News to share

Yesterday our wonderful school administrator gave us the day off to rest, spend the day with families, seek the Lord, pray and or fast. This was done as our church came to the conclusion of our Spiritual Renewal Week.

I took the opportunity to take care of my health and go have my labs and some tests run that my doctor had asked me to do about 2 weeks ago. I have been under the weather lately. Which during the school year is nothing unusual for me. I have been unusually tired, and have not been able to just do the normal routine things that Mom's, wives, and mother's usually do. But like I said, this is not new for me.

I had the work up done at 8:30 am. By 2:30 the same afternoon, my doctor's office called me. She said, "Let me start with the good news".... when she said that, I tuned out. I knew it couldn't be good. So, here's the deal..... My white blood county is extremely low.... so low that my immune system is shot. As of now, I can and will catch anything.... any germ, any virus, I can and will get it. We don't know the cause of this. Only to say this, once I was given this news, it was kind of like once you know something, it seems to happen. Do you know what I mean? All of the sudden, everything became very heavy on me. Just to get up and walk around the house took all of me. I was weak and very disoriented. I know that it has everything to do with the unknown.

Here is the bottom line, I need to basically become really good friends with anti-bacterial hand sanitizer. I need to eat immune building foods, greens my husband says. I will go in a month to have more blood work drawn. However, if whatever is going on with me continues, I am to go back in sooner.

Can I handle this? No, but my Lord will take care of me! I just need to remember that He is in control and in my weakness, He is my strength.

Money, Money, Money

About a month ago, Greg and I decided that we would start paying Shelly an allowance. So yesterday, Greg sat down with her and laid out a plan of action. He actually came up with a pretty cool idea. She was going to have to set up a business. He made her name it, and then yesterday he helped her make a business plan. The both of them came up with "charges" basically how much we were going to pay her for each job that she did for us. He then made up business expenses that she would have to pay back. The final part of this task was the both of them creating invoices that she would give to me.

Wouldn't you know the minute she is done with her plan, she proceeds to want to vacuum, check the mail and then........
Yes.... she decided that she was going to wash Daddy's van. Because the fee for this job is $5.00. Once she got done , she realized that she negotiated to low of a price. To bad........
We will see how this new things works for us.
