Please bear with me while I try and update this. I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything. The first part of March I had to stop working and things seem to be going down ever since then. My feet have gotten really really bad, it hurts to even stand up or even put any pressure on them anymore. The polyneuropathy in them has gotten worse and the medication the doctor had given me to take I had to increase due to the pain but when that happened it counteracted against my seizure medicine and I had to decrease it. I am so thankful that I haven't been having any problems with the seizures lately. I try and do things around the house but it isn't very successful on a daily basis. When I quit working the polyneuropahty was all the way up to my knees but since then it has gone back down to just my ankles and feet, but is it ever painful. Say some prayers for me.
I told Richard that since I have been doing B.L.A.S.T. at church my feet have been getting worse and I told him that it is nothing but the devil trying to get me to stop but that is not going to happen. Those boys are so special and are such a blessing to be with each week. We had been working on the Armor of God and I had them lay on a piece of paper and drew them on it. We would work on a different piece of armor each week and when finished they have a soldier of themself wearing the Armor of God . It is really a blessing to be with them on Sunday. Keep praying that we can find someone to help us, we really need someone.
Ever want something to do for children that isn't messy? Take a bottle of water and put one of the individual packets of kool-aid in it, put the lid back on it and let them shake it up. One week I had found a box of the individual kool-aid (but this one was lemonaide) that Missy would take to school with her, and decided that since she doesn't want them anymore. I decided to use them for the boys. When the boys got into B.L.A.S.T. I had a bottle of water and a packet of kool-aid sitting out for each one of them. I would put the kool-aid into the water and put the lid back on it and let the boys have it. They got to shake the bottle up and make the water turn into kool-aid and one of the boys told me that they got to make kool-aid like God made the earth (we had been working on Noah's Ark). Ever since they ask if they can have their water/kool-aid ever Sunday.
Missy is a senior this year and has started this year out in a bang. She called me the Monday and told me that she was elected President of FCCLA Club. I was doing my usual daily thing yesterday when I got a call from the school and one of her teachers was calling to tell me thank you for letting Missy take her class and she is really excited about having her in her class. It is so hard to believe that she is a Senior this year. Her and her daddy (Dawg) really have gotten close and are always picking on each other. Want a funny laugh, Richard was in the bedroom and Missy took him some popcorn in "Dawg's bowl". Those two are always picking on each other, they get to be really funny some of the things they do.
Please, keep us in your prayers.

Hard to believe that today is February 28th, yesterday Ricky was 23 years old. Doesn't seem like that long when the doctor told Richard and I that he wanted to induce labor. I will never forget that day (February 27th). Richard and I were in one of the labor rooms with a wall between us and the lady in the next room. Sounded like she was having a really hard time. One time she started screaming and I looked over at Richard and he asked me "Are you sure you want to do this?" (Kinda late to decide not to have a baby). Everything went really good and we had a beautiful little boy who is now 23 years old and has a little boy of his own. Richard and I are really proud of him and will never forget the lady on the other side of the wall yelling and screaming. He has been such a blessing and are so thankful for being able to enjoy the past 23 years watching him grow up.

Ricky and Missy are both such a blessing and are growing up so fast. Missy is a junior in high school - that is really hard to believe. Richard and I were talking the other day and kinda got a laugh, we were talking about when Missy gets a boyfriend, that poor guy is going to be on the front line. Ricky and Honey are both really protective of Missy. We get a laugh every day. Honey is really protective with her. She doesn't like anyone to bother Missy. Going to be interesting to see what happens.

It is really early this morning,. Things haven't been so good the past couple of weeks. Between the dust storm that blew through a week ago Thursday setting off asthma/bronchitis, severe headaches, catching the bug that my co-workers had (one was out 2 1/2 days sick, another 1 whole day with the stuff that has been going around and another out with the stomach virus ), my Dilantin level getting off and making me really weak. It has been hard just to stand up, I was either in the bed or on the couch and not getting up unless I had to unless Richard or Missy were here (just to be safe I stayed down or if I did get up I would hold on to something).

Anyone that reads this please keep me in your prayers. I need all the prayers I can get to get my strength back and things getting back to normal.

Thank you Richard and Missy for all the love and help you have given me.

Today is Monday, January 28th, it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I have been really busy in more than one way. The holidays are over and things are beginning to slow down some.

Ever feel like nothing ever goes right? Well, it has been that way lately but Sunday during BLAST was so encouraging. Josh, was the only one there and the two of us worked on our Ten Commandment booklet. We pasted the words, stone on the outside and then on the inside we had a picture for each commandment. (Thank you Missy for finding all the pictures and printing everything out for us. They are really good). We looked and talked about each of the commandment and the picture, we didn't get to finish it yet. And then I showed him the picture that went with the commandment and he could tell me the commandment and what it mean't. That there was such an encouragment. I am so thankful that I am able to work with them.

Missy has really been a blessing. Richard and I came home from work the other day and walked in the door and let me tell you what. Soon as we opened the door to go inside, we got a HUGE surprise. Missy had dinner all cooked and ready to eat. She even had the table all set and ready to sit down and eat. Richard gave her a hard time about a candle lit on the table. That wasn't the first time she has done that lately, it has been so nice coming home from work and having supper sitting on the table ready to eat. You are such a blessing and we both love you very much.

Yesterday, Sunday, Kelan's mother, Andi, stayed in B.L.A.S.T. to help out. We talked about Christmas and the meaning of it. I had some yellow card stock at home that I made a circle and blue-green card stock to use for the ribbons. We were sitting at the table making a name tag with their name in the center of the circle, B.L.A.S.T. on one ribbon and SAN ANGELO FIRST ASSEMBLY OF GOD on the other ribbon. Andi wrote everything on each of the ribbons and while she was doing that we were talking about Christmas and what it was about. There was some extra ribbon so we made a chain. We would ask them a question and if they got the answer right (What is Christmas about - Jesus birthday) we would add to the chain. While Andi was finishing writing everything on the name tags Kelan, Josh and I were playing our game with the ball, (we bounce it to each other and tell them "Jesus, loves _______________" as we bounce it back and forth to each other. We talk about who gave us the balls, whose house this is, church. They both tell you that God gave us the balls, and that this is God's house. It is so wonderful and rewarding in so many ways being with them on Sunday.
I thank you God for blessing me with the opportunity to work with them. They are your Special Angels sent from above, and I get a blessing being with them every week. Just seeing the excitement and look on their face when we finish working on something, and how hard they work is such a blessing in more than one way.

WOW, Jr. just walked up and handed me a check for $200.00 and told me Merry Christmas. That was totally unexpected.

3 Weeks and counting

Well, it was 3 weeks Saturday since the accident. I am so ready to get my shoe back on and do things with Missy and Richard. I really do miss the time we spend together, even though it may be working most of the time. She has been asking me to go to Wal Mart with her but we haven't gone yet.
I did make it to church Sunday. Little Josh is such a sweetheart. He was so concerned about me and wanted to know what happened. He told me that he had been praying for me while I was out.
I got to put my shoe on this morning just long enough to go from the garage to the car and from the car to the front door of my office (you touch the front of Missy's car standing at the garage door if that gives you an idea of how long it was on) and then it came off fast.
Missy and I went to get her letter jacket fixed, again, yesterday and it will be at lease 2 to 3 weeks before it is ready. Hope they will have it done before Christmas since it was going to be her gift from us to her.
Well, guess I better get back to work.

This has been a really long week and am I glad it is Friday. Ever feel like you are nothing but a problem. Right now that is how I feel. I'm sitting here at work right now trying to file folders, and the morning usual and not bump my foot. It is really hard. I am so thankful for my job and the people that I work with. Everyone here has been such a big help. They all are so helpful. I feel like I haven't done anything but be a burden to everyone.
Missy and Richard are so wonderful. I don't know what I could do without them. By the time I get off of work I am really exhausted and in pain, it is hard to walk some days my whole foot is hurting so bad. The two of them try so hard to keep me off my foot, it is really hard to keep from going straight to bed when I get home off of work with my foot propped up. But I try to keep going.
Thank you Missy and Richard for everything you do.

The last 2 weeks have been long. I am so tired of not being able to do things. Missy has asked me to go to Wal-Mart with her several times but I couldn't. I haven't been to church in 2 weeks and do I ever miss the boys. Hopefully, I will be able to go Sunday even if it will be hard to move around. I am so thankful for such a wonderful family. Richard and Missy have been such a blessing.
Work has really been a chore. It is really hard to sit with your foot on a stool with a heating pad under one part of your desk and work at another area of your desk but I am doing it along with other things. Sr, Jr and Robin are keep telling me to go sit down and stay off my foot. They don't even want me to stand up, but that doesn't happen.
Well, guess I better go and get to work (seems like I'm slow as a turtle, but I keep going).

A VERY SPECIAL DAUGHTER

I am so thankful for being blessed with such a wonderful daughter. She is an angel from above. This past weekend (Saturday) I dislocated and broke my toe and have been in severe pain and unable to get around very good. Missy has been such a big help both around the house and just by being there and showing her love.

It doesn't seem like she should be 17 tomorrow (Friday, November 30) but she will. I remember the day she was born, she was so beautiful and is such a blessing. I enjoy watching and hearing her and her daddy, they are always picking on each other. If you ever hear her talk about "Dawg" that is her daddy. I am so thankful for having her as a daughter. She is a daughter that every mother dreams of having. Thank you God for blessing me and Richard with such a wonderful daughter.

Love you lots and thank you for all your help.

Yesterday in B.L.A.S.T. was interesting but very rewarding day. We have been working on the 10 commandments. The boys took the stones made out of cardstock stained with a tea bag last week and we are now working on a booklet. It is really fun to make them, you take a freshly used teabag and press it on a piece of paper and when it is all done it looks really neat. The tea bag we were using kinda sorta broke so there were tea grinds all over the paper which made it look even more real. When it was all finished it was really neat looking. Looked just like a stone with dirt on it.
We are now working on a little booklet with the 10 commandments. This is the first time I have ever done something like this, I got the idea from one of the projects she did at school. When you open it up there will be a commandment on one side and a picture of that commandment on the next page (so when you open it up you will see the commandment and a picture that relates to that commandment (ie. Honor Your Father and Mother - put that on one side and put a picture of father and mother on the other side (i would like to make a heart and have the picture of father and mother inside it).
Yesterday, was really interesting but rewarding at the same time. We were working on our little 10 commandment booklet. It was very hard to keep their attention on doing it. Kelan wanted to play with a car he brought and Josh kept wanted to look at a book. We were talking about what made God have a happy face or a sad face. Out of no where this thought popped inside my head. I made a sad :( face and a :) on the board and put their initial J or K under one. When they saw their initial under :( it made a big change vs when their initial was under :). Just seeing their initial under
:( made a major difference. Kelan got so excited when he saw his initial go from under the :( to the :). It is such a blessing being with them and seeing how hard they try to do whatever is asked of them.
When it was time to go home Josh and I went into the room with the other kids. He was talking to the lady that was filling in for Neill and Melissa and was telling her what we did and wanted to show her his booklet he started and the Noah's Ark mural. We went back to "our room" and got them and he showed them to her and was telling her how much fun it is in B.L.A.S.T.. With a little help he told her what B.L.A.S.T. stands for told her that we have alot of fun in there. Just hearing him say that was really encouraging and makes me want to do more with them. If you ever want to come visit us one Sunday you are welcome to.

Well, guess I better get to work.

It's Friday and Richard is home

When I got home last night it was so nice. I turned onto our street and saw a car sitting in front of your house. It was Richard he had gotten home earlier than he expected. It was so nice to have him home again. Not only was Missy and I glad he was home but little Jewell wouldn't let him out of her sight. Honey was glad to see him, because he is the one that gives her and Jewell snacks all the time. He is home and now she can get snacks. It is funny Richard can tell her she had her snacks already and Honey will look at him and give him her big "puppy eyes" (that is a little joke between him and Missy-her big eyes can melt his heart if she looks at the right way with her "puppy eyes"). And what does he do? That's right goes and gets them (Jewell and Honey) a snack. What is funny is that he will break the little puppy stick in little pieces for Jewell. We were talking the other day about Ricky, April and DJ coming up and he started laughing and said that his dog "Jewell" isn't going home with them this time. We both started laughing and said that if they ever decide to take Jewell back (she has been staying with us until they got their own place and then would take her home with them) they are going to have a hard time. He started laughing and said "Jewell is my puppy now and they can't have her back" and laughing the whole time he said that. It is almost impossible to separate them and her and Honey. When we go on our SPCA nursing home visits they don't get very far from each other. One day Missy was riding her bike and took Honey with her. Little Jewell stood at the front door and cried the whole time Honey was outside.

I woke Missy up to get ready for school this morning and the first thing that she said was Bubba and DJ will be here today. That is about all she has talked about this week.

Well, guess I better get to work and try to get some things done before it is time for Richard to come and get me for lunch.

Today is Wednesday and am I ever ready for Thursday afternoon to get here. Richard has been out of town at school relating to his job and will be back Thursday night. It is really hard to believe that we have been married 27 years. It seems only like yesterday I got a letter in the mail and that night we talked on the phone until 3 am about getting married. I have the letter put in a really special place where nothing will happen to it. Seems like when he is gone the word sleep is not allowed in this house. I go to bed at night and wake up ever hour and hear the smallest noise in the house. Last night I had the timer on the tv set for 120 minutes thinking that maybe with the noise I would go to sleep. But that didn't work very good. I turned the tv off and then noticed that the screen was glowing. I will be so glad when Richard gets home and so will Missy. She is counting the days/hours until "dawg" (their nickname for each other) get home along with the days/hours until bubba, April and DJ get here (they will be here Friday).

I have been so blessed with such a wonderful husband and children. I often catch myself thinking about what my daddy would think of them if he was alive today. He got killed on a job related accident when I was 10 months old. I can remember hearing my mother and grandmother talking about when I was 6 months old and had a really bad seizure and the doctors stayed by my side working with me from 6pm to 6am without leaving and finally told them that was all they could do. My grandmother had people praying for me all over (she had contacted her church and they started a prayer chain.) and here I am today blessed with such a wonderful family. When my father and grandfather got word of what happened they both left work and drove straight to the hospital (they were working out of town). By listening to mother and gramdma talk daddy was really a wonderful person. Mother showed me a picture she had of a crow sitting on a post and smoking a cigarette, does that seem real? but it is. She has talked about all the different things daddy would do and that he would always put his family before anything he wanted to do. I catch myself wishing that he was alive today so that he could meet Richard and my little family and of course my 1st grandson. I know that he would be really happy. I remember when we (my brothers and myself) were growing up mother would take us outside at night and show us a star and tell us "that is your daddy looking down at you". Growing up I would go outside and look up at the sky and there daddy was looking down on me. Even today, I do the same thing. I remember showing Ricky and Missy the star and tellling them the story about it.

Daddy if you were only alive today you would be so happy to see what a wonderful family I have been blessed with. I know that you are always looking down on us and know what a wonderful family I have. My mother tells me that Richard has me spoiled rotten and I am the first to admit I am. We have a little joke between the three of us (Richard, mother and myself) that whatever Lisa wants Lisa gets. When we first got married, Richard and I, he would send me a plant every month on the 30th (we got married August 30, 1980). At one time I had over 50 house plants in the little house we were living in. I can remember this one plant I saw at Shirleys Florist and fell in love with it. It was an elephant ear ivy and was over 6 feet tall. He told me one afternoon that I needed to come home from work and get home as soon as possible. I asked him why and he told me that someone was coming over (never said who) and when I opened the door what did I see. Yes, it was the ivy I saw and told him about. It was doing really good until we moved into the house we had built. Seems like no plants like to live in this house. Probably because it doesn't have alot of windows to let the sun in.

Well, guess I better go and try to get some rest. Richard I can't wait till you get home Thursday night so that I can sleep all night.

Its Saturday and I'm sitting here at work trying to get caught up on being out for a week. Missy and I were suppose to go to SPCA today but I let Missy go so Richard and I could come clean the office and I just stayed up here (will call one of them to come pick me when I get finished).

Missy sure seems to be excited about her "bubba" coming down. That is about all she talks about is her "bubba". We went on our usual Friday night store trip and all she wanted to do was look at toys and clothes for DJ. and talk about what she wants to buy him and where she wants to take him. I think that Ricky is ready to come home to see her. He called last night and talked to all three of us for I don't know how long.

Well, guess I better get back to work so I can go home.

Last night was interesting. The four of us, Missy, her friend, her mother and myself) were in the living room with the door open. Honey started barking like she always does when she sees something move outside and Missy saw a man dragging his trash and putting it in several different places.

Well it is getting close to Ricky and his little family to come. Next Friday they are suppose to be here. Richard is going to be gone to school Monday thru Thursday and will be back sometime Thursday night. We, Missy and I, are giving him a hard time about him being gone all week and leaving us to get everything ready for them to come but it will get done. We are really excited about them coming down. Missy is counting the days and has all kind of plans for her and DJ.

Well, guess I better get to work and try to get caught up. I have so much work I need to do from being out a whole week.

Today has been a lazy day. Missy and I went to the Cedar Manor nursing home with Jewell and Honey. The people there got such a joy out of seeing all the dogs, and a cat (a lady brougt her hairless cat for the first time).
There was this one lady that loves Jewell so much. She saw us coming and started pushing her wheelchair to the door to let us in as fast as she could. She was so excited. That really makes it worth going. I can remember before we (Missy and I) started going to S.P.C.A. Missy would not go inside a nursing home. She was scared to death of it and anything related to it. But now she can't wait to get there with her Honey and Jewell. I can remember the first time we went there was this little man sitting on the couch. The nurses told us that he just sits there and doesn't talk or do anything but sit there. Missy brought Honey in and she jumped on the couch beside him and laid her head on his leg. A minute later his hand started moving over toward Honey. He started petting her and then here comes a big smile on his face along with his eyes. He didn't want Honey to leave. We went to this one room and Honey jumped up on the bed beside this lady and stayed there (like it was her bed and she was not going to get down). The lady got so excited. Her face was full of happiness. Just spending an hour taking Honey and Jewell to the nursing homes really is a reward. They really think it is neat when we dress them up. One time Honey was jumped up in one of Missy's Easter dress she had when she was little and Jewell had her wedding dress on. That day there were so many smiles and excitement coming from the people there. It is really rewarding taking them there and if anyone is interested in going with us you are welcome.
Missy is such a rewarding daughter. She is over babysitting right now. A little girl and one of the boys in my Bible Learning and Studying Together (it is for "special needs children" at church ). We were doing a Noah's Ark project, and made a mural of it. One Sunday we were going across to the main church to watch a movie with the IMPACT kids. Before we went there I read the story of Noah's Ark and we found the animals on the mural (had it laying on the floor) and then played a game. After talking about Noah and him following God they got into a line and stood real still with their hands to their side and walked in line around a table. It was really hard for them to do but they did it. I was telling them that they did a really good job and we were all very proud of them. Before we went over to the main building they lined up in front of the door and walked over there in a line with their hands to their side and when we went back to "our room", we were sitting in the floor and I was telling them that they did a very good job and then one of the boys asked "Did we make God happy?" I told him that God was really happy and proud of them doing such a good job. It is so rewarding to be with them I don't miss playing my Flute in service at all. They work so hard to do what you ask them to do. It may not seem hard but to them it is a challenge.
Well, guess I better go and get things ready for the morning.

Wierd Things About Me

7 weid things about me? Well here they are:

1. When I was growing up I can remember my mother preparing liver with creamed potatoes and I enjoyed that so much. Today, well it is a whole different story I very rarely get it.(Richard can't handle the smell of it when it is cooking, Missy on the other hand just doesn't like it).
2. Some people think I'm wierd because I am willing to go in and clean/repair houses that are really really bad. (one house was so bad we had to open all the windows before and during being there.
3. Missy and I have what we call "movie night" on Friday nights (sometimes other nights also) where we stay up all night and watch movies until we fall asleep on the couch. You should try that it is alot of fun.
4. During the winter I fix what is called "Musical Oranges". First time I did that Missy didn't know what they were and how to eat them. All to make it is an orange and a soft pepermint stick (the only time you can find them is this time of year). You take the orange and make it really soft without breaking the peeling. Then take the pepermint stick and insert it through the top or bottom of the orange and then suck on the peppermint stick and guess what that is the musical orange.
5. I enjoy dressing Jewell up and taking her to nursing homes all dressed up. We, Missy and I, dressed up Jewell in a wedding dress and Honey in an Easter dress she had gotten when she was little one Saturday and took them to one of the nursing homes and when we were going there we sure got some looks as we were driving down the road. Missy and I are members of the SPCA program (Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
6. If I want something different to wear I can wear Missy's clothes. I have been told that is not the way it is. You daughter goes to your closet not you going to her closet.
7. What we call "family time" isn't like other families, we do things like working on things around our home or work on other houses. That is "family time" to us instead of going out and spending $.

Today is Thursday, November 1, 2007. The last 2 weeks have been really hard. I had been feeling off balance and a week ago Sunday it hit and do I mean hit. We, Richard, Missy and myself, got home from church and I laid down (like Missy and I usually do) and don't remember much until this past Saturday. About the only thing I do remember is a nurse trying to do some blood work and she couldn't find the vain she wanted and was digging around with the needle in my left arm and did it ever hurt. I can remember telling her to try a certain place on my other arm and it didn't take but just a second after that. Late that afternoon the nurse called and told me that my Dilantin count was up to 32 and it shouldn't get over 20. (No wonder I was feeling no pain!) Needless to say I was in bed the rest of the week. I tried to go to work Thursday morning (but that didn't last long), and my co-workers, especially Sr. kept telling me I didn't need to be there. Well, when Richard came and picked me up for lunch I didn't make it back. I finally made it back to work Monday, but still having to take it a little slow. I have been really busy all week long and Sr. keeps checking on me to make sure that I am doing ok. My balance still isn't the best but it is getting better. Sure will be glad to get back to myself.

Missy has been so wonderful, anything I needed or needed done she was always right there. She is such a blessing to have as a daughter.

She shared some exciting news that she had gotten from her Bubba. They (Ricky, April and little DJ) will be here the week before Thanksgiving for about 3 days. Let me tell you what that is about all Missy talks about is seeing her Bubba. (Sure is funny before he graduated from high school and got married they didn't get along very well. Since then I have never heard them in an argument.). She is really excited about them coming down.

I have been blessed with the most wonderful husband, Richard. He has been right there by me the past two weeks. He would come home every morning and bring me a Dr. Pepper (I have to have my Dr. Pepper everyday) and picks Missy up and takes her to school, picks her up from school and brings her home in the afternoon. He does all this between working at his job and taking care of everything here at home.

I started back to work Monday and have been able to go everyday this week. After being out for a whole week, I have been a really busy week. But is sure is nice being back to work and will I ever be glad to back to the normal daily activities.

Thanks Missy and Richard for all the help you have given me the past two weeks. I love you both very much.

Busy Busy Saturday

Last night Missy wanted to watch a movie (on Friday nights the two of us have what we call a movie night-thats where the two of us sleep on the couch and watch movies all night, or until we fall asleep). We both really enjoy our time together, it is alot of fun just the two of us doing something together like that. You may wonder where Richard is? Well, he is in the bedroom on the computer-I guess that could be Richard and his computer night (he likes to play games and do other kinda things on it to wind down from the hard week at work).

Got up this morning and started going. Had to finish this one house we were working and then get another one done and in between that we had to go to another house and put a sign up in the yard. That made the day go by really fast and I'm ready to call it a day but still have to get some things done. Missy called and told me that Uncle Terry (my brother), Dawn and the baby are coming to San Angelo to see "mema". They are going to be coming out for dinner tonight so I need to get the house cleaned, get in the shower and get my hair done along with get dinner planned and cooked before they get here. Look forward to seeing them it has been almost a year if not longer since I have seen them. Missy is really excited about seeing them. Her and Uncle Terry are always sending messages to each other and talking about what is going on up here and also down there.

Well, guess I better get busy so I can have everything done before they get here.

Lisa

Today started out in a hurry. Today, we (Missy and I) were almost at Lake View and we noticed she didn't have her badge on. Well, we had to turn around and hurry home get it and try to get back to school ASAP. (They won't let the students in the building unless they have their badge on and where it can be seen.) Well, we made it back and ever since then this day has been a crazy one and am I ready for it to be over with.

We, Richard and I, still have to go check out a house and find out what is needed to fix it on our way home. We probably won't get home until after 7:00, which is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours late. I am so thankful that the company I work for let us do things that is needed and reimburse us for doing it. It sure does help.

I've been here in the office alone except for maybe 2 hours. Everyone is out in the field measuring houses (doing appraisals). It sure is nice when I am here alone. I did get one mission accomplished this morning before everyone left. Robin, the girl I work with, and I have been talking about how bad we need another file cabinet and so before they left (Sr. and Robin), we both hit him up again (haha) and he told me to order another one. But being my luck the first one they brought out was a letter size and not legal so they had to take it back. Sure was keeping my fingers crossed that they had another one (legal size) and they did!!! Now the chore begins in getting the files divided up and moved into the other filing cabinets (only have 1 for all my rental files, which is getting really full, and about 20 for files of appraisals done) and is that going to be a chore and take some time to get done. But it will be worth it when it is all done.

Well, it is time for Richard to get here so we can go and check this house out on our way home.

Today is going to be really crazy!!

Today is already 10:30, I've been going in circles since I got here at work this morning and it isn't going to slow down any. Well, we got the house finished last night. Called the inspector this morning and let him know that the house is ready for inspection hopefully it will pass. If n0t we will have some more things to do on that house along with another one we were given yesterday.

Missy is such a special person (not only because she is our daughter). She works so hard and tries her best on everything she does. Richard and I had to go work on a house after we got off work yesterday and stopped the house long enough to change clothes and get the rest of the things we needed. Missy was ready to go and help and she did a really good job on everything she did.

Well, guess I better get to work. I have a basket full of things plus things coming in that needs to be done today.
