LAZY WEEKEND

WHAT A LAZY BUM I HAVE BEEN THIS WEEKEND. I DIDNT WORK FRIDAY AND REALLY DIDNT ACCOMPLISH MUCH AROUND HERE AT HOME BUT THE BASICS. I DID GET TO PURCHASE A FEW CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR THE KIDS THOUGH. THATS ALWAYS FUN TIL YOU RUN OUT OF MONEY..LOL. SATURDAY I WORKED TILL 3. HAD A POT OF CHILI ON ALL DAY WHILE I WAS WORKING SO DINNER WAS DONE. AND THEN MANAGED TO RENT A COUPLE OF MOVIES FOR THE FAMILY TO WATCH. CLINT DECIDED TO STAY IN LAST NIGHT FROM THE HUNTING DUE TO RAINY WEATHER. MEAN WHILE THE THINGS I REALLY WANTED TO DO WENT UNDONE FOR THE TIME BEING...... IT FEELS GOOD TO JUST FORGET EVERYTHING ONCE IN A WHILE. BUT THE BAD THING IS IT DOESNT GO AWAY WHEN YOU RETURN TO REALITY. THE DOWNSTAIRS NEEDS TO BE CLEANED AND READY FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER. I LOVE COOKING AND SETTING A BEAUTIFUL TABLE SETTING FOR THE KIDS WHEN THEY COME HOME FOR DINNER. I MAKE THEM ALL WRITE DOWN ONE THING THEY ARE THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR, AND SOMEBODY ELSE HAS TO READ IT. THE LITTLE KIDS GET A LITTLE SILLY BUT ITS STILL A FUN THING TO DO. I TRY AND KEEP THE LITTLE PAPERS FROM THE YEARS GONE BY JUST TO LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING YEARS. THIS YR THE HOLIDAYS ARE ON THURSDAY BOTH DAYS . AND I HAVE TO SPEND ALL DAY WED. WITH MOM AND I HAVE TO WORK BOTH MONDAYS BEFORE TO MAKE UP FOR THE DAYS I TAKE OFF AFTER THE HOLIDAYS, SOOOO.. I HAVE TO HAVE MOST THINGS DONE AND PREPARED THE WEEKEND BEFORE. ITS GOING TO BE A BUSY TIME BUT THATS THE STORY OF MY LIFE BUSY BUSY. I GUESS I GET BETTER UNDER PRESSURE... BECAUSE JUST SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT IT GETS NOTHING DONE..LOL. I REALLY WANT TO HAVE ALL THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FOR OUTSIDE HUNG BEFORE THANKSGIVING, SO WHEN THEY ALL LEAVE THAT NIGHT I CAN TURN THEM ON AND LET THE GRANDKIDS GET ALL EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS TIME AT GRAMMAS. IF YOU KNOW ME YOU KNOW I LIKE TO DECORATE AND MAKE IT A WINTER WONDERLAND AT THE HOLIDAYS... TIMES ARE TIGHT NOW A DAYS AND I HOPE THIS WILL MAKE ALOT OF PEOPLE REALISE THAT ITS NOT THE MATERIAL THINGS THAT MAKE IT CHRISTMAS. ITS CHRIST BIRTH, THE TRUE MEANING OF THE DAY IS ALL ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS. WE ALL NEED TO GET BACK TO THE TRUE REASON OF THE SEASON THIS HOLIDAY. SURE ITS NICE TO GIVE A GIFT, BUT EVEN NICER TO KNOW THAT THIS TINY BABY THAT WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM MANY YEARS AGO, IS OUR ONLY HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. LETS ALL PRAY THAT THIS WILL BE THE YEAR THAT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL OPEN UP THEIR HEARTS TO THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS....AMEN ANOTHER IDEA FOR PEOPLE WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE... DO WHAT WE ARE DOING AT OUR SALON....ADOPT A FAMILY IN NEED THIS CHRISTMAS, ITS A WONDERFUL FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE TRULY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEBODYS LIFE THAT IS HAVING REAL HARD TIMES . GOD HAS BLESSED US ALL WITH SO MUCH ITS WEIGHS ON YOUR CONSCIENCE NOT TO GIVE BACK. IF ANYONE HAS EMPTY SHOE BOXES, FILL THEM UP WITH SUPPLIES THAT CAN BE SENT TO THE STATES THAT HAVE BEEN HIT BY HURRICANES, PERSONAL NEEDS, SEWING ITEMS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES, SOCKS /GLOVES, HATS, ANYTHING THAT WILL FIT THAT CAN BE OF PRACTICAL USE. HOW DEVISTATING IT MUST BE TO HAVE A HOME ONE DAY AND THEN THE NEXT HAVE IT COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED BY A STORM. WE NEED TO KEEP THESE PEOPLE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ALSO. THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO GIVE THIS CHRISTMAS...AND DONT FORGET THE OLD NEWSBOYS OUT THERE . LETS ALL MAKE A PROMISE TO PUSH OURSELVES A LITTLE HARDER THAN USUAL TO HELP OTHERS THIS YEAR.......REMEMBER WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.....

PRAY FOR DIANE

I TALKED TO DIANE ON WEDNESDAY. SHE SOUNDED GOOD BUT I COULD TELL SHE WAS IN ALOT OF PAIN. SHE WAS DOING LAUNDRY, JUST TRYING TO FEEL AS NORMAL AS SHE CAN WITH EVERY DAY LIFE. GOD BLESS HER. I CHATTED A WHILE AND LEARNED SHE IS TRYING TO CONTACT A CANCER CENTER OUT OF TOWN THAT WITH PAY ALL COST FOR HER TO FLY OUT SO THEY CAN SEE IF THEY CAN DO ANYTHING MORE , THEY ARE EXPERIMENTING WITH DIFFERENT THINGS AND HAVE HAD A DECENT SUCCESS RATE. SHE MAINLY WANTS TO GO TO THE HEALING CHAPEL THERE. I HOPE THEY ACCEPT HER AND IT WITH BRING GOOD NEWS. SHE HAS LOST MORE WIGHT NOW DOWN TO 110 LBS. AND HAD 4 LITERS DRAINED FROM HER ABDOMEN AGAIN THIS WEEK. IT TAKES A BIT OF DISCOMFORT FROM HER BUT ONLY FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THE PAIN GETS SO INTENSE AND LAST FOR HOURS. PAIN MEDS DONT SEEM TO HELP MUCH IF ANY. AND SHE WILL NOT GIVE UP THE PAIN TO MORPHINE JUST YET. SHE SAYS JESUS IS HER PAIN MEDICINE. SHE WAS A LITTLE DOWN AND THINKING ALOT OF THINGS, DEPRESSION, LACK OF ENERGY, SAD, AND LONELY AT TIMES. THOSE OF YOU WITH CANCER CAN RELATE IM SURE. BUT IN THE SAME BREATH SHE PRAISES GOD FOR STILL ALLOWING HER TO BE WITH HER FAMILY. SHE IS SO BRAVE AND SUCH A WITNESS TO US ALL BY STANDING BY HER FAITH IN GOD. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE BELIEVES GOD IS HEALING HER BODY THIS VERY DAY AND SHE WILL NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING ELSE. I LOVE HER SO AND PRAY ALSO FOR GOD TO CONTINUE TO CLEANSE HER BODY. PRAY THAT THE CANCER FACILITY WILL CALL HER WITH GOOD NEWS ON ACCEPTING HER THERE AND THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO SURROUND HER WITH COMFORT AND LOVE.

LIFE IS BUSY

WOW, ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE IVE BEEN ON HERE SO WHERE DO I BEGIN.....MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING WENT GREAT. EVERYTHING FELL IN PLACE AND IT WAS A NICE DAY (WITH NO RAIN) THANK GOD. SHE LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL, AND MIKE WAS SO HANDSOME, THEY MAKE A GREAT COUPLE. WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TURN OUT WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. EVERYBODY THERE HAD TO TRAVEL BETWEEN 4 TO 6 HRS JUST TO BE THERE. AND THERE WERE AROUND 165PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED. WE REALLY APPRECIATED EVERYBODY TAKING THE TIME AND THE MONEY TO ENJOY HER SPECIAL DAY. THE FOOD WAS DELISH, & THE STEAKS COVERED HALF THE PLATE AND WERE COOKED TO PERFECTION. I THINK EVERYONE WAS SURPRISED AT HOW BIG THEY WERE. THE MUSIC WAS FUN AND THE BALLROOM WAS GORGEOUS. ILL TRY TO POST A FEW PICS BUT DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT IM DOING YET AS FAR AS THAT GOES. ALL IN ALL IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY, THE SUN EVEN CAME OUT FOR SOME FALL PICTURES OUTSIDE, WHICH IS WHAT SHE WANTED. SHE TOLD ME, MOM I FEEL SO BEAUTIFUL, JUST LIKE CINDERELLA. AND SHE WAS AND IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. I COULDNT BE MORE PROUD OF HER. THEY HONEYMOONED IN MEXICO AND HAD A BLAST. I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE VIDEO AND ALL THE PICTURES. THE PHOTOGRAPHER TOOK OVER 4,000 PICTURES, UNBELIEVABLE. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SITTING DOWN WITH EVERYONE TO SEE THEM.
