CANCER
My grandfather on my mother's side was diagnosed with lung cancer this pas summer. He was not a smoker but lung cancer is the #1 killing cancer, more than breast, prostate and another one that I forget. My uncler (her brother) found out last week that he had Stage 1 lymph node cancer. He had cancer 30 years ago but fought it with chemo and was ok until now. But today they called my mom and said he also has Stage 4 bone marrow cancer that is not curable.
I will probably never understand why people get an illness or disease that kills them. Maybe GOD will tell me when I met him. Maybe, Maybe not. I just pray that before my grandfather or uncle or anyone accepts Jesus as there savior before they pass on. That is the most important thing we will ever do in our lives. We can have the best car, the nicest house, the perfect life or we can be homeless, have no job, no money, no family in either case accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior is still the most important part of our lives. I pray that my family does this. I pray that all of you do this. Not only accept him as LORD AND SAVIOR but live as he would have us to live.
My dad also passed away from cancer. I am curious how many of you have had a family member that has had cancer?

WEATHER
No disrespect to my Northern friends but I don't know how you do it. I do not like cold weather. We had a lot of sleet this past weekend. For 3 days that's all it did. Our lawn is white and looks like snow but it is sleet and it is slick. We don't get a lot of bad weather in Oklahoma, well winter weather that is. They had cleared the highways pretty good. But some of the main streets that we have to drive on are still bad. We go down 23rd st to get home. It is a 5 lane road usually. Now it is only 2 lanes. They cleared out one lane on each side and pushed all of the ice to the other lane making it impossible to use. I think they are doing a horrible job on these streets. They are also pushing this stuff into other roads that cross it and people are getting stuck. It is piled so high there cars, trucks and suv's can't go over it. I will be so glad when this melts but it looks like we may have more snow this weekend. Ugh go away!!!!

TIME
I have a lot of things on my mind. Things I want to do but time is not on my side. I don't know what to do. Let me start with my work and sleep habits. I have to go to bed at 9 pm because i get up at 4 am. If I go to bed any later I am miserable at work. We get up at 4 because we go to the gym in the morning before work. We only have one car. We have to be to work at 7:30 and get off at 4:30. We live 30 minutes from our job and we get home a little after 5. When we get home I have to cook something (if I have not prepared our meals on Sunday) and eat which can take 30 min to 1 hr. so by then it is 6. Now that we have Sixer (our dog) he needs attention. He is a puppy so I am hoping as he gets older he grows out of the stage he is in. I constantly have to watch him because he is always getting into something. If I try to read the bible he is constantly on my lap or bringing me a toy or trying to get my attention. I can't concentrate. I also would like to finish studying for my real estate license, work on a ministry newsletter, read the bible and pray. We are also talking about me going back to school in august to work on my accounting degree. I really feel like time is not on my side. On the weekends I have plenty of free time. But I feel like I need to work on this stuff during the week also. Another thing that bothers me is that I am constantly sleepy. When i start reading or if I try to study I can't concentrate because i am so tired. I try to get plenty of sleep, I eat decent and I work out so I feel like I try to be healthy but I can't figure out why I get tired all of the time. I have been to the Dr and they tested my blood and everything was fine. Please pray for me in that area. I don't know how some of you moms do what you do. I will start praying and asking GOD to guide me in what I need to do and how i can do it. I know he has the answers I just need to talk to him more. I trust him and he always comes through.

ICE STORM
It is freezing outside. Sleet is coming down and sticking to the roads. It's amazing that yesterday it was in the 60's and sunny. Today sleet and in the 20's. That's a 40 degree difference. I know for those that get this stuff on a regular basis it's no big deal but here it's the talk of the city. I think they even have names for it Ice Storm 2007. I kept hearing all these people talking about going to the grocery store yesterday and having to stand in line for an hour. And a lot of people were making fun of them. Not me cause I have to go today in this stuff. NOT FUN. They were smart to go yesterday. Anyway we are closing down at 12 so I am outta here.
Update: We went to the grocery store @ 12pm and they were out of hamburger meat. How do you run out of hamburger meat at a grocery store? There were a lot of empty shelves. My husband and I were talking about how people were buying up stuff like they were going to stuck in there house for two weeks. This is a 2 day ice storm. By Monday everything will be back to normal. I guess everyone needed groceries for the weekend. By the way we go to the grocery store every Friday. We didn't just go because of the ice.

SIXER IS NOT SLEEPING
Sixer is waking up at 11:30 or 12 at night and not wanting to go back to sleep. We get up at 4 a.m. This is not good. Does anyone know if we have him neutered will that change his sleeping/calmness? He is hyper all the time right now. He is 8 months old. I need some advice. My vets office is not very helpful.

I haven't posted any pictures of Sixer lately. He has gotten so big. My how time goes by so fast.
This is Lady, our friends dog. Sixer likes her but she detests him. They also have a cat named Nemo. He hates Sixer also. My poor baby has no friends.
Sixer loved the snow we had in November. It is suppose to snow here again this weekend. We will see. We usually have 1 snow per winter sometimes 2 so if it does snow it will be the 2nd time.
My husband has come to love Sixer. At first he was hesitant to agree on having an inside dog. He wasn't to fond of the idea but now he loves Sixer. He loves how Sixer is so excited to see us when we get home from work.
Sixer had just gotten a bath and needed to snuggle so he could get warm.
This is our friends baby the day he was born. His name is Jaylen. He is precious.
Ok enough pictures.
