She is also very confused at times. This weekend we went too see Mom and took the kids. I could tell she enjoyed seeing them.Afterwards we took the kids to the fair and we all had a great time. Robert and I were glad to have some family time especially with the sale coming up. Yesterday Robert too Elijah too see the Panthers. It was the firsttime he has taken him. Robert said he did GREAT and Elijah loved going with Daddy. I ask Elijah if he looked at the cheerleaders and he said Yes I did and they are really skinny.LOL My drop-off starts Friday so I will not be posting much. The sale is going fantastic.

She is unable to eat or drink correctly so they are going to run a swallow test on her. She has lost strength in her right arm and leg and is unable to walk Dad was told that she ould be in the hospital awhile but they are working to get her in rehab...The Dr told Dad she could bounce back from his with lots of work. Pray for my Mom and Dad.. Decisions and Peace will need to be made.

My head is spinning

What a week My Mom is in the hospital. Has been there since Sunday night. Allyson showed me a swollen lymph gland in her neck Drop-off starts next week for my sale. Mom is OK... She has been in bad health for quite a long time . The woman is a ox. You think this might be it and she bounces back. Sadly though it looks like she might have suffered a stroke this time. They took her for a brain scan this morning and hopefully we will hear something this afternoon. I am trying to talk my Dad to move here with Mom after she gets out of rehab. He keeps turning me down but in teh same breath he saids I just don't know how I can handle her. Please pray for parents. Allyson swollen lymp gland turend outto be a infected SPIT gland ... She will be on meds for a fews weeks. If it does not go down I was told to take her to a ENT. The sale is going great.JUST BUSY. I hope by the end of the month to become a regular blogger I will try to keep everyone updated on Mom

The Election Again

NO MATTER WHO WINS THE ELECTION... TOP 10 PREDICTIONS NO MATTER WHO WINS THE ELECTION 1. The Bible will still have all the answers. 2. Prayer will still work. 3. The Holy Spirit will still move. 4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people. 5. There will still be God-anointed teaching and healing. 6. There will still be singing of praise to God. 7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people. 8. There will still be room at the Cross. 9. Jesus will still love you. 10. Jesus will still save the lost. ISN'T IT GREAT TO KNOW WHO IS REALLY IN CONTROL?!!!

Our Next VP

Come on American Women . I feel like I am hearing something from the 50's These concerns and question about having a pregnant teen or how many kids they have would not be asked if this same thing happen to a man who was running for President or Vice President. Men SHOULD and do have the same pressures of being a parent ( no matter how many children they have) Men SHOULD and do have the same pressure of being a husband Men SHOULD and do have the same pressure of dealing with serious issues that effect their families. So what makes it different for a WOMAN When I read these concerns and questions it makes me think that the majority of being a parent rest on the woman's solely on a shoulder. What happen to equal partnership in a marriage and being a parent. Every candidate that is running for a office is married and has a family. It really hit me this morning as I was listening to a radio station. There were callers were saying she would make a irresponsible VP because she had a baby at 43, had five kids, carried a special need baby to term and her teen daughter was pregnant. Here I am a mother of five, had a baby at almost 44, carried my son who is mentally retarded and I am labeled irresponsible and should never be considered running for a important office or have a important role in society. I actually cried all the way home for this biggest reason I THOUGHT when we nominated a black man for president and Mrs Clinton almost won that just maybe we have started taking off blinders that all men and women are equal no matter what! I was wrong especially after what I have been reading on the liberal left wing websites and what I heard on the radio this morning....
