Update!

Well, here is the update on our family:

We are still driving a borrowed car; as the money my mom sent still hasn't showed up in our bank acct; sure has been a slow process. She has sent it the 2nd time in US funds but it hasn't arrived either, and part of it has to be used to pay our heat bill, as we are almost out of gas to heat with. We need our own vehicle so bad. Our taxes are supposed to be in on Jan 29th, and it can't get here soon enough.

Preston seems to be suffering from depression; so the dr. upped his depression medication. So we will see how that works. His aide comes in a.m., weather permitting, and we are going to give him a shower, and she will clean his room. So that will help me.

Missie is getting over her cough. She is having to take meds. less than she was for it, but it still flairs up once in a while. She is doing quite well with her schooling. She liked the looks of her report card when I finished it to send to our homeschool group.

Junior felt cold and achy tonight; and he felt like he was running a fever. Hope he is not getting sick again. There have been some lay offs at his place of employment; we are hoping it doesn't affect him. The company has been sold since he started there. He has not had a raise in 3 years, and he heard it has not been going as well as they thought it would, business wise. So God knows all about it. His other job before this closed their doors. We hope that doesn't happen again. That would be the peak of discouragment in our already discouraging life with all of the problems and trials we have had in the last few years.

I am doing good; homeschooling, caring for Preston, keeping my house up for the most part, selling on ebay. I have been achy the last couple of days; indicating that we will get some precipitation.

So we are all alive and doing pretty well.
