I am not so burdened as this. This family has lost their 15 year old son to a seizure this morning. Please pray for them.
This sure puts things into perspective.

I’ve been feeling so burdened lately that it’s affecting my interactions with my children. I’m trying so hard to not make them a burden to me. They’re not. It’s my reaction to them. It’s not fair to them so I’ve been begging people for prayers. I’ve been praying. My friends have asked me to lean on them. I don’t know how.
Some of the burdens you all know about. Some are famiy related and I can’t mention because I don’t know who in my family reads this blog. I just know I’m struggling. Each. And. Every. Day.
So, if you have a moment, please say a prayer for me. Before I change my mind, I’m going to hit save.

The grandchildren in trouble at my parents’ house.

Inspired by Jennifer at S/V Mari Hal-O-Jen, I’m going to play with my camera. I have a Canon Rebel XT. I bought it after my film SLR and my Canon Elph went kaput within months of each other. I don’t know how to use all the features. I’m working on it. So, without a theme in mind, I’ll post some photos.
I don’t know what this flower is, it’s a weed and I pulled them all out after taking my photos.
The children are surrounded by laundry. There’s a laundry basket on the sofa near Sister which is why she’s lying there like that. The basket is there because I had clear the floor to vacuum this morning. Can you see the clothes behind the other three?

In our education. Not the general everyday stuff, but the wider climactic education. My youngest, Pumpkin, came up to me today with her little toy dog to tell me that "My baby is all warm and cozy in the snow." Well, it actually came out "My baby is all warm and tozy in the no." but I digress.
I don’t think my northern friends would agree.

On this the Solemnity of the Annunication, let’s rejoice with my friend (I hope she doesn’t mind me calling her that). Congratulations, dear Margaret. We’ll be praying with you.

I had planned on getting a lot accomplished this weekend, but I only had about 2 hours to myself. I spent most of that time cooking and preparing for the week ahead. I’m still not completely ready for the week, but then I’m never ready.
Tomorrow is a Little Flowers/Blue Knights day. I’m teaching the little Little Flowers about the virture of patience. Hmmm….not exactly my strong point. It should be interesting.
I’ve been potty training Pumpkin this past week. She’s made progress, but it’s more like a one step forward, two steps back kind of thing. She’s very responsible and will attempt to clean herself after her accidents, but I wish she’s just avoid those accidents. After one of them, I asked her where she should go potty. She responded with "In. The. Bath. Room." She spoke to me like she was the one teaching me. LOL! I don’t know where she came from.
We had started a Beatrix Potter unit this past week but we didn’t accomplish nearly as much as I would have liked. I’m hoping for a better week. Since I miscarried, I’ve been struggling to stay on task and get things done. I’m getting better bit by bit.
Next weekend, I plan on getting the garden taken care of. I think we’re done with the cold weather but don’t want to be too hasty (we did have snow in April last year).
We are also headed to Massachusetts early this summer for a wedding. I’m
we are insane to drive all the way from Texaslooking forward to meandering on the way back to Texas but will have to do a straight shot to Massachusetts. I’m going to post my route but not the dates to see if any of you can give me good, fun places to visit. I’ve been planning my route. I know for sure that after a few days in Massachusetts, we’ll be headed to Long Island where Ben’s aunt lives. Then we’ll be off to Washington DC, then to visit Dave’s gravesite. I’m also hoping to be able to meet some of my on-line friends if they are willing.Well, that’s it for now. It’s almost bedtime and almost time for my PBS show. Hope you all had a great weekend.

One of Ben’s very good friends is coming to visit. Actually, he’s arrived in Texas already and is driving up here as I type. My friends love Mr. D (he has an Italian last name that my children just cannot seem to pronounce) so they will probably be spending a lot of time together. Ben and Tom has stated I could do whatever I wanted. I think I’ll spend that time catching up on things like updating my typelists and adding pages (if I can figure out how to do that). I may even fiddle with the template and try to get a picture in the heading.
Stay tuned.
