I haven't had much time to blog lately. We've had a few things come up last week so we've been busy with LIFE!!!

It all started on Wednesday. We decided to go to the park with our homeschool friends. We were all in the van, ready to go and the van wouldn't start. I tried several times and no luck. We really wanted to go to the park, too. Dh was at work so he couldn't check it out. We had some friends come and pick us up for church that night.  After church and after Dh arrived home from work he tried the van and can you guess????? It started for him!!!! It was running funny, but it was running. It has been running ever since. He thinks it may be a blown headgasket, but so far there has been no other problems. I just think that God answered my prayer. I came home Wednesday night, after church, I just cried and prayed to God about a few things in my life that have been bothering me. Three of my prayers were answered from that prayer. God is awesome and he hears our prayers.

On Friday the kids and I went to visit my grandmother. I have been really worried about her latley. She has had emphysema(COPD) for a few years now and it is getting worse. She has been having more and more trouble breathing and now something else has come up. It started about 3 weeks ago. She told me she thought a bird was in her house. My dad went and looked all over her house and no bird. He told her that maybe she had a mouse or rat and he put out some traps. Ever since then she has said that it is a rat and it's staying behind her T.V. She has been feeding it rabbit food and she really believes it's there. So, on Friday I met my mom at my grandmother's house and we looked everywhere. We couldn't find anything or any trace that a rat has been living behind her T.V. Then it got worse. Yesterday (Sunday) I called her and she told me that animal control had just been out because there is some exotic animal in her house. She said it was sleeping on her couch next to her cat. Of course animal control found nothing. I'm not sure what we need to do. Could this be lack of oxygen to the brain from the emphysema?? Is is something else. She has always been in her right mind. She has never acted this way. I'm concerned for her. She has an appointment with a pulmonologist in March, but I'm not sure we can wait that long.

Saturday we attended a family birthday party. Sunday Dh went to church with C (7) and C(10) and I stayed home with C (3) and C (2). They have both been really congested and I decided to keep them at home.

It's early Monday morning and I'm up and ready for the day. I need to make some breakfast and then I'll wake everyone up.

Blessings,

Jenn
