Lets Give Thanks For a Major Miracle

Today a major miracle happened! A dear friend of Marie's got the gift of life. She had been waiting for a new heart for 5 months, slipping closer & closer to the time when she would not be available when a heart was found. At around 3 pm 0n November 14, she was notified that she had a heart. Today with in the body of this woman beats the heart of someone who had died tragically at a young age. So while we celebrate the new life of Barbara, we must also mourn the loss of a family member of the donor family. They suffered the untimely loss of someone special and had the foresight to respect that persons wishes to donate organs. How unselfish and loving these folks must be. I pray that God helps this family find closure and solice knowing that part of their loved one lives on in another.

What to give thanks for.

This is a great time of year and as our kids, large & small, look at the sale catalogues we should stop and really look at what we have to give thanks for. I have all the material things a girl could ask for, decent health, warm house, nice car, great kids, husband, strong faith, and lots of love of family and friends. So instead of moping around today and being all forlorn I think I'm going to pick myself up by my boot straps and say a prayer for all of those who are worse off than I, and accomplish one thing I normally wouldn't do. Have a great day.

Halloween?!!

Oh, that is just too funny that they got engaged on Halloween! Now I want details! Where were they? Was there a costume party involved? details, woman! I want details!
I just realized something today - there are only 50-something shopping days left until Christmas!! And when you take into consideration I'm surrounded by children 24/7, I hit a panic! Not to mention, I'm in the process of getting my child care through the accreditation process... so I'm swamped with a million thing. AND Vic is going to the dentist for braces so "Good-bye, you beautiful couple of thousand dollars!" Vic's mother is a LOSER and isn't contributing at all (SHOCK!) - she's barely paying the $30 a week in child support! And she called him the other day to talk about holidays coming up. Lucky for her Vic was standing there, so I had to stay nice while talking to her. I did say, "I thought you said you'd help pay for Vic's braces." She gave me a sob story about how she was unemployed. I said, "Regardless to whether or not you have a job, Vic still has needs. We see to those needs and YOU'RE supposed to help with that." More sob sob crap.. I swear she doesn't deserve him at all.
I could go on forever, so I'll spare you and stop now. Hope you all have a great day! Wish me sanity!
