slow and steady

I am slowly feeling better....still very little energy...it seems like I do a little around the house and then am exhausted.  I am more frustrated than anything.  The kids are finished with school and they are trying to be patient with me but they to are frustrated that I cannot just take them where they want to go.  All in all they are being good about it. 

I had more blood work done yesterday...hoping that my potassium and sodium which were extremely low when I was hospitalized are back to normal.....

ok...back to the camp weekend.... the weekend was for families for kids with mental/emotional  issues.  A couple of the families were adoptive families that we knew from our adoptive support group and the other families were new to us.    During the weekend we played games...like charades  with paydoh...and some of the adults had a harder time having fun with it than the kids and the rest of us.  They were just so competitive.  It was  supposed to be fun and  and some of them stormed off. Puhleaze people ,,,,it is just a game and was supposed to be fun.....and just because I  guessed cat before  my team even started to build anyting there is no way I could cheat when  the clue was written down and at the other end of the room.....LOL  (shh..don't tell them I have x-ray vision!)

 

 

 

On to more local news.....SHE has been taken off her bipolar meds and things are not going well in her life right now.    Hopefully SHE will be able to get back on them soon....

I have been changing my mind about NG's Mom....NG's Mom has realized that she made a mistake taking SHE into her home so quickly and she is seeing how SHE can be.  Over the weekend SHE gave an attitude to NG's Mom's boyfriend and left me tell you, he scares me.  This guy is over 6'4" and about 300 pounds and SHE was giving him an attitude. 

It seems from what I can tell, SHE was telling her business to everyone at the sheltered workshop SHE works at...and one of the guys SHe works with is a friend of NG's Mom's boyfriend. ( in the house that SHE lives in  is : SHE, NG, NG's Mom and NG's Mom's boyfriend)..and SHE told that guy that they were going to be kicking her out,throwing her stuff out and that SHE didn't have a place to go....( sound familar?)  so, the guy called NG's Mom's boyfriend and asked about that...and the boyfriend set the guy straight.... if SHE didn't do certaint hings, SHE would have to find another place to live in the future, and they were not throwing out her stuff.

SHE surely has not changed her stories.....

I know, I know....I haven't updated....

Last week I got hit with a virus that ended me in the ER...fever going up to 104, that I could not get to break even with motrin...DR said he had seen a lot of it....I am still slowly getting my energy back.  While I was out of it, my Mom came and cleaned the house ....Not that you can tell anymore ( thanks kids!)  

 

I cannot get my pics to load on  my laptop ...I Haven't found the program on it to get my pics of the memory card.....hmmmmm

ok...back to  our camping weekend....

We stayed at a very very rustic camp...when I say rustic I mean rustic...there was one bath house with a common sink area.....YOu could hear the guys as they were on thier side of the bathhouse doing their stuff, not my idea of fun.  Our cabin had NO electricity( thankfully, I brought a lantern) and only had walls half way up and was screened in the other way up. The bunk that I had was held together with yarn, so I slept on the floor.  DQ decided to join me on the floor.  There were no street lights to light the way to the bath house , so , thankfully, I had our little camping port-a-potty in the cabin in a far corner.....

There was a small beautiful lake that the kids ( and adults too if they wanted) could fish, canoe, kayak or swim in.  Son went fishing and caught the biggest thing of the weekend...an old camp chair someone had thrown away the year before.... TEEn went kayaking, without permission, and flipped itint he middle of the lake and had to be rescued, thankfully she had on a lifevest.....

more later!!!

beliefs

As a Christian, I have thought that I believed certain waysand that I would never falter...and then something happens and I realize that those beliefs are fuzzy and now I am thinking that even though I still believe a certain way, I need to allow compromises...and that it is still wrong but that God will understand and still love us... fuzzy?  yup...and something I really cannot talk about it  here....just know we could use prayers...and that we are ok,,,just that someone I know  has a decision to make and it is not an easy one to make....
