Several Things – Circle of Prayer Request

First and foremost: Please go by and wish our friend Vickie well wishes. She has not been doing well lately and we are starting another circle of prayer for her. She needs all the prayers she can get. Missy is taking its toll on her and she is too good of a person for this to happen to. We love you Vickie and we want you better!

My cousins son had an accident with his go cart. He lost the end of a finger 2 days ago after getting it caught in the motor belt. It would have taken too many surgeries to repair it. 8 hours just to reattach and then two more surgeries to follow. He decided against it after talking it over with his parents and we all wish him a speedy recovery from this as well. He is only thirteen. I am just thankful he wasn’t hurt worse than he was.

I am a free bird for a couple of days. The boys are headed to Florida early in the morning on Saturday to spend a few days with my BIL and his wife. My BIL has 4th stage cancer and is not doing well. They are afraid he might be giving in to it and he can use some boosting from family. His birthday is in a couple of days as well. He is another that we need to add to the prayer list. He is a good soul and a great BIL.

I will be staying here and relaxing (‘cept for laundry) with the house guest. I go back to work on Monday and then I am off again on Friday. It is the end of my vacation days until I can earn some more. The youngin’ is on spring break this week so I am not sure when they will get back. It could be any where from Wednesday on.

I have been trying out my green thumb this week. The old man spread some grass seed a few weeks ago and it is only coming in in sparse patches. Today when I got home I went out and spread some more seed and some fertilizer. Wish me luck… I am hoping to show off a greener lawn soon!

I have been helping the house guest hunt for a new car. He finally got some money in from the sale of his house. This project has not been easy. He is so damn picky! It has to be a certain make and model and they don’t make this vehicle any longer. I think he has been worse about this than he has been about everything else. He is a picky eater too. It drives me nuts!

The youngin’ told me yesterday that he has also been talking about us behind our backs. Talk about ungrateful! I am so ready for this guy to move on out. He has been calling us bad parents AND telling the boy that the old man and I “are just lazy”. WTF? If he does it again he will be getting an earful AND the boot. The bitching at the boy has not stopped either. He acts like a third parent, and I know this is wrong, but we have both given the boy permission to fuss back. Enough is enough!

The finger is healing OK I guess. I can at least type with it now and go for periods of time without a bandaid. It tingles constantly and it feels like dead skin to me. The swelling has not gone down much either. I bought some vitamin E to rub into the wound to help speed up the healing and to hopefully end up with a smaller scar. I can’t quite curl my finger all the way and that aggravates me… silly huh?

Well I think that kinda catches you all up on my week and weekend. Hows your week gone?
