This has not been a great week for me. I did get my tissue type test done on Monday though, now I need to use those patience that God keeps reminding me of...

Becca was diagnosed Monday with asthma. She is having a very rough time and is real sick. She is so pale, and having difficulty breathing even with her new inhalers and zertec. I gave her a breathing treatment last night and that seemed to help a little, but she didn't like how it made her heart race.

Casey (our rescue dog that we got) is not handling Staci's new kittens very well. He isn't eating, so I make up his food with oatmeal and buttermilk, and then sit on the floor and hand feed him. This seems to be working; however, Alyson doesn't seem to have the patience to do this. Gee, I wonder where she got that from....hmmmmm.

I leave for Houston tomorrow. I will be gone til Sunday, and am having a very tough time with this.... This is for Leadership training again with Stampin' Up! This is a once a year thing for upper management, and with the anniversary of Jim's heartattack on Friday, and me being gone again, I am just not ready. There are too many things going on...Becca not feeling well, Casey not eating, Adam is going away on a Church winter weekend camp. I am staying with Denise again, along with other friends, Suzie and Brenda from California. And I used my frequent flyer miles for a free airline ticket, so it's not the money. I just don't feel like I should be going. Jim is helping. He keeps reminding me that I need to take better care of myself, and that I need to go, and that everything will be ok. For heavens sake, I've been going on these trips twice a year for the last 12 years!
