I can't really say why I haven't posted lately. Maybe it is stress related-again, I seem to withdrawal when under stress and sadly enough, I have been stressing even though I deeply want to rely on God to handle everything I am stressing about.
Okay, since I posted last, Jason and I took a trip to Kentucky to see my grandmother and other family members. It was a great trip. Jason hunted some, shot a deer, but another hunter shot it again and claimed it as his own. Jason was frustrated and annoyed, but got over it. I spent most of my time hanging out with my grandmother and not doing much at all. I did see some cousins from my father's side of the family. It was fun. On the way home, a rock managed to get through the grill of the truck and hit the condenser, thus making us loose antifreeze at a rapid pace. That of course means that we had to drive home with no air conditioner. It made for a fairly miserable trip home.
After arriving home, we met with another resident from a different house who had moved into our house while we were gone. I think AB will be a good addition overall to the house. The move came because of some negative decisions she had made and she continue to be very grateful to still be here. We also welcomed another new resident to our house. She is fifteen and a freshman. She had a rough start, but seems to want to be here and is probably just testing our limits and trying to figure out where she fits into the dynamics of the house. In case your are keeping count, this means we have 7 girls right now. AB is 17 (new resident to house), KR is 17 (we have had her for two and half years), PS is 16 (we have had her a year and half), LF is 16 (we have had her two years and half years), TT is 15 (new resident), MB is 11 (we have had her two and a half years) and CW is 9 (we have had her 7 months). Only one more girl is needed and we will have a full house, which is what I like to have.
I am currently is sitting on a rolling chair at my dining room desk typing this blog. This is not where usually sit to do, but I need the computer kept close since I will be sitting on this chair for the remainder of the day (by the way, it is 7:40 a.m.). Among the many things I am thankful for today, I am thankful that I have four girls home who are going to help me cook the massive meal we all have come to enjoy and desire on Thanksgiving. Otherwise, I don't know how I could possible get it all done since I managed to tear up my right ankle. I wish I had some really cool story to tell you about how I did it, but the truth of the matter is I was walking across the backward and stepped in a hole Monday night. Jason has been doing a wonderful job of taking care me and trying to make me stay off of my foot. That of coures is fairly difficult for me to do, but I am getting better at it. The girls have also been very helpful taking up the slack. They are willingly and cheerfully getting in the kitchen, cleaning up after me, serving me, driving me places-all in all my family is making me feel great even though I don't feel like I am doing what I should be doing as a wife and mom.
Okay, I am going to go cook breakfast for my family. I hope and pra all of you have a great Thanksgiving Day!
