~Tammy~: I like this. One drawback my group that migrated from iviillage had with bravenet (years ago) was they limited the number of posts one could make in a day- so we were unable to comment on one another's posts.
nola: Thanks!

Friday Has Arrived

We had a great therapy session yesterday. I decided it was easier to just print off my blog for the Therapist to read rather than try to relate it.  After she read it we talked about how amazing God is and how He is healing these children.   Then it was J's turn.   The first thing she announced was, "God came to our house on Sunday".  She then related the events much like what I had written to the therapist.  She shared how she wasn't afraid anymore.  How free she felt etc.    

She also told her something I did in WM to her. We have a checker that always knows us. So the kids love to tell her hi when we go in. J sorta got in her face and said, "Do you like my hair?" The typical "notice me" stuff. I told her that was uncalled for. We went on and I ask her how would it have looked if I had done that. She had this shocked look and said "Strange!". I pointed out she was almost an adult and needed to start considering stuff like that. Then she said, "But you want me to act like a kid." MN I think pointed out we want her to PLAY and be a kid. I also said you don't see these kids doing that type stuff. As we are walking and talking I ask her if she knows why she does stuff like this. She has no clue. I ask if she would like to know? She agrees. We are over in a quite section of the store. I face her and drape my arms around her shoulders so we are linked. Then I explain how no one ever noticed J for just being J. That every kid needs attention and to be noticed. How she learned to do stuff so at least SOME ONE would notice, even if it isn't the people that should be. I tell her she doesn't have to do these things to get attention now. She has family that will give her all the attention she needs. Then I just hug her. She hugs back, clings a minute and then we go back to shopping. I guess it made a big impression since she had to tell the therapist about it.

Today I may get my laundry soap done.  I think everyone had other things to do so no one is coming out.  Oh well it was more of an excuse than a need to have "help" to do laundry soap.  It takes 10 minutes and then we visit the rest of the time.

It seems I am in granny slow today.  I didn't get this posted before chore time so I am back after chores.  Eating a bowl of granola as I finish this up.  I hope to make it to chat some in the prayer time this morning.  http://www.ourprayer.org/chatrooms/  Come join us if you are led to Christian Chat.  We have a prayer time at 10 AM Central time and 8 pm .  It is wonderful!

Kids are doing various things toward their day. MN is feeding and talking to her goats.   The other three are either cooking or eating breakfast.  I have already been ask about 3 times when we will do the miquon math.   Seems at least one of them looks fwd to it. 

I need to go do my morning check to see if I can find SOS 6th grade and the SOS Texas History.   If I start looking now then maybe by the time I need it I will have found it at less than full price.
