Hey there friends. Hope your summer is going well. I see some of my friends have begun their countdown till school starts. My boys have been so busy this summer that I feel like summer has barely begun. Yet, in just two weeks, my oldest heads back to school. The rest are staggered. That happens when you have four children in four different schools, tee hee. I had a great trip to Seattle. I got back in the groove, and much to my pleasant surprise, it was like riding a bike. I think I will enjoy being back to work, and the pace, will work out well for me too. I am not giving up my jewelry business. In fact I may even do a few shows around the holidays, as it looks like my consulting schedule will be a little slow in December. Gods timing has proven itself perfect, once again, in my life. He has a much better handle on what is good for me and my family, than I do myself, that is for sure. Enjoy the rest of summer. I am counting down the days until my boys come home. They have been back east visiting with their grandparents. Six more days! I know they are having a ball, but I do miss em'. 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
