hey all!

haven't been on in a couple of weeks. don't know how much more i can take in 2011! it's been a real tough year so far with losing my precious grandmother in january, my precious aunt in june and now my mother in law has just been diagnosed with cancer. as you can imagine my poor hubby is worried sick, we won't know exactly how serious it is until next week when she has further tests, but please god she'll get through this.

everytime i come on here lately i have bad news, sorry to put such a downer on things! i like to think of myself as a positive person and i am so looking forward to christmas, after everything i have been through this year i deserve an amazing one and that's what i'm going to get!

merry christmas in july!

If you cannot come to your friends, who can you come to? We will be praying for you and your family.

Johnor, I am very, very sorry. I will pray for Your mother in law. I will pray it was diagnosed early enough that it is treatable!!! I am sorry 2011 is so terrible for You and Your loved ones!!! As I said, I will pray for You and want You to know that You are in my thoughts

JOHNOR · Jul 25, 2011

thank you for all your support, it means alot. i'm being tested this year, that's for sure! but i'll get through, i'm so blessed in many ways.

getting stupidly excited for christmas, i just know this will be the best one ever. my daughter will be old enough to understand it more (she'll be 2 years and 3 months) and i can't wait to start the tradition of leaving a mince pie out for santa.

trackrebel · Jul 25, 2011

I hope you and you're family can turn a corner soon. Sounds like a very rough time.

Good morning everyone... Got to watch some of the QVC CIJ. The kids and I made a pumpkin pie and a summer berry pie yesterday and we watch the The Grinch lastnight. For some reason I am not much in the Christmas spirit this year. Lately we have been doing alot around the house plus getting things ready for our sons b-day party and our vacation so I have not had a whole lot of time to think about Christmas. I have actaully been looking forward more to fall ... the cool crisp temps, hay rides, apple and pumpkin picking, the bright colors of fall.

Well hope everyone has a great day!

OH MY GOODNESS - can't wait for all of that!!!

THEY SHOULD! They are the best!

Thinking of you during htis trying time. When it rains, it pours, huh??? I am glad you can still find some light during your hardship. Children are such a magical reminder what CHristmas (and life!) is all about!

We have thunder and lighting. Now will we get the rain to go with it?

There was a tornado that touched down a couple of counties away - that was the storm I saw on radar last night. We didn't get any rain, but had quite the light show.
