Wow what an excellent week we had for camp. Sun sun sun and no rain in sight the entire week. Sure do wish it was that way this week! It is raining here today, inside as well as outside! Who knew our shingles have gone missing off our bathroom roof!!!!! Our house is a 13/4 story and the bathroom is called a loft according the the appraisal we had done. It is one of those things that sticks out the side of the house like an extra box added on afterwards. We have to step up to get into it as well which can be really annoying when you are 9 months pregnant and have just climbed all 16 stairs (no landing) to get there and find one more step to kill your back and knees. NO I am not pregnant! I was refering to Zachary although.... the rumor flying around camp was that I am hee hee. Ahhhhhh I love rumors. Actually, though, we are planning on more. Since I was healed of my disease (being allergic to hubbykins in layman's terms, pemphigis in med terminology.) after baby #3, we had to try again right? How else would I know if I was really healed or not? Well it worked, I am still alive, baby was fine and we tried again and well.... we now are letting the Lord plan our family size. Sorry if that offends your beliefs, I am not trying to make anybody who does not believe the same way as we do, feel bad, but we feel this way and it really has nothing to do with our religion, but our personal convictions.

Anyway, off the soap box for now and back to normal life which for today means, hubby is gone to his new job where he cannot receive personal calls. I am used to checking in on him all day long due to his life-threatening sleep apnea and so I am feeling quite alone and the whole day has been wierd. I know he is not looking forward to this job, but I am. The fear I felt on a daily basis for him being on the highways with his sleeping at the wheel and the accidents etc, is gone today and once I get used to not being able to talk to him as often, I will be just fine. I also prayed his next job would be more physical as his weight gain is caused by the sleep apnea and also by his desk jobs as graphic artist and IT Tech before the courier job that had him sitting and driving over 600 km per day.

So bins on the bathroom floor are catching the drips, one could take a shower while using the facilities if you took the soap with ya! GRRRR

Zachary is doing much better today after his cold that turned into what I think may have been an asthma attack. Having it myself, I did for him what I would do for myself if I did not want my meds and it helped him. I sure hope he does not have it though! He is not his usual sunny self though and has cried alot today. Poor little dude!

Ember had a wood tick on her yesterday. I was really proud of myself for not freaking out! Maybe I am finally getting over that fear too!

Joshua's garden is coming along and right now he is cooking a special supper for his dad's first day of work. Hard to believe he will be 16 next month!

Kyla-Dawn will be 18 on the 27th, Jenaya 7 on the 19th and I will be 42 on the 20th. How time flies!

The twins are ready for kindergarten now so the pre-school screening said. They call it HIGH school though and said they wanted it right then! Of course we homeschool, but I am not quite THAT ready to start schooling them too! I bet Zachary will learn right along with them because he is really smart and extremely mature for his age.

Michael wants me to teach him piano again. He took a bit with an outside teacher while I was pregnant with the twinners, but never showed any more interest. I guess it is time to get back in the saddle there too! He is 13 and still remembers what he learned way back then!

Larissa 10 is starting to mature somewhat if the other older ones are not around. Mostly, she is still a kid who wants to play play play.

Jenaya is mature and very blunt. She just comes out there with whatever she wants to tell you and woe unto you if it is not what you wanted to hear lol.

Derwin and I have been married almost 19 years! It is hard to believe it has been that long! Seems like yesterday in a way. I always told everyone if we made it to 10 we would stay married cuz of friends and family who did not make the 10 yr mark. Guess I was right eh?

Wow am I in a writing mood today! Must be the weather!!

This year at camp, there were a lot of emotional/spiritual changes in my life and although they are not finished yet, God has really been doing things with me, all for the better of course! I am hoping also with some of the kids.

Levi from our youth, received the holyghost too the last night of camp. That was really exciting!
I am still dreaming and praying for my HOUSE. The one I want and am claiming by faith. It is impossible to get that right now, unless God intervenes so we shall see. If it is the one for us, it will happen right?

Well time to get to work on my accounting course and see what the kids are up to again. Hopefully those rooms are finished being cleaned or there will be some pretty unhappy kids when they find out no outside later!!! OOOOOOH mom is being SOOOO mean hee hee.
