Some great news... we applied for a handicap tag for parking for Meagan.  We got a temporary one while we were at disney world.  Today I got the approval from the state & the nice blue handicap thing that hangs on your rear view mirror!  YEAH!  This helps out so much when the buildings are FAR away from the parking lot or when she is having bad ( Read more... )

I got a call from the nurse at Meagan's school at 11:00am today (Monday). She was in the office complaining of a tummy ache about 10 min prior. The nurse took her temp (good) then encouraged her to go eat since hunger causes tummy aches for Meagan (they were to eat in 2 min). She got her food, sat down & was in tears so back to the nurse she went. ( Read more... )

For those that have followed our school frustrations...yes it is happening AGAIN!

Who do you contact if you're not getting any resolution at the school & you have gone to the various depts, the principal, & superintendent.  There has to be someone higher that I can contact....  Sami has the SAME name as another girl.  They are NOT in the same grade ( Read more... )

We have been sick off & on & tummy aches & such for several weeks & I thought we were passing the flu back & forth.  My MIL was here & had peanut butter here & got sick on the way home.  Today she saw there was a recall of peanut butter & checked the one she has been using since Christmas & it was the bad stuff!  She headed to the clinic & since ( Read more... )

For a long time I felt like there was a wall that separated me & God... It was the most lonely feeling & lost feeling I have ever felt. Now that I have stopped my turned from the sinful life I was leading, I have noticed that this wall seems to be getting smaller & smaller... little did I realize that this is actually talked about in the Bible! I ( Read more... )

God is so awesome!  It stormed really bad last night & so when we woke up it was fairly dark.  I was laying in bed with Leah & Meagan & I started to pray out loud.  I prayed for God's protection over all of us, over our family, to be with Alyssa & Sami while they are away from us, etc.  I then said Thank-you God & the BRIGHTEST beam of light came ( Read more... )
