I am Not as Strong as I appear. I enjoy weakness from time to time. We are a homeschooling, special needs family of 7. My 4th son has a Congenital Heart defect, and my oldest has ADHD. We like to find old things and make them new, so we bought a house that was in desperate need of repair, then we doubled the sized of it. This project is well over 9 years long, with still plenty to do, and has pushed my fear of heights over the limit too many times. The best part is I am still alive to talk about it! Some of my passions are my children, and making Jewelry. When life gets stressful (often times stress induced by children!) opening up my bins of beads to create something beautiful that will soon bring joy to someone else is all I need. That and chocolate. I am just hanging on by the seat of my pants. Stick around & let's get to know each other.

Thankful Thursday and Wing Nut’s Weigh-Day

April 28, 2011

Happy Thursday Y’all!

My parents are coming for a visit tomorrow so we can celebrate Owain’s 3rd  birthday this weekend. We are so excited and Thankful for the visit.

The kids go home late last night from E Nut’s baseball game and I forgot yesterday was Weighday for Wing Nut. If you remember last week, he didn’t gain any weight at all, which was a bit of a shock and disappointment. But at least he didn’t loose any weight. He has been on the periactin for just over a month and now that he has gained weight, he is starting to fill out, he looks like a different kid. We weighed him tonight, and before we did, I remembered to measure his height to make adjustments for his BMI. The good news is that he gained weight this past week! Almost 1 pound, and since he has grown 2 inches since he started the periactin, which is crazy, his BMI has changed enough that he is back to being underweight. While I am disappointed that he is back to being underweight because of his height, he gained almost a pound and he is back to gaining weight, and I am Thankful for that.

I am Thankful today is over.  It was a long day. With lots of almost 3 year old temper tantrums. The day is done, and I am happily on my way to get some sleep.

As always, I am Thankful for my happy, healthy, wild little beasties that run around my house all day long driving me crazy, I am Thankful that my husband has a job, we still have a roof over our heads and for our wonderfully supportive group of friends and family and all the ways they help us.

What are you Thankful for today?
