Well, this year I’ve had vocal nodules from Jan to August, sprained adductor muscle on my leg for 1 month,( couldn’t walk very easily) cholesterol up. bone density down ( that’s bad) , and now I can add a very sprained R foot. I was walking our surrogate dog and twisted it . Dr Cody saw me today and I am on crutches and can’t drive or a little while. Last night Dad had to get up at 02:00 am to take me to work. I don’t DO much at work- just the computer and be there to “call the code” if necessary. I will be good till our trip hopefully. Oh brother love nancy/mom

I just applied for a new job at Mercy Hospital. If I get the job I will be working every Sat. and Sun. evening shift (3pm-1130pm). This allows me to keep my medical insurance and we won’t need daycare at all. I will also be able to sleep at night and be able to go to church every Sun. morning. Please pray that I get the job. Priority is given to current nurses but if another current nurse that has seniority over me applies, they will get the job. This is a big deal to me. I can’t handle night shift with 2 little kids at home…its exhausting and I don’t feel like I am being the greatest mom or wife while on nights. Please pray!

Well for Mark’s Birthday I took 5 of his friends bowling after church and pizza. It was hysterical. Chris started off by throwing the bowling ball into the OTHER lane next to him. !!! The boys were all concerned about doing poorly ( like scores of 20 !!) and kept the comedy coming. No one really competed against each other because they were all so bad !! Mark was the best and got 122 both times. The amazing last frame of the last game Mrak was behind the pack and then bowled 3 STRIKES IN A ROW to come back and actually win !! He was elated !!! He was jujmping aropund like a rabbit . hooting and hollering like he”d just won hte lottery or something. The entire bowling alley staff and customers were looking at him carry on. I couldn’t stop laughing. It was great. We are home now and watching the Eagles and eating ice cream. Mark ad a great time needless to say.
Lastly, I want to say the Mark is one of the NICEST kids I ever known. You boys were all great and Mark is certainly a chip of you’alls blocks !!! He is knid, considerrate, loving to Grace and a phenomenal athlete. His best friend , Daniel couldn’t come bowling because of a “mis-scheduling” and Mark was very disappiointed. Then this morning in church there was a kid there that is being fostered by one of our church family’s .He has never been at MSBC on a weekend ( 2 x on Wednesday night.) He is 14yr. Well ,Mark invited him to come home and join in. (If Daniel would have come there wouldn’t have been room for one more in my van) After bowling Mark mentioned that maybe it was meant to happen like this so the new kid could come instead of Daniel. Isn’t Mark SWEET ????!!!! Love my kids. They don’t get any better than this !! Love mom
