I honestly feel that way. Things are crazy. So both the girls are sick. Terra has pnemonia and LeAnn has Bronchitis. I have a question...how much steriods can two little girls weighing no more than 33 pounds take? Seems like we've been on and off, on and off, on and off these steriods for well.....almost 7 years. Just weird to me. Every time I hope they really will increase their appetite and it never happens anymore. It happened a couple of times but not in a while. O well.
Good news (I guess) is that we are having an appointment with an asthma specialist at UVA being set up for us. Dr. Albers said it could take months to actually get the appointment, but at least we are heading in that direction. Dr. ALbers agreed with me that it was time to try to do something more.
Both girls are still kinda out of it. They sleep alot and I just need them to get better before next week. We have one more week of summer then school starts FOR US ALL. I really don't want them to miss as much school as they did last year. And I have 3 pretty difficult classes this semester and am not going to be able to miss as much (hopefully no) school time at all.
I did drop a class. I did so so that I may take 16 weeks to go through Beth Moore's Breaking Free Bible study. If anyone has done her studies before you know that there are 5 lessons a week that require about 45 minutes each to complete. Then you have 16 DVD sessions, at 50-60 minutes each to watch each week. That's like a college course with the homework and study time. Big sis, (my pastor's wife who is my Big sis) really has adviced I go through this. I've heard it going to be a tough one. But one Debby feels I really need to go through to help with the depression and anxiety. Please partner with me in prayer that this study will change me and really help. Drugs are great! But I know too that there's somethings that run deeper that no drug can reach. And only God Himself can cure. Should we give Him the room to do so.
I don't know about the weather where all you guys live...but here it was BEAUTIFUL today. High was like 78. PERFECT in my eyes. Cloud cover to keep the sun from being too hot. I went for a walk tonight (not excerise walk...just clearing the head walk) and could have stayed out there all night. These are the days when living in Virginia...is SO worth it. Agan if someone could just build me a huge body of water in the middle of little ol Lynchburg, I will never want for any change of scenery. But it seems Dr. Falwell did all the land improvement around here and with him home with Lord, I just don't see my body of water appearing any time soon.
Anyway, it was very nice here. Except, I made the mistake of going to Target today. I know mistake and Target are not normally two words in the same sentence from me. But you must understand. ALL the college students and their parents arrived today. See in a big city like Jacksonville, college students returning is not that big of a deal. You have what 20 Targets, and probably 40 Walmarts. Well here, we have ONE Target and ONE near by Walmart. You can drive 10 minutes one way and get to another and 15 minutes another way and yet another. But we folk around here are NOT use to driving more than 10 minutes to get anywhere. Your Jacksonville peeps drive 10 minutes just for ice cream.
We made it through Target though. The bad part is you get to watch the OVER BEARING parents that say "No you don't want to get that, you want to get this." "You want to make sure everything matches." Then you have the spolied kids that have daddy driving one buddy FULL, mom driving another buddy FULL and she pulls one from behind while the pushing one in front FULL.... So funny actually. I didn't get any of that. I got what little I got IN Jacksonville. Was unloaded, handed about $100 dollars and left at the dorm. No car, nothing. Things are done different these days. But then again I guess too it depends if you have a parent that actually wants to make sure their child is settled in, has everything and is ok before heading the 600 miles back home. O to know what I know now. I actually probably would have gone to UF had I known what I know now. The I would not have the most AH-MAZ-ING husband and AWESOME girls in the world. So...let the cards stay where they fell. I'm good.
Well look I'm trying to finish Grey's Anatomy Season Three before school starts. I watched ALL three seasons this summer. Will not be able to watch any of season four due to school....I'm sure....but that's life.
OMG SO STOKED that Pre season NFL has started. Anyone with me? I LOVE my football. Tomorrow nite....Carolina at Phili. NO phone calls please.
That's it from the brain of Candy for today. No pics sorry.
