Living life and loving every minute

Time has been flying by and so much is going on... I have gotten way behind in my blog and I don't even know where to start.
My computer melted down.. so there is an excuse for the delay...so I bought super cool laptop. (yippee!) I had actually written a few posts and lost them all. And its hard for me to re-create a post. Plus it really ticks me off to lose them like that.

I have started back to work from home, part time, and that has been great... but I needed more income so I started another part time job close to home and let me tell you... two, 20 hour a week jobs means that you work about 60 hours. I know the math doesn't add up but that is what you do.
 
So, I have the two jobs but my original boss now wants me to come back full time. They had hired a couple of people but one left and there's lots to do and they need me full time... only now the people at my new part time job have gotten attached to me and they don't want to let me go and they are fighting to keep me. Its crazy. Flattering but crazy! Okay, I made a birthday cake and that clinched the deal. I do make a pretty good chocolate cake. So here is one of my co workers and my newest boss. They are really sweet.




Allow, allow, allow. Breathe and let it work out. It always does. : ) You can freak out if you want to but in the end, it will all work out just as it is supposed to.




Another blessing in my life, my son Ryan and his beautiful wife, Sonya, had twin baby girls on Sunday. (Do I have to call him my step-son when I love him like my own??) They are so beautiful and perfect and tiny and different and perfect in every way. (Yes, they are perfect... twice.)
Isn't the birth of a child about as close as we get to witnessing a real miracle on earth? I think so.



Meet Scarlett....
















 and Amelia.....






 Their daddy, Ryan....










And my wife in law, Jo.
 

Life goes on and on. It is so amazingly beautiful. I got to see the girls tonight for the first time with my husband's ex wife and our son. That may sound odd to you but its not to us. She calls me her wife-in-law. I love my husbands ex wife. She is an awesome woman and has always been a great friend to me. Her son is my son and since he is a twin too, I appreciate the fact that she brought them into the world. Boy do I appreciate that!






 I am feeling pretty well. Chemo last Thursday. Had a little rough weekend and back to work on Monday. Twin baby girls to see Tuesday. How can I be anything but happy??

We will do a PET scan in a couple of weeks and see what my innards look like. The chemo I am on now is tolerable. The doc wanted to amp it up and use a stronger chemo because I can tolerate it but I whined. I have hair. I feel pretty good most of the time. I like feeling a little more normal. He relented. So in a few weeks we will see what the  scan says and go from there. Cross your fingers and toes.

Count your blessings my angels. They are there. Be careful with your words. Choose them wisely. My Hubbie said that he prayed for patience and now God puts every slow, 80 year old driver in Florida right in front of him.  LOL!
He is right. That is how it works. You don't learn patience any other way. Or anything else for that matter. I appreciate my lessons. I am leaning. I don't want to have to go to summer school.

I don't look happy but I am!! A little pooped... and I didn't know my hubbie was taking a picture.... so sorry... but look, I have hair! Yipppeee!!!


LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE!!!!!
