Another night of Insomnia!!!
The doctor wants me to go to the sleep lab! I told him we will wait and see and here I sit at 4 am wide awake once again! BUT I have My layout from Shawns layout challenge for today on the Scrapthathalon! It was interest yet very fun to do!!!!!!!
Well I did get some scrapping done today!
I finished up a layout I have been playing with for a few days now! I had the strips cut to go around the picture and rearranged them every which way after trying bigger pieces and layering, nothing looked right. Then I saw someone make an arrow out of a photo corner and ribbon and somehow that made me think to bend the ends to make points and now I am much happier with the layout!
The picture is of Jason and the Neighbors grandson who was visiting from California. The boys were playing together and Ben's dad took a picture of them. He gave Jason a copy of the picture and Jason came running in the house and said "Grandma, can you please scrapbook this for me!" NOW HOW CAN I RESIST THAT REQUEST?"

Camp!
Will and I decided to go check out our churches Family camp tomorrow instead of going to our church for service! Looking forward to a tent revival service! Ready for some Spiritual uplifts!
I have really been praying alot about some things, apologized for somethings I wrote which I removed a few days back when I was so hurt by family not only to God but also to the person who also apologized. I was sincere that I was sorry I hurt her but I also explained that she has a sounding block and I do not and that I have to have a way to let out the feelings or I will go crazy. I also explained that it is not possible to talk as that just does not work. Well anyways I am turning it over to God at this point, I am going to let the Lord have my concerns and HE KNOWS WHERE MY HEART IS and HE ALSO KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE OTHERS HEARTS ARE TOO! I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
I also thank Jeanne for her support and for the Lord leading her to call me! I do need a pm though since my mind can be forgetful of the great site you told me about that has some great new ideas that I want to visit!
Well I did not get much scrapping done today! ended up with a migraine!! Started to clean down stair some, want all the rooms downstairs as clean as the main part of the house is but we ended up going over to Mindys for awhile.

Scraplyrics challenge #3 completed!!! YEAH!
So far so good! I have completed 3 of the Scraplyrics challenges! So I am hoping to try to keep up and do them all! Loving how it came out, just wish the scan showed all the shading and highlighting I auctually did when painting the letters!! It was a fun piece to do and the most sewing I believe I have done so far and I think I will start doing more! Funny I ended up not doing anything with my friend today but the quietness was great and a nice change so that is okay! I enjoyed the day and feel much more at peace and have spent some time reminding myself that GOD IS IN CONTROL!

Friday plans!!!
Thursday night the gang are all going to sleep at Mindy's so Will and I will have some romantic private time. Then on Friday I am planning with Deb to hopefully get together and paint. I think that her and I can become pretty good friends. We have alot of similar likes and I really enjoy teaching her to paint. She is hungry to learn and applies what she learns and tries it on her own. She is talking about opening a shop in her home and when she does she wants to sell my work and also hire me to teach for her. It sounds exciting but she is going to have her daughter help her with getting started in the business end of it and I wonder if she realizes yet how much it takes to get into business for yourself and just how much work it is! I pray it does not scare her off! I have been praying for her son when doing my devotions also, he is serving in Iraq! I am going to get some painting done tomorrow, then hopefully on the weekend some scrapbooking!
Britton is coming to visit!
Just a few more weeks and Britton will be coming to visit!! I am so looking forward to it~ I look forward so much to seeing Kevin and Maria also! I just can't wait to see them all and to spend time with them! It would be great if we could have the new camper by then and maybe go camping. I look forward to showing them the area and introducing them to our church family here. I am also sure Kevin and Maria are in much need of a nice quiet vacation after all their work and Britton's therapy too! It should be fun!
Decided against Carpal Tunnel Surgery and now
I think I may even hold off on the shots of cortisone. If I take them then I will have to be careful for awhile with using my wrists and not overdo and I don't see how that will work. So I have been really thinking about it and I have pretty much decided to cancel my appt. today. I don't want to depend on others to do things and then they don't get done and I will get myself upset and also I just feel it is the right decision at this time.

Flood in our old Hometown! Scary!
We decided last minute to take a trip to New York to check on hubby's dad and our camper, also ds and dd were going to NY and hubby was worried about them going and conditions there so we went to! It was not a peaceful vacation but at least I did see some friends!
But onto the photos! the pictures above, one obviously is a camper the was underwater. The other is a picture of fields that were a few days before all filled with corn! but the corn is all been destroyed!! We saw fields and fields of destroyed corn!
I saved some of the scarrier pictures for last! YES we drove down this road around this house to get to where son was staying at his sil's house! A nurse I use to work with lost her house also! The hospital I use to work for is still closed, they had to evacuate all patients to another hospital!
WOW this never happen while I lived there and the storage unit that dd and sil stored there stuff in exactly one year ago waiting to move here with us was hit bad and the area we had was hit the worse! so glad this did not happen a year ago! SO sorry for all these people! Really hits you when you know the people, or know the area!! Hubbby's dad had water in his cellar but not bad, his brother had 4 feet of water in his finished of basement! He wants to clean up and put up a for sale sign and build on a mountain! Do you blame him?

Saw My own md today about my KNEE
OH MY OH MY! Well he looks, an looks and says "I wish I could have seen this sooner, I wish you had never went to physical therapy" AH GEE THANKS!!!
THen he tells me he is bringing in another doctor he will be back in "5"Minutes! yeah right! 17 minutes later in the two walk, telling me that they are 99% sure it is a minscus tear and that I definetly have effusion of the knee now ( fluid on the knee) caused by the inflammation which they feel exercising caused!! OH GREAT! Now they wish some xrays were done before, humm my question too!!! but now they are going to inject cortisone INTO THE KNEECAP! I BEG YOUR PARDON!!
Then wait a few days and do an mri, well in a few days I am going away, so they will do the MRI on the 14th and if they are right and the injection has not taken ALL pain away, then surgery!
OKAY the injection time, the lady md, not mine does the injection, OKAY she supposebly (spelling oh well) numbs the knee, ok now this is someone who has had anywhere from 8 to 12 needle injections in the neck and back of the head, and they do the back of the head every 3 months and when they do it feels like the seperate the skull but I grin and bear.... but this I am moaning and dying and like ready to scream and curse (not,because I do not use curse words!!!) but anyways she keeps saying sorry I can't get into the knee cap you must relax, man I am wiggling my toes like a chiropractor taught me and trying to breath but My pain level is sky high, finally she says okay I think I got it. YOU THINK.
THEN she says I am going to have Dr. Manohar order a xray because either there is massive arthritis in there from an old injury ( not that I recall) or lots of calcification of the ligaments for some strange reason. So then she says the numbing will take effect and the knee will feel painless for several hours and then later your knee will be a LITTLE achy but a few days later it should feel much better.
Then My doctor comes back in and they discuss the swelling in my hands and my emg from oct and decide I need hand xrays and to see the hand specialist and most likely surgery because of the emg results from oct but at the very least cortisone injections in both hands for the carpal tunnel and for the ganglion cyst which is getting bigger. So I say NO MORE CORTISONE TODAY!!
So I go for the xray, BY THE WAY THE NUMBING MED IS NOT WORKING, THE XRAY KILLS, walking from one building to the next to get to where we parked at mayo is killing me!
THen he tells me he is bringing in another doctor he will be back in "5"Minutes! yeah right! 17 minutes later in the two walk, telling me that they are 99% sure it is a minscus tear and that I definetly have effusion of the knee now ( fluid on the knee) caused by the inflammation which they feel exercising caused!! OH GREAT! Now they wish some xrays were done before, humm my question too!!! but now they are going to inject cortisone INTO THE KNEECAP! I BEG YOUR PARDON!!
Then wait a few days and do an mri, well in a few days I am going away, so they will do the MRI on the 14th and if they are right and the injection has not taken ALL pain away, then surgery!
OKAY the injection time, the lady md, not mine does the injection, OKAY she supposebly (spelling oh well) numbs the knee, ok now this is someone who has had anywhere from 8 to 12 needle injections in the neck and back of the head, and they do the back of the head every 3 months and when they do it feels like the seperate the skull but I grin and bear.... but this I am moaning and dying and like ready to scream and curse (not,because I do not use curse words!!!) but anyways she keeps saying sorry I can't get into the knee cap you must relax, man I am wiggling my toes like a chiropractor taught me and trying to breath but My pain level is sky high, finally she says okay I think I got it. YOU THINK.
THEN she says I am going to have Dr. Manohar order a xray because either there is massive arthritis in there from an old injury ( not that I recall) or lots of calcification of the ligaments for some strange reason. So then she says the numbing will take effect and the knee will feel painless for several hours and then later your knee will be a LITTLE achy but a few days later it should feel much better.
Then My doctor comes back in and they discuss the swelling in my hands and my emg from oct and decide I need hand xrays and to see the hand specialist and most likely surgery because of the emg results from oct but at the very least cortisone injections in both hands for the carpal tunnel and for the ganglion cyst which is getting bigger. So I say NO MORE CORTISONE TODAY!!
So I go for the xray, BY THE WAY THE NUMBING MED IS NOT WORKING, THE XRAY KILLS, walking from one building to the next to get to where we parked at mayo is killing me!

Remember the game bottom of the pile?
Don't know what everyone else called it?!?!? but it was a game where one person gets jumped on by someone and pretty soon everyone else piles on untill the person on the bottom is pretty much squooshed! Well that is sure how life can be at times with problems and trials! One problem jumps on your back then adheres, maybe it's one that won't go away like a health problem, then another comes and sticks on and then another, then another and pretty soon you are fighting to enjoy the joys of life!!!
Boy the bible tells us that God will never let us have more then we can handle but sometimes when he lets that last person jump on that pile I don't think God realizes just how much that person weighs!
Doing my devotion today and feeling like between the daily health issues, my blasted knee, my other problems with family, missing friends/no friends in this place, so many stresses, I am so tired, I thought about Psalms 18: 6-10
In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears. The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook. He parted the heavens and came down. He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.' Psalm 18: 6-10
well Lord I have been praying and crying enough, enough so maybe just maybe things will start to look up! Faith is not believing God can... it is knowing that He will... I must remember this and have FAITH!!!
Thanking GOD that He reminds me each day to have Faith and praying each day to keep JOY IN MY HEART AND TO SHARE THAT JOY and to never ever seem like a down hearted person and to beg others to please let me know if I am ever being negative as I never ever want that. ESPECIALLY on TMS!! I feel enought NEGATIVITY lately in my home!!!! Thanking God daily for my husband! He is my rock but he needs to be more of a stand up kind of person instead of allowing the garbage!!! He also needs to support me more or he does not realize what it is doing to me or is it care. HUMM........
Okay enough of this garbage negative post, so sorry to share such a downer post!!!

Missing Britton
I have been thinking about Britton alot lately! I have not seen him since Feb. The child is not going to know this grandmother!! He is coming here in August but then I don't know when I will see him again!! They say his speech therapy is going well and the other therapies will start soon. I am anxious to see how it has affected him! I am anxious to see if it makes a difference in how he plays with his cousins!
I am also looking forward to getting our very first entire family picture, of course it will just be with my camera,but hey something is better then nothing!
I am sure hoping Amy will go to church that day, it will be totally awesome to have everyone in church together. WHAT A PRAISE THAT WILL BE! WHAT A FIRST! Thank you Lord! how far we have come, how much that time spent on my knees has paid off! GOD IS GOOD!!!!
speaking of Knees, Nope therapy, ice, exercise, all that is happening is swelling and pain, I think it is time to insist on at the very least an xray! and I don't want to hear it but I know what my gut is telling me! I just ticks me off! really ticks me off! Don't I have enough going on with out this!!!!

I HATE MIGRAINES!!!
I worked on a migraine all day today and then finally late afternoon/early evening sometime I knew it was going to really hit because I felt really light headed and so I sat down in Son and dil's room and yep I was right I did what I had not done in a long time again, I passed out royally, son said I was out at least 30-40 secounds said he was slapping me in the face with no response. I then started to come through but could not talk for about 1 minute and then my speech was slurred for a few minutes and boy was my head ponding and the light was killing me. Dil and hubby went and got my injection, but it was not easy for me to do it since I was in such rough shape. I was reching and in so much pain for so long, then hubby helped me to bed. I slept about 2 hours and then got up and I vomited and I have been suffering with a headache since but not severe but when I get one like this it is a shoein that I will have another the next day just not as severe. The doctors say its residual migraines. I AM SO SICK OF THEM.. they blame them on my neurological problems! so of course I have alot of increased numbness in the right side of my face and increased ear pain tonight!! AND They want to try changing meds to decrease my sideeffects so I am really nervous when that happens because I am so afraid of the problems getting worse again!!!

Totally Emily and Cloud 9 July's Kit
Well the long await kit from The Memory Safe came yesterday and I was able to whip out a layout tonight! I sure have come a long way in this past year! I use to take hours to days to do one layout and now it takes a couple hours to do one!
I thought the Cloud 9 Mums paper was just perfect for Emilys pictures where she posed by my peonies. I am pleased with the layout and SO IS EMILY!! Tomorrow I am hoping to do one of Chelsea, oddly enough I took some cute pictures of her Fathers day in a shirt with about the same colors! So it should also go great with the kit and the ribbon with the words will be perfect for her pose!!

A laundry basket full of love!
Ok who does not like laundry baskets that look like this! Father's day I brought up a load of laundry (hoping for help folding!) and since there was a lack of seats the boys found a great use for the basket! Then Jason thought it was really comfy and got so cozy that he took a snooze! Gotta love them!!
