got back to the house just in time for the first call for work and eat a donut and begin the work day. I have a very unique situation, I can assist my kids with their home schooling needs while waiting between phone calls for my work. Praise God!
