I can tell that in general my life is better. I am going to bed earlier and sleeping well. I still don’t wake up totally rested but oh well…. I’ve been making lots more homemade food–things like cream soups to freeze, or other things to put in the freezer. I can think about spending time [...]
Each night, at bed time, we cuddle in bed. We say our prayers. His latest AWANA jewel required him to pray for a teacher, a friend, and a missionary. This was good. I had tried before to show him how to pray for others but it wasn’t quite clicking. Thanks to the AWANA project, he [...]
If you’ve peeked at my Pinterest boards you may have seen that I happen to really like a certain football team…. Several weeks ago, before the game, I saw this clip on the pre-game show. Even if you don’t love football, please watch it for me–it’s back story for the rest of the post. [...]
I read lots of 2011 wrap up posts this past week. *Favorite posts of the year *Favorite crafts of the year *Favorite book of the year *Favorite photos of the year *Favorite memories of the year I really enjoyed those and while I feel I should write something like that I just don’t have the [...]

Last Friday was a big day in our family. I knew that Lee’s parole officer was taking him in at least for the weekend and most likely for longer. I was tired and emotional and wished I could just ignore the day. It was one of my classic, “I’m so tired I’m about to shut [...]
I went to visit Lee on Christmas Eve. The visiting room was decorated. A tree stood in the corner its lights twinkling brightly. A toy train chugged around the base,happily unaware of its location. The air was full of the sounds of people in a festive mood. Lots of loud talking, laughter, and smiles. There [...]
Well! We took Lee down yesterday. We had to wait awhile for the truck and we started wondering if this was going to be the same old stuff like the last job. We went out to eat –I had a gift card! We went back and had to wait awhile longer and then here came [...]
I just saw this this morning. I really like Swagbucks–I get free points for searching and then I buy Amazon gift cards with the points. I clicked on another offer to earn points quickly and found this. Sign up for Swagbucks or log into your account. Click on Special Offers Click on Radium One Angel [...]
I can’t begin to describe the problems at this job. But wanted to clarify that it’s not Lee dropping a job and being lazy or looking for “pie in the sky”. While we were gone–YES we know it was really cool we could along and it was a perk of this job–ok we were gone. [...]
