Good Morning friends. I hope your week is off to a tremendous start. As always, lots to accomplish this week, right? Well my number one priority is finding a way to remove the air soft BB from my four year olds sinus cavity. He stuffed it up there good. We have tried saline, inducing sneezing (he loved that), good old fashioned nose blowing, and it is still lodged up there. My husband reminds me that a few months back Nick sneezed out a booger covered Lego (we didn't even know it was up there), so to relax. I am leaning toward a visit to the pediatrician. Poor kid. The same afternoon that he shoved the BB up his nose, he also created some lovely art with sharpie on my wall. I am grateful it wasn't worse to be honest. Before we know it all of the small toys lying about will have been devoured by our new goat (I mean puppy), so Nick will be out of danger. It's all good. I am processing a lot this week. As usual my brain is on overdrive, my body in slow motion. I truly have a lot to do, so I need to be inspired to ACTION, ACTION, ACTION! this week. Pray for idleness to stay far, far, away from me if you wouldn't mind. I appreciate your prayers. Go forward friends! Be productive! Have an incredible week!
I enter this new week a little tired, but smiling. Why? No drama this weekend. We had sunshine, and sports, and cuddle time--- less the drama. Most families don't experience the intense level of emotions that the Rhodes clan does. Sure, they have the hectic life of families, perhaps some fighting, the normal mess--- perhaps a little teen hormone induced drama....but we have drama of a different kind in our house. The kind of drama caused by a brain that is shooting off crazy chemicals induced by years of trauma. When our son Victor is home, the whole world is a great big land mine. Saying the wrong thing, calling him out on behavior, or even suggesting that he not eat a 4th serving of ice cream can cause the the peace to recede, and for chaos to ensue. He is now in a boarding school for kids with emotional issues. As sad as it is that our family isn't all together--- I must admit that the peace in our household is a welcome blessing. We are learning more and more
