(Philippians 4:6-7 New Living Translation)
6Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

So I took Dante to the vet today. They called him fat! I asked the dr to not talk like that because Dante would get a complex. Poor dog.

Dragan asked me today if we could go "see Gram" on Saturday. He wants to get some flowers and take them to the cemetary. So i told him and Kendra we would go over and take some stuff. I guess we will go to the florist first and get some Easter arrangements.
No news on the potential foster kid. Im gonna call again tomorrow. Someone pissed me off (someone who has NO right telling me what i can and cant do) and told me not to bite off more than i can chew. They have no clue about me, my life or what kind of parent i am. So kiss my ass. People act like I have it so hard because of Tor. He is actually the best one! Oh well, I will do what i want to do.

I had mixed emotions today. Darryl came and took all the furniture from Mom's room this morning. Ithought he was going to take it and donate it to the Salvation Army, but after he saw it he convinced Kendra to keep it for her room at his house. Apparently she has 3 dressers and none match. lol He is going to sand them and refinish them and let her pick new hardware for them. I think she was pleased about it. Everything is now gone from the room except for 1 box of her stuff in the closet and some stuff in the attic. It looks so different. I am going to paint it this week or next weekend and try to get my stuff in there as soon as i can. With me trying to get a foster child, I need to get it done.
Had 2 parties to go to this weekend. I was so proud of Toren too. He was on his best behavior and actually ate things he rarely eats,.. pizza, fruit and bread and crackers. He is sure maturing (about damn time).
Also, thanks for the prayers for my sister in law. She seems like she is improving each day. Keep thinking of her though... its a long recovery.

I talked to Shelli tonight and she seems to be doing a little better. Her headaches are still there but they seem to be lessening. She really wants to come home though. Maybe tomorrow. Prayers please that she will keep improving and be able to get home soon. Thanks.
Im still obsessing over the damn Relay For Life. I know it is still months away, but it means a lot to me. So DONATE!!! ;)
Nothing new here. Toren goes to the neurologist tomorrow for refills on his meds. He is finally feeling better too.
On a side note, it was 6 months yesterday since Mom died. Sometimes it feels like she has been gone or a long long time but it still hurts like the day it happened. Other times I wake up, look at the clock and see 5 am. and think she will be downstairs on the computer when i finally get up and go down. Its hard to believe she is gone.

Thanks for the prayers for Shelli. She is doing ok but having some drainage from her back. The dr. might have to go back in. Please pray that it heals quickly. She doesnt deserve to go through all of this.
I went to a team captains meeting tonight. There were a lot of people there. Everyone knew who I was just because our team has so many members and donations already!! It was cool. I turned in my first batch of checks too. We now have 9 members on our team and everyone hasnt even signed up yet. Im so excited. So go donate. Find the link below an just do it.

Earlier today Dragan said, "I wished Gram had never died." I told him I felt the same way. Then he said, "Well she can s till hear me right?" I told him yes, she could. So with a big smile on his face and real loud ye yells, "Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!" She used to love to hear him say it that way, all long and drawn out. We laughed and he said he was sure she was glad to hear him say it.
I booked a party for Toren today too. It wont be until Easter monday though. We usually have a cook-out every year but he doesnt really enjoy it. Plus, I didnt want to do it without Mom. She usually did almost everything so it just wont be the same without her. :(
Also, please pray for my SIL Shelli. She is going in for her 5th back surgery tomorrow morning and will be in the hospital 4 or 5 days. Pray that everything goes well and she heals quickly.

In just a few days we are already getting some donations for our Relay for Life team. Dragan was bugging me to let him enter and make a page with his name so he could ask for donations. After I verified that there was no age limit, him and I sat down to make a page. Im really looking forward to the race in June. I dont know if its because I feel like I will be making a difference, or because I am doing it in my mom's honor. It also could be because I will spending time with family and friends. I will be going to a team captains meeting on Wednesday night and hope to get some more info. Dont forget to donate!! See the post below for the link. :)

Well, I signed up for Relay for Life. When I looked into it, I discovered that it was being held 2 miles from my house on the weekend of Mom's birthday. if that wasn't a sign i dont know what was. I am captain of the team and am trying to get people to participate with us. So far, it is me, Kendra, Tim, Shelli and Timmy. Two people at work and their families also want to be on the team. Mom would be so proud of us. When we get something in our mind that we want to do, we do it. And we will raise a ton of money,... in honor of Mom. Cancer is an awful thing that has affected so many people. Until Mom got cancer, I didnt realize how devastating it was. Hopefully one day, in my lifetime, they will find a cure so no one else has to lose their mom, or dad, or child, or friend. If you want to check out our team page,... here is the link...
