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.
Happy Thursday Y’all! The weekend is almost here and for that I am VERY Thankful. It has been a long week, I have been struggling to get anything done. I feel overtired, overwhelmed, and under-caffeinated. Mr Wall has been gone all week and on his way home right now, I am Thankful that he...

Happy Thursday Y’all! Here we go again, bringing back the goodness that y’all have come to know and love…and I am hoping, miss. I looked back through my blog, and can’t believe that I never even posted a simple Thankful Thursday post after Owain’s surgery. How did that happen? How did I just loose...

Happy Thursday Y’all! Yikes, I am Thankful this day is over! The day itself was a good one, a wicked busy one though and I am exhausted from it! We came so close to finishing up E Nut’s homeschool for the year, but he fizzled out at the end of the year end review...

I have looked back over some of my posts from the past few days and they seem to be a bit rambly (if that is a word) and may or may not make any sense. Somehow I am am OK with that, lol. So in keeping up with tired rambling I need to share...

Tonight we managed to get the kids out the door after dinner for an evening walk, something that we haven’t...

Happy Thursday Y’all! Whew, I am most definitely thankful that today is over! I am not sure what has gotten into my kids the past couple of days, but they have been as difficult as they can be. Between all the sibling bickering and the tired crankiness because of getting up too early, I...

Happy Thursday Y’all! My kids were in rare form today. It was the type of day that I could not have predicted if I were a psychic. My morning started while Wee Nut played quietly in his room, the big kids were in the class room making paper bag puppets and Little Nut Nut...

Happy Thursday Y’all! I know the day is almost over, but I can’t let the day go without slowing down for long enough to brush all of stress and nonsense of the week away and share some Thankful Thoughts. Wing Nut had an appointment with his GI specialist today. Which was long over due....

Happy Thursday Y’all! I almost let the entire day come and go before I realized that today was Thursdays and I still didn’t post Thankful Thursday. It has been a hard week for me. Sometimes I let things get to me when they shouldn’t. Sometimes I need to step back and accept that I...

Happy Thursday Y’all! So I did something really stupid yesterday. I was in the middle of a phone call with the phone company, the kids kept coming in and asking me a million questions, even though the door was closed and I told them I was on the phone, leave me alone for a...

Happy Thursday Y’all! I am fairly certain that I have said the before…but in case you are wondering, it is NOT Friday. My kids are slightly confused because I told them this morning that it was Friday, but we have been corrected by Mr Wall Nut who insists that today is actually not Friday,...

In Owain's 4 short years, he has had 3 Open Heart Surgeries, and 1 surgery to place Pacemaker wires on both his upper and lower heart. He is looking at a lifetime of surgeries to replace the Pacemaker batteries. Hopefully that is all he will need, but we live our lives Praying for the Best while being Prepared for the Worst.
