Some blogs worth checking out......

I don't usually reference too many blogs on here.......well, my list to the right is getting pretty big!
But I run across so many great ones that I wanted to highlight a couple that I think you should check out!

I don't know how I even ran across this one but check out Nate over on the right. This is a young family that needs lots of prayers and it was kind of neat to me that they live in the Outer Banks......which is where we spend our beach vacation every year! So if you believe, please pray for this family, they need it right now.

Now I have found this one, check to the right...called Funny Homes. I have laughed so hard reading it. I can't even begin to believe that people have homes like that but proof is in the pics!!

And then there is Meg....I just love the great pics she takes, the fact that she has so many kids and keeps such a great sense of fun in their home!

and here's another one that makes me laugh.....Lotta Kids....she is very funny...almost as funny as Cat Woman!!

And I have to mention Precious Parker because here's a kid that I don't know but I just love. And Parker is in my prayers every single night....I hope you will add him to your's.

And if I knew how to do the little linky button, I would but it's just not working for me right now.

Wake up call..........and a serious post!

On Saturday afternoon around 4:00 I went to the Ukrops (our local grocery chain) over by Va Ctr Commons. This was a very busy time of the day.....parking lot full and a lot of people around but the car snob that I am, I park in the very back because I don't want people to ding my car! I couldn't find my cell phone and I had that on my mind as I went to my car. After the guy put my groceries in the trunk, I went to get in my car and flung the door wide open (no one parked around me) Then I spotted my cell phone sitting on the passenger seat half hidden by a beach towel. I checked missed calls and noticed Johnny boy had called about 10 min earlier so I went to that, had my thumb on the "talk" button when I heard a man say "M'am, do you have any money"........well, you can only imagine how that scared me! Oh no! I had not shut my door because I saw my phone and just didn't even think.

So the guy was positioned to where I could not even get my hand to the door handle without brushing against him. I said no to him and he got closer and said "I'm sure you do..I know you have money. I need money for gas" ......again I said no, I do not have any, please move.

the entire time I still had my thumb on the "talk" button which would have dialed Johnny right away and he would have heard what was going on.

Again, he moved even closer to where his head was right about at my face and his voice was even more stern......he said "I know you have money, I need money for gas".

In a stern voice, I said to him "Please move away from my car, I have no money"............he then backed off and I shut the door and locked it........and then my knees started shaking so bad I couldn't move.

I always, always, get in my car and shut the door and lock it.......I cannot believe that I left myself that open! I called Johnny and told him I think I was more mad at myself for being so vulnerable....I know better than that!

It very much served as a huge wake up call to me......and I would like to pass that on to you! Get in the car and lock it...then worry about that damn cell phone.... :)

Torn ACL.....

that's what my little Chrissy girl has in her rear knee.....a bad tear at that! Her rear anterior cruciate ligament is torn and she's not a happy little doggie! They had to muzzle her as she would not let the doc have anything to do with checking her knee....with the muzzle, she gave up and just laid down.

The doc said a lot of time dogs that weigh less than 15 lbs can heal without surgry...by getting injections twice a week for 4 weeks. So we going to try that....and if that doesn't work, she'll need surgery. I can only imagine what that would cost!

She got her first injection in the knee this evening and tried to bit the doc! Now we will go every Monday and Thursday....$22 bucks per injecton. But that's ok...she's my baby.

No title...

I really suck at coming up with titles....haha!
I'm working from home today for a little while. Waiting for the vet office to open so I can make an appt for my little Chrissy girl.
last night she came in the house holding up her back leg. Won't put any weight on it and we don't know if it's her leg, hip or paw....poor little baby.
so I'll work from home, take her to the vet and then decide if I should be home with her or work.....depending on what is wrong.
