We've all had ups and downs. I'm just glad my kids take turns having a tough time so I can take care of them properly. Does it feel to anyone else that the hardest things you go through may be for your children? I'll admit I've been through some tough stuff but I hate the helplessness of watching your child hurt.
It's been Allison's trial period. She came home the other day sobbing. She'd gotten her first D on a test, it was in pre calculus. Math hasn't ever given her trouble and now her faith in herself is shaken. She took the opportunity to go in this morning and meet with her teacher to see what she needs to focus on. She's also been facing other things that have shown me that she's strong in spirit, character and the gospel. It's been a hard week for Allison and those who love her. Emily and Michael have been a big support. I'd always told them about the "mother tiger" that can ignite in me and now I see it in them. It's quite heart warming.
On a positive note I'll add my Tuesday Two:
1. I'm grateful that my children have a good opportunity for a good education. Alli and Em both got another "letter" for academics last night. Michael just keeps going from strength to strength and is doing extrememly well.
2. I have finally procurred dental insurance and we will all be going under the x-rays soon. It's been a while. Earlier in my life I HATED going to the dentist but the wise woman in me enjoys keeping my teeth.
I love you all!

Trust me you are NOT alone in your feelings! I have shed more tears for me kids than I ever have over myself. Its because we love them so much and we just want to fix it and make it better and we can't always do that. Its times like those that I have only a small understanding of what our Father in Heaven feels for us. How He must feel when he sees us hurt. Thank goodness he gave us a brother who loves us enough that he atoned for us.
Give Ali a hug for me. And remind her that this is just a short little moment in the whole big scheme of things. And Aunt Gina aren't you proud of her and the strong good character that she has and for good other kids that also love her too.
Love you, JoLynn
Thanks again for your wonderful example and for your nice comments on our blog.
Hey There Sis!
Please tell Ali how much we love her and that she will NEVER regret doing the right thing.I am praying for her and all of you who are supporting her through this.
Speaking of insurance, I was in Wlagreens last night and they have a program where you can get a 90 day supply of generics for $12.
Does that beat your insurance? Check it out. Love you!
