that's it
a lot
heh, that pretty much sums up things. I feel like everything, happens, a lot.
I've been researching curriculum and putting together next years stuff, a lot.
I've been working on weeds in my childrens lives, a lot.
I've been working on weeds in my life, and fleshly attitudes within myself, a lot.
I've been working in the garden, a lot.
I've been working on that stinking pool, a lot.
I've been reading a lot.
I've been emotiona, a lot.
a lot.
The curriculum is coming together--I'm still making some decisions, not sure what the final decision will be..but that brings me to my next little blurb. :)
I'm taking the next two weeks to restart. I made my summer goals and I can honestly say that I am not displeased with my progress in all areas--BUT, the last week and a half or so has served to distract enough that I feel like I need to REFOCUS. That is what I plan to do. Two weeks of focused attention on diet, exercise and plans for schooling.
My twin from another mother, Alicia-sent me a delicious journal and I plan to dive into it during this time too.
My mom currently is suffering from shingles--my kiddos were not vaccinated with the chicken pox vaccine and have yet to have them--so I am assuming I will have at least one kiddo come down with that in the next 2 ish weeks...but we'll have to wait and see.
I pulled out "my utmost for his highest'' this weekend. It has always been one of my favorite 'go to' devotionals. I love Oswald. I love how he shares Truth!
I'm scared about a lot of different things. Not scared like, fearful. Just scared of the unknown. I'm thankful that God goes before me.
I'm learning that it's ok to say things are not ok. People don't recoil in horror or surprise when they realize you are having a yucky day.
I love the Psalms. I identify with David, so often.
I was reminded again, that you just never know what people are dealing with today. It's so easy to just assume. I am praying that God keeps me aware. That I stop long enough to really talk and more importantly to listen . I have been so guilty of not doing that.
I pray that this week is a good one for yall! We are half way done with summer. WOW.

The blog formerly known as Kudzu and Koolaid and that was once upon a time called Crafty-ish... it's a mommy blog, a cooking blog, a wordy, rambly spill of thoughts... it's a mess. It's me.
It's me
Welcome to Kudzu and Koolaid.
It's me, Cheri. :)
I'm perpetually 29.
I am considering writing my congressman to have my birthday declared a national holiday (yes, I really like my birthday that much)
I'm was married and I'm a mom.
I've been blogging since 2004.
and it's a full spectrum show around here...there is momma blogging, running blogging, Jesus blogging, food blogging, crafty blogging, cancer blogging and sometimes I really kick up the excitement and snap a picture of my latest fingernail polish shade. :D
I have met some incredible people via my ''magic box''.
I love to read.
I love to crochet.
I'm a runner.
Coffee makes me happy.
Really happy.
My kids amaze me.
They are more than I ever deserved.
I have four of them and I homeschool.
I prefer a neatly presented package--but am learning that life is more about messy wrapping and lots of scotch tape.
I am flawed. I make lots of mistakes. I question a lot of things-often.
I don't always feel like it makes sense.
But God always does & I'm learning to just trust Him and swim around in the grace He extends.
In June of 2012, my then ex husband Donald, was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer with mets to his liver. He had exactly zero warning signs. He is forty-three. He is currently undergoing chemo treatments via a chest port every two weeks. He will have chemo for the rest of his life.
There were reasons for our divorce and a cancer dx did not magically make those go away. But God has a plan, greater than any I would create and far different than I ever imagined. This is God making beauty from ashes.
This is my journey. Thanks for being here.
