  • The grass withers,

    The flowers fade

    But the word of our Lord stands forever.

    Exhausted tonight.  Awards night for Awana, so that is done.  But baton is back in full swing.  We have a parade that the kids will be in this weekend, as well as Mothers Day.

    Next week is Misoula Childrens theater, so the kids will *not* be doing baton.  I felt terrible opting out, but we've been planning on doing it since last year.  So *shrugs*

    Kids are doing well remembering the routines, which is good considering how long its been since they worked with the coach.

    Samuel has been really struggling with my dad being gone.  Tonight I finally took the time to talk to him a bit.  I told him it was okay to be sad, and mad.  It seemed to release some of the frustration from him.  Hopefully it will make it a bit easier for him to deal.

    Rainee had a MAJOR asthma attack tonight (about 30 minutes ago)  Scared the crap out of me.  Coughing, Crying, almost puking.  Unable to talk, or decide what she needed.  I gave her the meds she could have, and was trying to calm her down.  Asthma is one of those crap shoots.  You get asthma because your upset.  Your upset because you have asthma.  You make your asthma worse, you get more upset.

    *sigh*

    So her and Zeria are now splashing in the tub at 10;15 at night.  It was what she needed to distract her into breathing.  I had two different kids (sam and Kaylin) come and tell me.  "She's calmed down now."  Its a good indication of how much she scared us.

    I'd love for them to be asleep, cause I'm using tooth picks to hold my eyes up.  LOL   But first she has to get out of the tub....

  • I hope she's OK now!

  • Asthma runs in Wil's family.  He doesn't have it as such but some things trigger a reaction.  Couple of the g-kids have it in various degrees.  His mother was severe as were aunts.

    Lots of explaining and allowing anger to show in dealing with the kids.  I think you are handling it with grace.

  • by next week (the missoula) do you mean when we are coming for a visit...?  That would figure.  My kids want to see your kids really bad and that's all their talking about.

  • sorry for the asthma attack - staying calm is the key to getting thru an attack, until the meds kick in - my son has asthma but hasn't had an attack in quite some time (knocks on wood) - his is allergy induced and he is highly allergic to mold - just great for the humid ol' gulf coast of texas!
