Wow it has been a long time.....

It has been more than a while.....considering that much has gone on and past, the quick scenario is best. Well after 6 weeks of suffering in pain and fatigue, I went to the doctor to get my steriods and antibiotics. Did it help? For the short duration of 2 weeks, now it's coming back.
I spent as much time with my children before school started this Monday. We went to the county fair 2 weeks ago and enjoyed it throughly. We've decided that next year we would like to enter into a few different competitions.
While we were there, we visited the animals. After seeing them and knowing they were going to the slaughter I just can't eat meat. I can eat fish though. I have fish of my own and have fell in love with a few but I don't feel for them as other animals. Hey, Jesus ate fish.
So Christiana and myself have started eating vegetarian food. I've tried 2 bites of meat since and spit it out. I can't stand the taste now either.
I've been feeling better a bit and not as full and bloated so that's good. I think my body has been detoxing. I have had severe headaches every day for a week. Nothing has relieved them either.
I guess we'll wait and see what my body does with my new eating habits.

As for the kids, Not much has happened to them. Our 24th wasn't all we had expected. We didn't make it to the parade but watched it all on tv. We weren't able to do fireworks but the kids and me went downtown and watched 2 different shows go off at the same time. They didn't really care for them so I told them next year we'd just do some at home. I was too tired through the day so the kids didn't go anywhere else. The tried a lemonade stand and I told them they wouldn't make much if any money because everyone was doing something other than driving. And of course an hour after sitting watching 2 cars go by they called it quits.
From then on they've listened to me as of when to do the stand and when not to.
It was cute though!
Christiana visited Vicki's but said it wasn't that fun because no one really played with her. Katie, Malcolm's kid, did however play with her and spent the night too. I explained to her that unfortunately the kids are too old and Vicki and Jerry aren't used to having a young child around anymore. She understood but I don't think it made her feel better. I can't believe Chad is going into college. I remember when he was maybe 6 and I would tease him and call him skunk. Veronica looks like a beautiful young adult. Although she's only 16. I think or maybe 15. Anyhow, I visited shortly with Amber and Krystal and saw there children. It's strange looking at them and realizing that they're all grown up too. Then I realize I'm not to far off in age from them either. What my older cousins must think of me.
Speaking about older cousins, I visited Colleen and Aunt Renee and Don where up visiting. That just sounds so weird. I did go to Aunt Renee's house right? :) She told me this isn't my home anymore so they can do whatever they want to it. I would have to agree since Colleen has definitely done some changes to it and is still in the works of more. You'll have to see it!
Anyhow she was due in 2 weeks but looked great. She's been on a diabetic diet and lost 20 lbs already. (or was it 40) Anyhow, she's been feeling so good she's decided to keep on it. Her siblings and her have a goal to run some triatholon next year and are all working hard to do it.

My garden is flourishing so much I have to prune my tomatoes again. They're huge plants and keep tipping over. I can't work the stakes into the ground anymore and they just can't keep up because they're so top heavy. Not to mention I'm not getting enough fruit as I am foliar.
I plan to look into schooling as a master gardener. I LOVE Gardening and learning more and more about different soils, plant species, insects and diseases. I was always good in school with biology. Since I can't work in the medical field as I had planned, because I'll be putting myself at risk with my health, I might just swing it another way.
Well that's a whole other story.

So back to the kids are in school now. That doesn't include Faith until next Monday. She did however meet with her teacher and do her assessment. I had to laugh at how cute she is. I love her to pieces and I think her teacher will to.

Well that's good enough for now. Talk more later.
