So tired

Have you ever been so tired you almost fall asleep when you sit down. My week has been so full I am really very tired. I won't bother you with the details. I worked hard, and plan to work hard this weekend and all week really.
The workers are still not done with the bathroom. They put the floor down tomorrow. I guess they grout the floor Monday. So maybe it will be finished on Tuesday or Wednesday? It really was a big job, and they put in many hours. It looks great. I will take pictures when it's finished!
Jessica got home today. She looked great! Her teacher said she was wonderful on the trip. She seemed very happy and proud. I guess I'll see photos next week. But I'm very happy to have her home.
Juergen has gone to his dads for the weekend. Richard just had surgery. He looks good Juergen said. I'm relieved to hear it. I'm definitely going to miss Juergen this weekend, but I'm glad he can be with his dad!
I wish I had something more interesting to report. Right now it’s really just work…followed by more work. If the weather is good the kids and I will clean up the garden. I don't think my kids will spoil me for mothers day, so I guess I will have to spoil them. I'm very glad to have them in my life. I'm wise enough to realize it isn't the flowers and gifts that count. I will have all 5 kids with me on Sunday. And in years to come I will wish with all my heart to simply have them all home at once. I'll miss Juergen on Sunday. I'll also miss my Mom. But I'll have my kids. And I'm a pretty blessed person!

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 ...
