I so love this scripture.....

I feel a little exhausted today. I said that I was starting to feel Jalils angst about school so I did what I do and took the bull by the h orns and emailed most (except one) of his teachers today. We are able to look online to see what assignments have been assigned and what hasnt been completed and there is links to email the teachers. Tonight has been nothing but me re introducing myself to teachers and letting them know 'hey... I am not a BACK BURNER mama....' Jalil needs a lot of organization for his days to run smoothly...gee wonder where he gets that from????
Okoye had to go get a physical today and his father tookhim. Again, he's starting to feel....not as connected....to the kids as he wishes he could be so every little thing that is going on with the kids, he's trying to step up and do it. Okoye texted me and said that he had lost 11 pounds but his doctor wasnt too concerned about it. ummm okay. 10 minutes later I get another text 'they takn my blood!' I immediately get on the phone 'ummm whats going on???' No one knows a freakin' thing. His father didnt ask. He just let somebody come into a room and stick a needle in my baby. And WHY did he ask me 'why are you pissed???' Since I was at work I did that shrill whisper scream 'because you let someone take blood and didnt ask WHY!!!' His reasoning is that if something is wrong then at least we are running the test to know. urgh...

So I call his doctor who is my doctor and explain that yes, I understand her concern but to please remember that we've recently found out that I was diabetic and our eating habits have changed dramatically. I mean, I could eat 6 slices of bread IN A DAY. Add a loaded potatoe with some mac and cheese and yeah...we are good to go. Think about not eating that on a DAILY basis and you loose at least a pound a week. Add into it his activities and constant movement he's going to lose more. She still thought running labs wouldnt hurt.

Miyagi has started chewing again and I cant help but think its because he's mad that once again, he has got to be alone all day by himself. We didnt have the problem as much all summer but here lately, its started back up again. Since school started. Mabye I need a puppysitter.....

You're not the only one. The first time I seen it (this is in the Capital) it was like a good 'whoops' upside my head...I've heard it preached but for some reason seeing it here just reminded me of the importance of the words.
