First Dance

Abby is at her first dance tonight. She was so excited! She is really growing up and becoming a young lady. Tomorrow she will be 12 years old and looks like she is much older. Yesterday her Nana pampered her with dinner, shopping, and a haircut. What more can a girl ask for?

????? Question Time ????????

So when do you put up your Christmas tree? What is your experience?

We usually put ours up the weekend after Thanksgiving, but have been known to wait until the first weekend of December......or later. I dread putting up the tree!!!! It's the lights. They make me crazy!! One year I was so fed up I took out the scissors and cut them right off the tree. This is very unusual behavior for my laid back personality but I'm telling you.....they make me crazy! Once I get the lights up....I'm good. I really should invest in a pre-lit tree. After the lights are up, then my kids and husband know it's "safe" to come into the room and help with the rest. I think I may need some counseling :-)

Hubby's home!

Finally, after a long week my hubby is home from the hospital. He was one sick puppy. Lesson learned........visit your doctor on a regular basis. Matt was anti-doctor and avoided them at all cost. Final diagnosis is type 1 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. His overall cholesterol was over 700 and his triglycerides 7130. They figured he has been walking around for at least 3 months with blood sugars averaging around 250. He finally ate his first meal today and did well with it. They sent him home tonight around 5 pm. It is so nice to have him home. He will have to take another week to recuperate. Our family is in for an overall lifestyle change, but are definitely here for him. Well....time for his meds. Thanks for all the prayers! We are so thankful!

Wordless Wednesday

Please Pray for Hubby

I am calling it a night! It has been a long 2 days and I've had a total of 2 hours sleep in the past 30 or so hours. Hubby is in the hospital. He has a lot going on, but most alarming are his triglyceride levels. 7,000! And no that is not a typo.....not 700....yes...7,000. He is also showing signs of possible diabetes and all of this is causing his pancreas to go into a state of shock so the doctors think. I'm not so sure they really know. He is on a no food or water diet for 2-3 days. He is in a lot pain so anyone who believes in prayer.....please pray.
