I'd pay for the postage! A friend of a friend needs them. Thanks! 2008-07-18 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sarahphim?l=5&entryID=498462 Oh, it's so sad to tell my parents good-bye. So sad to wave them down the driveway and come back to the empty room where we were visiting minutes ago. I hope one day we'll live a little closer together. But, on the positive side, I have been on my own with FOUR children for almost two hours now and nothing catastrophic has happened. One of them is even asleep. Also on the positive side, I have my sweet little Phoebe-Blossom snuggled in her Boppy on the couch beside me. She is wide awake and looking around. I think she's enjoying the sunshine and the wind chimes just outside the window. Lydia and Joseph have been having quiet time in separate beds, but I'm about to turn them loose and see if we can get some school work done. 2008-02-28 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sarahphim?l=5&entryID=463013 When my sister-in-law, Gloria, was here, she was telling me about Christians in Zimbabwe that are enduring a terrible famine. She said that it is so bad that mothers are feeding their children sand because there is just nothing else to give them. Gloria said that the best way they have found to send food was to get a $37 flat rate box from the Post Office (some sort of international Priority Mail rate, I think) and fill it with dried goods like beans, rice, evaporated milk and anything else that can be prepared with water. She said that packages can be sent directly to the Christians there and she can get you addresses if you are interested in helping. I just wanted to get this news out there. I had no idea that things were so bad and I knew that other people would probably want to help if they knew, too. Let Gloria know if you need more details or addresses. 2007-11-28 http://www.pleonast.com/user/sarahphim?l=5&entryID=401408 I decided to make my blog private.
