Happy Birthday, Scott!

Today my husband is in the hospital with kidney stones. Right now we are getting ready to go downstairs to have them burst to bits by some fairly cool sound wave technology.

they are here…bye!

**********************************************************************************************************

He’s out, and doing better. He is in pain, but he’s dressed, walking around and ready to leave. Now for lunch and home!

For the last oh….6 weeks I’d dare say, it seems like there is an evil force that’s just trying to tear my life apart. If you haven’t been reading, or realized all that’s going on here’s a partial, and yes I do say partial, list.

• Everyone in our home had a virus…at least twice.
• 4 trips to the ER including 2nd and 3rd degree burn to my husband the night before our wedding, dehydrated kid from virus, and kidney stone
• Flower lady couldn’t do wedding flowers.
• Ring Lady…should be a separate post and may be in the future. (they got here a couple hours before the wedding)
• honeymoon consisting of our own bed with half the couple very medicated
• husband can’t remember most of our ceremony, and pics make him looked high…he was high and wrapped up.
• Friday before the wedding, my mom and her side of the family….disowned me. My wedding plans came to a hault0′s
• I had 7 family members at my wedding.
• Did I mention my husband was drugged…
• Several nights going to bed feeling neglected, while taking care of a sick husband.
• Money…or the lack there-of. My husband has been un-employed since November and is only drawing partial unemployment from the state of Alabama…yeah.
• Mom went into the hospital with kidney stones and severe kidney infection.
• Scott’s aunt went into the hospital with internal bleeding
• Mom’s 1st cousin and his wife (both in their 70′s) were in a terrible accident where both have around 25 broken bones and severe head trauma, not expected to make it thus far.
• Scott’s cousin was in a fight and pushed down and 60 ft. Cliff, hit his the back of his head and the side of his face on things…2 different ER’s for him.
• 3 Family members with threat’s of Cancer.
• Oh yeah, did I mention that my husband slept through most of our honeymoon because of the pain meds he was on? or the part where we had to sleep in separate beds because he was in the burn unit because of infection in his burn site?
• Seeing someone with 80% burn to their body…in one ER

How have I dealt with this you may say…well its not easy. I’ve cried, I’ve prayed, I’ve asked for prayer. I have faith in my God and my husband. I’ve slept when my husband can sleep, even if it is in the middle of the day, I slept when I knew the nurses were taking care of him, and I was too exhausted to know they were even in our room. I’ve gone without meals, without noticing only because there was too much going on to care.

There are a few things that I have learned and that is that God will never put you through anything that you can’t handle. A woman is like a tea bag, put her in hot water and she only gets stronger. Satan can’t get the best of me, because I’m the princess of the greatest King there ever was or will be. I have a great network of God-fearing friends all over the world that have prayed me through a lot of rough times, and they continue to pray for me daily.

I’m thankful to my family, my new husband especailly, my new inlaws, my God and all of my friends worldwide.

Nothing stopped our wedding when it very well could have, if we were not believers and so determined to get married. Nothing can tear our family apart because we are devoted to God and each other. It may be hard, but its nothing that faith and Prayer will not get us through.

I’ve not been happy having my kids in public school since day one. This morning takes the cake.

On Friday, my son came home with a bite mark on his wrist. I asked what was wrong and he told me the story. The other little boy wanted something that he had, and bit him. I don’t mean a pre-schooler. I mean the 10year old football prodigy in his 4th grade class.

My son is a screamer. If you tickle him, hold him down, thump him he screams and squeals. You can hear him all over the place.

I sent pictures of my childs arm, and the account of the inccident to the school by email Friday afternoon.

I received a reply. Of course I was called by the wrong last name. That ticks me off. My ex and I were never married, and the vice principal knows that. My name was at the bottom of my original email also. But past that I was told that my son never screamed, asked for help, and no other kids were involved (aka. pulled the biting kid off of my son)

If I bit you, would you scream? If you bit me, I’m gonna scream and more, especially if you are laying on top of me. I wouldn’t ask you to stop, you stop and things would be ok until my mother saw the mark on my arm nearly 4 hours later.

Where was the PE coach, I have no idea. Since my son didn’t scream, he didn’t know anything was going on. Hmmm…. Come to find out our school has a new vice principal…the PE coach. I never knew it, and I’m sure the rest of the parents in the school don’t know it…not all of them, not the majority.

The biting child also happens to be the grandson of a very important person on the School Staff, who’s office is within feet of the principal and vice principals’ offices. Hmm…

I’ve done homeschool before. I’m not convinced that I can handle all three of my kids every day for school, but I’m getting more and more convinced every day that it is my best option for the future. Please pray that I find an answer.
