Dad update: Dad is at a facility that can provide some skilled nursing care for a while while he gets his systems in order (oxygen, blood pressure, etc.), then they can provide physical therapy to help him regain his strength. My sister is out there for a couple more days and my brother will arrive this afternoon. They are amazing. I am going to write some posts because Dad has his laptop and a recliner, so I’d like to provide a bit of content. Love you, Dad!

This week has been AWFUL. I cannot stress that enough. AWFUL. Not just the worry and concern over Dad, but the children. Oh. My. Lands. I recognize that some of this is on me – I need to step up my game and problem-solve some of the behavioral issues, but my guys are driving me batty. One bright spot this week was the Reformation Walk that St. John school put on. Granted, this was a headache for all the teachers – Deborah and Sam included – but they did a great job and it kept my children from clamoring about Halloween for a couple of hours. Thank you.

Three of our preschool classes walked over to tour the ten stations with activities about the Reformation. My class was lucky because we are paired up with the 5th grade class as pen pals, so my supervision was much easier.

I made a video to send to my kids’ parents, but I realize now I didn’t put any background music with it. Oops. Not gonna fix it now.

Dad had his surgery – a partial hip replacement – on Sunday. The surgery went well, but his blood pressure was very, very low and they kept him in recovery a couple of extra hours. His oxygen has also been very low, so they have kept him in the hospital to try and figure that […]

(That’s an intentionally missing ‘h’.) EDIT: I batch-wrote these posts before Dad fell, so if I seem a little cavalier, remember that Lauren of the Past was the author. I like our school. There are good things about it and, of course, there are things that need to improve. We were discovering that new staff […]

My dad had a fall on Saturday and broke his hip. Surgery is scheduled for today, Sunday, and your prayers are very welcome. My sister is headed out there today, and my brother will head out there after she returns. That’s all I know for now.

I know that these posts are not in real time, but that’s what we’re working with, people. October 14th was supposed to be Partial Eclipse Day. I was excited because it coincided with The Conference, but then I realized that the eclipse would be over before the main part of Saturday’s activities began. As it […]

Sorry, guys – I really don’t have a lot going on in my life. There is a table-thing in the guest room that Lloyd and I have owned since we first moved back to Seward. I believe it was purchased at a Service Merchandise. It’s a counter-high table that came with two stools and it […]
