My nephew RaShaun's blog ... inoperable tumor

My nephew RaShaun has an inoperable tumor in his body. He's the same age as my Callie ... almost 6. Rather than go into all the details, I helped his mom (my husband's sister and my sister-in-law, obviously!) set up a blog for him. Some of the posts are written from RaShaun's perspective, some from his sisters' or his brother's or his grandma's. They want to get the word out about this rare thing and try to find out if anyone else out there is struggling with something similar. They need support and they need prayers.


Head to http://www.rashaunjames.blogspot.com/. If you forget, it's down the left side of my blog on my blogroll (mess that it is; I desperately need to clean up my blogroll!!!).

Thanks!

Question for Geneen Roth

Here's a problem I have with food. I'm supposed to concentrate on what I'm eating and eat what my body wants, but when I'm at a family gathering and am focusing on the kids not breaking stuff, I just want to shove food in my mouth quickly to get it over with and then concentrate on keeping the kids from being too nuts.

OR ... the opposite of that ... I want to tune the kids out and hope Aron or someone else handles them while I really get into my huge plate of food.

Balance is always hard. More so with kids, I am taking a risk by saying.

Geneen, when are you going to write a book with the personal experiences of the moms who have been to your workshops? I could really  use it right now!

Treadmill for sale in KC

The library now closes at 6 on Fridays, so I had to run to get Aron's work key, then run to his work, and now Jordan has called to say Sam is crying, so I'm in a rush and can't sign up at Craigslit right now. Anyone want a treadmill? ProForm CrossWalk Plus circa 1997. Asking $75. Never had a problem with it, never replaced belt. Leave me a comment and I can grab it on here via my sitter's cell phone ... how lame is THAT?!

Thanks, bloggy friends! Oh, and must live in the KC area!
