It started right

Nicole and I went out to breakfast and then did some shopping. My cell phone is broken. I guess Nicole could have taken her phone? Anyway, we returned home to find an angry Juergen. The school called to have him pick Jessica up. She was very aggressive and had head lice. So I treated the lice with a special oil made for the purpose. I also treated my head, and Sarah's head. I have to wash loads of laundry (not fun). And as for the aggression? I think Jess is really upset about the end of school...and all the changes. They want us to drug her up. I'm making an appointment with her Dr to see about any natural remedies (serotonin maybe). Her aggression is too much for the new placement. They may not take her now! She is afraid, and I don't think she should be drugged. But maybe the back and forth between the old and new schools is too much for her! It's a mess!
I'm trying to stay calm. I'll take care of the wash...I can manage that. I'll call the Dr too. I will try not to panic.

I took photo's of the garden. It's looking very lovely.

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 ...
