Chris is home and is a completely different person than when he left. I thank God for that. Chris is calm and peaceful. He is happy. He is very respectful and honest. We are so blessed to have him back home and healthy. He has filled out while he was gone but he is healthy.


Bobby will be home next week, from his father's house. We will be starting school the Monday after he gets back. From here on out we will have a schedule much like that of GISD since Chris will be in public school. That is ok with me. It works.

Roger's hours should be getting better at work. They have finished this project. I am so relieved. Our family misses him.

Bekah will be 3 tomarrow! Where has the last 3 years gone? We are going to take her out for dinner.

Sarah is 17 months old and still has her bottle, only for her it a pacifier. she doesn't care if it has something in in or not, she just needs it. We are starting to work on making it go away. At this stage I am always torn, do you ween them off or do you take it cold turkey? I have tried weening and that isn't seeming to work. So I am thinking cold turkey maybe? I hate being the mean mommy.

Yesturday we got all of our shopping done. We replaced all of Chris's clothes, His glasses and his Bible. For what ever reason none of these items came home from the treatment facility. It is a bum deal but that is life. I am just very thankful that I could come up with the finances to do that. It will be tight for the next couple of weeks, but we managed.

I am longing for a closer walk with the Lord. I pray all the time but mostly for the kids and for Roger. I hardly ever read my Bible. It is not a habbit I have ever gotten into. I have tried several times with no luck. I have read various parts of the Bible but not on a regular basis. I wonder how enriched my life would be if I read the Word daily.

I also feel disconnected at church. WE attend a wonderful church. I mostly don't go to class on WEdnesday nights, a lot of times I sit and visit with close friends or I sit in the van and read or listen to the radio. Sunday mornings are hard. I rush rush rush, to get everyone dressed and to the right classes, then I am tired and want a break. Roger insists I go to class, and he won't go without me. If I stand in the hallway to visit with other homeschool families, he feels he needs to be with me, yet is aggrevated when that means I don't go to class. We have switched classes for Sunday school. That was a good move for us. The class we were in before is people about our age, but they are just starting their families, and haveing older kids was difficult for us in there. Also we didn't really feel like we fit in. The class we are in now is older than me, but it fits us better. Alot of the boys friends parents are in there. It just feels better alll around. Sunday night we have a wonderful life group. They really have been my anchor this last 2 years. I feel disconnected but not sure how to reconnect. I long for a deeper walk with God and to be imersed in his word. Praying is easy, I do that all day long, it is just the reading and studying that I am struggling with. Please pray that I will find my way to study God's Word like I should.

Roger took Bek and went to the community sing along this evening. I stayed home, Chris didn't want to go and Sarah would not be able to sit through it. She is a very active toddler. I have been to enough group things to know that to take her would mean I would be in the lobby letting her play. So I opted to stay home. PLUS I am enjoying a slow day at home. Life has been so busy and so crazy lately that I needed a break! It seems that we have been on the run more than not lately. I had gotton used to being a homebody I miss it.

Tomarrow is promising to be another really busy day. Then by Tuesday things should settle down a bit.

Blessings
