Merry Christmas from the Swindoll Elves

Ok, maybe I better take a break...

from blogging. I know, I know, the two of you who still check my blog once a month are saying "BUT WHY? You share SO much of your life with us that I don't know what I'll do when I can't check your blog and see there is NOTHING NEW posted!!! What will I do????" Ok, maybe that's not what your thinking, but I really thought I could do this; but WHAT WAS I THINKING????? With work (yes, I work 2 days a week, but it's still considered work!), girls homework, projects, being homeroom mom for one (WHICH I was roped into...thanks Shelley!!), basketball practice, etc, etc, etc, I didn't think about really having to have time AND enough brain cells left to actually post something. So, in respect to the blogging community and my absolutely talented blogging friends, I'm putting this on hold. I will keep this site, if I EVER decide to post pictures (which, obviously, there will have to be blue moon in the sky before THAT happens!!!), but I will let you now if that ever happens! My blogging sisters, you may take my name off your blog roll, because I'd hate to embarass you by having someone actually look at it. So for now, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's Day, Happy St. Patrick's Day, "WooHoo it's Spring Break!!", Happy Easter, "Yeaaa, it's Summer", and Happy 4th of July (oh, and Happy Birthday to you as well!!!) Maybe one day I'll be back!!!!

God is a God of Miracles...

Ok, I love my Savior, and I know He is a God of miracles, but, "Oh, my word!" Today, MIL is OUT of ICU, in her own private room, eating like a queen (well, at least like a patient eating a bland diet in a hospital), and heart rate is SUPERB! She is doing so well; we are waiting on a heart cath on Wednesday, and hopefully she'll decide to stay at the hospital while waiting on the tests! This morning she was swearing that "she was not in a hospital, but a CULT!" (Sorry, Ma, but it WAS funny!) She was ready to leave the ICU, if not the hospital. They comprimised by giving her a private room which she could close the door and have her privacy!!! She is doing SO much better, and I cannot express to you how MUCH we appreciate every single prayer that was lifted up on her behalf. THANK YOU. A few days ago we would have sworn she would not be with us much longer; thank you, Lord, for allowing her to stay a while longer...

Please pray...

for my mother-in-law. She is still in ICU, and we are not sure exactly what is and is not going on. She went in for a "simple" back procedure and has ended up with a massive heart attack and who knows what else. Thanks to my friends who have lifted us up in prayer and encouraged us; God bless you all, and we love you. Just keep praying; I don't know what else to write, but just lift her up along with the doctors. Thank you so much.
