In my life this week…
…my mother was admitted to the hospital and it really shook me up. Her more than me, of course! Her husband suffered a seizure while they were at the hospital. They live in Northern California and I’m in Northeast Ohio. My mom is now on blood pressure medication and her husband is on anti-seizure medication. They are home now and doing better.
My garden was looking a little sickly this week. The leaves were burned on some plants {the zucchini especially}. Deer ate the leaves off of my three bean plants 
I put netting around the entire garden in hopes of keeping critters out. Dh also sprayed repellent around it.
In our homeschool this week…
…Fox still is working on Algebra. Both are working on Spanish. Lee started the Lightning Literature. That’s it.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
…Lee had babysitting on Wednesday night so I drove her to that and hung out at the library. I worked on school scheduling. Fox had Young Marines; his dad took him to that {in his Cobra!}. Thursday we went to Hobby Lobby. Friday we went to a metropark {South Euclid Reservation} and hung out on the trails for an hour or two. Then we went to the library and I got a bunch of local fliers for activities to do this summer. We are going to back to the park {maybe a different one this time, not sure} and the library to pick up our game boards for the summer reading program {that includes teens and adults!!}.
…all the Cardinals I keep seeing. Rarely do I get a photo though.
…all seems to be going just fine.
Things I’m working on…
…same ol’.
I’m reading…
…I stopped reading the other books and am just focusing on pre-reading for school. If I don’t stop reading the other books then I won’t get it done and I don’t want to be caught unprepared. Also, 3 of the 4 books that I was reading for the Around the World challenge had inappropriate portions and not worth my reading.
I’m cooking…
…tonight it was hamburgers and bratwurst, on the grill done by dh. Yesterday it was turkey breast that was marinated in honey mustard sauce. I don’t recall what else we made this week. I didn’t do all the cooking and tomorrow is Lee’s night. I did make some sugarless cookies. They were …interesting. Fox made chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips. Those were yummy!
I’m grateful for…
…my mommy. Even though she is so far away, I’ve very grateful that I have a good relationship with her and can call her for whatever. A good car and a wonderful husband that can work on it 
I’m praying for…
…my mom. My sisters, Melissa and Lynn. My niece, Nissha. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Becky and Hannah, for travels to come visit us from Oregon.
A photo collage to share…
Things I’ve planted.
I’m linking up (a wee bit late!) with the following:
Praying for you and your mom. There's something about moms going to the hospital that seems twice as scary as almost anything else.
ReplyDeleteYes, there's just no other feeling like it- perhaps having a child have to go to the hospital would be close. Not a good feeling. I've very grateful for your prayers, thank you!
DeleteSomeone's vehicle just hit 100,000.... what an accomplishment! My van was just at 111,111 this week and everyone thought that was funny.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking!
Thank you for the prayers... and thank you for mentioning me Blossom. I wasn't so shook up until Jim had the seizure! Crapola! Stinking! However you want to express it... lol I'm on a ACE inhibitor and a calcium channel blocker... because one wouldn't control the blood pressure. I guess I am just getting old and falling apart! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyways again thank you!
Thinking of you, Blossom, and sending prayers. It's so hard to be separated geographically when a loved one is ill.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about you mom. I'm glad she's doing better. I love the cardinal pictures- so pretty!
