Our house (aka 2 BR apartment) has been a whirlwind of activity. We have had the kids here much of September and a good portion of October as well. When Limaris is home and feeling good, they are with her and when Ruby (Jonerik's other sister) is not working her kids usually stay with her - there is not pattern to scenario. Someone asked me today how we do what we do, and I just laughed. I really have no idea how, but it really does all work out.
-I finally bought and use a good old-fashioned calendar which is now filled and color coded!
-Noting ways to feed lots of people with little notice - keep cooked pasta on hand in the fridge...have more meat ready to thaw and cook-it can be stored for another meal if it turns out to be just the 2 of us and we have extra - I am always open to suggestions!
-My coffee supply is fully stocked =)
-I try to keep my Bible in the center of our house (the shelf in the kitchen)...and open!
-Prayer, prayer, singing, prayer, singing, and more prayer.
(I can usually gauge the level of happiness vs. stress in our home by the amount of singing going on... when things are going well our life is typically a musical)
Limaris has another test tomorrow that will help us know where things are at with her cancer. She will most likely go to the hospital again for treatment on Monday and will be in for about a week.
When the kids off from school recently, we went to one of our new favorite (very small) parks for a picnic lunch. It is settled right under one of our bridges and isn't too far from our home.
