Garage sale a success!
We raised a bunch of money for this trip, but have a lot to go. We will be having another sale in the near future, and am contemplating sending out letters to people we know. It seems so strange to do this, but if everyone we knew donated only 20.00 or so, we could easily cover all this expense, and we could go without worry. Should I ask? Hmmm. Michelle brought up a donation button from paypal, which I have up, but am uneasy about opening my blog up to the public. Is there any incriminating evidence on here that would show I am a bad mommy or something LOL! What say you, JoAnn?

Garage sale time!!
Phew! This garage sale stuff is fun, and exhausting at the same time. I am currently sore from every area of my body. It's okay though because we needed to get rid of alot of excess as well as raise money for a trip in June to California. Rachel's disability is microcephaly from ponto-cerebellar hypoplasia. She is 2 and a half but functioning at about a 7 or 8 month old level. The top doctor in the USA is going to be speaking there as well as seeing patients for a thorough diagnosis. We have already sent all her records and MRI scans to him in the mail, and he has given the above diagnosis through that, but there is nothing that would compare to seeing her in front of him. Plus, there is the aspect of having our other children see and meet kids who have siblings just like Rachel. There will be speakers for them as well. So this will be an entire family event, going to California in our van. It is about 1500 miles from here, so we will be taking it slowly. Don't forget we have a 3 year old as well, LOL! It makes me nervous just thinking about it, but it is truly something we need to do. I am overwhelmed by the donations to our yard sale so far...it is awesome to have such great friends. They have donated tables to use, and stuff to sale, as well as buying stuff! We will make it to this conference by God's grace alone. I am sure of it. Pray for a good sale!

Musings from the day
Well, another day gone! Why do these days just fly by?? I mean, seriously. When I was a kid, and then even into my 20's, everything seemed in slow motion. I couldn't wait for the kids to grow up some, and to just be done with certain things. Now, it just zooms by and I want to grab ahold of the day and just reign it back in. It's all out of my control, and I don't like giving up control....of anything. It is so very hard for me. I cry when I think of my kids growing up and leaving. I don't like the thought of growing older, AT ALL! I know I am not pregnant right now, and I am sort of glad, but there are times that I just stop and count how many possible years I have left to concieve and I get nervous...Like, what if I enter menopause early?? I don't want to be done...but yet....here I sit. Frozen in a time where everything else is just spinning by. I am stuck, but the rest of the world isn't. It is very disconcerting.
Ick...must get past that first paragraph. Onto more lighter things. We went on an awesome homeschool field trip today. We saw exhibits and participated in things at the geoscience center in Tulsa. That was cool.....my kids getting to see dinosaur poop, and fossils, and rocks. Now, duh...they were telling it all from a "scientific" point of view, like millions of years ago baloney, but my kids know better and it WAS still informative. Holding fool's gold is kind of neat you know. Adam already had a rock collection started, so he added a couple more to it.
Got home from the field trip, and the kids were late to start their paper routes.....We still had to quickly eat dinner, and then they went out. We called the paper and told them we would be late, which was fine, because we are NEVER late, and we have worked this job for 3 years now. So, they said fine...and so it was fine. The kids leave, and a half hour later, my daughter comes home completely red faced and no coat on. Mind you, it was snowing!!! I said, what is wrong, to which she replied "Hall".
I said "huh"??? She retells the story that he jumped on her on his porch after he opened the door and she handed him his paper. He demanded to know why she was late, and she told him that we were in the city all day. To which he replied that "we didn't tell him that it would be late...we should have it on our answering machine or something"!! As if! She told him that "she was sorry", and he proceeds to say, "I called 3 times, and hate answering machines, and that her brother never screwed up the service and she should not expect him to tip her this month." He asks her if she understood, and she said "yes"...Then he goes, "no you dont"!!! He belittled my daughter for no reason! To put the icing on the cake, he didn't even call! He lied about that even. So, my husband immediately marches to his house and confronts the guy.
Hall said "it's their job to give me a paper, and I am a customer". Tony said that he understands that, but "she was gone for school, and that she never gives him bad service. Dont yell at my daughter and hold a tip over her head like a carrot and belittle her just because one day you get your paper late!"
Well, I am going to talk to the newspaper manager and stop him, because I will NOT have my child treated this way...period. If they don't let us stop him, then my kids will quit. Plain and simple.
Whew! That was a handful....More later.

finally, with updates!!
So, it's been forever. Sick families, plus finding facebook has made me choose my time carefully. Facebook---never thought I would get into it, but it really is fun! A big time waster, but still fun nontheless. I hope the novelty wears off soon, because I need to preserve some more memories here.
By the way...who is reading from virginia? Hello whoever you are!! Sorry my blog has been so boring lately.
Basketball is almost over, thank the good Lord!! We have sustained only a few injuries this year. 2 sprained ankles from one kid, and a sprained wrist/silver cap falling out from another. They all want to play again next year, so I guess all is well. Now the daughter wants to play too, so next year shall be busy, I am sure! The two little guys are playing on the local YMCA this year also. I don't know about this Y stuff. They focus on teamwork, which is great, but they let the kids get away with so much stuff. They don't really enforce dribbling, and the fouling is kind of out of control. I don't think that is good learning. But what do I know? LOL!
Rachel has been put in her stander once. She kind of liked it, but it left pressure marks on her knees and feet. Wonder what I can do about that? She is so much more expressive these days. She has this love/hate relationship with this fuzzy blue pillow. She grabs it, gets overwhelmed with the texture, recoils and screams, but then goes in again. It is hilarious. She used to get overwhelmed with certain things in a bad way, and would take awhile to calm down, so this isn't like that. She realizes the pillow is safe, and fun....just a little weird, and she wants to touch it.
Aaron's eye is about the same. He claims he doesn't see double, but who knows? We go in to the surgeon in a couple of weeks. He is pretty grumpy lately. I think he is hitting this stage where he is too big for the littles, and to little for the bigs. He doesn't quite know where he fits in, and so he argues with everyone alot. We are working on that....
Conner is the most creative person I know. He is 5 years old, and can make some of the most original lego creations ever! They look like lego should sell them, that's how good they are...seriously. I am the worst critic about things, and if I am impressed, that means it is good. They are huge, and elaborate planes, and star wars type things. I should get a pic on here.
Adam has been playing on a YMCA team, but also getting to play with Trinity's Junior High team, which is an honor because he is only 5th grade and it is usually reserved for 6th and 7th graders. He looks so little out there, but he loves it and is very good.
Nathan is still very much Nathan. Stopped the whole potty training thing, did a complete 180, and I have no clue what to do. You think moms with 8 kids would be super experienced and know everything, well....I am here to dispell that myth. They are truly individuals, and what works for one wont work for the other. We have chosen not to fight him, and just be encouraging when he tries.
whew....My fingers hurt, so I will close this novel. Please leave me a comment and tell me who still reads this blog. :)

My kids were on live television!!!
Here they are...posing before going live. It's Gary England! Most of those children in the picture were mine!! The two his arms are around, the big two in the back, the grumpy little guy next to the big girl in the back, and the two right in front of the two with his arms on. The only one missing is Ms. Rachel....who was hanging out happily on daddy.
Here is our weather, and what was showing right before their debut!
And here is the television shot. Woohoo!! They toured a real life newschannel studio. Much fun!! Love being a homeschooler!!!!Monday, January 26, 2009
TOO MUCH STUFF....GOTTA GO!
So, goodness...where has the time gone? Oh, I know!!!! It's been flittered away in a sea of decluttering and family life with 10 people. I feel so free......but still not done. Oh no, dear folks...I have been grabbing a pile and taking it to my sorting room...sorting it, getting rid of half, and then organizing the other half. Rinse, and repeat...It's that bad, people!!!!!!
I have put so much crap in boxes that my garage is full, and now my exercise and laundry room is full. I am being ruthless, and it is amazing just how much stuff we have. I think I mentioned this before, but when one has 8 curriculums for 1st graders and only 2 potential first graders moving up, something is the matter. I guess I thought I would just keep having kid after kid after kid....and maybe someday I will again, but for now...I need it gone! And then if I DO need it, I will buy it then...not store it now.
I will be filthy rich with all the garage sale money, and ebay money~~ Ha! I wish, but it will get a bunch...and plus, I won't be hit with late fees for this lost book, or that late bill...or have to buy another pair of scissors because I can't find mine and I got tired of looking.
So, that is where I am....keep praying Joann. I know I have been quiet here and on your blog, but I have to do this....the longer my husband stays home, the more money we lose on jobs. But you know what??? We are getting along better and the kids get their daddy home. There is somethign to say about the biblical verse that talks about taking a sabbath the seventh year. This is his seventh year. Coincidence?? I think not!
Love ya...thanks for always checking on me!

Wouldn't you just LOVE to be me, right now?
First, eye surgery...then heart monitoring...then rotator cuff injury...then near broken ankle. Add all this with dental appointments, Rachel's therapies, orthodontist appointments, neurology appointments, more eye surgeon consults, and court to testify against a child pornography viewer that my husband turned in.......I have about had enough! Seriously! I am spent. This is beyond the limits of my control. Failed to mention, Ohio in May and California in June...where is the money going to come from for that? We are uninsured (Tony and I) and his x-rays and dr. visit cost 110.00 (to be clear...that was half price due to self pay) Medicine was 12.00. Thank the Lord for the 4.00 wal mart plan. Orthopedics and surgery will probably be a ton! Know where any good rocks are?? I would like to crawl under one right now.

miscellany
Well, this weekend has been fun! We decided to move the sleeping situations around. We are now in the dining room, which is just off the kitchen....the boys (Aaron, Braydon, Conner, and Nathan) are in our room...and we now have a much larger exercise room. We have 2 treadmills, an eliptical, an exercise bike, and a total gym...plus a small trampoline, and some free weights. Why are we fat? Because we lack movation, and there was no room in the house to put it all out. So, now.....we can have all of it set out ready to hop on, and we will have a t.v. in there so maybe I will watch exercise videos or something....or just keep the kids happy with a video where I can watch them. :) I am sure Amy knows what I mean there!! Hopefully, this works out.
On another note....we have sold some things on craigslist... I am so happy about that! We found a perfectly nice hideabed that someone was throwing away. Nothing wrong with it. Loaded it up, along with a platform bed, and took it home. We gave the bed away on freecycle, to a very happy woman I might add...and then sold the couch. Made $75.00! We also sold a toddler bed that we no longer need. Since Rachel is disabled, we will not likely be putting her in a toddler bed anytime soon, and Nathan already has one, so we had an extra. Sold it for $40.00 to a very excited mommy! Also, we found a printer on ebay just like the one we had that I loved, but finally wore out. Bought it the same day we sold the couch....guess how much we got it for???? $75.00. God is so good, isn't He? This printer is a newer model than my old one, plus comes with lots of extra ink. WooHoo!!
Aaron's eye is still messed up, so we emailed the surgeon, and are going in on Monday to reevaluate the situation. I want another surgery, and don't think it is benificial to wait 6 weeks. He is still seeing double when he looks up or to the side, for crying out loud! That can't be fun?!
We are now going to another church. It is a church comprised of mostly homeschoolers. Larger families, and all that too! My kids love it there and feel very welcome and at home. I miss our old church, but feel like God wants us to go where it is safe for my kids. There is no boyfriend/girlfriend talk, no texting cell phones, no secular music discussions....Just plain family stuff. Kids are kids there....not wanna be adults with attitudes. We told our old pastor about this church in a discussion that I will most likely talk about on another post. He was kind of non commital...he misses us, but wants us to go where we feel like God wants us to be.
No weight loss this week, but moving half a house might help by next week, ya think?
Joann, where are you?????????

Joann, where are you?????????
Wednesday, January 07, 2009
Hi, Amy! This one is for you
Joann, you should go to Amy's website (www.humblemusings.com) and join in the weightloss challenge. You are already doing it on your own, you should become part of the group...it would be great accountability (plus you might win 200.00!)
Amy, just a couple of random shots....my husband and I , and then my face...ick, I hate the double chin. I never had one of those before. Must be the 30's. Click on the one with my husband and me. It looks better up close. Aren't we a nice couple??? :)

aaron's "progress"
This is what we are still dealing with. I am still angry.... The surgery was a success in releasing the trapped muscle and placing an implant in his orbit to prevent intrapment again, but he is still having trouble looking up, and is still seeing double. We are possibly looking at muscle surgery in another 5 to 6 weeks.
Why am I angry? Well, originally when this happened, his vision was double and his eye was all wonky. They did a CT scan, and told us he fractured it and the muscle was trapped. Sent us to an MD eye doctor. He then transferred us to the ear, nose and throat doctor....not quite sure about that one, but whatever. He kept seeing "improvements" in Aaron's eye movements, so we kept being told to wait. The kicker was the Thursday of last week. He was about to discharge us and call it a day, saying he had much improvement and all looked great. I looked at him incredulous, and said, "are you seeing what I am seeing??" I had Aaron look straight at me, and told him to lift his eyes. This is what we saw. It was crazy, but I think because the doc was having him lift his head, it looked like improvement, but when his head was straight, it was so obvious. He immediately was on the phone with the plastic surgeon.
This is now, 3 days after surgery. Not a whole boatload of difference, huh?
Did we waste precious time waiting around for this doctor? Did the time cause his problem to be worse, or was it there from the get go? There was no scar tissue according to the surgeon, so his take is that the muscle was damaged, thus the surgery in the future. Is it really appropriate to wait that long for that proceedure? Is my son going to see double vision for the rest of his life due to some doctors error?

Aaron surgery photos
This is where they marked which eye to operate on, so they dont go fiddling with the wrong one.
This is me, in my surgical mommy garb...I got to go back with him, and watch him start to seize from the anesthesia...that was weird!! they said it was normal, but I didn't like it ONE bit.
Right after surgery, still zonked out.
Fully awake and ready to go home, complete with the hospital puppy.....Friday, December 19, 2008
Aaron update

Mother N
N is for Now What?!!?
Aaron fell yesterday and broke bones around his eye socket and nose. He planted his face smack dab in the end of a scooter handle. He cannot move his eye up and down, and they are talking surgery.
Ashley is going for an echocardiogram today due to heart pain and palpitations. Her biological father died in his 30's due to a heart attack.
We got back from Amarillo Sunday night after hanging out all day long in our hometown waiting for day to pass so we can go to a really cool light display and double decker bus ride/train rides, only to find out they only do it on friday and saturday nights....it was sunday. Only the sign said all activities open all weekend. I guess sunday isn't a weekend?? So we wasted money, gas and all day for nothing.
My husband is seriously backlogged at work and it just got worse with the hospital visit yesterday and then he had to take Ashley today because I have to take Aaron to the eye surgeon.
Oh, but my son's team won the lego robotics tournament. Their team won out of 41 teams. We get to go to Ohio in 5 months now to the u.s. open tournament. It is in Dayton. I have never been to Ohio. Between this little jaunt, and the micro conference in July, we are gonna be broke.

We got back from Amarillo Sunday night after hanging out all day long in our hometown waiting for day to pass so we can go to a really cool light display and double decker bus ride/train rides, only to find out they only do it on friday and saturday nights....it was sunday. Only the sign said all activities open all weekend. I guess sunday isn't a weekend?? So we wasted money, gas and all day for nothing.
My husband is seriously backlogged at work and it just got worse with the hospital visit yesterday and then he had to take Ashley today because I have to take Aaron to the eye surgeon.
Oh, but my son's team won the lego robotics tournament. Their team won out of 41 teams. We get to go to Ohio in 5 months now to the u.s. open tournament. It is in Dayton. I have never been to Ohio. Between this little jaunt, and the micro conference in July, we are gonna be broke.
