Goin' to the Movies...

We're so excited! We are going to the Drive-In tonight to see "Evan Almighty", and "Transformers". Mike and London both want to see Transformers and I want to see Evan Almighty. It will be so much fun. We haven't been to a drive-in since we saw Dukes of Hazzard, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when we went to the beach property.

We're trying to keep everything as normal as possible for London while we await the results of Michael's bone marrow biopsy. These will be the longest days of our life - waiting to find out if my husband has bone marrow cancer. Of course I'm filled with wonder at what would happen to London and I if he has it. Where would we go? How would we live? It's scary to be faced with something like this. Noone will ever know either...unless they have experienced it firsthand. My best friend, her sister-in-law, and her mom have all volunteered to be tested to see if they are a match to be a bone marrow donor. That was really sweet of my best friend to volunteer. I think they ask family members first though.....but we'll see. My faith in God is dwindling...it has been for a long time now. I'm filled with questions and doubts about my beliefs and my own Chrisitianity. Just how, exactly, am I supposed to get answers to my questions and my beliefs? Heck if I know!

Which brings me to another topic.....I lost my job last week. In some ways it was a blessing in disguise. I think you get into a sort of comfort zone where you just go to work and do your job (whether you're happy at your job or not) but are so comfortable that you don't want to escape your comfort zone. My boss forced me out of my comfort zone....but I think I'm better off. I don't want to work for anyone who makes me feel like I need to beg for a raise, or explain my life circumstances. The things that are happening in my life with Mike's health are REAL. They are serious and not to be taken lightly. My family will always come before any job I ever have. If they cannot understand that....too bad. I intend to find a better job, but I will not let myself get caught up in being friends with anyone I work with. My motto will have to be (from now on) that I am at my job to do my job and that's it. I'm not there to get chummy and listen to the drama. It's sad it has to come to that.

That's my life....in a nutshell. 'Til next time.....
