Those of you who are on Facebook have already been updated on this, but I thought I'd put it up for the few of you who aren't.
I had another ER visit last week. This time for vomiting blood. After blood tests and one very uncomfortable stool test they determined they did not know why I had puked blood. They sent me home with instructions to watch for internal bleeding. Lucky for us there have been no more signs of bleeding anywhere. One of the blood tests showed that my bilirubin is elevated even higher than it was in August. No explanation for that one as well. It was not "life threatening" so they are leaving it up to my OB if I will be tested again. Always something huh? Drama...
This week I am working on saint costumes for All Saints Day. I am very glad that two little boys decided to pick their saints from last year so I won't have to sew them new costumes. That being said they are complaining that everyone else has the nicest costumes and they have nothing. Honestly, its the other way around at this point. The new costumes are still laying in a nice pile of uncut fabric. It is washed and ironed though. I WILL post pictures of this year's saints next week sometime.
I am getting geared up for the Christmas season. Presents are being planned and purchased as we will not be going to South Dakota for the Christmas. That means anything that goes out there will need to be ready to go by our trip back at Thanksgiving. I have a few more things to prepare and a handful of presents to order. Its hard to believe its already that time of year again. Where did 2010 go? Wasn't it just 2009 a few short months ago???? To be a kid again, when time past at a slow pace and life was full of fun.

Wardrobe Woes
My wonderful husband has informed me that I could update my wardrobe with some new things. This sounds like a blessing right?? Its not. I have the hardest time finding clothes. Now that doesn't mean I'm picky in a bad way. I have certain requirements that need to be meant before I buy something.
First - it has to be modest. About 5 years ago I started wearing skirts roughly 90% of the time. I also started wearing my shirts either long sleeve or 3/4 length. I have found that, while "modern" women will give me looks of disgust, I receive more respect while out in public. I have had people carry my groceries out, put my carts away and even offer to stow my luggage. Those things were not the norm for me before my skirt transformation. Now finding long, modest, loose fitting skirts is a hard task. There are plenty of choices out there, but they always have something wrong. Maybe there is a slit up the back (or front - eegads!) or maybe its so tight you can't walk or genuflect. OH and don't get me started on colors!! What I think is toned down and what designers think are two very different color patterns.
Second - it has to be wearable. I do not like dry clean only or line dry clothes. I barely have time to fold my clothes let alone line dry special or dry clean! Those days are long gone. I also like the material to be durable so I can wear it working outside or to church 50 times before it wears out. This is a problem as most nice, modest skirts are made with lovely material that doesn't work with my expectations.
Third - it has to be long and have room to grow. I don't like my skirts to be calf length or higher. I feel almost naked when I walk out with a skirt that exposes any of my leg. Granted I am almost always wearing long socks in the winter (or long underwear) so no one would see a thing then. As for my shirts, I prefer them with extra long sleeves if they are long-sleeved and of course a high neck line. I can't stand to see a women bend over and expose her God-given gifts for all to see. Also, I like a little room to grow. Sometimes shirts of today hug your belly to the point that everyone knows you put on 5 pounds over Thanksgiving. I like to have breathing room for expanding baby bellies. Makes me feel like I'm not THAT fat that soon if I can get away with wearing my regular clothes.
Fourth - it has to be cheap. Ohhh, this is by far the hardest thing I have to deal with. Now to be fair to my wonderful husband, money has never been an issue. We buy nice, once, so we don't have to buy again in a few months when it wears out. That being said I can't bring myself to spend more than $20 on a skirt and $10 on a shirt. I am cheap, cheap, cheap. I love shopping at Goodwill for their $3.99 skirts or great sales, but finding anything worth buying there is hit or miss (heavy on the miss).
My closet is lined with quite a few clothes. Most of them I found at Goodwill. The skirts are waiting for a matching shirt (I will find one I know I will!) while the shirts are waiting for a non-patterned skirt. So here is a perfect example of when I should have just spent the money to buy nice, once, and called it good. And I shouldn't even tell you about my everyday skirts. Imagine holes and stains and most wouldn't cut it as rags for cleaning. EEEEGADS!!!!!!
I enjoy the colors blue, brown, green and tan. Sometimes I branch out to gray and black, but not often. That leaves me with 4 hues of brown shirts (which match maybe 2 skirts total), a couple of green shirts that match very little and a lovely collection of every darker blue I love. Still a problem matching them to skirts...arrrr!
So, my solution to this problem has always been to buy material and make skirts. Simple, elastic waist skirts that are long, roomy and usually priced right. I am cheap after all...I even work cheap. I did buy over $70 worth of material once. Nice, lovely designs that would match most of my shirts. I cut out the patterns, sewed them nicely and tried them on only to find out - my hips grew since the last time I used the pattern. THEY REALLY GREW! Ok...plan B...give skirts away and find more material. I managed to give the skirts away, but never bought more material.
Now that Darren wants me to update my wardrobe I am full of frustration and worry. I would like to dress to please him. He tells me to wear whatever I want, yet will point out that sometimes my clothes are mismatched (yah I know!). He says he doesn't mind that I wear skirts, but I know that he likes it when I wear my one pair of jeans as well. Oh double arrr...arrr.
My style of clothes is an interesting mix. Think Edwardian plus out west way back when plus a little bit of modern and you have a pretty good idea why I have trouble finding clothes. I have a feeling I will just buy material, sew like crazy (using a pattern that fits!) and continue to skirt by the problem for the time being.

Have I Forgotten?
You are all such dear family and friends that I knew I could "forget" my blog and you wouldn't mind too much. It has been a long, long couple of months, but I think we have finally gotten past the rough stage. If I can keep my food down all of today and tomorrow it will be one week since my children had to yell "She's gonna blow!" That was my requirement to be back to normal - I had to go a full week without getting sick.
Juliana did a great job of helping us through all of September. I have some pictures to post of our fun times with her. I will get to those, as well as a bunch from around the here from before I was so sick. When Juliana went home, my brother Andrew came out for two weeks. He was also a good help, although he doesn't do bathrooms. I have to say though, he did mow the lawn twice for us and that was a great help. You should have seen his face when he had most of the leaves mowed up and it looked great - pride! Then the next morning we woke up and it appeared as though he hadn't done a thing - defeat! I told him that it was ok...its just fall in the U.P. of Michigan. As I peek out my window I see the lawn is covered again. Now that my helpers are gone I just might get a chance on the lawnmower. I do enjoy those moments with my i-Pod and me, bouncing along, singing a song, not a care in the world.
Darren, Blase, Andrew and one of Darren's friends from work, Joe, are in South Dakota doing some much anticipated pheasant hunting. Darren and Joe were suppose to go last year, but if you recall we had H1N1 that week. They are probably getting geared up and formulating a plan as I type. Blase was excited to go along this year. I am sure he will grow into a fine hunter someday. All our boys are showing signs of following in their Dad's footsteps - wherever they may lead. I am also convinced that over half the reason Andrew came out was so that he could go hunting with Darren too. I am glad. It fills my heart with happiness to see my younger brothers and sisters learning from Darren and being part of his life as well. You see...in our family there is no such thing as in-laws. We are all Mom and Dad's children, whether we were born into the family or married into it. I know that is hard for the "in-laws" to understand, but its true.
School is coming along nicely. We still have to add our Africa study back into the mix. The boys are going to finish some of their classes well before the end of the school year. I am already wondering how I will fill their time. I think it will be a great time to do some hands on learning, but that means more thinking and planning on my part. I honestly don't mind too much, its just that being behind in other areas (like cleaning) makes adding research to my list a very exhausting idea.
Speaking of cleaning - I think I will start some fall cleaning in the next week or two. I have started what Darren calls an "official honey do list" for each room. My goal is to tackle one or two rooms a month this winter. I explained to Darren that we buy a house and live in it the way it is. We don't do too much to make it "our house". I want to paint a few rooms and move a few pictures around as well as the little fixer uppers here and there. The house looks great on the outside, now its time to spruce up the inside.
I have another batch of zucchini jam (cherry this time) to make and apple pie filling and then I'm DONE with canning. Darren and Juliana, with a little help from me, managed to can a lot of things. We did spaghetti sauce, chili sauce, tomatoes, pickled carrots and cauliflower, dilly beans, strawberry zucchini jam, orange zucchini jam, pickles and and and I know I'm missing something. I'd also like to try canning pumpkin pie filling, but I don't have a recipe. SEND ME ONE if you have one that works. THANKS! I got to the point with the garden that I told them to just pull the plants and call it good. I was so sick of them picking vegetables and me not being able to do a thing about it. Darren says we are changing our planting plan next year. We are going to be very picky about what we plant. I like that idea!
I hope you have enjoyed the update from our home. I will try to get to the pictures and other posts in the near future. I still have a few things to do to catch up and as of late my energy level does not cooperate. You'd think I was growing a baby or something. ;) I am on Week 15 now. Next month I will have ultrasound pictures to post. So exciting!!
Now I'm off to clean the basement with the boys so they can exchange their tractors and plastic trucks for the Mr. Potato Head toys and dress up boxes. I see pirates in my future! Arrr yee maties - time to swab the deck!

Announcement and Excitement
We're having another baby.
I've know since July 28th.
At first I wasn't sick, so I was worried. I had three blood tests and an ultrasound to show that YES I am pregnant with a sweet baby in the proper place.
Now fast forward to morning sickness. Its bad again this time. I have had two trips to the ER this week for fluids.
First trip to the ER the doctor said I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum (really bad morning sickness) and Jaundice. They did tons of blood tests and a complete ultrasound of my organs. Everything looked good on the ultrasound, but my bilirubin count was elevated. They said that all the tests said I wasn't that dehydrated, so they were concerned about the cause of all of the problems. They put one bag of fluid in me and sent me home with new medication for the nausea.
Two days later I went for a follow up appointment with my midwife. She was concerned at how I looked and sent me back to the ER. She had an internal medicine doctor do an exam on me. He decided I did not have jaundice, I did not have a liver of gall bladder problem and that I was simply dehydrated. He had the nurses put two bags of fluid in me and sent me home with a third medication for nausea. He also left standing orders to fill me with two bags of fluid whenever I show up. He suggested I come in 3 times a week until the morning sickness is over. A bag of fluid seems to keep me functioning for one day.
I am trying to eat as much as I can, even with the vomiting. Drinking is also a problem, but I'm putting as much down as I can stomach. Its been an interesting few weeks. Darren and the boys have been paying the price for Mom being out of commission. They waited in the van for 4 hours, twice this week. THANKS HONEY!!
I'm glad to say that my sister is considering coming out to help for a month. Dad will probably bring her out for us. What a blessing to have such a charitable family!!!
We are excited about the baby, but not so excited about me being sick again. Such is life huh?

Beep, Beep
It's late at night, just after 11 PM. I've had a bad day. I feel like crap. I am feeling sorry for myself. I can't seem to shut down my mind and yet I'm exhausted. Too many thoughts, too little me to process them. Will the day ever end? Will tomorrow be better?
BEEP, BEEP
I hear it in the distance. It's like a beacon in a storm. It calls out once and yet it lingers.
I'm sure you are wondering what went beep, beep. Its a watch. It has no band to keep it on my wrist. It doesn't technically belong to me, but its mine. It beeps every hour, 10 minutes after the hour according to my other clocks. Sometimes I hear it, sometimes I don't.
The watch belonged to Mark. It was in his pocket when he died. It beeped every hour in his pocket all night long. No one heard it, no one. I was given the watch and his wallet and most of the things that were on him when he died. So I suppose its mine now.
What does a person do with a watch you can't wear? I placed it on my desk, where it has been for two years now. At the suggestion of my mother, every time I hear the beep, beep I say a Hail Mary for Mark. I spend a LOT of time at my desk or at least in the school room. You'd think I'd hear it often, but I don't. When he first died I heard the watch every hour all day long. The pain was raw, it was so new. I needed something to help me get through the day without driving myself mad. The watch was just what I needed. Those Hail Marys were medicine to my wounds.
Why don't I carry the watch in my pocket? Now, two years later, I only hear the watch maybe once or twice a day. It doesn't even bother me I don't hear it or carry it because life is happening. Dirty diapers, loads of laundry, dishes and of course boys everywhere. I don't want to hurry through a Hail Mary while changing those diapers or washing the dishes. I want to hear the beeps when its time. When life has calmed and quieted, when I'm not being hurried.
Last night I heard the beeps. I calmed and I relaxed and everything seemed so much better. I said a Hail Mary and it was medicine for my wounds. I smiled and tried to sleep again. It must have worked.
Now its almost 10 AM and I haven't heard the beeps again. Life...sure does get busy at times. That's good...I won't have time to dwell on the fact that two years ago today was the last time I saw Mark's body. I can relive that day like it was yesterday, but I choose not to. I choose to live today, the dirty diapers, the dishes and all the boys everywhere. The watch reminds me I choose to live today, without forgetting the past. Thanks Mom for the watch, for the Hail Mary idea and for Mark.

Zoo times Two
We took our "zoo" to the nice family zoo about 5 miles from our house earlier this month. It was a great time as we had along some friends from church. The boys were excited about the baby hippo that just moved in and of course the alligators were a big hit. They even got to pet baby lemurs, an albino skunk and a young fox. Of course, my camera ran out of batteries after only a handful of pictures. Typical. We will be going back there later this month with another family. If I remember we will take pictures then too.
Brech loved the goats and the goats would have loved some of Brech's snacks.
One of the bears we saw. They have a quite a few bears for us to see.

Hot and Cold
Two days ago Darren brought home two window A/C units for our house. He installed them before he went to bed and all was well. The next morning he said he would like to see how much of the house they can cool down, so leave them turned near 70 degrees. Let me tell you - THEY WORK! We were all cold most of the day. In fact, I turned them to 75 degrees because Blase was complaining about being too cold. The day before we were sitting in 85 or higher degrees in the house and the next day its 71 degrees. Even last night I was sitting with a blanket because I was cold. Darren finally turned it to 73 for the night, thanks dear!
Here is a great example of the differences between Darren and I. Last night I slept with long sleeves, long sweat pants and two blankets. Darren slept in a tee shirt, shorts and no blankets. Same room, same temperature around us - I was freezing and he was roasting. Typical! Too funny!!
I have to admit though, I am pleased the humidity is gone from the house. It was getting bad. I am missing having the doors open all day and hearing the sounds of nature. I may have to turn the A/C off when the weather cools down a bit, like to 75 degrees. :)
Can't please us...too hot or too cold. No happy medium I guess.
