The last few weeks...

Well the last few weeks have been a rocky road. There have been quite a few things that have effected our entire family. My mom was tested for Lung Cancer because of on-going pneumonia and her medicine that is known to cause Lung issues including Cancer. The problem is that the medication is one of the few that helps her severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. But I find it amazing that in a day were we can clone sheep and do other amazing medical things that a Dr cannot tell you definitively whether you have Cancer or not. She has to go back in 3 months to see if any of the small nodules grow. So right now we wait and worry. If only she would quite smoking. But like someone pointed out the damage has been done so quitting now if almost meaningless.

But because of all of these health issues mom has decided to to shut down the DayCare (she watches my 3 kids plus my brothers kid)as soon as possible which unfortunately is not until March 09. Recently my wife took a Manager job at her work which has her working Days 7am to 4pm. Before she used to work from 4pm to 10pm which worked great because we did not need a sitter. Since she moved to days we are defendant on my mom so changing is going to be hard. Naomi cannot even put in for a new position until March 2009 (6 months at current job) so as soon a possible she will try to move to either evening or midnights which is going to really suck!

But we try to get through and will make it. We have to. All I care about is putting food on the table and keeping a house for the kids. I mean we life pretty good compared to many people. We are blessed to have healthy kids and a loving family. Financials are trivial and are the least of our worries in life. If more people would focus on family and things then it would make things alittle better. I mean if the banks are failing how can they expect me to keep paying when they cannot even honor there own debt.
