November 21st 2007
Today was nice, I didn't have as many daycare kids as I should have... I gave parents the option of bringing there kids here today since my oldest is sick with the flu... Only 2... so along with my 4, I had six today! I mostly just sanitized my house... hopeing to prevent the flu from spreading. Today I had a meeting with Nicholas "special help" teacher and the school social worker... I ended up breaking down and crying, becasue of how they were saying Nicholas was in school .. so quite..... just sits back, while kids around him goof around, in the lunch line he even was butted in front of, most kids would tell the kid to go to the back of the line, Nicholas said nothing and ended up being last in line... after he got thru the lunch line, he went to sit at the end of the table by no one.. the social worker then went over to Nicholas and told him to scootch down and sit by the others... he did.... but still didn't talk to no one. The social worker says he has a very low self asteem.. he thinks he is to shy, ugly and just not a good boy... It breaks my heart. Of course I wonder if I have made him feel this way? with my yelling and naggin the kids. I have to learn a different way becasue it abviously is not working. After Nicholas meeting, I then went the Library with Nicholas. He is very proud to tell people he now has is VERY OWN library card! I let him check out 3 books... I told him if he can take good care of them and read them, we will return any time he wants to check out new ones. He is very excited. I will be very excited if I actually see him reading!!! we got him some good ones that look his level of reading... I hope he gives it a shot. After the Library I went to Michlyn's conferences. Of course she is doing great... loves to be there, very out going just a happy cheerful little girl that is a joy to have in class :) after conferences we came homs and ate supper together and played a game of SORRY... kiddo's are now down stairs watching t.v. since they do not have school , that is there treat to watch t.v. in the living room as late as they want... just don't bother me... :) Tomorrow I believe I have a full house... 8 or 9 kids... I think we will make each family some cute little turkey sugar cookies... Nicholas has another dr. appt..at 3:00 and Erica and Mike were invited to the movie Enchanted.. so it won't be to hectic all day long.. I will get a break in there. Looking forwar to tomorrow, I can stay up late and not worry about having to wake up at 5:50 a.m. to some people like my mom would say that is sleeping in... but not me! not when your going 100 mph all day.... Tomorrow night I hope to work on a mini album for Joey's brithday. it's a cute little ABC album, I have different pictures of him togeather with loved ones doing various things... Well, since all the kiddo's are actually leaving me be, I am going to go up to bed, and get some good rest for tomorrows big day.

Oh Heidi now you are breaking my heart!!!!!! Do you think Nick's meds are doing this to him? did you tell his doctor how he is feeling? You just want to grab him and tell him how cute he is! Now I will think about this all day and feel bad. Well got to go to town wouldn't you know I would forget a few things even when I had everything written down!
Doesn't Rick struggle with the same issues? I know it breaks your heart to have your kid treated like an outcast. I remember going through that with Jake when we first moved to Big Lake. It was hard!
Hello God,
I want to pray for my nephew Nicholas. He is having a tough time at school. Will you watch over him please? I know you will, he love him more than any of us do. Please send him a nice friend, someone that Nick can really relate to and get along with. A close buddy! PLease guard his heart. Don't let it be filled with bitterness or anger. Build up his confidence, his self esteem, help him to know he is priceless, that he is your favorite. Grant Heidi and Rick wisdom in handling Nick. Help them to discipline him correctly when he needs to be. Give them a whole load of patience, more then they need to get through this stage of life with their 4 children. Thank you for help. Thank you that you love us unconditionally. Thank you that we each can be called your favorite. I love you! In your precious son's name I pray!
Amen.
