Last night was Awana. It was much smoother than last week. I played jeopardy with them. I used information that we have gone over this year for the questions. I think the kids enjoyed it. I'll do it again toward the end if the year.

Xav has been doing ok not great, but at least we don't want to choke him every minute. Dani only wants boob. I can hardly get any solids in her. She is 9 1/2 months old, she should be eating food by now. Theresa is her normal clingy self. Sometimes it gets old. All she wants to do is snuggle up on your lap all day. I can't wait for better weather so we can get outside some. They redid the park on Rawlings and we can walk over to that one. Jacob already broke is ds. Not a bad thing as that is all the boy does. I have to force him to get up and move around. He is gaining weight from it. His pants aren't fitting anymore. Mike and Chris are doing well. Their grades are great. I pray they stay out of trouble.

Well I must go run some errands as we are out of milk and dog food.

Well thankfully the last couple of days have been better when it comes to Xav's behavior. Jacob knocked his DS off the entertainment center and broke the top screen. He hasn't even had it a month yet. I don't know when I'll be able to replace it.

The dogs are driving everyone nuts. Bailey is in heat again. We really have to get her fixed.

It was super cold today. We didn't go to church. Both girls have diahrea. Thought we would keep our germs to ourselves. No school tomorrow. Maybe we'll go to the library.

Awana was crazy last night. All the kids must have had sugar for supper! They couldn't keep their hands to themselves, half of the had to go pee during the night. Sometimes I wonder how these kids manage in school, maybe I should be wondering how their teachers manage to get through the day with them. There's always next week.

I framed the crossstitch that I made. It looks nice. I put it on Hannah's shelf. The cross stitch is of an angel holding a baby. Its all in pinks and I used a brick red frame. If I ever get my computer back, I attach a picture. I'm waiting to get some quilt batting so I can finish off the little quilt I made. I think it came out ok, so far anyway.

Xavier,7, has been in rare form lately. I don't know how he gets through the school day without problems. I worry that he is bipolar. It is exhausting. The screaming, throwing things, wailing, arguing. Some days I just can't take it. I don't know what to do. I try to protect him and guide him, but then he just keeps on and on. Ugh.

Well I'm off to see how the water in the crawl space is coming.

Welcome to my blog. To start off I will spend some time introducing the crew. I am married to Jeff and have been for nearly 15 years. We have seven children, six that run on earth and one waiting in the arms of Jesus. My oldest is almost 15 and the youngest is 9 months old. Since today is Tuesday, I have Awana tonight, so I need to get a lesson together. My ongoing project is getting the water out of our crawlspace. What a pain!
