HI All!
Ok here is a quick update on the stuff..

My Aunt Gayle was given 2 months from the time she was hospitalized.. July 7th.. we are still praying for a miracle, but that is where that stands..My mom just called and told me because they are closing down St john's for 'toxic mold removal' or something, my aunt will be home briefly this weekend. My mom has been at the hospital every day with her, feeding her & keeping her company & trying to keep her spirits up.. She's still getting treatment & the tumors are shrinking, but as my mom says.. it's a day to day struggle.
My Uncle's cancer markers are back up as well, he's back on Chemo again, and it's too soon to tell the effect just yet
To those who didn't hear, I was laid off in July, but am now working again after a couple weeks off.. what I would do to be able to AFFORD to just be a home maker, sure it's a little boring at times.. but D@MN.. SIGH.. anyhoo.. I am working at a place I REALLY like.and i know the people. lol.. Answer BMX. it's part time for now, no benefits.. but i am back to liking work again!
the custody & child support papers are finally finished & signed & I am receiving my child support now YAY!!
the kids are getting to register for school in the next few days.. Kat is excited to get back to school.. Kevin.. not so much.. they are doing even better now that they have their own dog who is the sweetest thing in the world ( except for a habit of chasing kitties & escaping.. which I am in the process of contacting a trainer to help with that) he is a GEM.. I found him on Craigslist as a 'red listed' dog due to be put down at any time.. Last Monday was his day, I went sown Sunday & put my name on him & picked him up Wednesday last week.. HE"S MINE!! MINE!! ALL MINE HA HA HA.. oh..um.. sorry...
here is the link to my photobucket with some pics of him. he isn't named Scott anymore, it's Chief now.

he & Bella get along very well too.. it's just the kitty thing.. and him being a bit of an escape artist.. and being kinda needy.. and SUPER smart..

My sister found out she isn't having twins ( THANK GOD) just one, no word on the sex though. she is due March 2nd
Katie from Moab came out for a nice visit & I had a really good time with her here! we got lots of cactus & did a lot of shopping. we took the Metro to Long beach last week on Tuesday, did a harbor tour & ate at Porter's Light house i must say AWESOME sushi, AWESOME Salmon Caesar Salad.. I hope to post those pics up to my photobucket soon..
hmm.. i think that is all for now.. i am probably forgetting something..
hope all of you are doing well!
we are keeping our heads above water rather well for now. I hope you are too :)
Blessed be
Barb
