where have I been part 2

I know I have neglected you dear blog. It's been quite a winter with illnesses; we are in the midst of a run of the mill evil cough and cold. Brian had decided a week was long enough for littlest to have a fever and took us to the 'urgent care' this afternoon when he woke up. He is such a sweet man to take care of so well. He loves us to no end :) we arevery blessed to have the old man

Speaking of blessings; my young son has been so concerned with me and the princess. He has waited on us hand and foot at times.. I had all the water that I could need and Amelia was well supplied with her 'chocolate milk' He brought me my inhaler more then twice when daddy was at work and could tend to me and I was having asthma problems. He is a son to be proud of and I am.

A few things have happened since I have written last. the biggest thing is that we are a homeschooling family! Brian and I decided after much 'confidental talk' that the best thing for us is to pull Joel out of school and teach him at home. We have a multitude of reasons and I promise I will go into them very soon I promise!

I also have started a companion blog about my memories of my life. little snippets that I am thinking on at that time .. dont' feel you have to read them.. they are mostly just for me; but your more then welcome to glimpse at them. http://jessieslife.wordpress.com/

after all.. Jessica wasn't built in a day.. it's taken awhile to get this way :)

Today my sisters' husband Chris lost his brother in death. Jody was thirty years old; same age as me.. He was the youngest in his family and he will be missed by his family. I don't know alot about him.. I know he was in pain everyday. I know he had bad depression; but I also know that he had a good sense of humor and he was a kind person. i wish I could have gotten to know him better. i am sorry that my sisters' husband , his mother, and his family are suffering.. I want them to know that my thoughts are with them..
