I homeschooled my 2 youngest children. My daughter was homeschooled from fifth grade through tenth grade. My youngest was homeschooled from pre-school through eighth grade. He then went to our local high school where he took Electrical shop and college prep classes. He graduates from the United States Merchant Marine Academy in June.  I used Notebookingpages.com to create workbooks and notebooks when I was homeschooling. I still use the Publisher application of the website to create form and planners now. I have posted some examples of what I used when I was homeschooling. Notebooking Pages is having a great membership sale April 26-28, 2023. See details here(affiliate link) : https://notebookingpages.com/shop/membership/?ap_id=christine_hebert  

Life saving operations

Let me preface this post with this: I have a nursing license. I haven't worked in nursing for quite a while, but it is my background. I already posted that in April of 2022 I had a heart attack that was medication induced. I was put on a beta blocker medication to help my heart compensate for the damage. The medication made me a bit dizzy so we played around with the dosage and timing of it. I continued to be dizzy, but it wasn't as bad. That is, it was not as bad until it was worse. I chalked up the dizziness to the medication and figured it was my "new normal." I passed out while sitting twice. Both times it was extremely hot out and I chalked that up to the heat. On a Sunday in mid-June, my husband nearly called an ambulance as while I was sitting next to him I turned gray. I was not doing anything. Just sitting. My pulse, checked on my smart watch, was 37. I got in touch with the cardiologist on Monday and saw him on Tuesday afternoon. The nurse or tech in h
 It has been a long time since I posted here. So many things have changed! ODS is nearly 34. He has been married since 2019 and has a beautiful little baby boy of his own. ODD was married and widowed and is now married again. She works at Harvard. YDD is a mess.  YDS is a junior at the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, Long Island, New York. He is studying Marine Engineering Systems and spent almost a year total at sea. The "sea year" was spread out over the last 2 school years. DH and I had Covid in December. I basically had a bad cold. He spent 5 days in the hospital and had visiting nurses and physical therapy at home for about 8 weeks. He still has oxygen part time. Two weeks ago, I had a heart attack. It was caused by my migraine medication. Recovering from it is frustrating. I get tired so easily. Life goes on. Dear God, Please help me to accept the changes in our lives and to ever seek to be who You would have me be. Amen.
