Thank you

  • It’s like an early Christmas present


    I went to visit Barb over at A Chelsea Morning and discovered that she is a nominee for the Christian Women Online’s Best Homemaker blogger award. And honestly, she is an incredible homemaker…she irons her sheets. Do I need to say anymore?

    So, imagine my surprise when I clicked on the link to see the other nominees and discovered that I am one of the nominees for Most Humorous Blog, along with Boomama and Antique Mommy.

    To say I am thrilled and honored is an understatement, because really in all likelihood if you’re reading my blog right now you fall into one of three categories.

    1. You found me through the many times that Boomama has kindly linked to me and sent her “tens of readers” my direction

    2. I left you comments until you felt that you had no choice but to come visit me

    3. You are related to me by blood or marriage

    No matter which of these categories y’all may fall in, just know that I am really appreciative. I love this whole blogging thing and having people read and think I’m funny is just a bonus. I know it’s the most overused phrase in the world, but it really is an honor just to be nominated.

    And I’d like to thank Caroline because really part of what makes me funny is that she keeps me on the edge of sanity with the mood swings that make me go from Mama of the Year to Big Ugly Girl in a hearbeat.

    And if I don’t win, I promise I won’t pull a Faith Hill and scream “WHAT??!” and I won’t be a Democrat and demand a recount.

    Really, thank you. Y’all made my day!

  • An update

    Last week, I told y’all about AJ and finding out that her mom has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I can’t thank you enough for the sweet comments and prayers. I know that her family has been so blessed by the prayers being said on their behalf.

    For those of you who are praying, here’s an update.

    They went to M.D. Anderson last week to see what their options were and found out that the cancer had already spread further. The only option is a really experimental chemo treatment.

    They’ve decided to try this chemo and will start the first round on Monday. The best they can hope for is that it may slow down the progression of the cancer. The worst part is that they really don’t know what all the side effects could be since it is such a new treatment.

    Her mom had said originally that she didn’t want to try anything experimental, but I think she just wants to feel like she’s doing something. They are going to see how this first round goes and decide after that if she wants to continue it.

    Anyway, if you feel led to say a prayer for them, it would be much appreciated.
