Well its friday the last day of fall break

This week the kids have been on fall break. It rained all but yesterday and today so it has been a LONG week. The girls have been fighting all week and I cant wait until Monday rolls around. I love my kids more than anything, but this week has been very long. H still is having some attitude issues and is mean alot of the time to L and I just don't know what to do. She is such a sweet little girl to everyone but L and I. Is she mad at us for something? The thing is I am trying so hard to be that "good" mom and I feel like I am failing miserably. I am praying for Gods wisdom and guidance to get us through this. H has said she is ready for school to start back as well, I know it has been a long week for her too. I feel bad, we didn't really do anything special for their week, and that is again my failure as a mother. But it is just so hard. I never dreamed that at this point in my life I would be a stay at home mom of three. I always wanted kids, but in my vision I was at work with one child not three. And I am trying so hard. They are so important to me and I wouldn't trade one day with them, even the bad. I just know that being a stay at home mom is so very hard. Please pray for guidance for me and for the kids.


Everyone is finally starting to get well, although G still has some chest congestion, tonight he is sleeping with the humidifier on so we will see if that helps him. He and L both have a runny nose, and L has been a little whinny this week so I don't think she feels just right. G finally has three teeth. One of his top teeth broke through this week, and you can see the other is just about to. He also looks to me to be gaining weight. He is spitting up much less, and I am going to try to wean him off the reflux meds and see what happens. I pray that he will continue to gain and not spit up with out the meds, as this is the ultimate goal to keep him from having to be scoped at 18months. The allergies are still present so we will continue with the allergy meds and hope that he outgrows these. He is not an eater and that is a little bothersome. His diet basically consist of Chicken nuggets, organic waffles, cheerios, and formula. These are the only things I can get this child to eat. I have tried everything and he just wont eat. I have been told that kids who have bed reflux don't like to eat because they associtate it with the pain of the reflux, so as he gets better I hope he will realize that he can eat and it will not hurt him. I have some cute pictures to share that we took at the park last weekend.









Next week B and T will be here I am so excited I cant even stand it. I haven't seen Bsince the cruise in 2004, she has never met L or G and I have never met T. It will be so fun. Michael will leave tomorrow for his annual trip to Vegas, so it is good B will be here. Tonight we took the girls to a park here to go trick or treating to benefit the Ronald McDonald house, we donated a few items and got to trick or treat. This was a great experience for Michael since he doesn't get to do Halloween with the kids. I will post the pictures as soon as I get them out of the camera. Then the week after next my mom will be here for L's birthday . I can believe she is going to be three already. We are planning a chuck E. cheese party. Well at least I think we are, I thought she would want to ride the train then Hailee talked her into the train , and today Lainey told me she wanted to so the train so I will ask her again tomorrow for a final plan and we will go from there.





I know I have not updated in a while so sorry, but I haven't has alot to report. I promise to try and so better.





I must ask a for a few prayer request. Today a friend that I know only through online but have great respect for learned that at 6 weeks pregnant she is having a miscarriage, I too know how this feels and would not wish this on anyone. Please pray for her and her family . I know she can use them. I also learned of a set of twins girls who both have cancer stage 4. That is it their is no stage 5, they need your prayers. please flood Heaven with prayers for their healing here on earth. you can visit them here http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/dunntwins . also please pray for little Ethan who is again going through chemo, pray that it will work this time or their are no more options for him http://www.ethanpowell.com/Encrypted.cfm?id=121.





I know that lately my blog updates haven't been that upbeat, and I hope that the mood will change soon, I just feel like right now things just keep piling on me and this is a great release for those things. I am sorry that they have been downers. Btu know that we are all ok, and although I am having some bad days it will get better,I have handed it over to God and I know he will take care of me and my family and it will all be ok. It is hard to hand everything over to God and not be in control, but I did it when we were looking for a house and look how well that worked out so i know that he will carry me. And I will let him. Well that will be all for tonight, the laundry is beeping that it is done so I need to put it up and go to bed. Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come....................................
