The Job is OVER!!!!

Well, I know it has been a while, 7 days at least. This was supposed to be my last day of work. I was supposed to work from 4:30 - 7:30. My boss called this morning. Woke me up out of a sound sleep. I was in the middle of a dream where I was getting a massage. Anyway, she had a few questions fro me and then she said not to bother coming in tonight. She had "accidentally" scheduled too many people for this evening so I didn't have to come in. I don't mind but I didn't get to say good bye. Also, I had also left a library book there so I went in right around lunch time to pick it up. I also had a small bag of simple gifts to give to the girls I worked with. I dropped those off too. I explained to one of the girls that I would be back when I knew the boss wouldn't be there to say goodbye to everyone.
So, tomorrow, I am going to make pizza for supper and Marcus and family are coming fro supper so we will celebrate then!
I am pretty tired so as soon as the kids are done eating, I will lay down fro a little while since I don't have to worry about getting supper ready early.

Good morning

I turned my alarm off this morning and went back to bed. I woke up 6 minutes before I had to have Daniel outside waiting for the school bus! OOPS! Well, we got out there in plenty of time and as we were waiting, Daniel saw an airplane up high in the sky. He made sure that I had seen it and then asked," How did it get up there?" duh....... It goes fast and has really big engines, is what I told him but he just kind of stared at it like he didn't understand how those two things could keep it up in the air. Personally, I don't understand either but I have seen them fly so I know something keeps them up there. Maybe it is the hand of God. I like that idea. I know it has a lot to do with Physics and Science but I don't understand how it all works. I expect Daniel will be able to tell me how the airplanes stay up all by himself in a few years.
My dad is doing okay. He didn't have a good day yesterday until the evening. Mom seems to be holding up good too. If she has to be up late she gets lonely but other then that, she is good.
If you want more specifics, as me for the website for my Dad.

News on my father

Hello all. This past Friday my father went into the hospital with a really bad cough and severe fatigue. Everyone assumed heart trouble since he has a history of heart trouble. However in doing the many batteries of blood tests, they found Acute Leukemia. After a CAT scan on Friday night they started him on Chemo pills right away. The doctors have been floored at how well Daddy has responded. His white blood count dropped phenomenally. Yesterday he had a bone marrow biopsy and tomorrow he has an consultation with the bone doctor and probably a few other doctors. My sister will be there for the consultation so she will be able to take notes and keep us better informed.
I will be setting up a website for him. It will be a site you can go to, in order to get updates on how Dad is doing.
One more thing, my husband's grandmother, who's pictures are below and who's birthday we went out to Indiana to celebrate is dying. Her stomach has shut down. Please pray for the Wesner Family. Aunt Bev who is handling most of the burdern, Grandpa, and Grandma and also the family that is far away.

Because of all this going on right now, my websites will be sadly neglected.
Thank you so much for your prayers!

More News

Well, Friday, the kids and I made the trip down to Mom and Dad's. The original reason was supposed to be to help put up their tree. Well early in the week I made the decision to get one of my wisdom teeth pulled. It was giving me a little bit of grief but I figured it was as good a time as any. I had been told 5 years ago that they were going to need to come out. Well, the visit went great. I tried not to get too worked up about it since I knew there were needles involved and you hear tons of horrible stories about it. So any way, Daddy took me and waited with me. He said he would sit and listen to the screams. Not very comforting. However, the worst part was the needle and even that wasn't too bad. However, knowing it was coming made me feel light headed and nauseated. Once he got the novacaine in it was a piece of cake! He did some pulling and pushing to loosen it up and popped it right out. I didn't feel a thing except some pressure from the pulling and pushing. I told him it was one of the best experiences in a dentists chair I had ever had. Shocking, I know! It only cost me $60 too! That was the best part! So now it is Monday and I am still taking Tylenol for the dull ache which feels like a tension headache that has dropped down into my jaw. I called the office and just to be on the safe side they called in an antibiotic for me and told me to use hot compresses. Doug is coming home early today to use up the rest of his bonus days before the end of the year. He needs to do some more work on his class work for tonight.
Danny caught a cold. It pretty much hit him fast on Saturday while we were at my parents. We kept him home from church. Kali and I went but I didn't get to attend the service because Kali decided she wasn't going to go to Junior Church. Started crying and everything! I guess she was extra tired from being up so late the night before. (We had my father in laws birthday party on Saturday night.) So I decided to just go home. We got part way home and she changed her mind. I refused to turn around though. Doug sent me back on Sunday night since I don't get to church much since I am working. I didn't get much out of that either since my lack of tooth was bothering me so much. Oh well. I wont be working for much longer and I will celebrate the day I am done! Danny stayed home from school today to give him an extra day to recover. He seems to be feeling better. I thought school might be canceled anyway since we got some snow but it wasn't enough to cancel school for any reason other then problems withe heat or electricity. Oh well!
I don't think there is much other news right now.

Just a little note.

Hey all,
Monday night Doug and I made the decision for to quit my job. Daniel has been showing signs of regression and me working is the only thing that we can figure to attribute it to. He is still doing great but things that he could do three weeks ago, or two months ago, he is refusing to do, or can't do. This has caused some major stress in my life and Doug said that no one was happy with me working and it was just adding stress to our lives. I had to agree. I still need to make the decision as to when to tell my boss. Oddly enough today is my 90 day anniversary. I should be getting a raise. I feel bad and want to giver her a lot of time to replace me but I am afraid that if I tell her now, she will give me a hard time for the whole month that I have left there. Please pray that God will give me wisdom in this situation. My last day will be around the end of the year. I hope to be able to keep the friends I have made.
One more thing. The problems that have been going on with my dad seem to be over. He was having an allergic reaction to the fish oil pills he was taking in order to drop his triglycerides. Thanks for praying for him too. I'll write again soon!

He's got a grasp on what is important.

Literally!

Kali looks as if she isn't quite sure who
it was that she was sitting with when
she was on Grandpa's lap. I think
Doug just caught her in an odd moment.
It is still very funny!

Danny with Grandpa and Grandma

Darth Kali!

Yes! Cousin Paul was Darth Vader for his school Halloween party. He already had the helmet. Kali found it while she was playing. She came out with only the face part on. Danny had the top helmet part on. We had him give it to Kali. I cracked up when I saw her though. It was hilarious. The panel hanging fromt eh face mask makes the breathing sounds and says some of the key lines from the movies. It also alters the voice of the person speaking from the inside of the helmet. She kept saying "Danny and Kali". She also didn't have very good peripheral visions so she kept falling over things that were on the floor. Including people! It really was very funny!
