Today my ankle has been hurting so bad that I can hardly walk. It seems to be getting worse all the time. I didn't hurt it but its the sciatic nerve that goes down my leg. Doctor gave me medicine but thats not helping me at all. I'm not able to shop anymore either. I'll call one of the doctors tomorrow to see what I can have done. About 2 months ago the neurosurgeon told me I would probably need surgery. I just talked to a nurse in my neighborhood and she told me he's planning on retiring now. I'm really not ready for a surgery. I hate all the aches and pains afterwards. I just wish they could give me a shot to relieve pain but he said he can't do that. To me that would be a simple procedure. Oh well.
Since we live in Florida i was happy to see Florida Gators win over the Okaloona Sooners. The score was 24-14. My teams are Penn State, where i'm originally from. Same with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles. I think I said earlier in my blog that Dh is for the Dallas Cowboys.
My Dh is over his cold now, Thank God. He had it for a long time. We just hope it doens't come back but winter isn't over yet for awhile. Here in NW Florida the temperature has been mild this year. Usually by now it's freezing outside, especially at night.
Cya all later. Jeanne |

• Thursday, January 8, 2009 - Hope
Hope is Marty's daughter. She was born 11-01-1999. She takes after him in the being able to warn me before I go into anaphylaxis shock. Hope was trained, but did not become a registered service dog for a few years. She worked at home but Marty went out every where. as Marty got older Hope started sharing his out side of the home work. Marty still went out he loved to go to crowded places, while Hope does not do as well in crowds. She is over protective.
Hope is the only dog working for me at this time. Hope has only one litter of puppies before I fixed her. It was to hard on me to watch her give birth. Alex will be taking over some of her work when he is done training. Medical alert dogs never stop working until they are called home to God.
Here are some pictures of hope:
   I will share more pictures of her when I load more.

Tomorrow me and my mom are going to go set up my GED classes; the tests we home schoolers take to graduate. I'm looking forward to it because it's something I've wanted to get the ball rolling on for awhile.
It's funny how when you're a kid you dream of getting older, moving out of the house to where your life "really begins." Now that I'm 17 and see that coming up sooner then not it has lost its dream like quality. It's rather scary now. I like it at home and have never been dying to leave, but it does have to happen someday...
Of course it's still exciting and all, but I'm not in a hurry to move out. Sometimes it just takes years and a few steps closer to realize life doesn't start once you move out.
To older people this is probably old news, but to a teenager (aka: young adult) it takes a while to see that.

• 2009-Jan-8 - For those who are concerned about the new law coming in Feb 2009....
As soon as I heard about this here on-line Monday, I started to look into it. By yesterday, I know the best thing to do was contact a tv station in Memphis, Tenn. who is known for getting to the bottom of things.
The reporter called me this morning to ask me a few questions. He let me know that he was already starting to look in to this and would be reporting what he could find out this evening.
Reported By Andy Wise
ASK ANDY: New Lead/Phthalate Testing On Kid Products
Updated: Jan 8, 2009 05:44 PM CST
BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission just exempted yard sales, consignment stores and resales from this new law. Click here to read the commission's official release.

If you follow to this link:

You will see what else he had to add after the commission came out with this update after his report.
The reporter then called me back this evening, to make sure I had heard and read the report. I will post about anything new that comes with this. The reporter has my phone # and will stay in touch with me.

• Thursday, January 8, 2009 - New Blog Coming Soon

I thought I would make a post about my upcoming blog. It's about my journey with God and His increases to my family. Everyone who is struggling or praying for God to increase their quiver are so much more then welcome. It will have poems, and scriptures relating to this and prayers and of course I'll be praying and praying for some friends that need prayers. I want so much just to have a place to put my thoughts.
For everyone who visits my blog, you know how much I love the Lord and pray that He uses me and mine for His glory and His Kingdom. Sometimes there may not be things you agree with, but remember it's my blog and this is how the Lord is dealing with me.
God's word is His will.
ps. I'm not deleting this blog, just making another one. :O)
