Well my Man finally made it back home from Puerto Rico last night. He has over 100 pictures on his cell phone. I have presents!!! I got a key chain sea turtle with a Puerto Rican flag on the back and I got the tea set back that we sent to Mami Hilda not too long ago. I have these lovely yellow muffins (that I can eat two full bags of and still want more) straight from PR. I have taken pictures with my like new Samsung 6.0 megapixel camera that my baby sister gave me after getting another one. Good stuff. I have to upload them. If anyone knows where I can find the actual transfer cord for ans s630 I would appreciate the info. Apparently, every time we have ordered the supposed cord *3 times* none of them fit! They are like a nanometer off or something. It’s crazy.
Hubby got a few other things like little knicknacks for the house and a gorgeous picture of Jesus from his grandmother’s house. He also got to take a number of photos she had in her private collection. Amazing to see him growing up in those pictures.
We are still planning a trip for 2 weeks in April. I can hardly wait.

Okay, so I am home for a few. I am headed out the door to my friend’s house in a minute so we can hang out. I still have no niece, but that will be remedied in good time. I am mad because when I was at my mom’s I weighed myself. What is it with me? I lose weight, gain it back, lose again, gain again. Being a woman is frustrating!! GRRR. Anyhow, if I don’t get off the computer I am going to be late to my friend’s house. Keep my hubby and sis in your prayers, please. He comes back Wednesday and I can hardly wait.

So I finally decided to go to my mom’s house after complaining and whining and moaning about not wanting to go. I just didn’t want to drive and be around people in my mopey state. I am glad that I listened to wise counsel and headed this way. We are having a blast, and I am watching my sister waddle around with her preggo self. My son is happier here, too, since he was really brooding over his great grandmother’s passing. We took a few days off of homeschool to recover. Husband is still in PR and checking in at times to let me know he is alright, as well as finding out how we are holding up. We all miss each other a lot. Hopefully, the next thing I hear from the husband is that they extended his flight return from Saturday to Sunday so he can be there for all the services and fellowship that follows.

and in a few hours he will be landing in Puerto Rico to pay his last respects to our beloved Grandmother. How I wish to God I could be there, too.
With all the things that have been going on lately, I think I might need to start taking an appetite suppresant. This depression is making me eat like an abused animal. My pants are getting tighter and I am not liking it one little bit. I pray that things begin to look up all around. My shining hope is still there, sparkling at me every day. The rest of it is gloom. As the Bible says:
Psalm 46:1-3, TLB. “God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. And so we need not fear even if the world blows up, and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam; let the mountains tremble!”
Psalm 91:7 LB Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me.
He didn’t say it wouldn’t affect me in some way, but that I would be somehow protected. I am grieved deeply, but I still stand.

After a promising recovery show, my grandmother in law passed over this evening. I knew something didn’t feel right today. Something was just totally off. I couldn’t get my mind right to do anything. I was completely discombobulated. I got myself together just enough to make a mediocre dinner and whisk my child off to church services tonight. The call came in around 8pm.
So now, it is with a heavy heart, I release my last remaining grandmother to God. Yes, she was my grandmother by marriage, but she had a heart of gold. No one could say that she was anything but a beautiful, genuine person. She loved me like her own. She and my son couldn’t understand each other’s words very well, but they both spoke the language of unconditional love. He is angry and questioning why this had to happen. My husband is beside himself with grief. I am trying my best to keep my brave face on so I can hold my family up to God. There weren’t complications, so this is completely unexpected. I am sure that my father in law is having a fit, himself, since she was his mother whom he loved fully and completely.
We all still love you Mami Hilda. You are always going to be the epitome of awesome. No one on this earth will ever make rice like you did, although I have gotten pretty close. Thanks for handing me the secret! We all know that you are now relaxing in Paradise. Say hi to my grandmother and Miss Wendy for me.

should be horsewhipped. I think I had on a pair for about 2 hours and thought I had contracted Plantar Fasciitis! UGH! They hurt so badly, I had people asking me what was wrong with me. They didn’t used to feel so terrible on my feet, but it’s like now I guess I am older and can’t just grin and bear the pain of trying to be pretty anymore. I am not ready to downgrade to Dr. Scholl’s or anything, but it sure does make you understand why so many women do.

I need prayer, but I cannot tell you why. All I can tell you is that this is a day that will either make or break our future. It will determine so much in just a few hours. Please pray that the outcome is agreeable. I am on pins and needles right now. I keep praying and praying and trying to calm my nerves. I am dropping everything, my hands are shaking!!! UGH! Anxiety rears it’s ugly head. I feel an attack coming on full throttle. We leave in another 2 hours. Please pray with us. Thank you all!!!
