The J's have it!

Darling Patrice, is having a par-tay over at her blog. She is passing out letters like they are money! I am supposed to write 10 things I love that start with the letter J.

Drumroll please.......

Jesus - He is my number 1 and my Lord and Savior.
Junior Jeanette's - Gab & Ab, my babies.
Jim (& Clara) - my parents, simply because they put up with me :}
Julie, Janeie & Jim - My sisters and brother - they made my childhood SO much fun!
Julie, Janeie & Jim's kiddos - gotta show the neices and nephews the love.
July - The month I married my love, Bill, 20 years ago this year - I was 10, that is my story and I'm stickin' to it!
Jello - cause it is fun to jiggle.
Jif - my absolute favorite peanut butter of all times!
Jewelry - specifically the piece of jewelry that is a girls best friend :}
Jeans - love my jeans!

There you go, my list of my favorite J's. Wasn't that fun?! Go ahead, try it! Just leave me a comment telling me you want to play and I'll email you a letter. I'll be nice and not send out any Q, X, Y, or Z's.

Hugs,

Jeanette

Heavy Heart

Blogging friends I have a plea!

I was checking friend status' on Facebook and one of my neighbors posted today that she found out her husband is dying.

Brian has a brain tumor and has had the tumor for about 12 years going in and out of remission. They have two young boys about 8 and 6 years old. Brian has been going through severe health issues the last 6 months. Angie has never left his side. They are both believers so their faith rests with our Lord but they are stuggling right now. I'm sure she has questions running through her mind of how she will take care of two young boys on her own and when she has to go back to work where will she go? What will she do? She hasn't worked for 7 years and with this economy where will she go?

Please pray for this family! I am guessing there is no more the doctors can do for this family and have called off all further medical help (this is a quess as she has not updated her blog to fill in the details). Please Lord, help this family through this difficult time and bless these last days with your mercy and comfort!

Along the same lines, there is a family at our church whose daughter was diagnosed with a tumor. She is 14 years old. They are headed up to Chicago on Wednesday to see a specialist in this kind of tumor (there is a 70% chance that it is benign). Their insurance may not cover it as it is obviously out of network. They are concerned about what the medical expense may bring and are pleading with the insurance to cover the costs as there is no medical personnel in the network that knows how to handle this tumor. I hate the way insurance companies feel that they can run our lives with what they will pay and what they won't. It just makes my blood boil!

So, my friends, please be in prayer for these families. You can keep up with my neighbor through her blog. On my blog roll it is under "Keep Believing".

It is with a heavy heart that I bid you all good night.

Hugs and tears,

Jeanette

Just another day.

Today was one of those marathon days. I left this morning at 10 and got home at 9:45. It was a fun day minus waiting for Gabby to get through her volleyball practice that lasted 3 hours.

I will get to stay home tomorrow and iron some clothes, watch tv and chill with a good book. I haven't relaxed in a long time so it will be next to heaven.

I just have one quick question for ya.

Is anybody feeling the "change"? Just wondering! Cause we have had a new president for two whole days and so far I am just seeing the same ole same ole. Corrupt politicians voting in corrupt politicians. Just because they say they are sorry doesn't mean that it makes everything ok. They are simply sorry they got caught. Others would have been fired and nevered allowed in that field again, except for our government - they are all forgiving. What is up with that????

OK, time for me to go to bed!

Hugs,

Jeanette

My day in a nutshell and don't forget to look in the mirror people!

Went to Bible study (Daniel Precept Part 2)

Had lunch and visited with my mom and Julie.

Went to work and made 11 cakes.

Picked up kids from practices.

Threw pizzas in the oven for dinner.

Hung a can crusher on the wall in the garage.

Put on my jammies.

Washed my face.

Applied a face mask (cause it is part of the cost of looking beautiful).

Opened the mail, which included multiple boxes.

Washed off my face mask.

Ate dinner.

Wrapped up in a blanket to start catching up on my blog buddies.

That's it, my day in a nutshell. Isn't my life exciting?! And because I have some really funny friends that send me really funny emails, I am including this picture. Just a reminder that it is ALWAYS a good idea to check yourself out in the mirror (both front and back) BEFORE leaving the house!








And because I am such a good friend, I will leave you with that vision in your head! Really no need to thank me :}

Hugs!

Jeanette

Boring...

My day just keeps going and going. I have one load of laundry left to do. I just snuggled into my jammies for the night. Wish I could have stayed in them all day, yep I do.

Tomorrow the kids go back to school. They only have one snow day left so I'm pretty sure that unless the weather is REALLY bad, they will not have another snow day this school year. The girls have been dealing with the snow days pretty good. Abby has been working on a project that is due the end of next week and she is almost done with it. She is happy that she is so far along on it.

I have decided that I will finish replacing all the light fixtures in our house this year. We built our house 10 years ago so all the brass fixtures were "in" and it has bugged me for the last year that the fixtures need to be replaced. I did replace two ceiling fans last year so I only have one of those left to do. I am having a hard time finding a fixture for the dining area. I don't like fixtures that hand down because I ALWAYS hit my head on them. So I am looking for a semi-flush in a satin pewter. I found one today that I really like but I am not paying over $100 on one fixture! I paid less than that for my ceiling fans. I know, I'm a cheapskate :} I'll find something, eventually.

Absolutely nothing is going on tonight so I'm going to wrap it up.

Thanks for reading my boring post!

Hugs,

Jeanette
