A New "Normal"

This week has been filled with adjustments as we have seen Rachel break free and want life to go back to "normal". This has been awesome on so many levels. I am hoping that "Crisis Mode" can be part of the past...for a little bit!!

First, Rachel is getting her spunk back!! She went "couponing" last week with me and was able to score some awesome deals...from there she has sprung wings and taken off with her old fire and determination to concur everything that she sets her mind to and so, the couponing begins again:-) This is awesome for me too because Rachel and I feed off each other and encourage each other with our deals that we find at the stores. Then we gather together and bless others with all of our "free" or "Money Makers" that we get through couponing!! Want to bless us and bless others...bring us coupons!!! You should see what we can do with them and who we can bless.

Lunch dates filled Rachel calendar this week and it helped lift her spirits to get out and have fun with friends!! I was so glad that she could have that time out.

Rachel is also venturing into a more Vegetarian diet since it has been 6 months on a vegan diet and according to Gerson she can go back to eating (in small amounts) cheeses, eggs, and other dairy items. I am sure she is going to be in heaven!!! Her taste buds really have been craving these foods.

As for me, Rachel has asked that I relax a little on all the cooking. She wants me to get back to normal too and I have to admit that I am glad to have a little break. I am enjoying extra time with my kids and naps!!! I actually got 2 in this week. I will continue to juice for Rachel almost everyday but not have to stress so much about what she is eating.

Mom has been asked to relax a little too and so Mom has gone out to eat with friends, had friends visit, taught a little and I think is just feeling the pressure of everything roll off her shoulders.

Today Rachel went to a bunch of yard sales with Julie, Aunt Betty, myself and my three kids:-) We all had a great time!!

Rachel is still in need of prayer!! She is still in a lot of pain and has no idea what is causing the pain.
Mom needs prayer for strength and patience while dealing with the boys! They can be a bit of a handful and like to test boundaries.
