Jul. 10, 2006 - The Results are In!
I'm lumpy! No cancer!! Yaaaayyyyy! Praise be to God.
I went to the surgery clinic this morning and got my pathology report. Such are relief.
This weekend was spent in relative peace and quiet. My dh was off (he TOOK offF!) from work. He had intended to take the kids to the local Burger King to wash cars for our church Sunday School fundraiser, but he and the kids were the only ones there! Go figure.
Anyway, he came home as I was finishing up with housework and showering. Our church had conference meeting and I never miss it. After conference, two of my titus 2 ladies and I went to the local flee market, then we sat on Mag's porch chatting (after I mooched some plant slips off of her!).
I made it back home in one piece so the family didnt have to call out the National Guard. It was my first time driving since the biopsy. I made it home and took a nap. Dh worked on the meal and then took ds to the pool. Dd made a trip to Walmart and then vegged out in her cave (aka, bedroom).
Did I mention that on Friday evening as dh and I were sitting at the dining room table chatting, dd runs into the room yelling that "M" is here! "M" is here!!! A little history is needed.
About three years ago, I was babysitting for our church keyboard/pianist and his wife. They are a young couple who also serve in the Marines. I babysat the oldest "M" who was just turning 3 at the time. Momma was pregnant with number 2. They got stationed in Japan, and we hadnt heard a word from them in almost 3 years! I was hurt as I had loved these little ones ("M" was pushing 50 lbs!). I couldnt believe they would leave with no email addy or anything.
Well, the Lord has been working on this young couple and it was such a blessing to see them again. The fact that they sought me and my family out first really touched my heart. And my "babies" are 5 1/2 and 3 1/2!!!!
They came to church on Sunday and clung to me. I was so proud!
Fast forward...I quit my job and will now be babysitting our associate pastor (and wife) two little ones plus a newborn, when she makes her appearance. I will also be taking care of my other "babies" when school is in intersessioin (year round school with 4 week breaks). I might keep 3.1/2 year old til pre-K arrangements can be made.
All this while caring for my infant great niece!
My cup runneth over...
