tired...just in my mind?

I am tired...I've noticed I'm tiring more easily. I'm just not sure if I've noticed because I am more tired, or if I know that I should be because I'm anemic. Whatever it is, I hope that I rebound quickly from this Hemoglobin of 10 (should be 12) and Ferretin (iron) level of 8 (should be 40) with the IV iron treatments next week. It's only 8 o'clock and I really want to go to bed.

Took the kids (with a friend and her two girls) to The Mall in Raleigh specifically to the Build-A-Bear. The girls all had gift cards. Nate didn't want a new animal, just a set of "basketball clothes" for his bear. We had to dress Fuzzy in his new clothes as soon as we got home.

We also had lunch and toured the new Lego's store in the Mall before leaving. Lots and lots and lots of Lego's...amazing! There was a set (age=16) for a complete carousel, I can't even imagine how long that would take to build.

I quickly popped into the homeschool gathering place to pick up our next Math-U-See DVD/Teacher's manual, Gamma....multiplication, used and 1/2 price! A whole set of third grade A beka readers were in the free bin, so I had to pick those up...they make great reading material. I also got "Get set for the Code", the beginning book for Nate for the Explode the Code phonics series.

With Joe attending seminary, we do not know if we will change how we school the kids...but I'm keeping in mind that I may need to work some and that would mean a change. Homeschooling may not be the plan for next year...we'll see what God has up His sleeve ; ) It's hard to believe, no matter what, that Third grade is just around the corner for my girl!

Unexpected Blessings, Birds and Bees

Well, yesterday was an interesting day. It came on the heels of a weekend of sickness, both Nate and Joe. Nate was officially diagnosed with croup and exacerbation of asthma and is still taking steroids and sounds worse, but the light at the end of the tunnel is on! Joe stayed in all weekend and sounded almost as bad as Nate minus the wheezing. We kept our family home (even from church, small group, etc) feeling like hermits. And, even though the boys were both sick, I picked up sweet Bella the dog on Saturday from a friend who works with the NC Lab rescue group. We know we eventually want another dog, but not until Nate is old enough to handle it. Bella, a one year old yellow lab- sheltie mix, house-broken, crate-trained 28 pound sweet girl, is going to spend a little time at our house and see how it goes. The kids think we're pet-sitting to help out Mrs. D, which is true, sort-of. The sweetest moment came yesterday when Nate gave a bedtime blessing to Bella the Dog. &qu

Overheard from the front seat of the Mini-van...

Nate: "mommy is E (a friend's son) 2 or 4? Me: "He's 2" Nate: "Well, that's not far from 4" Nate: After a moment "Mommy, How did E's Mommy get the baby sissy in her tummy" Me: "Well, it's pretty cool...God made a very special way for Mommy's and Daddy's to grow a baby in Mommies' tummies kinda like planting a seed" Nate: "Can boys have babies" Me: "No, God just gave mommies the special parts to have a baby in their tummies" Nate: "I want you to get a baby in your tummy" Me: "Well, Mommies parts don't work to have babies anymore" Nate: "Mommy, how old do I have to be to play basketball...."
