Make a Smilebox postcard

at last

I have logged back on the computer! First Praise the LORD! My back is better, thank you for the prayers, and I am starting to like my PT guy, things are getting better. Now if the nerves would just work them selves out...my feet go to "sleep". Not painful, just annoying. I go back to the dr on 11-3, am thinking it will be good news!
I even have a new refrigerator. Jasper loves it! I had to get the double door with the ice /water in the door to get the inside the way I wanted (adjustable shelves on door). Anyway, it has crushed ice, so he thinks that is a part of his supper now! And if he eats this food I don't care, I'll give him a cup of ice every night if that is what it takes.
Just staying busy trying to get ready for fall festival at church and work, kids, house....never ending list. You all know how that is...
have a great week!

what a week

made it to the dr, saw the PA not the dr. but he was very nice and informative. I am trying PT for now. He said that with the area of the back that is sore it could heal on it's own, but it my take as long as 3 months or I could see if PT helps. If this does not work I would meet with the dr and if necessary they would have to do surgery. Right now, I'm thinking give me a bottle of pills and lets be done! PT hurts! I walked in okay, Monday, but had a harder time walking out. I know it is suppose to help and just give it time, but I can hurt and stay at home. Okay, I'm finished complaining, at least for today.
And to top it off my refrigerator died on me! And it was not that easy to find a new one. At least not in Crossett. But I should have one delivered today! Thank you Lord! I was about to loose my mind. I had decided on the features I wanted, Paul said get what you want, and they changed everything this year! I now know why it is so frustrating buying new items! But this one should last at least for the next 20 or so years, right?
Paul went back to work this week! Good times for my checkbook, bad times for my baby. Jasper wants to know where's "my Paul", that is what he calls daddy. And as a result, will not let me out of his sight. He is not sure about this, he has gone from having his daddy 24/7 to having him gone when he gets up in the mornings and going to bed early. Don't think Jasper likes this at all.
Okay, and for my all rambling of the morning, don't some of you faint, the Presidential debate last night. If that was the only thing I had to go on, this world would be in trouble. I personally HATE policits. Don't think either just answered a question straight out. Obama, stayed on how he is going to help the middle class, got their vote, McCain, had some good point, but seemed to be attacking the other guy each time he talked, am I really the only one that gets tired of that? Don't tell me about the other guy tell me about you! Show me your proof of your record and let me choose.
Hope you all have a great week and thanks for listening!

18?????

Hard to believe that our little girl will be 18 years old Thursday! Auntie and Grandparents were here this week-end so we celebrated a little early. She has changed a little from when the first years of our married "family". She has been talking about college and wanting to going to LSU, in Baton Rouge! Says that is where she wants to go, so I guess we will be taking a road trip at some point in time. Of course, I think the Hammond branch sounds like a better school!!! I know Cassie and I are not "close" but she is still my child and I worry about her being so far from home and on her own. Please start praying for me now, even through it is still almost a year year a way, it is getting closer each day.

Jasper helped with the cake, we made a paper cake with money inside, he thought it was fun to stuff the boxes. Of course he also thought it was fun to help remove the money! Japser gave her 18 $1 bills, Sydney $18 and we gave her 18 $10 bills, then her daddy told her to add it all up! You know him and his math, always trying to teach us, I keep telling him not everyone sees numbers in their heads like he does. She also receive 18 packages, Jasper helped with those as well, I'm sure he thought it was another birthday for him or something. When they were all open he ran back to our bedroom and looked for more to bring out; he and Sydney carried them to the table for me.

Cassie opening gifts, think she was counting in the first picture. CHEESE....not sure where he got that, but it has stuck. Thought it was a good picture of them both.
