And one delivery of diapers via UPS........

Welcome to my life.....do you know NOW why I am crazy?????

 

 

This is my NORMAL Monday minus the braces fittings and alarm company......  WHEW!!

 

 

This is a picture of Sarah having a plaster made of her feet.  Her PT was holding her. 

Sam was sitting on my lap just a few feet away.  We never know exactly what he sees/understands BUT he got so upset that he broke out in HIVES!!!!   I guess he thought he was NEXT!  I went to stand up and as I was getting up, I moved him towards them and he shrunk back.  We couldn't help but laugh at him.  I kept telling him it was ok, no braces for him!

 

We tried braces for him when he was about two and he became hysterical.  I only got ONE brace on ONE foot after about 30 minutes of fighting him and I absolutely gave up and threw the braces away.  There was no way I was going to upset him like that daily.  Sam was so sickly & tactile  defensive...it just was not going to happen!   He learned to walk completely normal without braces.  The difference with Sarah is we are at a point where she is not improving.  IF these can help her, it might make the difference in whether she ever walks alone. 

 

Sarah is not as defensive about touch as Sam was.  He didn't really wear shoes until he was 8 years old.  Even if it was cold, he could not handle them touching his feet.  I was so happy when he started wearing them!

 

Selah got fitted again too.  Since the hip surgery, she is so much stiffer.  We can't bend her knees hardly at all.  She is getting knee braces and we have her scheduled for Botox shots to try and get the knees back where they were before surgery.  I've been worried about it but wasn't sure that it was a battle that was worth fighting.  We don't ever want to cause her needless pain, just because of how something may look.  But her PT assured me that it would only get worse and would begin to cause her pain and other problems.  So our plan is to get the knee braces to start having a slight pressure on the knees as much as possible to get them to bend.  Then we are on a cancellation/call for the Botox shots so we can get in sooner than our appointment.   

 

Selah also got fitted for a different kind of hand brace.  She tends to clutch her hands and bring her thumbs in too tight which can also end up hurting her in the long run. 

 

Here's a sweet picture of Selah asleep last night.  She looked so peaceful and relaxed. 

 

 

 

Please pray that the Druz Orphange will get the clearance to start on the well this week.  There is always so much red tape in Ukraine to get through.  They have someone to do it for them, just got to get all of the permits/permissions and they want to hurry.  Please pray that God will work a miracle and that they will get the signatures they need very quickly!!!!!

 



 

Grateful Heart!

My heart is thrilled! Got a call from a friend Mike,  and his church took up an offering today for the orphans of Druz Ukraine. His offering made up the difference in Life2Orphans, Inc., goal and they have now fully met the goal of $3000 for food/diapers and the $2000 for the well. Mike's church will also be participating in the future fundraising for the orphanage. Sometimes we say little Christian phrases, and we mean them but it's not "alive" to us. But GOD IS FAITHFUL AND HE IS A FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS" is very alive to me tonight! My eyes are filled with grateful tears even as I write this tonight!

Thank you to all who participated, I really mean it when I say this is the nicest birthday present ever:)   (Now Shad is happy but he also told me he can't wait to open his presents LOL)  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday, 25 years ago, I walked into the Talbot House Homeless Shelter to apply for the job of assistant director.  I didn't know that in one month, I'd marry the director!!!  It amazes me how everything came together for us to meet each other.  I look back over the paths of our lives and it is incredible how God worked everything out. 

We haven't had the "perfect marriage" we've had our ups and downs but the last decade has really been what I imagined marriage to be.  I'm so thankful for the man God gave me & that He helped us work out problems & become the couple He meant for us to become.  I am so grateful that we stuck it out through the hard times & now when we have the most stresses on us, we are the happiest together.  Does that make sense? 

We're still not perfect but we are perfect for each other.  We've forged a bond over the past quarter of a decade, that is so strong.  We are a team & that is what I wanted from the beginning. 

It's funny in the first ten years or so of our marriage, many people tried to come between us.  The worst was from other people in the ministry.  They'd try to pit us against each other, can't tell you how many times that happened.  It was unnerving.  But that is one thing we watch for now, we don't allow anything to come between us.  It's so good to look back and see the journey we've taken together since that first meeting so long ago.  God has been good to us and He has been faithful.

So tonight I have a grateful heart for the goal being met for the Druz Orphanage and for 25 years of sharing life with Jon.  (our wedding anniversary is next month- we got married after knowing each other for only ONE month!)



 =======================================================================


Oh let me tell you the FUNNIEST dream I had......  this shows how much the orphanage is on my mind.....

Last night I dreamed that the orphans & their caregivers had moved into our house/church.  AND we were having some type of ministerial meeting and the ministers were NOT happy with the orphans being there.  THEN I found out I was pregnant with triplets!  ALL three GIRLS!   In the dream, I was gratefully telling everyone I was going on bed rest LOL    

All I can say is I had a tuna sandwich before bed LOL!!!!!!!

Kids.....

 

Here is George, our wonderful friend in Ukraine, giving the assistant director, Olga, the money for the well!!!!!   Life2Orphans went ahead and sent in to them the money based on what we knew was coming in directly to me. I'll be sending a check to them on Monday!  We may have a bit more come in over the weekend!     I want to thank my friend in Virginia for the check of $310 that came in today as she promised!   We went OVER the $2000 mark by about $100 or a bit more.  That is all going to Life2Orphans to help buy food for the  children. 

 

Please pray that they will be able to start on the well THIS coming week!!!  Pray that nothing goes wrong and they will have quick success.  We are hoping for pictures soon!!! 

 

Just so you know, Olga's family has moved to Kiev to safety.....she is staying with the children at the orphanage...that is love....  pray for all of their safety!

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Being a parent has some wonderful moments....but there are times that are not too wonderful also.....

Last week Shad got in trouble at school for not scoring correctly his daily work, this is like a felony charge at his school!  LOL  So we put him on total restriction at school & home.  TOTAL!  This week we talked to him about the "possibility" of earning some of his privileges back...

Then yesterday he was caught playing the Xbox (which was bad enough) and he completely lied to me about it (the worse sin).  The Xbox is in my room right now, he hooked it up, changed the channel on the TV and had all the remotes out (that I'd put up)  So when confronted, he said Steve did it....Steve who had left at 8:30 am for work......plus I'd been watching tv as I cleaned my closet out earlier.    So he had to do chores, and went to bed as soon as supper was over, no movie night for him.  (BTW Jurassic Park was a good movie!  I JUMPED several times, can't imagine seeing in the the big theater!)

THEN today while I was gone and Jon was with the little kids, he went back in my room and was caught watching tv.......

Sooooo  off to weed some sections of the yard and do chores.  I'd have him weed the gardens but the weeds are so high, I'm too worried about snakes for him to be in there.  Darn it!

I'm at a loss with him!  We've tried so many different things to thwart this manipulative/lying behavior.  I guess my yard will end up the nicest one if he does not change!  He is not rebellious nor does he talk back, and he'll do the work but I'd rather him just behave and not get punished.

Last year he was going through a time like he has been lately and he remarked to one of our nurses "I don't know why ANYONE wants to smoke weed, I don't even like pulling weeds!"   We almost died laughing.  But he is getting a lot of "weed time" right now. And plenty of rest too, as soon as supper is over, he'll be in bed! 

If he doesn't see the errors of his way, I may start hiring him out for weeding jobs!!!!!!

==========================================================================
Steve volunteered at Habitat today even tho we have all our hours in.  I love that he is such a good worker & enjoys being there!  It's really like a family to work together in their thrift store. 

I went by there, hoping to go to lunch with him but he dissed me and went with a friend.  So I took my tuna sandwich from Subway (no one else eats tuna in our house so I don't bother) and sat all alone in the break room and ate......did I say ALL alone?  It was like a gourmet meal !!!!!!!   I did pick up some books:)  Nothing like thrift store books!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sarah likes standing in our living room window in the afternoon.  She loves the sunlight, we LOVE that she is standing!!!  She is also starting to stand unassisted for a few seconds at a time, just like a baby does before they start walking.  I had just about given up on her walking without a walker....now I'm getting hopeful again.  She is being fitted for ankle braces on Monday.

I think I shared that the neurologist diagnosed her with CP (Cerebral palsy )   HOWEVER the orthopedist disagrees 100% because all her reflexes are perfect.   He told me & also called our Physical Therapist to say NOTHING makes sense to him about Sarah.  By examining, it would seem she'd be able to walk normally.  His conclusion seems to be it's just because she was kept bed ridden for so long. 

I'd be so happy if Sarah could walk.  She really is my best little friend and loves to be with me always.  I hate not taking her places with me, but honestly, carrying her, getting out the stroller it's too hard sometimes.   She doesn't understand how to "help" you pick her up.  Because she can't see & her understanding is limited, she seldom understands how to move her body to help and she is dead weight!  I try not to complain but my body is so sore all the time, that it is hard to take her out alone.   If she could walk, she could go everywhere with me!  She is the happiest and easiest child outside of the whole movement thing! 

Since I've started back walking consistently, some of the soreness has gone away.  The pain in my right side that I've had for years is almost gone again.  I only have it when I'm not exercising!  Talk about a "thorn in my side" LOL  I also use a U shaped travel pillow to sleep and that has helped my neck some, I can turn it now to some degree.  I'm so thankful we have a back up camera on our van, it helps me not to have to turn as much. 

But one thing is for sure, the more I move, the less pain I have! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well since I've given an update on everyone else, Selah is doing fine.  No issues, she is at a great place for her.  If her heartrates stay normal, no storming, no sad faces....I'm happy!

Since I met with the behavioral therapist last week, I've put Sam back on his schedule and added outside time in the morning.  Before he was not taking naps every day because of the various teachers who come in to work with him.  He just can not handle not having a nap. 

Also we had been taking him outside when he would get "upset" and then worried we were creating a monster!  We don't think he'd associated bad/upset behavior with going outside (which he loves) YET but ......   so what we are doing, is taking him outside in the mornings for an hour.  We are "making" him walk around the property three times then he gets 30 minutes on the swing. We have had a much happier Sam!

So his schedule is ....
Change clothes
breakfast
play in room
an hour outside
lunch
play in room
nap
play inside or maybe back outside
supper
play in room
bath
bedtime routine.....

This (beside the set outside times) has just about always been his schedule.  But life has been odd for us for awhile.  We had gotten him back on schedule and then school started and I've kept him up in the afternoon for the teachers and that just screws up everything.  I'd actually been trying to not give him a nap for some weeks thinking it would be better for him to be used to be up.  But I think I was WRONG to do that!!!!    We are seeing a much happier Sam.  I think the one hour out in the morning helps him get all the energy out.  We did this before for quite awhile but got inconsistent because life has a way of trying to screw up schedules but this boy needs a schedule! 

So Steve is taking him on the mornings he can take him, Jon takes him on the weekend and I get the other days.  So far it's been well worth it!

Well hope you all are having a great weekend!!!!!!

A Little Jurassic Park

YEAH!  got $20 in the mail from a friend in Winter Haven Florida:)  Since we are OVER our goal for the well, that is going to finish out Life2Orphans goal of $3000 for food/diapers.  Now they only need $139 to have their goal of $3000 met.  We are some happy and grateful people to have met these goals to help the children and staff in Druz Ukraine!!!!!   Truly this is the NICEST present I've ever been given for my birthday!!!!!   Shad is happy too! 

=======================================================================
Today at 5 pm, the Clanton family had all of their 400 sweat equity hours in for Habitat for Humanity.   Steve did the majority of the hours and we appreciate his help so very much.  There were two ladies who also did some hours for us and that was a huge help!   Once all the paperwork is done, Steve will start working for HH as a real employee.  It will be his first real job and he already has plenty of experience working there.  I'm so happy for him, before we even had met the staff, I just had a feeling that with Steve volunteering there, that it would become a job for him.  We are happy!  We were told that they would start laying the foundation THIS month!!!!!  Can't wait!

=========================================================================
Y'all know I love to read, but I generally like mysteries and do not like science fiction at all.  Steve bought Jurassic  Park 1 & 2 at the thrift store & one day when I had nothing to read I read it.  I usually don't like books like that but it was really good.  I don't like sci-fi movies either but after reading Jurassic Park, we are going to watch it tonight.  The boys like all those kinds of movies and I've been in the room while they've been playing but didn't really pay attention to them.  If there is a movie I don't like, I just sit and read while they watch it. 

If a movie came out in the mid 80's, chances are I did NOT see it when it came out.  When I was in college we had to sign a paper saying we would not go to movies.  I grew up not being allowed to go to movies.  It's funny cause my best friend's dad, owned the movie theater LOL!!!   When I was in high school I went to see my first movie "Blue Lagoon"  I was pretty sure the either the devil would pop out of the screen or the Second Coming would take place.....LOL  Neither happened! 

Really until Steve was 3 or 4 years old, I didn't go to movies much.  Once he got old enough, we hit them all!  Movies are such a treat to me and special.  I love the big screen and the popcorn!   Of course my favorite movies are funny ones like Madea Movies.  I did go with Steve to see a Zombie movie at a late night showing and was petrified on the way home.  It was such fun:)  Anyhow I'm looking forward to watching JP....a few years after its release LOL

========================================================================

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!!!

Thoughts on 9/11

 

 

 

 

Hopefully you can see the pictures above of our dog, Brownie.  She is the ONLY chocolate Lab in the world that absolutely hates water!  She will walk around a puddle.  Once a friend kept her for us and he threw a ball (she loves balls) into his small lake & he ended up having to go get it himself LOL!   She is an outside dog and a wonderful dog in every way but that & she has always peed on herself some.  We've had her looked at, have no real reason but even when she was younger she'd pee a lot.  So she hates water and pees.....she smells horrible sometimes.  So yesterday after I'd conquered my 75 mile walking goal, I thought it was time to give her a bath before I took one.  I got the soap, water hose and VINAGAR ready.   Then I tricked her a bit with the ball & got her in position.  She is still close to 100 pounds so I have to get her in place before I sit on her.  It's not really a job to do by yourself but Steve was in the house with the little ones.   We fought and fought, both of my shoes got knocked off and all of a sudden I could tell my shorts were caught on something.  If I let go of her she'd run and I'd never finish BUT if I didn't get my shorts up......   BTW my shorts are "special running shorts"  which means they have built in underwear....AND it was ALL coming off of me!  

Somehow I managed to get them up and finish giving her a bath without disgracing the family.  It's a good thing we live out in the country!  I finished her off with a rinse of vinegar which is supposed to keep her cleaner, I don't know about that but she smells like a "salt & vinegar" chip now!   Today she got her flea meds and heartworm meds.  I'm done with that for awhile!  Anyhow I thought you'd get a good laugh at this story.  I surely did ONCE I was done!

I love this picture of Jon & me back in the 90's.  We were on Liberty Island and got this great picture of the Twin Towers in the background.  Living in NYC, the towers were what I looked for when I'd come out of the subways, I could get my bearings, knowing they'd be to the south.  They were such a symbol of NYC.....9/11 was such an awful day for this country, we can never forget the men & women who died that day in NYC, DC & in a field in Pennsylvania.....such stories.....


Today I kept Shad home from school.  We are not afraid of life but we are cautious enough to have some plans.  Last night we were discussing our family's plans in case of some nationwide emergency.  As we talked longer, I just decided to keep Shad home.  He is basically a year ahead and had his books with him anyhow so he could work from home.  We do have some things in place for our family should something serious ever happen whether natural or man made.    I grew up in a family that was very self sufficient.  Our family basically grew probably 99% of their foods/meats.  We'd have a hog killing every few months, cane grinding (cane sugar and syrup)  all the men hunted and fished.  There were few things that had to be bought from the store.  My aunt & uncle, as well as their siblings  had lived through WWI, the Great Depression & WWII, those folks knew how to survive.  So that training is in me. 

The big eye opener for me was the summer of 2004.  We were hit directly by three hurricanes and I was really only prepared for the second one.  The first one totally caught us off guard.  Sam was a few months old & we were in the middle of moving, rough time!   The second one, we were in our new home at the prison and somewhat prepared.  The third one came out of no where, I hadn't been paying attention to the news and we were totally unprepared and were without electricity, phone for over a week!  We were stuck in Polk City the small town we lived on the outskirts of for several days as trees were down on the roads.  There were no working gas stations in town, no way to get gas, food or money out.  It was UNREAL to stand in line for ice & water!!!!!!!!     I do not ever want to be in that situation again!  With a hurricane, there is often time to prepare (although I was not very prepared at all)  but in many other situations, there is little time to prepare. 

I hope we are spared any hard times but I'd advise everyone to at least follow the government's guidelines to have food, water, supplies, meds, stocked up and to have a family plan. 

Someone quoted a bible verse to me last night on FB about not worrying.  I said in response that I'm going to be prepared and if someone else isn't don't come looking for something from me LOL.   The bible has several stories of God telling people to prepare for coming calamites, it also speaks in Proverbs several times about being prepared.

I think the older generation had been through things and they knew the value of being self sufficient.  I think that is something we younger folks need to learn, and not expect someone like the government to be there to save us.  We are not as prepared as we should be for such a large family but I want my kids to know how to do basic things like gardening, self defense, & common sense.   This is something we've been working on for a few years now.

One thing we did was put in a working hand pump well.  Since we are out in the country, we have a deep well.  The big pump will only work with electricity.  So we put in the hand pump so we can have water no matter what.  That was one thing we learned from our hurricane experience.   It relieves my mind to know we'd have water.  (that was probably what really made me adamant to fund the well for orphans!!!) 

There are a lot of things people can do to make themselves more self reliant.  There are common sense things people can do also.  I encourage you to think how you can be more self sufficient. 

Goal Met!!!!!

I've got to start this blog with a big THANKS to Carol from Virginia that sent in the remaining $310!!!!   The well is paid for!!!!    Actually with a payment that was sent in directly to Life2Orphans by Shelly we are over a little bit!!!!!!  So anything extra goes to Life2Orphans goal of $3000 for food/diapers etc....   L2O is only about $160 from completing their goal.  Since August 26, we have been working to raise the $2000 for the well and the $3000 for the food/diapers and are less than $200 from it all being raised.  Megan (the director of L2O) and I talked today and we are so very grateful for everyone's generosity!!!   Thank you for being a part of something that means so much to these kids.  I'm praying that that well will be there to bless the orphans for as long as it is needed.  I believe it will help many.  Water is so important.  My heart is overjoyed tonight!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This morning started with me walking....since the end of July I have walked 75 miles on the cardiac track at our hospital.  I was so happy to reach that goal this morning:)  Believe me I was telling all my walking buddies about it as I passed them.  We have a "club" of sorts.  There are about 10 of us who walk around the same time.  I walk one way and most everyone walks the track the other way LOL.  I think the way I walk it is more challenging as there are longer uphill parts.  Anyhow we all speak but no one really knows each other by name.  It's a good friendly group.  One of my besties used to walk with me till she started teaching now I walk alone but I still walk!!!!

 

Then I got home and we had one of Sarah's teachers, then Steve left for college.  Sam decided he wanted to be with me alllllllllll day long.  And if he wasn't with me, he was getting into trouble.  UNFORTUNATELY he has learned to open and close doors.  So he opened my bedroom door, got my deodorant and some perfume out...ATE some of the deodorant  & spilled my favorite perfume, Red Door, while I was feeding Sarah...   Thankful I use an organic deodorant the Tom's brand (we also use that toothpaste) so when I called, there was no cause for alarm. 

 

Steve also went to a college Christian club after classes and then picked up Shad for me.  By the time they got home, I was spent!  Plus I had woken up with a pounding PMS headache.  I've had it since yesterday and just was not up to coping with Sam getting into everything. 

 

Yesterday we met with a behavioral therapist, to learn some strategies to help Sam cope with things.   She advised me to "catch him in the act" doing good and to praise him.  She admitted when he is fired up, like he was yesterday with her, it is hard.  Her idea is to give 4 positives  for every negative..... So I really tried today LOL    Sam is very scheduled oriented and there are things he will behave for like sitting in church, he behaves great 99% of the time.  On the FRONT row.....where everyone can see ....he still acts good most of the time.  But there are other times when he just can't handle things.  We have strategies that help him cope but they are things that inconveniences us.....like taking him outside to swing.  He needs/craves that kind of movement, but it is not always something I can do for him.  Like late yesterday he would have been very happy to go out but I was by myself, cooking supper and Sarah was in the living room and it was HOT outside!  So we need to work on helping him calm himself down with smaller treats, even just a word of praise.  I don't' know if it will be possible but I hope so!

 

He has not been self injuring his pointer fingers by biting as much nor has he been pushing at his forehead with his knuckles.  We actually changed his meds to the same anxiety pill I was given that is only taken when needed.  I actually gave him a dose on Monday, it had been a couple of months since he'd had one but this week, he has been "on a tear"! 

 

Sarah also wanted Mommy today.  I can't sit down in the living room, no matter how quiet I am, if she notices me she comes with her little hop/crawl over to sit on my lap and there she will remain as long as I'm sitting down LOL   She did not like sharing lap time with Sam and vice/versa!   Don't know if you can see these pictures the nurse snapped for me but they are cute, they are not showing for me but may after I publish this blog. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope all is well with all of you!

Thanks again for all the help!!!!!!!!!!!!    

Urgent!! Please read! The plight of the orphans in pictures

Been running a lot yesterday and today.  Jumped on FB to catch up with my friends and I see these pictures from Druz.  My heart literally aches....Oh God my girls would be there now had we not gotten them....Children I personally know are there, and its so hard.   This man is working to help out there too. 

Please pray for these servants of God!

This is the translation of the post...
Sergey Kosyak, a pastor from Donetsk who, literally, holds a prayer marathon in Donetsk for more than 6 months by now, who's been organizing evacuation of people from Torez, Shakhtersk, Gorlovka, Donetsk, etc. in most stressful hours, whose team, facing daily dangers of living in a war zone, walk 10 km on foot, daily, just to deliver medicines to people in Gorlovka, who, for various reasons, couldn't leave the town (the major reason - people are elderly, sick, trapped in their homes without food, gas, electricity, water, no access to healthcare). It's his team that evacuated 210(!) orphans to Druzhkovka. 14 team members have already been in captivity, beaten, humiliated. I trust him absolutely, and his reports, first-hand, about what's going on in the war zone. An abstract about Druzhkovka: "We continue our patronage over Druzhkovka orphanage, to which we evacuated 210 children. The need there is just huge, we've bought yet another batch of diapers and a food processor (kitchen machine). Unfortunately, we still lack funds to buy folding beds, and children still sleep on mattrеsses on the flow in the overcrowded building. While now, in warm weather, it's more or less bearable, I have no idea how we will manage later.."


These pictures are from last week......

 

 

 

this group brought in mixers so the kids who can't chew (like my Sarah) can have their food pureed.   This picture makes me want to cry, I guess because it makes me think that if Sarah was there, someone did something that would have helped her. 

 

my heart just goes out to them

 

 

Oh God help them!

 

 

what will they do?

 

 

I think this is the girl we sponsor...its hard to tell

 

 

 

 

 

thank God for these men!  See the water bottles brought in???   Soon they will have a well!

 

 

I know the little girl standing

At first I didn't know why these next three pictures were taken.  I wondered if they'd done some work on the windows....THEN I looked closer....bullet holes.....Oh God.....
