God is great!! Thomas is not losing blood any longer!!

Thomas just got his results back from his latest blood test. As you may remember, the original reason I insisted he go to the doctor, was because he was sleeping all the time. Well, he was severely anemic....finding out later he had ulcers in his colon, that were seeping blood.

His blood is NORMAL! He can stop taking 1200 mg of iron a day!! YEA!! That cuts out three pills a day! God is great! And faithful to those who love him. PRAISE GOD my baby is feeling so much better, and back to his goofy, funny self. (Don't know where he gets that from!)

Thanks to all of your prayers.....

And I DESERVE it!!

I can't believe I actually did it....after spending close to $4000 for a new a/c for my house, I decided to buy myself something. Yes, I was selfish and I admit it!

I met some Clack friends at Amanda's the other day, and a fellow teacher had some rings. No, they were not hot, but he does have a friend who buys out bankrupt pawn shops. Marty bought some rings to resell. Well, since I have helped him daily with computer stuff at school, he let me buy a ring from him for $175. Yes, at first I felt guilty. I mean, I had to get a loan for the a/c, so what possessed me to think I could spare a couple of hundred for myself. This is the woman who wears the same underwear for years, just to save money.

Last year, my favorite aunt, Helen, gave me a ring she had made back in the 50's for herself. She decided that would be a perfect 50th birthday present for me. Well, I had yet to get it appraised and put on my insurance. I did this week.

Guess what my $175 ring is worth????? Sit down, PLEASE!! $1600.00 YEPPER, you heard me!! Now I know I deserve it!! Woo HOO!! I feel good!!!
