Screwing us again

There getting rid of our journals? All the hard work we did to make our journals what they are, and all the friends we've made are gonna be gone at the end of the month? WHY? Why can't they just leave well enough alone? JLand is my home away from home, my sanity. I am going to be lost without it, I have seen some of you have this blog thingy. I will try to make one also.

Well, the kids are all asleep, Jim is on his way to bed, and I sent Dan and Emma out for a while. They needed some alone time. So they went out to dinner and a movie. Dan has to go get a Mylogram done friday. Hopefully they find out what is wrong with his back and can fix it. He is in so much pain.The percosets and Oxycodone and the Tens unit that sends electric shock pulses into his spine doesn't work for him anymore. The pain is so bad he shakes terribly. Emma is in pain with her broken hand. She feels bad that I have to do everything, but hey she took care of me when I had surgery and went through chemo and radiation. I admit it is alot on me. This body gets tired and hurts and it takes me a while to get things done, but they get done and all are cared for. The girls are doing very well in school. Rebecca got an A on her spelling test and an A on her language test. I am so proud of her. Marissa hasn't had any tests yet. To me her teacher is slow. I guess I will go now. I wanna play in pogo for a while. Hope all is well.

A HEART WARMER

This will touch your heart.
Here is a true story about a
nine year old boy who lived in a rural town in Tennessee ..
His house was in a poor area of the community.
A church had a bus ministry that came knocking on his door one afternoon.
The kid came to answer the door and greeted the bus pastor.
The bus pastor asked if his parents were home and the
small boy told him that his parents take off every weekend and leave him at
home to take care of his little brother. The bus pastor couldn't believe what
the kid said and asked him to repeat it.
The youngster gave the same answer and the bus pastor asked to come in and talk with him.
They went into the living room and sat down on an old couch with the foam and springs
exposed.

The bus pastor asked the kid, 'Where do you go to church? The
young boy surprised the visitor by replying, 'I've never been to church in my
whole life.'

The bus pastor thought to himself about the fact that his
church was less than three miles from the child's house. 'Are you sure you
have never been to church?' he asked again. 'I sure haven't', came his answer.

Then the bus pastor said, Well, son, more important than going to
church, have you ever heard the greatest love story ever told?' and then
he proceeded to share the Gospel with this little nine year old boy. The young
lad's heartbegan to be tenderi zed and at the end of the bus pastor's
story the bus pastor asked if the boy wanted to receive this free gift from God.

The youngster exclaimed, 'You bet!'
The kid and the bus pastor got on their knees and the lad invited Jesus into his little heart and
received the free gift of salvation. They both stood up and the bus pastor
asked if he could pick the kid up for church the next morning. 'Sure,'
the nine old replied.

The bus pastor got to the house early the next
morning and found the lights off. He let himself in and snaked his way through
the house and found the little boy asleep in his bed. He woke up the little
boy and his brother and helped get them dressed. They got on the bus and ate a
donut for breakfast on their way to church. Keep in mind that this boy had
never been to church before. The church was a real big one. The little kid
just sat there, clueless of what was going on

A few minutes into the servi ce these tall unhappy guys walked down to the front and picked up some wooden plates. One of the men prayed and the kid with utter fascination
watched them walk up and down the aisles. He still didn't know what was going on.
All of a sudden like a bolt of lightning it hit the kid what was taking
place. These people must be giving money to Jesus. He then reflected on the
free gift of life he had received just twenty-four hours earlier. He
immediately searched his pockets, front and back, and couldn't find a thing to
give Jesus. By this time the offering plate was being passed down his aisle
and with a broken heart he just grabbed the plate and held on to it. He
finally let go and watched it pass on down the aisle. He turned around to see
it passed down the aisle behind him. And then his eyes remained glued
on the plate as it was passed back and forth, b ack and forth all the way to the
rear of the sanctuary.
Then he had an idea.

This little nine year old boy, in front of God and everybody, got up out of his seat. He walked about
eight rows back, grabbed the usher by the coat and asked to hold the plate one
more time. Then he did the most astounding thing I have ever heard of. He took
the plate, sat it on the carpeted church floor and stepped into the center of
it. As he stood there, he lifted his little head up and said, 'Jesus, I don't
have anything to give you today, but just me. I give you me!'

I do love Jesus. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me
functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I
am nothing. With Him I can do all things.
Phil 4:13

Where to start?

I am so sorry I didn't get back here yesterday and write a proper entry. I won't go into any details of how it happened, but I will tell you my oldest, Emma thought she was Mike Tyson and punched a door. So what happened? She broke her hand in numerous places and has some internal bleeding in it also. They wrapped it, gave her a prescription for percosets and the name of a specialist, which is where she is now. The hospital said she may need surgery on her hand and will have to wear a cast for 8 to 12 weeks. Won't she love that, lol. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She did learn a valuable lesson tho, lol.

Emma and her Dad.

Even with a broken hand, she wasn't gonna give up on a night out with her daddy. Jim had tickets to the Phillies vs Atlanta Braves game last night, and he promised Emma she could go. Even though the phillies lost by a score of 4-10 Braves they still had a good time. Emma got someone to take their picture.

At the game. Jim had to wear a name tag because the company he works for sponsered a trip there for all the employees who work at Glass Max. They each got a t-shirt to wear also.

There's the stadium in the back ground. The round looking place.

And here's the Braves kicking the Phillies butts, lol. We'll get ya next time Atlanta, hahaha.

I was so disappointed on Rebecca's birthday. Can you believe all who said they were coming, never showed up? Nope no one came. I was so depressed. But it didn't seem to bother the kids. They loved dinner, loved that icecream cake, and really loved all the balloons and noise makers and goodie bags. She loves her telescope and is fasinated with the moon. She reads anything and everything about the moon.

Then the following weekend it was Adrianna's birthday. The only person's who showed up were Mr. Jim and Rebecca's teacher from kindergarten Phylis. None of the uncles or cousin's or Dan's mom came to Adrianna's first birthday. Phylis and Jim couldn't make it for Rebecca's birthday, but they gave her a card with 50.00 in it and also a card for Adrianna with 50.00.

She started to cry cause icing dirtied her hand, lol.

I think she's having a happy birthday.

Well, Emma's home wearing a bright pink cast. She has to go back in 4 weeks, then they'll know whether or not she needs surgery. In the mean time I am very busy now doing the cooking cleaning, watching babies, taking the girls back and forth to school, helping them with home work and home schooling Daniel getting him ready for pre-school next year. Busy, busy, busy, that's me. I will definately need a long vacation by the time Emma is healed and has her cast off, lol. Well, I am needed. Adrianna needs to be changed. I will try to get to journals as soon as I can. Please forgive me for not visiting. I miss hearing about all your lives. Take care of yourselves, and please know I love you all.

I went to send out a special thank you to Sugar who made this beautiful tag for Rebecca. Sugar thank you so much. Rebecca loves it.

LOVE...................CINDY

A Funny from Poppop Bill

A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.. Although his English was far from perfect they got along very well One day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him. The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances. He asked him the following questions:

 

Have you any grounds?

Yes, an acre and half and nice little home.

 

No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?

It made of concrete.

 

I don't think you understand.  Does either of you have a real grudge?

No, we have carport, and not need one.

 

I mean. What are your relations like?

All my relations still in Poland .

 

Is there any infidelity in your marriage?

We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player.

 

Does your wife beat you up?

No, I always up before her.

 

Is your wife a nagger?

No, she white.

 

Why do you want this divorce?

She going to kill me.

 

What makes you think that?

I got proof.

 

What kind of proof?

She going to poison me.  She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom.  I can read, and it say: 'Polish Remover'

A SPECIAL DAY

 

Today is a very special day. It is the day my baby girl turns 7 years old. On September 13, 2001 at 10:30am, I had a c-section and this baby was taken from my womb. She was perfect. 10 fingers and 10 toes, all pink and a little bald head. She is out with her daddy birthday shopping. He takes her out each year for her birthday. They went to breakfast also.

Tomorrow we will have her party. I asked her if she wanted pizza or hotdogs or taco party. Nope not my kid. She wanted a whole ham cooked on the grill, deviled eggs, pasta salad, baked beans and mini hotdogs baked in crescent rolls, lol. Is this normal for a 7yr old to want food such as this for her birthday? And of course there will be a Carvel icecream cake, cookies, juice, soda, coffee. Today I will go out and get her decorations, balloons, plates, cups and napkins. She wants the decor to be red and white. I'll dollar store those items and go to Party City for decorations and party favors and noise makers.

I am going to make this short. I promise to make another entry soon, complete with birthday pictures.
