August proved to be a very relaxing month. My surgery was not as successful as I had hoped. I am still leaking. The doctor told me it was from the surgery, but I am thinking it is also urine. I go to the doctors on Friday, so hopefully at that point I will have more information.
Now for the standard wrap-up:
Goal #1: Read all seven Harry Potter books on my new Nexus 7 tablet. Read as much as possible.
I read two enjoyable books: Mennonite in a Little Black Dress and The Wednesday Sisters. I also received all our curriculum and made certain what was required of me. I was also very privileged to win a free ticket to a week-long homeschool webinar. It was super informative, and I loved having the opportunity to connect with people, and get energized to teach this year.
Goal #2: Reclaim my body - mentally, physically, and emotionally.
I have started to walk distances again, and it does help my moods. As for losing the weight...ugh...lets not go there.
Goal #3: Give more.
Our financial donation was to The Henry Ford. However, during the month my girls and I donated towels to the animal shelter and they raised money with their friends for St. Jude. I am currently chairing up a mini mission at our old church (which is our current church too) for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. I never found a replacement church, and I need to be with people who are open to whom they accept (i.e. everyone). I am not comfortable in a church that picks and chooses scripture to support their views. I also feel women need to have an opportunity to pastor, not simply pushed to the side.And another month begins....
