When I get home from the interview I am going to clean up the box my new exchange clothes are in....WOW I got some great things this time!! Hope all is well with everyone.

It is just a kind of blah day here. Not a lot of sun but just kind of overcast in a way. It is still hot and humid out. I stuck my head out and that was enough for me. The humidity just hit me in the face. I hate humidity! I just can't take it and don't think I will ever be able to.
Yesterday at church went very well. I had a lot of compliments on the service and everyone seemed to really love the hymns that I chose for it. We sang 4 songs for the simple reason being that I love to sing! I can't sing as well as I could before because of some throat damage from the asthma inhalers (that is a loooong story) but I still love to sing. I use to be a soprano but now I seem to be down to an alto. So anyway back to the service~I think it went very well.
I talked to Pastor last night. He is getting the biopsy report from his dad's brain tumor today. Pastor is in Ohio with his dad, BTW. They are 97% positive that the tumor is a gleoblastoma mass and the prognosis is 1 year with treatment. He will be going through radiation 6-7 weeks at 5 days a week and oral chemo everyday for the same time. Pastor is looking for an extended care facility for him now. Please keep prayers going for Pastor's dad and Pastor too. I would so appreciate it. It is hard taking care of a sick parent and when they are so far away it is even harder. Pastor told me that he will have to go to Ohio about once a week to check on how things are going when he gets his dad into extended care. He will go out during the day and stay the night and then come back. It is going to tire him out for sure. Pastor is not only our pastor but he is going to school working on his dissertation for his PhD. He is one busy man.
I think I will go to the library today after Bill goes to work. I have some books that are overdue. The library usually loves me when I take out books. I forget all about them and then there is fines due. lol Oh well! I at least financially support the library and not only with our tax dollars either. haha I belong to the summer reading club. When we read a book we fill out a little slip of paper on how we liked the book and if we would reccommend it to a friend. A few summers ago I won a gift certificate to a book store. I would love to do that again. I love bookstores. I love reading!
My house is a mess already. Bill has a habit of just dropping and leaving. I just can't change that from happening either. I have been working on that and he just won't budge! He was better at picking up after himself before. The older he gets the more he drop and leaves. I just don't know what to do with him other than to just turn my head and keep picking up after him. haha
I guess I had better get going. I am sending love and hugs to all and prayers are going up where they are needed. Special ones are going up for those in need.
Linda, I am keeping you in prayers for your job. I know just what you mean about the job though. I really need one too but there just doesn't seem to be much around here. I keep checking though. Make sure you let us know how the interview goes. We are anxious to find out about it.
Good Morning Linda,
I'm praying hard and crossing finger and toes for ya!
Good Day Everyone Else,
My trip to Michigan for our annual McInerney family reunion camp out was pretty awesome. My Uncle (my father's brother) gave a great toast to him when we toasted for our first meal together Friday night. It was such a great toast that it brought tears to both my brother and I's eyes. It rained all day Saturday. Then Sunday morning around 4 am there was a huge thunderstorm. We faired well though. Quinntin handled camping very well and liked being outside a lot. He entertained and cracked everyone up.
I'm glad to hear that the clothing exchange went so dang well. I'm hoping that I'll be able to make the next one.
A little less then two weeks left before the wedding. This week I'm working on the flowers for the groom, groommens, and the mothers to wear. Then this coming Sunday my bridesmaids and I will get together to shope for jewelry together and have a late lunch/early dinner. I have a lot of emotions running gambitly. Excited but scared... and all kinds of other emotions. But I am happy to be looking forward to seeing so many dear and close friends and family including some of you on here.
Life is Good!
Blessings
Jodi

Last night we had a heck of a storm come thru.

stop to get something to eat and the rain broke loose it was cold and felt good, didnt last long so we went to walmart to get school supplies and then to walgreens to pick up pics and a guy came running in saying the sirens were goinf off.
I looked outside and it was horrible black hanging clouds but we headed for home and as we were pulling out we seen a tornado forming across the river in kentucky.I had seen 1 before but my boys hadnt..we just hauled tail home and prayed everyone was safe..

I'm finally back on here- been a busy couple of days. I worked 4 days in a row, and ended up coming home from church yesturday, had lunch & slept for 2 hrs!Dh said I was snoring, all i knew was I was TIRED!! Alot has been going on there, & it has been hectic! I only hope they get things straightened out soon, & I don't have to work on the weekends all the time. I had a 9 hr. day on Fri. then turned around & opened on Sat. Oh well, at least I have a job right now. The economy is really scarry, & now that we are officially in a recession, things will get even tougher,I think.
Linda, I'm praying you find something soon! Try the schools- who knows, they just might have an opening you'd enjoy!
THANKS to Robin for doing such a wonderful job with the exchange-it sounds like everyone had a great time & got lots of goodies! Thanks for sharing you reciepes everyone- hopefully I can make the next one!
Jo- just remember you are marrying the love of your life- all the "little stuff" will come together- & you'll have a lifetime together to laugh about all of the silly things you use to worry about. I wish I could be there, but have to work. You know my heart & thoughts are with you both! Give Quinn a hug for me, & tell everyone hi for me!
I went to the Neurogogist Thurs. & found out I am going to have another catscan on my brain this coming Thurs. It seems the found a lg. vien in my brain that has some blockage, which could be where some of my problems come from. DH is going to take me since I have to take some meds. before that will make me sleepy.
Does anyone know why I can't set the "smilys" to work? I don't know what has happened, but it started last week, & I still can't get them to work. :(
Have a great day everyone- sending you all my (((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

ENDURE,





I just have done some cleaning, thought I would pop in and chat with my family. It looks like we need a lot of prayers here, you all are in my prayers.I need to walk a little more today and do the stairs a few times, getting stronger each day. A lot social engagements coming and I need to be at my best health.But today I need to ask for prayers too.
My little Hannah (6 Months) is going for testing on her hearing,her doctor noticed as well as my daughter that something is not right. So, if I may ask would you keep Hannah in your prayers. I am going with my daughter in the morning for the testing. Love to all.
Sending Prayers and Healthy Wishes to Those in Need.
Hugs & Blessings, Gail
