Grandma died yesterday morning. I took Momma to meet with her brothers and the funeral home. I’m thinking a break is good idea right now.
Today it’s raining – again. [sigh] It’s making me even more mellow and sad. Yesterday my mom called to say that the hospice nurse said Grandma has a number of days left – not weeks as they said earlier this week. Shouldn’t I be sadder? I keep telling myself and others that I’ve already grieved her loss and I really have, but I keep thinking I should be sadder.
I’m so thankful that she was still lucid when Josh was alive. She got to enjoy him when we went to see her weekly. After he died, she could not remember he had died, and each time I visited she’d ask where the baby was. I only visited a few times after that. It was just too hard.
Phil 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Well, I’m getting off here to think on other things – good things! I hope you all have a chance to think on the gift of the Ressurection!

I saved up some time this morning to check out http://www.time4learning.com and now my computer won’t let me view it! I’ve tried IE and Firefox…the webmaster says it’s working great this am…my friend says she can see it just fine…and I’m getting more and more frustrated! I’ve shut down my computer….unplugged my modem….I don’t have any kind of net nanny program on this computer. And, yet I still can not access the page. It keeps saying “Page taking too long to load”! Anyone have an idea how I can get it to work??

Sorry I haven’t written sooner – it was due in part to needing to process my thoughts and in part because we’ve had company. My Dad and Stepmom are here for their biannual visit. It’s nice to be distracted at a time like this.
The test results were and were not a surprise. Basically, J2 is about 2 years behind his age – both academically and psychologically. That was not a surprise. However, hearing it confirmed was still hard. Their recommendation is that he be enrolled in a special day class in the public school system. I really think that would be a bad idea for him. But I’m not sure I have my husband’s support (edited to clarify – I mean–I think we aren’t on the same page about J2’s education.).
Through the help of the Christian Home Educator’s email list – I found out about a private school in the Bay Area that gives support and curriculum consultation services to parents of special needs kids who want to keep them at home. I’ve applied for their waiting list, but I have not heard from them yet.
I’m glossing over lots of details…lots of pain….maybe I’ll talk about it more later. Right now I just need to keep praying and letting the Lord speak to my heart. I covet your continued prayers!
