Feeling Better....

It's been awhile since I've updated. I've been fighting something for over a week and it's has taken all the energy from me. I finally went to the Doctor on Thursday and he is thinking more asthma over anything else. I'm on an antibiotic since my lungs are a mess right now and an inhaler. But I'm really having a hard time taking the inhaler. Mom was on this exact same one. I know it is stupid, but I can't bring myself to use it. I know it will help break up what is in my lungs but today is Sunday and I've yet to use it. I even have mom's cough - and I hate that. I've done nothing to intentionally hurt my lungs and for the last year I can't get them healthy. Oh well, maybe today will be the day.

I've got so much to update! Let' see...

I'm FINALLY getting moving on my BIG cross stitching project. Well, I've got everything back together and I need to start working on it. AND...remember I said I want to make bookmarks for the ladies at the Great Banquet in October? Well, I'm working with a lady I met via E-Bay and I rec'd my first order of bookmarks. Here is the bookmark that' I'm making. We went simple style (because I have to make about 80 of them) and elegant:

I wanted to do something on the theme of God's Grade and my E-Bay friend came up with this. Here is the first shipment of them...yes, 25. I want to do 25 of them this month and then 25 in July, 25 in August and 25 in September. I did it as much for the spacing of doing them as well as the cost - I can save up in between orders!

I *plan* on working on them here and there when I have a few moments. My big project is one that will need to take planned time to get it done - blocks of hours. And I also need to make sure I have time to get it framed!!

Oh! Here is a picture of the one that I made for a friend a few weeks ago. It is a different type of bookmark it gave me more room stitch on:

I ordered Roller Coaster Tycoon and I'm really enjoying playing it again! Although I do have to share the computer with the boys. My thought is that Andrew gets it each morning, Michael in the afternoon and I get it in the evening!!! Sounds fair, right?? :) Last night they started bellyaching about 7pm about dinner...my thought is that they BOTH know how to cook, but I got up and fixed dinner. It wasn't done until almost 9pm, but they sure ate well!!

I'm going to WW again. I joined (thanks to a friend) at her work but with all the changes at work I haven't been able to go for over a month. It was nice to know that when I did go back I had still lost a tiny bit of weight. I found out there is one closer to work, so I might just go to that one starting in a few weeks. I was doing good on the treadmill for a while, but with me not feeling well, well, I haven't been on it in a week. I hope my energy comes back soon.

Andrew is doing well. He REALLY needs to get a job. He is going to apply across the street at Marsh (O'Malia's) and I hope they at least have him come in for an interview. The more practice the better. AND I know they will make sure he is a hard worker. That is what I want for him. Well, I really want him to get a job there!

We have a mouse in the house. The cats have been sitting in the kitchen watching under the sink. Well, Tanner caught the mouse today and started to come into the living room with it. I wanted her to go outside with it, but I got her in the basement. Well, we weren't paying attention and she brought it back up here. And then it got lose!!! We tried to corner it again but it got away. So now I have to go get some traps. I hope it is only one mouse!!!

That is about it for tonight....I went to the grocery store today and I'm going to come up with something for dinner. Nothing too hard, that is for sure!!

Do keep little Camryn in your prayers please. She is an amazing little girl fighting a hard battle. The next 100 days are critical to see if this transplant is going to work. Please please please pray!!!
