Hello All,
I haven't really posted very much lately because , honestly, I am tired of writing about myself..
There's been a lot going on in our home. It's been a bit crazy since we got home from our trip. Our house was completely flooded when we got home. Floors are torn up, bathrooms had to ripped out, dust and drywall everywhere. It's all a bit overwhelming. Rick and I are keeping it in perspective though I think.
Rick's a bit fried, mentally , with running the company and then having to take care of all of this. I'm not much help when it comes to the physical work. We got home from church last week, both of us ready to tear out the bathrooms and I came down with a touch of food poisoning, then got a head cold. I am starting to feel better.
I felt the cold claws of depression starting to sink into the back of my neck but so far have been able to shrug it off. I would appreciate prayers for our family.
Onn the bright side...new floors and new bathrooms and such! Should be nice.
I am also thinking abut homeschooling Charlie next year for eigth grade. He is having a difficult time in middle school, so I think I may try this at least for next year to get him up to speed and maybe build up his confidence a bit. Prayers for that also if you think a bout it, because I am not a patient person when it comes to school work, or an organized person as far as that issue goes.
Another positive is that Sarah and I will be going up to Maine to spend most of the summer with my Mom. I love her so much. It's going to be wonderful. The guys will be down here but wil come up to visit once or twice. I am so thankful to be healthy this summer, have hair and energy. I have started exercising and feel better about my body. It's a bit torn up but it's God's so I am not ashamed of my scars anymore.
I am thinking that our home being refurbed is going to be just the beginning of a new life for us all.
I am excited to see what God has planned.
I have been a little dismayed about what is going on politically lately, and don't mind any discussions about it. That's all I'll say about that.
Jimmy got his learner's permit, very excited for him, very scared for all of you.
Well, only a few more weeks of school and then freedom. Can't wait.
Love to you all.
Joann ,<><
