Well, the flu has hit Frankfort. Some have the H1N1 flu, and some the stomach flu. At least I think there are 2 kinds of flu. Missie got sick yesterday evening and threw up all night. She was feverish during the night. Today she is very weak, and has had a headache but no fever. So we don't think it is the H1N1, but a stomach virus. But some schools have already closed to try and slow the epidemic down. It is a possibility that our school will be closed too. There are students in our school that does have H1N1. We are praying Preston won't get the stomach virus or the H1N1, both of which would probably land him in the hospital. We hope no one else in our family will get either one.
Missie and James have broken up. He is unable to attend UBC in Jan. They are 2,000 miles away and long distance relationships are hard. He is a wonderful young man. But Missie stays so tired from school and volleyball, she doesn't have much energy left to work at a good relationship. So they have parted ways. It is sad, but Missie told him if the Lord wants them together, He will bring them back together. James agreed. Pray for James. He graduates from high school in Dec., and is praying for leadership as to what to do next. He will be 18 on Monday. I pray that the Lord will work it out at least by next fall for him to attend a Bible College. We want God's will in His life and hope someday our paths will cross again. He is the kind of young man we want for our daughter. But we want the one God wants her to have.
Jr. is doing well with his new job. We are so thankful to God for this job! He is drawing a decent paycheck finally, and we praise the Lord.
So that is about all of the news for this time!

Busy week!
This has been a busy week!
Missie of course has had school. She got her new volleyball shirt today and was thrilled about that. She is so excited to be on the volleyball team. Her mouth is fine from the root canal. She talks each evening to James, and they usually see each other on the web cam. He is such an encouragement to us. Last night he and I were chatting on IM after Missie went to bed. We got to talking about prayer, and it really encouraged me. James was telling me that each day he writes down everything the Lord does for him, even the small things. Missie was still awake and I shared with her what he was saying. It encouraged her and she got up to look for her gratitude journal that she had started this summer. Today she posted it in again; her first fall posting. James is not going to be able to attend Bible School right now, close to us. It was a disappointment, but it is expensive and he needs to work and save some money. We understand that fully!
I have been working this week. Our pastor and his wife take care of her mother. Well, the pastor had gallbladder surgery on Wed. and was supposed to go home that evening. But he is still in the hospital. So I have been staying some with Grandma Fry. This week I have stayed with her about 15 hrs. She is a very sweet lady. But she cannot walk and sometimes it is hard to get her transferred from the wheelchair to the potty, etc. I had to call someone today to come and help me with her. Anyhow, Preston told me today that he just might get a new mother since I was working so much, lol. I have to take Missie to dr. in a.m. and then hopefully tomorrow afternoon clean my house!
Junior is working 6 evenings this week. So I know he will be tired out. Thankfully he can sleep on Sunday afternoon. But the overtime will really help! He seems to enjoy his new job. He has uniforms too, which the company pays for. We are so thankful for this job! God is good!
Preston has been doing well. We switched his medication so that I am giving him the new medication at night, except for 1/2 pill in evening. That way he is not so tired during the day. I am looking into getting home health to come in and shower him etc. He has suggested it himself several times, since my back hurts, etc. So I am gonna ask the nurse about it when I take Missie to the dr. tomorrow.
So that is the latest on the Watson family!
I want to add part of my gratitude journal here! I would love to hear yours too!
