Description: On the Three Paper Peonies website there was a challenge to scrap about the things I've been focused on recently. Unfortunately a lot has been going on at my house, so instead of the normal fun stuff I concentrate on, I've been worrying. Getting this down on paper (well kinda) definitely helped.
Supplies: Miss Mint Bubble Wrap Paint, Three Paper Peonies Harvest Paper Pack, The Daily Digi #7 Template by Janet Phillips, and VT Portable Remington Font.
Journaling: 1. A lot of my time lately has been spent worrying, and with good reason. Lately Alexis has been bringing home really bad grades in English. I'm not sure she's keeping up at all in class because she's Dyslexic. I haven't been able to get a meeting with the school. I'm getting upset and concerned by the lack of help.
2. A few weeks ago I was sure that Lady needed to be put to sleep because she seemed to be in pain. She started getting better, but now all of the sudden she's coughing again. I don't want to be the one to have to make this decision. I'm concerned that I'll let her go on too long and that she'll hurt. I love her so much.
3. Brandon still isn't talking the way he's supposed to. He is saying a lot more, but still not as much as other children his age. Ronnie is not at all worried, but I am. I don't want him to be speech delayed when he starts school. The good thing is I KNOW he's smart. Ronnie says not to worry, but I can't help it.
4. My sweet Jordan. I worry about her daily. Her feet are hurting, and her CP doctor is talking about Botox or surgery in six months. I hope whatever we decide doesn't set her back. It's so hard to decide what's best for her.
I'm sure this isn't what she had in mind when she suggested the challenge of what I'm into lately, but honestly worrying has been my new habit, and it's the first thing that came to mind. So I went with it.

Oh HUGS to you Heather! I could really feel your journaling and I love that fact that you do journal. The design on this is just so perfect. Love the "bubble wrap" stuff!
OH!!! LET ME TELL YOU THAT MY DD IS DYSLEXIS TOO, AND I KNOW HOW HARD IS FOR HER WHEN SHE HAD TO READ, BUT SHE IS SO INTELIGENT. SHE BEGAN TO GET SOME BAD GRADES IN THIRD GRADE AND IT WAS SO FRUSTATING FOR HER, SO I DECIDE TO HELP HER, AND I BEGAN TO TEACH HER AT HOME, BECAUSE THE DYSLEXIS PEOPLE NEED MUCH TIME TO REALIZE SOME SCHOOL JOBS. NOW SHE IS IN 9TH GRADE AND, SHE HAS FANTASTICS GRADES (97%). BE PATIENT FOR HER BECAUSE IS SO HARD FOR HER.. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL KIDS...
wow wow wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing your layout and joining my challenge! I totally love your honesty about what has been your focus lately. It is a beautiful layout and I hope that your art will bring you some peace. =)
Hey, Remember I'm Dyslexic and have an undergrad in ENGLISH!! Spelling is just memorizing, which I didn't figure out till COLLEGE when I had to learn Spanish. I could spell better in Spanish than English. I had U's in spelling and spelling for other subjects brought my core grad down. it sucked. it really sucks when you think you're reading one thing and it's not the right thing. it really sucks when the order of words change the meaning of the sentence.
Depending on how bad, she may need her book/notes on tape. If she has a good teacher she can learn some other ways to 'learn'. It can be a hard slow battle. In third grade I had a wonderful teacher who took the time, and again in 4th, it took me two years to get back on track, but I did it.

I love your journaling! My heart goes out to you! Love the whole concept behind this. Unfortunately, you and I are in the same boat...I'm the worrier of the family as well and dh has this uncanny way of letting everything roll off his back! I'll keep you all in my prayers, Lady, too!
Oh, Heather, my heart goes out to you. I am also such a worrier also but things always seem to work out. Have faith, believe Ronnie and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
