Long overdue!

I know! This is long overdue.

And there are new developments in our lives, as usual!

1st of all on Monday a.m. the phone rang and it was Employment Plus, the temporary agency that Junior was working for. They said ASI had changed the hours that he would be working, to 6 nights/week. Junior said, "that puts me working on Sunday and I don't work on Sunday." So they said that they would call ASI and tell them. So in a few minutes they called back and said they were sorry but ASI needed someone who would be available to work on Sunday. So that was the end of Junior's job. We did not see this coming! Even though he didn't like the job nor did we like his working all night, we were thankful he had a job. Well, no more. We are back to job hunting. We still have some unemployment left, but when he called in today, they said he had to call the office in a.m. I just hope they are not making us wait another week; we have already had 2 weeks of waiting period already! But we will find out for sure in a.m.

Many of you know Preston had gallstones in SC but since they weren't bothering him, they said they would leave them alone. But now every day he is having pain. So Tues. he is having an ultrasound. Please pray they can see the problem or the stones when they do the ultrasound so he won't have to have any more tests. I hate to think of his having surgery, but if he has to, he has to, and we will just pray he has no complications this time. I don't think any of us can spend another 9 weeks in the hospital.

We didn't get to go to Canada because by the time we figured it out, we realized it was too far for one day's journey and we didn't have enough days to go. Missie is trying to finish her school year out and we just couldn't be gone that long right now. But the problem is, after June 1st, we can't cross the border without passports. None of us have passports. Mine has run out years ago, and we all have to get them. I am not sure when we will have the money to do this. Mine is the most complicated one to get. Anyhow, that is why I wanted to go in May. But it doesn't seem to be working out. I want to see my mom so bad. But we talk every day on the phone which I love and Preston hates, LOL. If I can't see her at least I can talk to her. I hate talking on the phone overall, but I am so glad we have this means of communication.

Today was a wonderful Mother's Day. We had over 60 mothers at church this a.m. We had a wonderful Mother's Day service. We could chose a flower or a candle, and guess which I chose? Yep, the candle! Junior took me to Cracker Barrel Friday for my favorite meal of chicken and dumplings. The children each bought me a rubber stamp that I wanted to use on my cards. So it has been a happy day for me.

Will try and let everyone know when I get the results of Preston's ultrasound.
