update

just have a quick few minutes to update on what I have been doing. Things have been crazy busy here with the fall canning, baking, schoolwork, etc. We have had several of our "upkeep" appointments this month as well....all the kids had to see the eye doctor and yes, all of them needed glasses (not unexpected), then we had the dentist appointments, and next week we have spanky's diabetes appt. so we have been running alot. We also have been living on a weird time schedule that I have finally decided to change.....our days have been running from 9 or 10 in the morning to about midnight and I want to get back to the 7 am to 9 pm schedule if I can but it seems our life just runs at the odd hours more. I am not even sure I should change it although I feel like I "ought" to because so many folks act shocked when they find out how our day goes. We, unfortunately, have a person in our church that is a public school teacher and she thinks that everyone should go by the 8 to 3 school schedule. I don't know why I let that get to me. Our schedule is fine the way it is but I still feel like maybe I should go back to the more traditional times....maybe not thought. It does work for our family.
We have had some issues at our church lately, too. One big one is that someone in the church keeps insisting on dusting the pews with Liquid Gold furniture polish. My son is allergic to nuts and the almond oil in the LG really trigger a reaction from him. Thankfully we haven't had to use the epi but still....we have asked repeatedly that they not dust with it, it was removed from the cleaning cabinet and yet, someone keeps using it. That someone is well aware of the nut allergy and the LG issue. It makes me wonder exactly what she is trying to do? So anyhow, until the issue is permanently resolved he will be going to church with my inlaws whose church is Peanut/treenut free due to a child with nut allergies. Atleast I know he will be safe there. I hate to do it, but until this issue is resolved I have to keep my son safe.
We don't ask that our church be a nut free zone, that simply wouldn't be feasible for everyone in the church to go to the extremes that we adhere to. I would never expect anyone to do that, but I don't think I am asking to much by asking them to use one of the other dozen dusting products in the churches cleaning cabinet to dust with. Really, is that being unreasonable? Its not like I am saying that anyone can not bring things with nuts into the church. Heck, on Monday night we had a ladies thing and one of the ladies brought cookies with walnuts in them and I was in heaven because i can not have them at home or around my son. I don't get upset about that stuff because he doesn't come into contact with it....but the pews? C'mon, we sit in them 3 times a week.
Well, now that I ranted instead of sharing, I guess I will get off my soap box and get back to work.
Y'all have a nice day!!!
