About Morning Knits

I believe in and practice positive living. I love YARN, cooking, music, bird watching, herbs, and gardening. I am passionate about YHWH the Elohim of all the earth. I believe it's our responsibility to tend that earth. I basically do my thing in a quiet, amused way. I believe in laughter, and the power of combined prayer. I am a true homebody. I have 6 kids, all home-born and successfully breastfed. They are all grown. I'm the oldest of 9, daughter of a missionary mother who lives in Kenya, and I have a spoiled service dog and 2 rescued cats. Right now, there is balance after yrs of unemployment. My disability was approved due to degenerative discs, fibromyalgia, and obesity. That last is hard to say. I believe we owe it to ourselves to protect our mental health. It's precious and the one thing we can control. I would rather not do my own housework and I talk too much. I bought a house in North Carolina which I ended up leaving for my husband to sell. I'm a two-time caregiver. My husband and I are separated due to stroke complications and personality difficulties. I am in Texas now. The one place on earth I said I'd never go unless Yah moved me there and HERE I AM! G and I are sharing a small apartment and so far, things are going well.

battling sleep monsters

I sent the last round of requested paperwork over to BOA last night. The lady said they were late but she’d just asked for them on Friday night. I think it was her way of saying it’s not gonna matter. … Continue reading

well…

We turned in the paperwork for restructuring the loan but haven’t heard a peep back from BOA or the lady who picked up the papers. I figure things are either going to get a reprieve, or go bad fast. Our … Continue reading

I don’t know what to title this

The taxes are done – thanks Melissa. I never could figure out the Turbo tax link without deleting everything. We owed nothing this year and get nothing back because Foodstamps cancel out the Earned Income credit. The notice from the … Continue reading

still hanging

No answers yet. Trying not to begin packing too soon or too late. I know I can handle what comes and still find smiles, but I know my husband won’t. He still won’t discuss anything about loosing the house. So … Continue reading

referals

Took 3 years to get medicaid for us, and now that we have it, I keep thinking ‘what the hell’. I’m anemic with a vitD deficiency. Steve’s got high blood pressure and high cholesterol, hypothyroid, and enlarged prostate. Both of … Continue reading

I guess I’m hiding.

Had another row with hubby. He blames me for the money mess – I’m tired of being blamed. WE, TOGETHER, should have been more careful, but no one could have planned for this situation. We got 7 of 8 kids … Continue reading

sometimes it feels…

like everything is an extreme. I have to stop letting stuff jerk me around. I have the best friends, and there are things important to our lives that are in our control.

begging

do you have any idea how it feels to beg someone to let you barter with them for your child’s care? I have office skills, I will clean their house. I’ll work their garden, I’ll knit something wonderful…. I’ll do … Continue reading

medicaid cards and state stuff

I spent an hour trying to get a lady to talk to me and stop reading her ‘script.’ I have to choose an Insurance that the new Medicaid will be umbrella’d by. They all looked pretty much the same to me. … Continue reading
