Cards

After lunch Thomas is sitting counting the football cards he has. Over 40. I'm thinking 40? And so I ask, "Thomas, were did you get the money for all those cards"? Uh Oh!!! Silence. I ask again, and again. Guilt! So I say, "You will not get in trouble if you tell me the truth, but if you don't tell me the truth you are in BIG TROUBLE"!!! So the answer comes, he took it from Philip's bank. Thomas has money. I'm keeping it for his new bike. So I pay Philip with Thomas' money and I tell him to ask me for his money if he wants money. If it takes longer to raise money for a bike, well OK. But it's not right to steal. It did not phase Philip. Some how Thomas needs to learn you can not have your cake, and eat it too...but better to eat your own cake then steal your brothers cake! He has not done anything most of us have not done. Growing up is hard to do! Bless his heart! God bless his heart!!! I'm looking on e-bay for bikes. Pray that I can find a bike for Thomas on e-bay.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
