I've been busy playing over on Yahoo 360. I can't help it if they make it more fun and easy to connect with others.
For those of you too shy to venture over to My Other Blog, here's what we've been up to. It hasn't all been rosy.
On October 30th, DH entered into indentured slavery. He is trapped on a sinking ship. There is too much work and not enough workers. He is sacrificing to try and keep the paycheck coming. Pray for him with us. He hasn't had a day off since the 30th.
The boys are doing great despite the lack of family time we've had. Amazingly they still have trick or treat candy left and teeth still in their mouths.
I made a deal with DS11 that I won't give him spelling tests if he promises to use spellcheck. This is how I learned how to spell. I spent years in the public school system excelling at most subjects except spelling. Once I began using a keyboard and having the words highlight when I mispelled them, it all clicked. DS11 is spending more time on the computer these days.
Yumi had her operation. She was away for 25 hours but we missed her so much! I think they fell in love with her at the vet too. She returned to us like nothing had happened. Her belly is still naked, but she's stopped licking her incision.
I tried to start our holiday enjoyment by making cinnamon applesauce ornaments. They didn't work out. (Thanks a lot Martha!) I have started to get our house season ready by cleaning and clearing out. It feels good to purge and simplify.
Next week we are hosting a HEARTS party. The kids are collecting books for a family shelter and school supplies for a school in Kabul, Afganistan. Sadly, our turnout will be low. I'm trying to see past this and realize how important it is for even one person to give of their time. I want the boys to learn how rewarding volunteering can be.
Well, that's about all my sore throat will allow me right now. Time for another cup of Elderberry Tea.
