Blog happy....

I just had a thought.....

I need to go buy chocolate. LOTS of chocolate. I have much to celebrate. My cousin and I use chocolate for EVERYTHING; sad things, happy things, watching movies, talking (which we do a LOT of). And it doesn't matter the chocolate. We will try anything, as long as it includes the cocoa bean. She will be home THIS WEEK!!!! We MUST have chocolate to celebrate!!

Grandma's chemo is going "well". She hasn't been AS tired, but that is mainly in part to her now being in tune with her body and knowing when she needs to get in for fluids before it gets too bad. PLEASE remember to add her to your prayers every night. We need to abuse this miracle to its fullest.

I am a TERRIBLE Christian. I ask for prayers, and I really believe in the power of prayer. The thing is, I don't have enough "knee time". Rephrase: I don't MAKE enough "Knee time". My prayers come at random intervals when I am washing dishes or reading a book and think of someone and remember that they need my prayers. And most times, when I go to pray, I can't remember who all I needed to pray for, so I ask God to look back in my memory for me. Is that good enough? I don't feel in my heart that it is, but I think God is still on my side and the side of those I care about.

I have become an aunt to a little niece! I now have one nephew that lives in Wichita Kansas and a niece who is in Huntsville Alabama. They are both too far away for my liking, but oh well..... they WILL know who their "Cool Aunt Nikki" is when they are older and mine will be the house they want to visit every summer for a few weeks and on their Christmas breaks. And if I have to pay to get them here, so be it. They are my babies!!!

This is all for now.... back to those frelling dishes.......
