God looked down from Heaven above,
Saying I need someone with a perfect love.

She must be patient and sweet and kind,
and use her sensible, open mind.

She needs her hands and heart and soul.
because she will travel a long ,lonely road.

For the child that I send her will be special indeed,
and She is the one who will fill all their need.

She will have to have the strength of a rock,
For the pain she will witness she can never stop.

The child that I send her will be hers for a while,
Before they travel that long lonely mile,

Then when I call, the child must return,
leaving her there all alone him to mourn.

For the child will be there for a very short time,
Then return here to Heaven and again will be Mine.

Then She has to realize just how special she was
Cause I chose Her for her pure sweet love.

She was the one who was above all the best,
To love one of My Angels until she put him to rest.

You were chosen to be the Mother of one of God's Angels

I read this on a page that belonged to a mother who had lost a child, and this about says it all. So here's to all the special moms out there that have lost a child to death of any kind.

Hello again, sorry it has been so long since I last posted, but I got sick the day after my birthday, and have been struggling every since. My allergies flared up real bad, causing my asthma to flare as well. I went to the doctors, and got a shot, and they realized that my blood sugar was out of whack and put me on more meds and stuff and since then it has been a roller coaster ride. My sugars have been up and down and driving me crazy. They dropped far enough to make me feel like I was going to pass out while I was at the store, and when I got home and tested, my sugar was at 79. At 70 my doctor wants me at his office, so I ate and kept an eye on it. It has been better for the last couple of days, but I have to really watch my eating habits and make sure I do not skip a meal, that is for sure. I am still a little weak from it all, and still battling with it, but I am dealing with it. When I get it under control, I will start exercising again and maybe I can drop enough weight so that I can get off some of these medicines again. I hate not being able to eat the stuff I really like, carbs of course, but I guess I will just have to get used to more veggies and less starches. Oh well, that's life.

Other than health stuff, things are going well here. Today is B.J.'s last full day of school for the summer. She goes for about an hour and a half tomorrow and then she is out until sometime in August. It is hard to believe that she will start high school next year, oh to be a Freshman again.

My husband and I are doing okay, and life is good for the most part. Of course with the gas prices so high and getting higher, and expenses starting to follow suit, it is hard and I may have to get a job real soon. But we will manage with God's help. So life goes on.

I hope life is good for you all, may God Bless and Keep you all Happy and Healthy.

Well, It is my Birthday!

Well, it is my birthday today. It really doesn't feel much different than every other day. There is still laundry to wash, meals to cook, and dishes to do. There is activities I need to be at for B.J., and of course I am waiting for Becky to call and ask for something. Just another day I guess. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do much today except for B.J.'s award ceremony, but no, I have way to much to do or I will have to work twice as hard tomorrow. Oh well, that is the life of a mother I guess. We have teen meal tonight before our Church services, and I have to bake some cookies for that as well as go to the bank and stuff to get ready for B.J.'s trip with the Beta Club tomorrow. She will leave from school at noon, and they will return on Saturday night, late. Her bronchitis is better and she sounds and feels a lot better. I will still worry a lot while she is on her trip, but she has the right to go and have fun and be a kid. She has been on honor roll every grading period this year, All A's, and I am very proud of her. I will post sometime later tonight and let you all know what award she receives.
God Bless,
Judy

The award that B.J. received is a plaque for placing in the top ten of her class, she placed 7TH! I am so proud of her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a Birthday Present!!!

Wow

Wow! It is hard to believe that in 2 more days I will be 44 years old. I still feel like it hasn't been that long since I graduated High School, but I have 2 kids that have graduated High School, and one that will start 9TH grade next year. Talk about reality check! HAHAHA! But I am feeling well, and doing okay. Going to Church, helping there whenever I can, and taking care of my family. Oh yeah, I have also been knitting. I have completed one baby afghan, and started another one. I have a friend who's daughter is expecting her first child, so I am making afghans again. The first one I did is a green one, and now I am working on a pink one, this way, no matter what the sex of the baby is, I will be prepared and have one ready to give to them. I am also going to try to work on getting my yarn supply down a little. I have a lot of types that I don't have enough to do a complete project, so I am going to start some scrap yarn afghans when I complete the baby ones. So, now you know where my mind is lately, NEEDLE WORK! Love it.

B.J. has bronchitis again. I had to take her to the doctors this morning, and since she just had antibiotics last week for sinuses and sore throat, they decided to give her shots this time. She was MAD to say the least. She hates shots, but with her Beta Club Trip this Thursday, it was either a shot or she would have to miss her trip. Man she hated the choices, but I let her and the doctor know that there really wasn't a choice, if oral meds didn't work last week and caused it to drop into her lungs and turn into bronchitis, than it was time to get it under control with the shots. I don't like playing with lung issues with her, she has asthma, and if we don't keep things under control, it will get bad real quick. I have asthma, and I will do everything in my power to keep hers under control because I know from experience how it feels to not be able to get enough oxygen into your body. It is a really bad feeling, and I know she has been there before, but I will do my best to not let her get there again. It is to scary. People tend to think that asthma is a common thing and no big deal. But in reality, even though it is more common now, it can be very deadly if not managed properly. It has to be controlled, and watched very vigilantly. Okay, I am getting off the soap box now! HA, sorry about that, I get wound up sometimes.

Other than that, things here are okay, and life is good. Of course, of you truly believe, than life is always good! Maybe not always easy, and hard to see as good when hard times and fears hit, but it is good. If we believe, than we can trust that life will be as God wants it to be, and we will understand when He feels it is time. May God bless you all in every way, and may you open your heart and life to Him.

In Christian Love,
Judy
