Stuff and More Stuff

I have about 15 drafts waiting to be completed, published... but none of them feel right. So while I don't want to continue ignoring this blog, I can't quite put life into words right now. So bullet blog it is:

• Meagan is in the hospital with swine flu. She is on the upside of this flu and might come home tonight.
• We are in the precarious and frustrating stage of waiting for our kids to show symptoms so we can begin treatment and but still praying they escape it.
• They can't go to school until the incubation period is over and they are well.
  
• I want to go home and be with my sick baby- not the flu but some other virus that requires breathing treatments and snuggling with your mama.
• Jason loves his job at RLF and it feels like home now. I am not sure the moment that it became home but we realized a few weeks ago that we were entirely sold out to the vision and am very excited about being part of it.
• The Adams' have been to sick-child- hell and back and it has emotionally exhausting to hurt for DeDe. Being that she was stuck half way across the country, and I could do little but pray and worry, I am so very grateful that they escaped from the hopital this morning.
• We started a parenting Bible Study in our small group and it is so very strange to be one the oldest most expereinced parents there.
  
• For some reason the mere act of surviving in a house with 6 kids under 13 gives you status.
• I am need of a good laugh- the person who keeps me in stitches is not in the laughing mood...and I miss her.
  
• If only I had three wishes, I would make life so much better for the people we love. Only I am out of wishes and God doesn't seem to be listening either.
  
• Its hard to walk through your own personal valley, but even harder to watch someone you love go through their own. Especially when you have already been through the same valley but you can't give them the wisdom and experience you earned. They have to get through it themselves.
• I am in zumba withdrawls. Our instructor is on vacation and I can't wait to start again.
