Rain rain

How was everyone's Easter or Passover? We went to church, had a wonderful service and then headed out to the husband's parents house for dinner. Yummy ham, turkey and the fixins. YUM! Wish I had some of those leftovers to chow down on!

We are still praying and believing for this job opportunity back home. (My home) I just need my family during this time in my life. I need someone that can go with my to doctor's appointments, instead of my husband having to take off work to go with me. Or just to be there for support.

I'm really hurting this morning. I don't know if it is the weather or what. But my chest feels like someone is squeezing my lungs. I've used my inhalers, used my oxygen, but it's still hurting. I've even heated up the rice sock to use. Nothing is working. *Sigh*

It might be stress. Lots of things going on in the house. Problems with the teen, just back talking, lying about school work, etc...
Worried about money, worried about health...

But I know it will all get better. It will, nothing lasts forever.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and hope your week is awesome.

And She Returns

And she's back...... Just in time for Christmas and the New Year.

I've been dealing with some really intense health issues. I quit smoking back in Feb. and have not had one since then..... but I guess that just wasn't good enough.

I went to the hospital a few weeks ago with chest pains and feeling short of breathe. After a chest X-ray and a CT scan, and a visit to a pulmonologist, I found out I have COPD and emphysema. I'm going through a lot of adjustment right now. Dealing with finding out about this condition, we moved to a house with fewer steps. Stairs had been a struggle for me lately. I would get half way up and feel like I was drowning. And just with anything health related, it is really scary.

Compound that with being very homesick. I've slowly been missing my Mississippi roots. I really thought I could just go for visits and be fine. But it's not fine. I miss seeing my family and I want to see my old friends and catch up. I miss warm winters (warmer that what we have here) and just all the familiarity of my surroundings. I really pray that either the company my husband works for decided to open an office in MS or he finds a job there. Wishful thinking on my part I know.

Just if you can please keep us in your prayers.
