Holidays!

Wow, how quickly time is passing!
It will soon be Christmas!

Our pharmacy informed us that the manufacter was no longer making name brand buspar. Buspar is an anti-anxiety medication that Preston has been taking for years and it has worked so well for him. Well, the psychiatrist wanted to try klonopin, along with the generic buspar. Well, it did not work well for him at all. I called the dr. but he wouldn't help me at all. He said he would address the problem at his next visit. I told him I didn't think we could wait that long! So I just weaned him off of it myself, and he is doing so much better. He is taking generic buspar and xanex as needed. It has made such a difference to get him off klonopin.

Missie has been overwhelmed at times with all that is happening at school. She is in the school play and there is much practice for that. She feels stressed because there isn't a lot of time to get her pace work done. The holiday weekend was so good for her. This next week will be kind of hard too with play practice, and everything else, but soon the play will be over and it will get easier. She already has completed 39 paces, so she is ahead! We are proud of how hard she has worked.

Our school's ladies volleyball team won 2nd place in the championship at Bird Lake, MI. They played hard and did great! It was a very tiring day and Missie was very sore as well. But they all had a wonderful time.

We had a quiet but wonderful Thanksgiving. I fixed sweet potato casserole, ham, brocolli & cauliflower with cheese, rolls, sliced cheese, pickles and olives. We had lemon meringue pie for dessert. Then in the evening, Missie and went to the Fry's house and she played games with their family. She really enjoyed that. I also let the children open their gifts from Nana, as well. Missie got a MP3 player with a nice sized screen which she loves! It was a surprise for her! Preston got a VTech computer with mouse and mousepad. He loves it too! They were excited to open her gifts.

Missie put our Christmas tree up today. So that is done. I have most of the children's gifts, some still have to arrive in the mail, and I have one to get in town for Preston. I do most of my shopping online; it is so much easier than fighting the crowds and many times gets things cheaper, as well.

It is busy during this season with school and church activities. Missie and I are in the choir at church, and have been practicing for the contata each Sun p.m. Junior was asked to preach tomorrow night at our church. It has been quite a while since he preached. And we have quite a large church, too! He may be a little nervous but will do great, I am sure. You can always go the church's website and hear him if you wish, or watch it livestreaming on Sunday p.m. Service starts at 6 p.m. http://www.fbhc.info/

Junior is doing well at his job. We are so thankful for this job! God surely gave it to him. He has to miss a lot of activities especially this time of the year, working 2nd shift, but we are thankful for the job. Missie is disappointed because he won't get to go to the school play and watch her perform. She is playing the part of one of the main actors in the play. But we have to do what we have to do. I will go. Preston can stay alone for me to go.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and wishing you all a very wonderful Christmas season!
