Thankful...

I added a new blog to my list this morning.  Beth Elliott is a former student of Tina's and presently at St. Jude's Children's Hospital going thru some pretty scary testing/treatment for a rare brain tumor.  Just reading all her posts makes me so thankful that my daughters were blessed with good health and really had no major problems.  Check out Beth's post.  It's very interesting.

Tonight we leave for Camarillo to stay with Cristian and Adrian.  I am looking forward to spending time with them, but a little apprehensive as well...just not knowing how they'll react to not having mom and dad around.  We have taken care of Cristian twice previously when Art and Terri went to Mexico and it was easy and fun...but he was a baby and such a good baby.  The boys are older now and very aware of who is (and isn't) present.  So pray for us.  We'll be there until Friday around 3, at least that's the plan.  Then back to Bakersfield for the rest of the weekend.  Cristian has school from noon to 3 everyday and we hated to have him miss it.  Hopefully, he'll go to school easily with us taking him instead of mom.  We'll see.

By the way, I've been very busy at work.  Wouldn't you know it...I'll be gone the next 3 days and I was looking forward to being gone because it was so slow at work.  Now I have plenty of work to keep me busy.  It always seems to work out that way. 

Folks...I have to buy a sewing machine!  What I mean is...I have to have something to occupy my time during the evenings.  My husband is quite contented to sit in front of the television every evening until he falls asleep and I on the other hand, eat my way thru another boring evening.  I need some hobbies and I used to love to sew.  My old Singer has a broken gear and needle (something).  I don't think it wise to put $100 into fixing it when it mainly sews a straight stitch.  Even the guy at Carlson's said it wasn't a 'top of the line machine'.  So I am going to make it a goal to get a machine in the next few weeks.  If you have any ideas for me...post them!!
