| I'm going to FL to see my mom. It may be the last time I see her. She's in the hospital and isn't doing well. Please pray that this trip is peaceful and honoring to the Lord.

| As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, my prayer is that your home is...
adorned with His love,
graced with His peace,
and filled with His presence.
Merry Christmas!

| I'm still having problems with my back. I went to my HMO dr. and had x-rays taken. About two weeks later, I received a letter saying there was nothing wrong. No fractures, no arthritis, no disc problem, no wear-and-tear. So why the pain and muscle spasms? I ended up having the x-rays sent to my chiropractor. One look and it was very obvious that something wasn't right. Four of the vertebrae just below my neck are twisted to the right. From the side view, the natural curve of my upper back stops where the vertebrae are twisted. I've been having adjustments weekly and therapeutic massage every two weeks. The pain has gone done from 8 (where I'm hiding in the bathroom crying) to 2-3, depending on my activity. So I'm feeling better, but I'm not completely healed.
As for the rest of life, it's ho-hum. Get up, dress, breakfast, drive CrazyBlondeSidekick (CBS) to college, feed Cooper_the_Cat, go home and school the kids, try to do some basic chores, lunch, more school and chores, pick up CBS and take her to work, dinner, hang out with my sweetie and the kids, pick up CBS from work, go to bed. Still reading? Told you it was boring. But if something fun or exciting happens, I will certainly blog again. And hopefully with some photos! Meanwhile, I read your posts and pray for you often.

| I have been having so much pain in my upper back for the last two months that I decided to go to the doctor for an x-ray. I went in Tuesday and I haven't heard anything yet. In the meantime, she prescribed Ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation and pain. I took it for two days but it gave me a migraine headache and made me so spacey that I could barely function. So I stopped taking the medicine Thursday hoping the side effects would wear off.
This morning, the headache was gone and I almost felt normal. I was able to dress and make my bed without pain, but after breakfast, it started up. It gradually increased throughout the morning and I ended up taking 1/2 a pill and lying down with an ice pack on my spine for about 20 min. It's helped but I feel like it's only a band-aid.
Please pray that my back would be healed so I can get back to a normal life.
