Busy day yet again…I didn’t get up super early but early enough, that I am tired tonight…My daughter started the day with apple cinnamon muffins she baked for breakfast…Yummy, Yum, Yum…We do a lot of cooking around here…
My youngest had a meeting today with the school psychologist ..More testing for my baby but we are hoping and prayer we may get some answers on his condition and how we can help him become more productive and happy…I was able to drop him off at the school and run home to work on some paperwork…Not even 2 minutes has passed and I got a phone call from the psychologist…She said, she begin to pull out blocks to begin a test for my son and my son quickly responded, “I already did this”…She asked me where and when…I had to explain her the testing that is being done at his therapy facility too…She told me she would skip that test for the time until we hear back about the testing that already has been done…She said she didn’t want to repeat any of the same tests…Understandable for me…I got a kick out of it though…My son did have the strength and energy to speak up…This is something that we have been fighting for…That he speak when he needs too…Hooray for him…Another goal accomplished in his young life…Thank You God for that answer to my prayers…
Well, when I drove up to the school to pick up my youngest after his testing, I got a phone call from the facility’s psychologist…I explained the situation to her and she told me the name of the test…Still need to reschedule another day of testing with her and the school’s psychologist ..If I did not have my faith in God, I would say this was another coincidence but I know God is moving in our lives even if I am being bombarded with appointments right now…This is exactly what we have been praying for lately…To get my son tested and see what else we can do as parents to help him achieve his greatest…Thank You God for working in our family and on my son’s behalf…
Kids’ playroom finally painted…Got the room cleaned up and vacuumed…Throw out all the trash and posted some unplayed toys on Craigslist…Kids are hoping to make a few extra bucks…Immediately after cleaning…The two boys were upstairs jumping around and wrestling…They love to have so much room to be kids and have fun…Still a few odds and ends to finish up but it is workable and not too much to concern with my immediate attention…
Dinner tonight was “Delicious”…New Recipe from a new Book…Lasagna Rolls…Instead of layers, Just roll the noodles up with the filling inside and bake…Side Salad and Garlic Buttered Bread sticks ..Everyone cleaned their plates…
Today is my daughter’s hamster’s 2nd Birthday…So we had a party…The hamster even had a cupcake with the number 2…Will post pictures tomorrow…This is the
tiny joys of being a parent…We all sang Happy Birthday and them hamster got presents and cards…Pets around this house are seriously a big part of the family…Thank You God for my children still having sweet and innocent spirits…
My rant for the evening…I don’t usually do this but many times, I do not share the many fights and arguments that go on in our home…Not for any particular reason but when I finally sit down to write at the end of the day, my anger, frustrations and disappointments seems to go away…My peace is still found through my writing…My boys decided it was a day to get on each-others last nerve…They fought and argued about whose was what toy while cleaning…They even argued about whose shirt was whose when it came time to cleaning up laundry…My youngest had a melt down…He ended up throwing things, kicking things and saying very mean and hurtful things to me…I wanted to scream and just give up…Instead, I held him close and had the other family members leave the room…I just tried to hold him while he struggled to fight and get away…Eventually, he calmed down and was able to continue cleaning…He was grounded for the rest of the day from electronics but it has been a while since we have seen a melt down to this degree…
I received some news this evening that got me thinking about my current situation…I am almost on the verge of tears…No one is hurt or dying…Nothing to that degree…I am just at another all time high of being sick and tired of being broke and not having so many things I want to have in life…Not diamonds, gold and silver…Just to not be in the position we are in…I know a lot of the choices I have made in my past have led me to this financial hardship but I keep trying to get out of this financial hole and I never seem to crawl completely out of it…I feel like I have worked so hard for the past 12 years to get a better life for our family and I am still in the same position financially that I was 12 years ago…I don’t want to have to continue to decide between food and electricity all the time…It simply sucks…There really isn’t any other words to describe it…
I know I am blessed beyond measure and I have so much to be thankful and grateful for but I am human and still have these deep desires to be better off financially then I am now…Thank You God for a warm and safe house…Thank You God for food to fill our bellies…Thank You God for my children and the joy they continue to bring into my life…Thank You for my hubby sticking around even when things get ruff…Thank You God for the continued support and love of all the family that surrounds us…
On a happy note…Happy Anniversary to my mom and dad…36 years and many more to go…
Beautiful Savior above all things…God your plan is the only real and true way to live…
Psalm 119:58 NIV says, I have sought your face with all my heart, be gracious to me according to your promise.
