WHAT I ASKED FOR, WHAT I NEEDED

WHAT I ASKED FOR, WHAT I NEEDED

When I got my new dog

I asked for strength that I might rear her perfectly;
I was given weakness that I might feed her more treats.

I asked for good health that I might rest easy;
I was given a "special needs" dog that I might know nurturing.

I asked for an obedient dog that I might feel proud;
I was given stubbornness that I might feel humble.

I asked for compliance that I might feel masterful;
I was given a clown that I might laugh

I asked for a companion that I might not feel lonely;
I was given a best friend that I would feel loved.

I got nothing I asked for,
But everything that I needed.
I got a dog

New fur baby

Well, last night we rescued a new fur baby. She's a 10 mo old long haired mini dachshund. Her name is Bitzy, and she is a sweet heart. She was living in bad conditions and her owner gave them up because she loved them. There were 2 of them, sisters, born the same day. The mom dog died giving birth to them.I took one and my daughter took the other one. Really sad story. But anyways, welcome Bitzy to our home. She is getting along fine with her new sister and 2 brothers.
Introducing.. Bitzy!!




Have a great weekend!!

Love,

March 25, 2008.. Stitches and depression....

Today, after 2 weeks, David finally got the stitches out. It's still sore but healing. Our doc has set both David and I up for sleep studies. We both have sleep apnea, and sleep is not something that comes restfully and easily for us. I have a terrible tummy ache today. I am on pretty heavy duty pain drugs which is not making my tummy happy, but the diabetic neuropathy is kicking my butt too. If I sound depressed, it's because I pretty much am. I am on disability, which is very little money, and now David is out of work, with the COPD, so things in the money situation are not happy. I hate that money rules so much of our lives. It's scary for sure.

Well, not much to say today. God Bless everyone. Keep our service men and women in your prayers, and also all the sick.

new haircut!!!

I got a new haircut this week, and went short!!!

Saturday, March 22, 2008

Well hey there! I haven't blogged in a week or so. David is getting better but the doc would not take the stitches out this week, as his eye was still way to swollen and he was afraid the incision would not hold, so he goes back on Tuesday and has them removed.

I am trying to get the hang of this blog thing, as far as adding things. Some of the blogs I read are fabulous and I wish I had their talent.

Spring has come and it still feels like winter in Ohio. In fact today we had some snow flurries. I am so ready for spring, I can't stand it. I want to spend time out doors with the sun in my face and breathe warm air! I can't wait!! Of course come July, we will all be wishing alittle for cool weather.. LOL.. Us humans can not be happy..

I wish anyone who reads this a very Happy Easter tomorrow. It will be a quiet one here, just David and I. Wishing I had my grandchildren with me :o( . They all live out of town. I love them so much and miss them, and wish I saw them more. I hate being Poor!!
Here is a pic of some of the grands and my 2 daughters.



Anyway, Happy Easter!!!

Hugs~

March 14, 2008 David's injury update.

This was taken this evening. The bruise is going over to the other eye too now. It's healing, I think, he's just looking really rough and tough right now. Bless his heart. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

David 3-12

This is David on Wednesday. He looks pretty miserable and he is. Poor thing. I love him so much and hate to see him hurt. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

David's injury pics

The futon David broke when he hit..

David's injury

As you all know, David has COPD. Last night he passed out in his computer chair and fell forward, and hit the futon arm. I heard him fall and ran into the computer room. He was then awake and bleeding profusely. I got him cleaned up, and called a friend to see if he could tke us to the ER, since I can not drive. Him and his wife got us to the ER. They ran cat scans etc and they didn't show any facial breaks, which was good. They gave him 16 stitches. The ER doc thinks that maybe he is getting to much oxygen, which causes something and makes you pass out. This is his 4th time to do this since around October. The doc removed some wood from his face also. He broke the futon when he fell. He is ok today, just very sore. Oh he also scratched his cornea in his eye. Please keep David and I in your prayers. Things are a little tough right now.
Love to you all,
Debbie

Surprised

Wow, I was surprised that I got 2 comments on my blog. How cool is that? Things are about the same around here. The weather in Ohio will not let up!! I am so ready for spring. We got a taste of it yesterday and then cold, rainy and icy today. We were able to get out and vote in the Ohio primary today. We also had to go to David's pulmonologist office to pick up a machine. They are doing another over night oxygen study on him, to see how his night sat's are.
This week is quite eventful. 3 of our 12 grandchildren have birthdays. Our oldest grandchild, Taylor turned 13 on the 1st of March, then another one Skylin turns 2 on thursday and our miracle grandson, Cooper,who is here by God's grace turns 1 on Friday. I love my grandchildren. They give you a purpose to life for sure.
My 3 "hairy" kids are ok also. Baby is over her spaying surgery now, and is back to herself. She's so tiny and so darn cute. They so enjoyed the warmth yesterday, playing outside. They are getting winter cabin fever as we are.
Well, God Bless everyone. Keep the comments coming! I need to try and figure out how to add photos in my blogs. I haven't figured that out yet, so you can see my beautiful grandchildren and children too!

Until later~
