I just wanted to see how everyone's weekend is going so far? Mine has been pretty good. The girls and I spent most of the day going to yard sales and things like that. Buying a bunch of crap I don't need but of course cannot live without! We spent part of the afternoon sitting in a drizzle of rain watching Haley's (Caleb's girlfriend) soccer game. He spent the entire day there with her and he has been on the phone with her for over 4 hours!!!!!! AH, to be young again! Robbie worked today and now he is over at one of his friends house playing poker (hopefully winning me some $$$$).

I have a favor to ask of you all... I have a cousin who is 25 and she is in the hospital and I need everyone to say a prayer for her. She has been sick most of her adult life. She was a heathly girl growing up and then when she went to college she started having seizures. They finally found out she has Lupus and Chrone's (spelling??) disease. She weighs about 70 pounds ( and she is like 5'9", so you can imagine how she looks) but they had her in the ICU a few weeks ago and normally she refuses to let anyone in the family to see her but she knows she's dying so she had requested the family come. She got a wee bit better and now she has blood clots in both legs, an infection in her heart, she can't even eat and is being given baby formula. She is listed as critical. So, if you all could just say a liitle prayer for her it would mean a lot to me!

I am sure some of you are wondering about my turn in religion??? (For those who don't know before I was exploring Wicca) I was raised Baptist, but got away from it as I got older. Then I started doing to exploring and discovered Wicca. Well, on September 30 (of last year) Chesney gave us a scare. She came and got in bed w/ us about 6 in the morning, and all was fine. A few minutes later she made a noise like she was going to be sick so I told Robbie to carry her to living room (as I'm sure most of you know puke is easier to clean off the floor than a matress!). As he was walking thru the hallway w/ her we both said "Something's wrong" She was totally stiff and her face was gray and her lips blue. Her eyes were wide open and unresponsive. We put her down on the couch and we thought maybe she was choking so we tried to sweep her mouth but her jaw was locked 100%. We were screaming in her face and she was looking right thru us. Robbie yelled for me to call 911 so I ran and got the phone and just stood there w/ it. He grabbed the phone and called them. While he was on the phone with them her head turned sideways and started jerking and white foam came out of her mouth and I screamed for him to tell 911 that I thought she was having a seizure. Turns out she did. I realizeed that the entire time all this went on (and it went on for over 10 minutes) that I had been praying. Without even realizing that I was doing it at the time I turned back to the person who was waiting for me to come back to Him. I know it sounds kinda hokey but it's true. We found out she has epilepsy and they said it was a miracle the she didn't suffer any brain damage because it lasted so long. She had to go the Children's Hospital in an ambulance and she was not happy about that!!!!! But, that moment was probably THE MOST TERRIFYING moment in my life and I don't EVER want to feel that way again! But, I just wanted to explain so those of you who know me didn't think I was some kind of flake who was doing Wicca to be "cool" or whatever.

Well, it's getting late and I need to see if I can get Caleb and Haley off the phone!!! Hope y'all have a great Sunday tomorrow! I am getting up and making French Toast. :)YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

God Bless
