Beth, way behind on emails but I hope you had a better week after all your truck problems.

I think of you often and many on the list too. We are all a family of sorts and we need to lift each other up no matter how big or small our troubles are.

Thanks, I did have a better week. I hope that you have recovered from your wrestling match with the chipper and your legs/knees are okay. The problem with the truck was easy to fix once diagnosed-the switch which stops the flow of fuel had been accidentally tripped. I still am not satisfied with the explanation of finding oil under the hood and finding it leaking last week. It is still leaking a week after the oil was changed, so I am going to a second shop to have it checked. I was blessed at work this week. I was monitored on one of my calls and scored 77 points out of 77!! I am meeting the goals my supervisor set for me as far as quality, schedule adherence and something else. I thank God for that!!!! Breanna is feeling better. She still has a really bad sounding cough, but it is a productive cough in that it is

helping to clear out her lungs. She goes back to the doctor's on Monday. The concern is that the bronchitis will go into pnemonia. She has been on antibiotics the past couple of days. received her license in the mail-to confirm what the website stated, that she is officially an RN!!! She has wanted to be a nurse since she was 4 years old. She will be 28 in April. Her life has taken a lot of detours, but she has reached one of the goals she set for herself. Jen wants to go on and earn her BSN, starting in the fall, but I don't know if that will happen. will be laid off from work this week. He wants to go to school this fall also to start work on his bachelor's degree-they both want to work fulltime also. I keep thinking, where are the kids in all of these plans?? I know that the past month has meant to much to me to go back to being a fulltime caregiver for my grandkids as I have been the past 18 months. I have to trust God to work it out.

Jen is very driven. Please pray that she will be more nuturing toward her kids. I have had some very precious times this week while meditating/praying. I was talking to a friend of mine today and told her that what keeps me going in TOPS when I want to quit is the relationships. I didn't find this type of camaraderie at WW or OA. We are a family of sorts - but its special because we choose to be!
