Dear Journal~
Hi! This is Ronee' Le-Anne. I am doing much better; I was sick, but I am juat about recovered. (I had a flare of my JRA. I haven't had one of those in a very long time; I forgot just how bad they made me feel! *ow*) I was sick on Friday and Saturday, and I still felt lousy on Sunday morning, so I ended up missing church. I was so mad; I absolutely hate missing church!
I also wasn't feeling too swift yesterday because we had severe weather all day, and my nerves are a wreck. I am glad the heavy weather has moved on, but whenever I heard those darn tornado sirens going on and off all day, I was more than a little nervous! I absolutely abhor severe weather!!
Today, I am doing so much better. I still feel a bit on the sore side, but it is much better than it was! I am doing better than my brother, Johnny: Johnny is having more in the way of weakness, and he is having more problems with his breathing (and with his swallowing); it is really scary! He sees his muscular dystrophy doctor tomorrow; I just wonder what is going to happen to him---I worry about him so much!
Johnny's girlfriend, Rebekkah Cohen, isn't doing well either. She has pain insensitivity disorder (shc can't feel pain; that would be sooo nice!!), and if she bangs her leg or arm or falls, she can get an infection somehow; it's really weird. She is 12, and she is a ballerina star in the making: she absolutely lives for ballet!
Rebekkah has been in the hospital, and there is talk that she may end up losing her leg. I hope not; that would absolutely devastate her (and Johnny)! I will have to pray extra hard for her tonight and in the coming days!
Maman is still busy writing her letters, and she just found out that her fourth book is due to come out later this year or early in 2007. She wrote a children's book about our family. I hope to read it when it comes out! :) I am so happy for her! :)
I wrote a second book too, about living with chronic disability (not just me, but also my brothers and sisters, too), and I wonder if the manuscript has been accepted (or not). I hope it is; I would absolutely cry if I was rejected!!
I can't wait until Friday, March 17--it is St. Patrick's Day, and our school is having a party complete with St. Paddy's Day treats and Irish music! Than that night, we are going to a huge St. Patrick's Day Fest (I am performing there in the evening; I will be doing Cajun music, no less! LOL), and I will get to feast on Irish food and hear that wonderful Celtic music that gets the Irish side of me soaring!! :) (I am part Irish, on my birth mama's side; I also have Spanish, Cherokee Indian, and African American in me besides the Cajun French.) I went to the Irish celebraton last year, and I had a blast!! :) I sure love to watch those Irish stepdancers, and I love the sound of an Irish fiddle and bagpipe! It's too cool! :)
I am sure that soon at church we will be starting to work on our songs for the upcoming Easter Cantata. I will probably be involved in that somehow; seems that Pastor Bilkey always tags me to do a solo in there somehow. The Easter Cantata is always a huge deal at Christ Community Assembly of God Church! :) And the church is always packed at Easter time! :)
Well, I think the bus should be coming in fifteen minutes, so I'd better get my stuff and go wait for it. I will write in here again. Take care, o dear journal! C ya!

Better to hear tornado sirens, rather than air raid sirens, at least we can sleep peacefully in our beds at night, knowing our Government has got it right on Defense and National Security !
Enjoy the leprechauns and shamrock on St Patrick's Day !
Love and Hugs
Peter

I'm glad Ronee is feeling better. :) An excellent write--you do these journal entries so well; they are entertaining and reveal private thoughts in a clever and unique way. Well done!
Patrick is just about to celebrate his second birthday, and all of a sudden, he is afraid of the dark. What happens next offers a wonderful respite for siblings to learn. This book is a Mom’s Choice Awards® Silver seal of excellence Recipient in fam
This book was written for children to stress the importance of being able to choose who gets to hug or touch them and being able to say NO if they don't want to be hugged or touched.
