Yes, I am still among the living! I've actually been super busy with homeschooling Jacob, among other things. He continues to learn and grow and amaze me pretty much every day.
Well. As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been writing here much. That's because I am now writing over at MomPro!! I am so excited to be part of this ministry.... Great things are going to happen there!
Just click HERE and please subscribe! Then you will get all of the wonderful writing from a diverse and wondeful group of authors right into your inbox!
I am leaving this blog right where it is, and I'm not saying I'll never be back. But the majority of my writing will now be on the MomPro site. I am featured Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Soon there will be more exciting things available on MomPro...an exclusive line of my jewelry being one of them!
I am very excited about this opportunity, and I would LOVE your support.

YAY
My blog is fixed! Photobucket had some serious issues, and my blog was all messed up. Never fear...I am BACK! Takes more than a technicality to shut me up! : )
So anyway. Today has been busy, busy, busy. I've been feeling so much better since my sister got home from the hospital, but she's still in a lot of pain, and running a fever and stuff. She went to the doctor today (the surgeon) and he gave her an antibiotic, which made ME feel better.
I have been doing a Bible study on suffering, and this week I decided it's the FIRST thing I'm going to do in the morning, and it has made SUCH a difference. This morning I was a liiiiitle grumpy, so I told Jacob Mommy needed to do her Bible study so I could get some patience. I NEVER would have made it through the day without it.
This study is really good. There are like 12 lessons, I think, and I just finished 4. I learn best when I write things out, so I've been taking notes on the lessons, and writing out the verses she references (unless it's a long passage, then I summarize).
Anyway. My poem has gotten some attention it seems! If any of you reading are going to the National Convention for MG, you may hear it read. I will not be there, but someone asked if they could take it to the Nat'l. Convention in May. I was like, OF COURSE!
Then a student in Biomedical Science in the UK asked me if I would be willing to do a diary type entry on her website she has to create for a school project. I am SO EXCITED!!! I went to college to teach children. I learned after I graduated that I liked teaching older kids (I loved middle school, I know, crazy!) Now I'm teaching in a whole different way. It's like, God really is giving me my heart's desire. Just in a TOTALLY different way than I could have expected.
I LOVE to write. That's what I want to do. And because of this illness, I am getting so many opportunities I never would have had. It just reminds me that GOD is in control. And thank goodness. I'm SO thrilled with what's coming down the pike, and it NEVER would have happened had I been healthy. I probably wouldn't have even pursued writing. And it is so important to me.
I have had a tough time the last few years, to be sure. However, things are looking up. Mostly, because I am!

Random Thoughts
1. I am so completely OCD. I can't stop doing a crossword puzzle until either it's done, or all the words going across match up in a straight line.
2. I was at the doctors office Wednesday and the front two table legs of their perfectly lovely evenly sided square coffee side table were tapered in from top to bottom. WHY?!?!??! I couldn't concentrate the entire visit.
3. Did you know you can walk a bumble bee? Catch them (Jacob had 3 in his butterfly house the other day), put them in the freezer for 10 minutes (this won't kill them, just slow 'em down a lot), and you can gently tie a string on them and take them for a walk as they come out of it.
4. The caterpillars that make beautiful butterflies are hideous. I think there's a life lesson in there somewhere.
5. Going to Ann Arbor today. Plasmapheresis. I've had somewhere around 300 plasmapheresis treatments in the past 10 years. Maybe more.
6. We went swimming for the first time this season last night. Jacob has grown about 5 inches since last summer, according to where the water hits him.
7. Our black lab thinks that our homemade duck pond is a fantastic swimming pool.
8. I completely overdid it yesterday, but this morning fell much better. Not 100%, but close to my "normal." (No comment from the peanut gallery).
9. I love to write more than anything else in the world. I'm a word nerd. Finding just right word for the right occasion, LOVE IT. Guess that's why I like to teach.
10. Blogging has opened up a whole new world to me, and I love it. I have met some amazing people. Some not so amazing, but overall it's been a hugely positive experience. I can totally be me, and most people get that. Very cool.
Hope everyone has a FANTASTIC Memorial Day weekend. Don't forget to thank a vet!!!
