Hospitals and Cabin Fever

We have had quite the rough couple weeks...

It all started one Sunday when we went to church. I gathered all my courage and took the kids to visit a new church. The people were wonderful and amazing. But we came home with a very sick kiddoe.

We did round the clock albuterol treatments for 2.5 weeks.  I did learn that it is now better to use the inhalor with a spacer. Which really makes life easier!!

I have not put him a church nursery in over a year. The first time I do, he gets very ill.

We  ended up in the ER and the Children's hospital. I have a whole separate post for that.

But after the hospitalization we were stuck in the house for 2 weeks. Because EVERYTHING triggered his asthma and neither one of us was sleeping much at night.

So the kids put on a show for Nesiah and I! I enjoyed it more then Nesiah did.

I sewed curtains for the girl's room redo.
 (which was put on hold indefinitely because we can not paint if it is humid or if Bubbie is in flare up)

We had some pretty crazy storms...

We lost internet for a week, until in desperation I flagged down the repairman as he was working down the road. Bless his heart, he came out and did a quick fix for me!

Beach Fun

I have this friend that is a single mom with 3 adopted kiddoes. We love hanging out and exchanging parenting tips and letting our kids play. Our kids are good friends. We have made so many great memories together. 

Friends

Many years ago, when  I was a young mom struggling to navigate the education system in our county, I met a group of crazy ladies at the church we  attended.

Every Wednesday evening the kids would all go to their classes. The moms would gather in the lobby to chat. They were all homeschool moms. Really, I was shocked. I had never met homeschool moms that were not jumper wearing, 15 passenger driving moms!

These ladies talked me into homeschooling. They opened my eyes to the blessing of homeschooling. They walked me through my first year, and my second and my third and fourth! lol

We continue to chat online quite frequently. Over the years our group has lost some members and gained some. We don't see each other very often, especially since some people had to move across the country!


Recently we got together again. I actually got to go out for coffee without kids! They came to my house to hang out on another day. I look forward to learning how to homeschool high school from these amazing ladies.
