Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!!!! My mom still hasn't said anything about the santas so I think a couple more will go out today. I am still battling a cold but I am slowly getting better. Today I have to go babysit my oldest niece for a couple of hours after she gets home from kindergarten while my sister takes my youngest niece down to the childrens hospital for some bloodwork. I also want to do some more christmas shopping this morning but first I need to decide what's for breakfast. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not A Good Day

Good morning, Christmas family. This is just not a good day. Everyone is all excited about Christmas and rightly so but today I am sad/anxious/worried. You name it and as long as it is a negative emotion I am it. Today we find out later on if the chemotherapy helped my stepson, DJ. I am so scared that it did not work. I need to be more trusting of God but I guess I fail in that regard as well as a multitude of other areas. Plus my kitty, Punkin', I think is on her last legs. Poor little thing only weighs 6 pounds and used to weigh 8 pounds. I just don't know what to do. Her doctor is on vacation for the next 2 weeks and while the other doctors at the practice are good, I feel lost without our regular vet. She has not been keeping anything down very well and I am so scared. I have been through this many, many times. I know that when it becomes "time" I will know. I just want her to be well so much and DJ too but I also know that things cannot always be good or turn out the way we want them to.

Please keep me/us in your thoughts today if you could. I will let everyone know at least with regard to DJ later on today.

Thank you everyone for letting me talk and thank you for paying attention to me. You make me feel like I matter.

Have a good day, Christmas family.

We are most definitely praying for you, sweet Christmas friend. I am really hoping you get some good news regarding DJ today and that Punkin' finds some strength and can pull through.
Big hugs to you.

I is hard to go through these times and being worried is a natural reaction. I will be praying for you that you will remain calm. Keep us posted.

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

My son is trying out for basketball this week. He's about as athletically inclined as his dad is (read: not much). I've never played sports or followed sports. I watch the Superbowl for the great chili and chip-n-dip, and the commercials. I hope it goes well for him, as he really wants to hang with his buddies. He has the heart, but he needs some more meat on his bones!

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

GLAD dj is in remission.

It is raining finally. aLL this after hubby wasted many gallons of water on the grass yesterday.

Tree is finally getting decorated but still looks half "naked". I am wanting to go curl up under my blankets today and not come out, just do not feel like doing ANYTHING today. We are going to the gym in 3 hours and I really do not feel like it but going to do it anyhow. Just one of those days where I honestly feel the Bah Humbugs coming on and I am so ashamed right now that I feel that way.
