Life with my sister

I'm writing this days ahead of when you are reading it. I'm not even sure I'll even be posting this, actually. Today I saw on facebook something that angered me so badly I had to take a deep breath, close my eyes and say a prayer. I texted Abby and asked her to pray also, and could hardly type the words correctly because of my anger. I've done pretty well the past few weeks and really thought I was over the town we used to live in and the people we served. But this one comment threw me right over the edge. Nothing was said directly, but what was implied hurt my feelings. It seems that some people tend to think that their opinions are always correct. That they aren't opinions but facts. I am quite insecure and never want to hurt anyones feelings. But, some people are just evil. I don't know what kind of person you are. I don't know if you are meek and mild, or harsh and opinionated. But if you are the latter please think before you speak or post. If you are m...

I told you about one of my boys last week. I told you of his drive to be perfect and have order all around him. Someone said he seemed a little OCD . He really isn't OCD , just a bit uptight. And the more I say "chill out" the more he is the same! HA! One of my other boys isn't uptight at all! He is laid-back and easy going. Watching him play basketball Tuesday night, Stephen said that he had never seen anyone more so much without going anywhere. I agreed and he isn't just that way with his movement, but also with his mouth. He loves to talk, sometimes with meaning, sometimes just nonsense. He loves to cuddle though. And he always has. A lady at church calls him my side-kick. I hadn't really noticed, but he always sits beside me at church. The other three kids may sit with me or may sit with a friend or in the pew in front of me. But not this one, he sits with me. His love for me is evident. He wants to make people happy. He doesn't want to hurt anyone...

All four of our children are so different. A couple of them look alike but other than that, they are completely different. Two of the boys are playing basketball this year. It has been interesting to watch their personalities in action. One is easy-going, playful, and unconcerned about being perfect. The other one is none of those things. He has been that way since he was a toddler. This boy would always carry a bag with all of favorite little toys with him wherever he went. Even if it was just a trip from his bedroom to the kitchen. He loved having all of his "things" together. Now, that he is years older and his toys have changed, he doesn't carry a bag anymore. He is very concerned about his belongings though. As he plays with his various toys, he is very rigid, and structured. I love watching him put all his toys in neat rows, clean lines, and knowing where everything is supposed to be. He wants everything to be perfect. Not just his toys, but his schoolwork and his ...
