Day 2 of Chemo
Let’s just say it is 7 pm…and I am ready for bed. And probably will go to bed as soon as I am done writing. My mom is already asleep. Her test today went smoothly. They found a hiatus hernia, and ulcers in her esophogus, stomach, and duodendum. She will start being treated for those as well. I laughed in the pharmacy, because it seems we have our own pharmacy going on in our room. She has SOOOO many medicines to take. I need to buy a pill container to put them in. She is very naseated, very tired, weak, very sensitive to cold, her hands and feet are tingly. It has just been in general a LONG day. Tomorrow is a new day! The plan was to leave tomorrow, but since we got started late on the chemo, she will not end that till late tomorrow night. So they have changed my flight to leave on Sunday. Thank you for praying for us. I am praying for an easier night!
Alpha Omega
So we are homeschooling my oldest son for a variety of reasons. Soon I will post why we CHOOSE to home-school. We are using the Alpha Omega curriculum. I like it. I wanted to try ACE as well. Thinking about using it next year. So my question is what has worked for you? When do you home-school during the day? Do you keep a strict schedule? How do you do it? Do you use just one curriculum or several? Are you part of a home-school group? I know every family is different. And I am taking from others, what I feel will work for us. But would love some feedback. 
So any lurkers out there let me know what you think!

Happy Birthday Chandler!
It just seems like yesterday that Chandler was born. I went to the hospital to be induced and in 2 hours he was born. All 7 lbs 11 oz. He was such a good baby too.

In my FRIDGE!!!
Do you see what the picture is. It was hanging upside down in my tray, and then started moving. It is a NASTY SPIDER……IN MY FRIDGE! THAT IS SO GROSS! I promise I keep my fridge clean, I have no IDEA how it got in there. But after I saw that, I cleaned the [...]
Today…
Has been LONG. It is only 1 PM and I am exhausted. I have been very tired lately. I am SO sick of my cast. It itches. It is making my hip hurt from limping funny. I have had a headache. My house is a WRECK! My kids are not listening. They are like 5 [...]
Heidi’s Sweet and Sour Chicken
First start your rice….just make as much as your family wants.

Once you dice your chicken into cubes place in baggie, shake to coat each piece of chicken. Again dice up as much chicken as your [...]
WOWZERS!!!
Is the word of choice for me lately. It has been a whirlwind weekend. My head is still spinning a bit! I got up to MO about 1 AM on Friday night…or I guess that would be Saturday morning. Had a nice breakfast at the most AWESOME cinnamon roll place. OH.MY.GOSH. It was so good. [...]
the Starbucks lady
So I was at Starbucks with my kids getting hot chocolate the other day. Another lady was in there with her baby…probably just a few months old. She drinks some coffee, and then LEAVES the baby by a chair and then goes out to smoke a cigarette and starts talking to some guy. SHE never [...]
