Well, hello, everyone
! We had a busy weekend, but it sounds like we weren't the only ones who did
Ginny-congrats on the weight loss!
It's always great to have a losing week, unless it's football, of course.
Very sorry about the job situation, but you're right-God is in control and will always help with your needs (enough hours at work and finances). Prayers continuing for the situation
Counting-glad you made it home safely and had a nice trip-lost weight too-
It's nice when your 'new' eating is enough of a habit that you can lose even in different surroundings and situations!
Gary-so very sorry about your brother's dog. I'm sure they were very glad you could be there to help out, even though it turned out so sad. Glad, though, that you got to spend time with the kids and the baby! I'm sure Angie is enjoying having you home now too-enjoy the downtime!
Ray of sunshine-prayers continue for your situation. I ran across this saying the other day: "God does not give us what we can handle; God helps us handle what we are given." Keep Him in focus and you can get through anything
(after the year my family's had, I feel like I'm becoming an expert on this
)
Football Friday was cold, but the rain quit and the boys ended the regular season undefeated! They took the division championship and are 1st seed going into play-offs. First play-off game is Wednesday evening (which has many upset, but I guess there were no other options this time) and our team gets home-field advantage (not that it really matters-they are so good this year!) The coaches were practicing DS2 this week, so he may even get to play in the play-off game. He has gotten so much better and faster-wrist healed up fine and I'm so proud of him for sticking with it, even when he wasn't getting to play in the varsity games. Who knows what next year will bring, with his determination to keep at it!
Getting ready for our church's Halloween-alternative party-lots of games, prizes, food, and, of course, candy for the kiddies to take home! DH and I take photos and print them at the party for the kids to take home-it's really been a hit! So, I've got to get the cameras ready and bake cookies
before Thursday.
Also, have to give a deposition on Thurs. morning about the car 'accident' we had almost 3 years ago. I'm really not looking forward to it, but I'm really tired of dealing with all the stuff that came from this incident. It would have just been so much easier if the offending driver's insurance adjusters had been honest and honorable and willing to compensate us fairly for all our claims from this, but right now, we're in the red financially because someone else ran a stop sign and hit us. Unbelievable! And, the insurance company that won't pay on our claims is now involved in sponsoring nascar racing-something just doesn't seem right in that
Hopefully, they'll see that they are going to have to make right on this, especially since DS3's doc says that the injury causing his pain probably happened in the accident (that's when it all started). I'm praying for patience and a right attitude for this, because I really hate insurance companies and I'm so tired of the run-around they've been giving us, along with their lies. Sorry for the rant
Have a great day everyone! Hi to all the mia's.
