but before I retire, I wanted to do a quick update.
Preston is being potty trained. I never dreamed we would have to be doing this when he was over 19 years old. Anyhow, we started yesterday by telling him since Daddy would be home to help him, that we could not wear diapers during the day. So we put boxer shorts on him. Well, yesterday all day he used the big potty to pee-pee and poo-poo! He was so proud and we are too. Today, he did the same, until we got him in bed for the night and he peed in his diaper. But we put diapers on him at night in case he wets during the night. So we are headed in the right direction!
Today was an off day for me; meaning I didn't feel the best. If I do not get enough rest, my fibro is worse, and I cannot function very well without a good night's rest. I couldn't get to sleep last night and had to get up and take more meds. to get to sleep. Then Preston woke up at 5 something blowing his whistle that he needed us. So I got up then, and went back to bed. He blew again at almost 9 and Jr. took care of him and let me sleep. I didn't get up until almost 10. Jr. fixed Preston's breakfast, etc., and since he had to take care of him while I slept, he didn't get to church. But God knows all about it and knows what we have been through this past few months. I know I will always have more tiredness due to my fibromyalgia and arthritis, but Preston's illness has taken a toll on all of our bodies. Maybe one day we will feel like we are recovering from it all.
We were all able to attend church tonight; and that was a blessing. And we stayed to eat in the fellowship hall. Missie has a new friend now, she is younger than Missie, but that is ok; she is thrilled. This family also homeschools and sometimes we are going to get together and school. Missie was gone Fri. night, all day Sat. and until 5:15 this evening with a friend's in Six Mile. They had homecoming at their church today and Missie attended. They found out she could sing and she sang a solo and her friend played for her, and she had several guitar players back her up. She really enjoyed singing again. She has a talent from the Lord, and I hope she gets to use it more often. I don't want her to never get away from wanting to sing for the Lord. Children and their talents are very important. Anyhow, she saw some people from Free Wesleyan who sang at the homecoming as well. Some of them didn't even know her as she has changed and grown up so much.
Gotta get to bed. Am very weary tonight.

Mine is 7 and potty training hasn't happened yet. He still doesn't feel the need to "go" yet.
