M’s pdoc just called… She’s full of ideas for helping him to be more stable AND not be buried under side effects. I think she’s wonderful, and I’m glad that she wants so much for M to be better. But I’m also so frustrated trying to communicate with her… Sometimes I think we aren’t speaking […]

Be patient with me…these will be the last snow pics for awhile. I promise.
It’s just too pretty outside not to share! I love the way the wind sculpted the snow, leaving bare patches mixed in with almost gravity defying waves of snow.
We are still snowed in, dh only got enough of the driveway plowed […]

We’re snowed in today… It started snowing during the night, and it’s been snowing hard since then. The wind is blowing the snow sideways, and the drifts are up to my knees. I don’t mind being snowed in, although I think more than a day or two at a time would set me over the […]

I’ve been tagged by my good friend Feistymom, since I’m never one to turn down a tag (well almost never) here goes…

I’m gathering materials for our unit study on the Civil War. I’ve decided I want to “build” it around one really good living book that is set in the civil war era. Does anyone have one (at about a third-fifth grade level) that they would recommend?

The house is quiet right now… M’s asleep and R’s playing outside… so I thought I’d try to steal enough time to write.
Nothing exciting is going on here, but that in itself is a blessing! M has settled down again and most days things are pretty manageable. The pdoc hasn’t mentioned ECT for a couple […]

This past couple of weeks has been a blur of running errands, trying to keep up with the kids, and fitting everything else (like dinner, laundry, school, etc.) in spare minutes here and there… In addition we celebrated two birthdays this past week. DD#3 turned 19, and R is turning 10 today!
Unfortunately, M has continued […]

I got up yesterday morning and decided that we needed a change of scene. In the old days when would I get that feeling, I’d pack the kids in the car, grab the credit card, and take a “field trip”. We used to take the most awesome field trips… Mesa Verde, Four Corners, the Great […]

Over the past few days M has gotten much worse. He is fairly calm and connected at times, but at other times he very volatile and difficult to manage. The pdoc has suggested ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) again, and I am considering it this time.
Please keep M in your prayers…

I haven’t been blogging much lately… I’ve been busy with other writing kinds of projects, and have had little time left to write just for fun!
Now that the painters are finished with the house, the last of the exterior work on the house is done. (except for a little painting that I need to do) […]
