Is there light at the end of the tunnel?

With all that's going on with the FIL and attending my aunts funeral, now we have to add a very sick three year old to the mix. Isaiah has thrown up no fewer than eight times in the last 24 hours and has had poop from his feet to his hair on more than one occasion! Yuck. My poor baby has the flu I fear!
Then Friday Trevor got sent the principals office twice for bad behavior at Kindergarten, this is the first time he has acted up in school! I received two letters in the mail today from his school, stating if he returns to the office once more before the 12th of Dec. he will lose recess privileges. The child is ADHD and needs his outdoor time. I have talked to him repeatedly but not sure if it's sinking in. He has had so much on his plate lately as the rest of us have had. It's funny how it affects kids also, when you don't think they understand what's going on. They really do! Lord help us!

Sheesh..I need a pity party..haha. Sorry if it sounds like I am so down and complaining, I am not really. Just venting so I don't implode..lol.

Living through trials

I have often heard the quote, "If he brings you to it, he will bring you through it!" I know God is helping us through our trials in life and if we have faith in him and believe that anything is possible, he will help us through even the roughest of times.

Although I know this in my heart, it is so hard sometimes to keep the faith and think that things will get better. Especially on days like this past Saturday night and Sunday morning. My father in law came home from the hospital on Thursday at noon after being there for a month with acute Pancreatitus. He has lost complete function of his pancreas and the illness shut down his kidneys. So he has to go three times a week for dialysis since they aren't functioning. Since the pancreas produces all your gastric enzymes and your bodies insulin, he has to take enzyme supplements before each meal and insulin shots at each meal to keep him going. It is a really bad situation. Well he was home 2 days when Saturday he got really ill and went into a diabetic coma and was taken by ambulance back to the hospital, he pulled through after a really rough night and just as we heard that they had stabilized him, the phone rang and it was my mom, her sister(my aunt)had just died of a massive heart attack. She was only 49 years old. Such tragedy. It is times like these when it is hard to see the light. How much can one person take and keep functioning? We still aren't sure my FIL will pull through and make it home again. I have to be strong, I have to keep faith in the Lord, but it is so hard sometimes!

Giving Thanks!

This year I want to give special thanks that my Father in Law is still here with us to celebrate another holiday with his family. He has been in the hospital for the last 29 days with acute Pancreatitis, after beating the odds, they only gave him a 25% chance of survival, he will come home from the hospital tomorrow on Thanksgiving day!! What a blessing to our family! It has been a very rough month for all of us!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and may your day be filled with the love and company of family and friends.

There is hope in the future!

I hope everyone was able to get out and vote. I know it made me feel as though I was doing something for my country that I love so much.

Even though last night had some disappointments, it was also filled with hope. Our country is in a terrible mess right now and we need someone running our country that can help us out of the whole we have been dug into. No matter who we voted for, or for what reasons. We all have to pull together and support our new president and pray that he can help our country recover.

It warmed my heart to watch McCain's speech last night as he asked us all to pull together and support Obama. He was so very genuine and so graceful. He had just lost a historic election, yet he didn't want to wallow in his disappointment, he encouraged us to believe in our future leader and band together to make the US a better place. It was an amazing speech! I see hope in our future!!

Political Jargin ahead, proceed with open mind!

I try not to express my political views or choices on here, as the subject can be so very touchy. But I was sent this video by a friend and it is just to good not to share. Please take four minutes and watch this. It might make a difference in our country!

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

We visited Granny Mae's pumpkin patch a couple of weekends ago and had such a blast. The kids really enjoyed the hay rack ride through Scarecrow meadow and the Haunted Forest they have. They also enjoyed the Corn maze and Baley Park(A park made from big round Hay Bales) and the train ride.

My Nephew Orion joined us for the fun, as well as my mom and dad. It was a very fun and full day. The kids each picked out their Pumpkins to take home to carve and have been begging to carve them every since, but we are waiting until right before Halloween to carve them, so they won't start shriveling up and looking icky before the big spook night.

Here are a few of the 100+ pics that were taken at the Patch.
