Slept all night long

Well dd S slept all night long. Always nice when she does this. It's not unusual for her to wake and come to our bed 4 out of 7 nights. So when she stays in her bed all night, it's a treat.

Ds R went to bed with a stiff neck last night. He apparently got hit in the head with a ball Tues evening while at the church for his class. He said he felt like he was dizzy afterward. I explained that he very could be. He said it's not the regular headache but dizzy. I told him that's the type of headaches I'd been getting lately. Thankfully I seem to be fine the last few days. I HATE having those headaches. I just have a hard time functioning with them.

Well, I've been following my nephew's blog the last few days(his little boy has MAJOR health issues) and it's getting very sad. I won't go into all the details, but due to an incident a few weeks ago, it looks like his brain isn't working very well right now. They've been approached by the dr's in the last few days stating "It's ok if you decide that 'B' has suffered enough." Thankfully they weren't offended by this and are just taking it one hour at a time to see how he's doing. I just hope and pray that they will be comforted with whatever needs to be done.

On a brighter note, the insurance for my dad has finally come to a closure...I think. They finally have all 4 letters from us siblings, a letter signed(somewhat)by my mom stating she agrees with our statements. Yesterday I received a phone call from the lady in charge asking a few questions to make sure we're all set. Verified my address so the check would be sent correctly. So now we just wait to see the amounts and then whatever is needed to complete the payment on the mortuary to get them paid off. The insurance lady said she was so glad to work with a family that is working together. We're not greedy and not jumping all over each other. I told her that's just now how we were raised and said thanks.

Yesterday I told ds R that he needed to update our homeschool groups calendar that's on the website so it reflects what is happening in May. I think, due to his headache(from the ball on Tues) that he was getting tired of doing this. So he set up a new calendar that I could update each month. I said that's fine just show me how it works. It looks a bit blah and colorless, but he assures me that he can take care of that today. I hope so.

I'm hoping the weather will warm up soon. We got a bit spoiled there the other week when the temp were in the high 70s. It was so nice to go out and sit on the porch and watch the kids ride their bikes. Lately the temp has been in the low 50s and cloudy. It has definitely take a toll on attitudes.

Well to end on a happy note. Dd N has been working on her times tables with timestales.com and it's working. It's been slow going but she's starting to remember the upper times tables. So glad since we've been trying all yr with no succcess. I'm thinking we'll continue this all summer and then hopefully next fall she can go on to the next book in the series in Saxon. She's definitely been excited.
