No visitors. Yikes this can be the hardest thing for some people. Take hope though, you are so not alone in the icu. There are people up the ying yang taking your vitals, giving you meds, checking on you, and getting xrays. From beginning to end there are people all over.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2. You must be your own advocate! While the staff may be wonderful, no one cares about you like you! From ordering your meals to talking about how you feel to your pain level, you must communicate that with your nurse. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Bring something you enjoy if you don’t like to watch TV, like audio books. A book might be hard to hold after surgery. I did bring an adult coloring book and pens for after icu.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Bring the toiletries you like. The stuff they give you in the hospital is not the greatest. Don’t forget your deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and face wash, moisturizer, and a good hand cream, you dry if you are stuck in the bed. A table mirror would have been nice if you can’t get to the bathroom as often as you would like.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Think about what you would take if you are traveling. Think light, and small sizes. Don’t forget your glasses and a case.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. A comfy outfit to wear to and from hospital, and enough undies for your stay. Things that are easy to get on an off. Moving, bending, and stretching are an issue so go slow.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Make sure you give all your friends phone numbers to the family member that will update everyone on your progress.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">7. Pay all your bills before you go in if that is possible, or give all info like passwords and account numbers needed so someone else can get them paid.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">8. You will have holes all over your body, don’t be shocked. I was. The chest tubes alone were shocking. They are to drain all the fluid they pumped you with. I had 15 extra pounds of fluid. My legs looked like elephant legs. Central lines, iv tubes, a pacer thing with wires going directly into your chest to monitor your vitals, and a catheter tube. At least that came out the next day. Oh let me not forget the intubation tube. That’s is own kind of torture when you wake up with it down your throat after surgery. I had glue so I can’t speak about stitches or staples, make sure you ask your surgeon.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">9. Meds, there will be several depending on how you are doing and your vitals. Go with the flow if you need pain meds. You just had a major life altering medical surgery. You have the right to know what they are giving you and what it is for. Don’t be afraid to ask. I found most all the nurses didn’t mind repeating or explaining.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">10. You HAVE to move! PT is a thing. Walking and getting up will help you. You didn’t have this surgery to fall apart. Don’t be a victim. When you are able, get up and follow the suggested exercises then cardiac rehab. Eat better. You only have one life to live and this one is yours.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />God bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you. I pray your surgery is guided by God’s hand and your recovery is fast and smooth. In Jesus name.</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgRCsOr9PpPD7S_kDz5D-bS787Py0GK3cMreTT_KfG45LMF1wwoebMJ-pDkBvxF2vNE1YPmka_DxOzPe9QQLhT_RtQMykq2WDmHlgSdd3iz8hM0f52c_GzjK_iAAWrexlKQFPxj-tq0dE/s2048/2020-07-29+09.28.40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgRCsOr9PpPD7S_kDz5D-bS787Py0GK3cMreTT_KfG45LMF1wwoebMJ-pDkBvxF2vNE1YPmka_DxOzPe9QQLhT_RtQMykq2WDmHlgSdd3iz8hM0f52c_GzjK_iAAWrexlKQFPxj-tq0dE/s320/2020-07-29+09.28.40.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihvMGxKgPA1yfWqF2XHOsvaxFOVdORcpBdwcxEh5lJq7xjGyC6iGGnd0L3ZTyGY2kpn00meLJ7rWPsHl_tTvIPvvR45SXYL3mMh1azQ83kaYAzVDIA9_37mCvvJ-WSf_Tb5eNjKsdshqQ/s2048/2020-07-29+17.24.42.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1539" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihvMGxKgPA1yfWqF2XHOsvaxFOVdORcpBdwcxEh5lJq7xjGyC6iGGnd0L3ZTyGY2kpn00meLJ7rWPsHl_tTvIPvvR45SXYL3mMh1azQ83kaYAzVDIA9_37mCvvJ-WSf_Tb5eNjKsdshqQ/s320/2020-07-29+17.24.42.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbP6XKPwCnxQmIVvHRDwa8vbGr4wsomph-qz9sel6WWy-yw_FUFbHXqV3EQCR0PefE_D20U1wUsrXzMWVAA6xNKRYgKH2E7Ik94mNhceVD1djedHOB7Dv97vUhTxdyxg2DtVxQ2kct9vg/s2048/2020-08-01+03.30.57.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1539" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbP6XKPwCnxQmIVvHRDwa8vbGr4wsomph-qz9sel6WWy-yw_FUFbHXqV3EQCR0PefE_D20U1wUsrXzMWVAA6xNKRYgKH2E7Ik94mNhceVD1djedHOB7Dv97vUhTxdyxg2DtVxQ2kct9vg/s320/2020-08-01+03.30.57.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuR3x7sBlBE9oCjawhxKpAU_wPwzrgOULzEilLVKDAdyFh3zGdc8cEPyBjJZC4GWxlqCUqTJUV4b-eLGHTcECKzaHxY9qqZRHWUwSGZSClHHkVluFlqetj6CggCTJ903inGOAAc-o_-ws/s2048/2020-08-03+09.31.44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1539" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuR3x7sBlBE9oCjawhxKpAU_wPwzrgOULzEilLVKDAdyFh3zGdc8cEPyBjJZC4GWxlqCUqTJUV4b-eLGHTcECKzaHxY9qqZRHWUwSGZSClHHkVluFlqetj6CggCTJ903inGOAAc-o_-ws/s320/2020-08-03+09.31.44.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2TMVZQmmaZ85eCAgv_t2svlmhi37Qsg0LeB-wLYVRr2A-3vBajx1Jc5kY5WMUBa9vithFJ47tplJv9ArQA99zxjtAaWNpffJHKsCeirk60EWxn3FHZV2NU3ebBtqK2ilxKX0KNGaN10k/s2048/2020-08-11+12.06.58.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1539" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2TMVZQmmaZ85eCAgv_t2svlmhi37Qsg0LeB-wLYVRr2A-3vBajx1Jc5kY5WMUBa9vithFJ47tplJv9ArQA99zxjtAaWNpffJHKsCeirk60EWxn3FHZV2NU3ebBtqK2ilxKX0KNGaN10k/s320/2020-08-11+12.06.58.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p></div>thewifeypoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15859052701544307958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010883667716357213.post-20824520476688079992018-09-18T12:54:00.000-04:002018-09-18T12:58:13.636-04:00Prayers for the Battlefield Staying MomStrong in the Fight for Your Family and Faith by Heidi St John<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Prayers-Battlefield-Staying-MomStrong-Family/dp/149641277X/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&linkCode=li2&tag=thbumo0c-20&linkId=54689da0905760b50c8cbf76d53315eb&language=en_US" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=149641277X&Format=_SL160_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=thbumo0c-20&language=en_US" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thbumo0c-20&language=en_US&l=li2&o=1&a=149641277X" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">1 Relax and
believe you are doing the best for your children. If you have little ones start
by just reading aloud on the couch. Enjoy this time. <br />
Learn what philosophy of education you like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you are taking your children out of the system, deschool for a while.
Don’t worry about academics and just reconnect with your child. Ask them what
they want to learn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I call it Delight
Directed Learning, though I am sure I didn’t coin that term. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">2. Find a
local support group that isn’t just an online group. Get plugged in, that means
participate. You will make lifelong friends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">3. Think
outside of the “school” box. Don’t try to recreate a brick n mortar school at
home. Make your school cozy, a joy to learn in. Don’t be afraid of messes.
Clean up time instills good habits and discipline.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4. Find
someone you can connect with that is older been there done that. That has a
heart for homeschooling families. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likeminded in your philosophy of education,
religion, politics, just generally someone you can trust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know this can take time, and I am not
saying people who aren’t the same are bad or wrong, it just makes it easier for
you if you are not confident.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">5 Learn your
child’s learning style. Check out The Way they learn by Cynthia Tobias. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Everyone
learns differently even moms. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
<br />
6. My number one thing I tell every new homeschool parent. If you do nothing
but love your child, you are doing more than the public schools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No one will love them like you do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">7. If you
are a Christian parent, pray over your children and make reading the bible the
first part of your day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</iframe>thewifeypoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15859052701544307958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010883667716357213.post-52119842836057563862018-08-27T13:11:00.001-04:002018-08-27T14:32:41.747-04:00Becoming an Empty NesterI think it is beginning to feel like it is happening already and there not even out of the house. Go figure. I know I am being so emo right now. My lil guy is now 15 goes to karate 4 times a week and once a month on Sat. So I am still driving him around. He goes to Youth, and does a health class with some friends and if that isn't enough soon I will be teaching at our new local Co-op.<br />
<br />
When my oldest went to college then law school it felt like I was going to die inside from missing him so much. Even though I was busy homeschooling my youngest, being on two homeschool boards, and helping hubs in our family biz. He was an only child for 13 yrs before we were blessed with his brother. My heart is so wrapped up in him. Now with my youngest, he is busy with thoughts of becoming a Marine. So he watches lots of videos after school work and chores. He loves history so he watches that too. So even though we are busy doing stuff and getting out, my heart is still overwhelmed with empty nester thoughts. Believe me I am not trying to make trouble for myself, it is just part of life right now. Has anyone else ever felt like that?<br />
<br />
Bottom line I have to live intentionally right now and be thankful I have these two beautiful blessings with me. If my mom could hear me from heaven I hope she knows how sorry I am for leaving the state with her first grandson, and for not letting her babysit #2 (not because I didn't love or trust her, in case you are wondering). I just have been madly in love and passionate for my kids.<br />

Well Januaray has come and almost gone. I haven't updated this blog in so long. I feel like as we entered the higher grades of school my interests have changed as my son is older and doesn't want to be on social media I have more time for interests like fashion and design, bible journaling, wellness, and just dating hubs when he can.
I had a really busy 2017 traveling to Vegas, I got to see the Grand Canyon, NY twice, came back to greet Irma only to pick up and landed in Alabama to a primitive camp ground, then we went on a cruise, and lastly to Orlando for Ice at the Gaylord Palms. It was a pretty amazing year.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">This is a great product. It makes my skin feel soft and smooth! That surprised me, happily. It takes very little to cover the entire face and absorbs quickly. It does not feel greasy or leave a film on your skin. I was very skeptical about using Retinol. I am 51 and starting to get fine lines. I used it before bed and definitely felt a slight tightening sensation that made me feel good. It also felt moisturizing</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> at the same time.

Joe will be starting 8th grade in July and I don't really feel like I need to go to Orlando again. Maybe I will just get the recordings after this.<br />
<br />
I just got these Frixion pens from Pilot, they are erasable. They come out like a marker but they do not bleed. I think they are pretty cool. I am a little obsessed the paper & pen products.<br />
I also just got a new Filofax Original Personal planner. I am hoping this takes care of all the things I need to do in one book. <br />
The last year I have been toting around at least three books, one for our fam biz, one for my south home school group, one for my north home school group, and sometimes one for just for me to jot personal stuff in. My back has had enough!<br />

<i>Got books?</i></div>
<br />
Tonight I have the Birthday Club dinner, then Friday night is the last MNO for my north group. <br />
<br />
Next week doesn't slow down either with Dr's appointments, and our states Home School Convention (yay!).<br />
<br />
My south group is also busy and doesn't stop for the summer because we are a mom's support group as well as a home school support group.<br /><br />As with everything give praise, and do all things to the glory of God. I am so blessed and honored to have wonderful people in my life.<br />

Who is your Arron or Hur?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #010101; font-size: 15.2px; line-height: 24.32px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><span style="color: #010101; font-size: 15.2px; line-height: 24.32px;">Exodus 17:11 "So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed." Eventually, Moses became weary, and so Aaron and Hur responded by holding up his arms until the Israelites were able to finally defeat the Amalekites.</span> </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Do you have a group that supports you? A trusted friend to say you can do this? I encourage you to seek out Godly women, Titus 2 women that will hold you up in prayer, phone/text support, or just getting a quick cup of Joe to get you out. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you don't know anyone in real life that will encourage you, there are many home school sites with wonderful support. I just joined <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoolscopes/" target="_blank">Homeschoolscopes</a> on Facebook. What a fun place!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You get to see real women who love to share their hearts, ideas, blogs, and resources. </span><br />

I have grieved for a very long time, in my humble opinion. I never thought I would be that person that would get stuck, but there I was stuck in the sadness of losing my mom.<br />
<br />
Well God sustained me and I am on my way back to life. I ate myself to a gross version of myself I didn't even recognize. I have lost some of that and I will continue to work on my diet for health sake and my family.<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to a great summer. We have just finished another year of our co-op with our group <a href="http://ggmfl.com/">ggmfl.com</a> It was a great time with cooking, p.e., photography, foil lettering, civics, card making and more.<br />

We all know that life goes on, and it must no matter how hard the road, or how mushy you feel to be sinking in the sand. I have continued to home school my nephew & son through the last episodes of a series of sadness.<br />
<br />
This past school year brings bitter sweet memories. My oldest just graduated law school under the Lords direction. My nephew just graduated high school, and my youngest son is moving onto middle school.<br />

So off to my state wide convention for inspiration and encouragement I go.<br />
<br />
First things first work. The Leaders Forum. My first. It was wonderful to meet and hear from all the moms and dads that work tirelessly to serve in the home school community. To hear that the struggles I face are not unusual. There is a new generation of home schoolers and I have yet to see anything good. Maybe it is the area I live in or I am so ol' school in doing this thing for the Lord and not unto men. I certainly feel like an alien. Academics are important but it is not the defining end result I am seeking.<br />
<br />
I feel like with all the technology out there and ways to communicate, the younger generation just seems to want to be an island unto themselves. How can I help? How can we relate, and build relationships if we never meet? Yes I have plenty of online people that I share with, pray for, and the like, but what about our children? Will they still enjoy play dates? I know what you are thinking, plan it. I do. I do I do. We do. We just have so few who participate. As I found out, I am not alone.<br />
<br />
I am so grateful to the leaders that spoke up, shared, and made me feel welcomed.<br />
<br />
The exciting stuff for me was after the Leaders Forum, shopping before the crowds, then the PJ Party with Heidi St John aka The Busy Mom. Oh what fun, filled with yummy treats, laughter, and a good dose of reality. No one is perfect accept Jesus. This no mama drama made sure we heard that.<br />

I was beyond giddy. If you haven't read her books I encourage you to get them. You will be blessed and your marriage and children will be too.<br />

Bring me to tears was Cate Frates. A vintage treasure with her session, Take Heat and Be Encouraged! You are Uniquely Chosen and Qualified to Educate Your Children<br />
I was beyond blessed to hear all the things that was true for my first son is still relevant and I am not on the coo coo train because I want the Lord to lead my home and our schooling.<br />

Of course Hal & Melanie Young where fab too, though I didn't get a picture. All of this would have been for naught if my all time fav people were not part of this adventure.

I saw her rapid decline just from being dehydrated. I guess that being diabetic didn't help either.<br />
<br />
After visits with her Doc, I helped her start to eat better and make better choices. For a while she was doing better. Her Doc said her blood sugar has never been better. Great!<br />
<br />
So off my mom went, daring to scoot around town without thought. My mom loved to shop, and talk to people, anyone would suffice. Her shopping excursions came at a cost, her diet! She shopped, got tired, and didn't really keep up with eating enough, in my humble opinion. He thinking was not the same after being dehydrated and now was getting worse. Her decisions and thought process was clouded, fuzzy, and just not rational at times.<br />
<br />
I begged her to move in with us last May after being dehydrated and coming out of the rehab, but understandably she wanted to live in her own home. Is that my fault I didn't make her? I don't know. I feel like I should have taken more control, but I didn't because I think people deserve to have dignity when getting old. They lived for us, helped us and when they are old they just want to be left alone to do what they want. That is what my mom wanted. <br />
<br />
I started to mourn her then and there. Right or wrong, that is what was happening inside of me.<br />
<br />
Since my dad died our relationship got better. I had more empathy, I was more loving, I never rushed her while she shopped. Believe me if you knew my mom you knew I waited for hours. I am not the shopper she was. We could always tell how my mom was really doing whether she wanted to shop or not. That was the Litmus test.<br />
<br />
Later in the year she started to go to ladies prayer with me, and for a while she went to church with my friend, then came to my church which also made our relationship stronger, cause the Lord was in the middle of it. <br />
<br />
Sadly right before Thanksgiving she dropped scissors on the top of her foot. That may not have been so bad had she not been diabetic. Well it turned bad too fast.<br />
<br />
I told her to clean it something you would not thought needed to be told, but we all told her. What she really did no one knows. She told me she rinsed it. I told her she needed to clean it with soap and water or peroxide. She told me she did that the next day...<br />
<br />
Wed we took off to see Sean at law school. We stopped at Bushnell for her to see my dad's headstone. That is where I saw her boo boo. It was a speck, a dot, nothing anyone would ever think was bad. Who knew?<br />
We had a nice lunch with Sean. I will treasure that forever. My son always sang to his Grandmother and she ate it up!<br />

This love bond melted my heart.<br />
<br />
Back home we went about out stuff. My mom's foot started hurting her more and more. I told her to go to the Dr, she made two appointments then didn't to either. That is where it all turned bad. I hadn't been down there for 2 weeks, Joe was sick, whatever I was, my brother had been there so I never thought that speck could get so bad. I was wrong! When I went after church, I was thinking how could that be? <br />

The first picture, the first time in two weeks since going to Jacksonville. She made my brother put some cream on, I couldn't even was it off, her foot was so tender. I called her Dr office for something for pain. I still had no idea how bad it could or would get. They said to get her in there asap.<br />
I told her, it they want to put her in rehab again to get antibiotics in her she was going. So it took a day to get a bed, then off she went.<br />
<br />
You may not even believe how bad it got even with antibiotics.<br />

That was shocking! After a week in rehab, the sent her to the ER for tests. One of which she refused. More time, more Dr visits, more care needed. She came home with me and my life stopped. I learned wound care, I made sure she got all her meds, ate right, and tried to make her as comfy as possible.<br />
<br />
She was the center, while I still had to home school Joe, answer the phone for dear hubby, take care of our ol dog, and our house. Yes Christmas was upon us.<br />
<br />
Christmas Eve I thought my FIL looked so good and my mom looked so weak, My uncle her brother died the day after. <br />
My FIL died Jan 31st, our dog two days later, then March came.<br />
<br />
My mom was bad. She had been getting dizzy and sleeping lots, she didn't want to eat much and didn't want to take her meds any more. The wound need a surgical debridement.<br />

This is the next day when Home Care came. Looks good in a weird way. Not, the surgeon told me the infection was almost to the bone. Should he have taken her foot? Again I don't know. He Doc said she would not have survived it. Mom also didn't want to loose her foot.<br />
<br />
<br />
Still got worse from there. They found a mass on her lung. Hello, this was much on the plate.<br />
She spoke of dying more and more. Her blood sugar took a dive one day, I thought she had a stroke. I fed her watermelon for an hour till she was okay.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last pic of her. That rubber is a drain, the surgeon took out her tendon that had been exposed while I was doing all that wound care.<br />
<br />
When she could not make it to do further tests for lung because we could not regulate her sugar, and she was declining so fast her Doc called in Hospice at home, my heart sunk. What did this really mean? My mom would surely die sooner than later? How could all this happen this way?<br />
<br />
So with the help of Hospice 3 days I kept on the best I could. Have I mentioned I have had a bad back most of my adult life and when my son got a reclining couch we hauled it up to his 2nd floor apt? So yes, my body was broken!<br />
<br />
I got a hospital bed, that helped my back, I got a tray table for dinner, and a bed pan. We got new meds. I had to learn how to give her insulin. I will not go into the messy details of how bad it got on that last day at home, but I was so thankful our friends Dee & Sue had been over to visit with her and they helped me beyond words. It was not enough though. The night came, just me and Jesus. Her blood sugar was way high, I called the nurse and she called the Hospice facility after she saw the wreck I had been changing sheets and cleaning my mom all day & night. I could not do it another day. My limit had come. The nurse got here about 12:30 am and they took my mom at 3:30 after we cleaned her up and changed the bed for the last time. When I went to bed my husband had not even know all I had been though and had done. My heart was racing, I couldn't sleep I was so wound up. I just cried. That woke dear hubby, and he held me. I don't know when but I finally feel asleep.<br />
<br />
The next afternoon was the beginning of the end.<br />

Deana made it the next day with Angie (thankfully) Billy and his family and Ed were all there having good memories, and my mom said "don't ever stop these conversations." <br />
<br />
I was playing some worship music, but Sean the crooner said to put on a certain song and when I did she lit up.<br />
I wish I had a pic of Ed with Ma, but I will always have Angie saying when she saw them looking into each others eyes it chocked her up, cause she could see how much they loved each other. That was the truth! She was his mom for 25yrs, Ed's mom died when he was 24 ish.<br />

My moms childhood friend Elinor came to visit, as you can see it was a tear jerking time for me. It was a short visit, but I am thankful.<br />
<br />
My pastor and his wife came, my mother in law came. I let my cousins know, my last aunt, some of my moms friends. She was very loved.<br />

Children are a heritage from the Lord, no matter where your walk with Him is, while there is life there is hope.<br />
<br />
When everyone left it was me and Ma, then Mon our friend Julie, our pastors wife came and sang to my mom in the spirit, it was sweet and healing. My mother in law also came up. The most influential women in my life. I was honored.<br />
They left and I thought something changed in her breathing but my heart was pumped and racing so I went home for what seemed like only minutes when the best nurse called and told me it was time. Me and Eddie rushed to get there and I got to tell my mom all the things that you want to tell the most important person in your life for your whole life. I felt like my mouth kept going on and on. Ed thought she passed but I knew she hadn't. I told him to get Shirley and she confirmed she was still with me, I continued to pour out my love and thankfulness to her for everything but my last and what I am most thankful for is here giving me Jesus. Again, it is well with my soul. <br />
<br />
How many children get to usher their parents to heaven? God saw fit to allow me to be blessed to be with my parents as they took their last breaths on Earth, before their eternal lives begin.<br />
<br />
Thank you Father for my parents.<br />
Mommy, I know you will have the best Mother's Day with your King.<br />
<br />

I pray you are bold and have sweetness with your loved ones as you are lead by the Holy one to introduce them to the One who gave everything that they may live forever, and it would be well with your soul as it is mine, no matter how sad, joy comes.<br />

I have to say I have had a swell of emotions. Remembering my parents 20th Joining the ranks of other committed couples headed for a lifetime together. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Special events make you look back, take stock, wonder what the future holds. I was doing lots of thinking that night. We went on a dinner cruise. (It was on my bucket list). On board there was a wedding, an eighty ninth birthday, another anniversary couple and us quietly taking it all in with our 9yr old son. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The food was so so, the music not too loud, the gulf breeze beautiful and the fireworks fun. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Looking into the eyes of my husband and son priceless. How do you thank G*d for something beyond all hope, dreams being lived? It could only have been better if my son Sean was there. <br /><br />Marriage is work. We may be unequally yoked, but we have a good marriage because of what the Lord has done in it, through each of us. We each have different strengths and talents and I think for the most part we compliment on another. <br /><br />We have each others back, through it all, till the end of our days. ...If G*d is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31</span><br />

Thanks Mom & Dad I know it was hard and not perfect, but I am proud my parents were married till death.<br />
Thank you Lord for the gift of my husband Eddie. My love & respect for this man is deep & wide.<br />
<br />
I pray you all appreciate your spouses through the good bad & ugly times in life. I pray you seek the Lord in your marriage and keep the bond & vow with the Lord that you may bless your spouse.<br />
I pray for kindness and tender hearts for you all, In Yeshua /Jesus .thewifeypoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15859052701544307958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010883667716357213.post-64207673578626290482012-08-28T15:27:00.000-04:002012-08-29T13:53:59.845-04:00A New Year in Schooling Fourth grade. What an exciting time in life! Young enough to enjoy and old enough to try more things. Delayed learning can be hard when you are waiting for you little one to catch on, but oh the joy to see those sparks!<br />
<br />
This year, as always when I ask Joe what does he want to learn about, he rattled of WW1, WWll, weapons of this age, civil war, revolution war, and stars. This is not surprising as my boys are gun lovin, bad guy, alien, and zombie killing kind of boys and their father is always watching Morgan Freeman's Though the Worm Hole or other such space shows.<br />
<br />
So we started our adventure. We have already taken a field trip to the FL Holocaust Muse am, which I could not take pictures. However, after that sad place we went to a tea house which we had lots of laughs with our friends trying on different hats.<br />

<br />
We also started our co-op classes and we are doing a mini unit on animals which what young-ling doesn't love? Our friend has been kind enough to host it at her house where there are chickens, goats, horses, cats and dogs. A dream for my son.<br />

There's Winter! What a hot day, but it was good to have Grandma, Eddie & Sean with us. Time is fleeting. I missed my dad that day as he loved to do things like this with us.<br />
<br />
No back to school kick off would be complete without a trip to MOSI, our local science and industry museum.<br />

Joseph also started piano this year. All I can say it's about time the piano Ed got from Miss Cheryl is finally being used the right way.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lastly to this post all is not just fun and games, there are chores. If a man doesn't work he doesn't eat the bible says. Joe has taken on a few more this year and is becoming a helpful lil guy. I need all the help I can get!<br />
<br />
You may be thinking but come on where is the real school? This is life, it is learning as we go. It may not be what you think it should be or how you think it should get done, but every child is different and brings different challenges. Joe is no exception. He is full of questions and full of laughter.<br />
Here he is doing his math program, Teaching Textbooks. Mom loves this. He is for the first time motivated to take charge of his day. He reads his daily bible first, then gets right to his math.<br />

Next journey this year is for Sean. He is officially a 2L. That's a second year law student. It was heaven for me to have him home this summer, but as always way too short for the Mama. <br />
This is the morning he left before the tears came rolling. I am praying my daughter in love who ever she is can deal with me loving him so much and doesn't take him out of state! Not my will though Lord, whatever you choose.<br />

My time has come. My roll is changing. I don't have a need to be sexy, to be skinny, to be the girl looking to keep a guy. I am the wifeypoo who has been in love with the same guy going on 25yrs. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
All marriages go through ups and downs, mine has been no different. Except Jesus came and resides in my heart, my mind, and my marriage. You may say, how can that be if your dear hubby is not a believer? He lives in me. If I am living unto Him and not unto man, I am on the right side of life!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Living a selfish life does not make a good relationship saved or not. I tend to be selfish in my mind, but my husband is not. We have a good balance. We know our rolls. In faith I treat him as a godly man. Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
If you are married, and you are having a hard time, I hope to encourage you not to give up. You probably know God hates divorce, so why would you think about doing something the Heavenly Father grieves? </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I know I don't know your story, but there is NOTHING new under the sun, and there is NOTHING to hard for God to change, even an unwilling heart can be softened. Look up to the hills where your help comes from. He will meet you right where you are. Let Him comfort you through your trial.</span><br />

We are trying a new approach this year. Ditching the traditional textbooks, some of you may say finally!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the summer we "unschooled"</span>. If you don't know what that means, it is mostly child led learning. The concept of delight directed learning leans toward educating to a child's interest, whereas child led learning, the child is doing what they want and learning from life through playing games, exploring, other interests, tv, whatever means they choose. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As I prayed and watched my son over the summer, I felt like there was not enough biblical training in this method. Even though we read the bible, and have a chore list in place. <br />I felt in my spirit that even though I want my child to play freely, I cannot let my biblical duties and desires to train up a child to be left into my child's hands. This is my responsibility. Just like I will not turn my child over the the school system, I will not leave him alone. The bible says in Prov 29:15 </span><span class="versetext singleline" id="pr29-15" style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. </span><span class="versetext singleline" id="pr29-15" style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span class="versetext singleline" id="pr29-15" style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span class="versetext singleline" id="pr29-15" style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are many scriptures that speak of training children, so the idea of radical Unschooling is not for me. </span><span class="versetext singleline" id="pr29-15" style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="versetext singleline" id="pr29-15" style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Educating children is the parents choice, the parents responsibility to chose the how, the what, the where. I would hope you seek the Lord for what is best for your child and your family. God has given each child his own bent, prayerfully ask the Lord what is your child's bent and how to go about what works best in your situation.</span><span class="versetext singleline" id="pr29-15" style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="versetext singleline" id="pr29-15" style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With that in mind I was blessed by my local home school groups used sale and got Joe Teaching Textbooks Math. It is on the computer, and he loves it. We are also doing some notebooking with timelines on the subjects he chose for 4th grade. I will be at the library lots this year. </span><span class="versetext singleline" id="pr29-15" style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I feel like I don't have a marketable talent. In this season of my life, me & dh have always felt while there are children in the home mom takes care. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I really don't think a woman can be everything to everyone, and also get what she needs, if she is burning out at both ends. G*d made us the weaker vessel. We have to remember He is our provider. We have to trust He will give us what we need.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Are we wanting to get the "extras" to keep up with Jone's? Does the Father want us to go through a valley to refine our hearts, to learn how to trust Him and NOT self? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The P31 woman was NOT the provider, she was a helpmeet, she was smart, she did have slaves. My tools help, but I still have to push the vac, dust, do the windows, etc.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">They learned the skills of weaving and sewing because they needed clothes, she was talented enough and smart enough to sell also, while her home was cared for by slaves. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If she was not a woman of means, with slaves, she would just be working at home to get the job done, she would never be hired. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Her husband was known in the gates, I am sure his signet was upon her merchandise.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I don't think we can just say my husband is okay with working, if the Lord has convicted us in His word. If your husband said I hate the neighbor kill him for me, would we? No! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The Word says seek first the kingdom, we are the weaker vessel , we are to be chaste home keepers, mans curse is to toil. He made us different to complement each other, for two different roles.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Financial trials like all trials is to test us, for the perfecting of our faith. To really submit to His will when everyone else says something different is where we have our victories in the spirit.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Where are we going to stand? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I do believe we have different seasons in our lives where we are open to the Lord's teachings.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">He will deal with each of us how He chooses in His time. Once He gets a hold of your heart, you will be putty!</span></div>

There are deep valleys along the way. <br /> <br /> I try not to complain about my husband, especially to people I hardly know. <span class="text_exposed_show">Have
you ever met someone who does nothing but air there dirty laundry? I
was shocked to hear this from a "churched" lady. I took note, never to
do that. I went through stages of thinking, now I just accept her and
love her and pray for her. We all have issues. <br /> <br /> When we lived in a big house on the water, everyone's free vaca
spot. I tried to be a generous host, but there was one guy I was less
then thrilled with. He came often. He got on every last nerve. <br /> <br /> As
I was walking through to my bedroom, I heard G*d tell me to "honor
Eddie & his friend." I said out loud no. Foolish woman! He said it
two more times before I believed it was G*d. <br /> <br /> I had to repent for telling Him no, then I made up the bed nice and served him like a king. MY heart was forever changed.<br /> <br />
We can be crowns to our husbands if we lift them up when we are out with people.
That goes along way for a mans ego, just see how his heart towards you
turns. I lift my hubby up as much as I can to others, but I also tell
myself always. It keeps me appreciative of the man he is, not to take
for granted that I am a stay home wife n mom. Lots of people think
women should work outside the home and put us down like dirt. That has
never bothered me because I have learned this is the will of G*d, to be a
chaste homekeeper to love my husband and children, even homeschooling
and now I answer the phone for our family biz at home. I don't get paid.
Some women think that too, if you work for your fam biz you should get
paid. I am not one of them. I do this to be a helpmet to dh. <br /> <br />
In The Excellent Wife she says to ask our husbands what we could do to
help. Yes it will add to our load but He who is faithful will help. <br /> <br /> Husbands have lots of needs, I really want to be there for mine so he doesn't want to find someone else who will.<br /> <br />
I ask him lots of annoying questions. I am not a mind reader and yes
after almost 25 yrs, I still want to know what he wants, what he hopes
for, what he needs. Growing older is painful for us, our bodies have
been banged up. I untie his boots and take them off for him when he is
hurting. Some might think I am a doormat or crazy, I say, yes, I am
crazy about a man that works that hard for his family!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text"><span class="text_exposed_show"> So I say thank
you Lord, Eddie is known in the gates, he is a man of integrity &
honor! You are his shield and tower of strength. I bless your Holy
name, Eddie is a blessing to others. Thank you Lord with long life You
will satisfy Eddie and show him Your salvation.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text"><span class="text_exposed_show"> </span></span><span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text"><span class="text_exposed_show">I believe in Prophetic praise, I believe the word of the Lord is active and living. I believe His word will not return void, but it will accomplish what He sent it to do. <br /><br />I want to be the crown of my husband, I want to be like Ester who <i>believed well.</i></span></span><br />

Jenny home birthed all her children with her husband and I bore witness. Jenny also home schools, she is a stay home mom who works diligently buying and selling dresses to help provide for her family.

<span style="font-size: small;">Reflecting
on this woman, to me is daunting as I see the areas of my own lack.
Becoming like her is not my goal. My goal in this study to see how her
heart is right. I am never going to be a "Martha" type which the P31
woman looks like to me.<br /> I<span class="text_exposed_show"> am gleaning a
heart of wisdom, to become more like Jesus, to invest my time correcting
my heart and develop into His likeness, by incorporating some these
things I am learning into my life for His glory as I do it to Him, and
bless my family & others.<br /> <br /> Me and the boys are going down
for lunch with my mother, so I am praying I keep my big mouth in check
and be kind and understanding...still working on my meek & quiet
spirit : )</span></span></div>
