Not the adrenal gland??

When your at the end of your rope...tie a knot and hang on !! I am only able to hang on because God put glue on that rope for me......

The doctors have been working on some blood work lately and they believe we could have an answer.  I have been complaining...(very little...well ..I mentioned it one time) about feeling light headed in the mornings...no energy (no..I'm really not lazy) low blood sugar....low blood pressure....can't tolerate cold weather.. very shaky (like from the inside out).  Come to find out...my cortisol levels are low...so they label me as having adrenal insufficiency or adrenal burnout.  So you ask??  What do you do for that???  If your like me, you google it 12 million times before the doctor comes in to  talk to you about it...haha...I am now going to take a small dose of
HYDROCORTISONE each day!!!!  are you kidding me.....STEROIDS>>>>>>>>>OH...Golly .. I DISLIKE that.!!!!  So I am thinking....so was it worthing finding out what was wrong...or should I have just lived with it??  I really am hoping this is something that in time I can taper off of.  I am hopeful that I will start really feeling better.

 You always hear everyone say, "When it rains..it pours."  The Bunkers really need so many prayers to lift their family at this time.  He is in the hospital and they have found a mass on the frontal lobe of his brain.  I believe he will be having surgery on Monday.


Do you lift your eyes to the maker only in times of pain?  Do will lift your eyes daily? Do we only cry out when we have fear?   We never know what is ahead of us daily...We should call out daily to GOD.  He is waiting to hear from us daily.  I know I have alot of mountains ahead of me to climb.  What a blessing it is to know God wants to hear from ME!!!

Hour by hour

Today, I feel like I have watched the clock on the wall ...tick..tick..tick..My days seem to slowly fade by when I  am in the hospital.  I just received a text from Skywalker.  He also sent a picture that he had just taken of himself.  The simple words that followed....I love u....   My heart aches for him while I am away.  His little smile makes me melt.  There are days that I wonder....what will happen when God calls me home?  What about Skywalker and G.I. Joe?  Who will leave the lights on in each room so G.I. Joe will have something to fuss about...{ha.ha.ha}  Who will scratch Skywalker's back at night?  Who will sing the wake up song to him before school?  I know God has a plan for this.  He already has it all....worked out.  I pray everyday that I find a way to make each day special...Even my bad days are good.   I have another moment...another breath...
The life I have now is only the beginning.


Psalm 2:8
 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

I am back in the hospital.  My sweet husband is with me through the weekend.  I am so sick of this place!!  I am so sick of meds...breathing treatments...IV's...doctors...nurses, but it's like G.I. Joe always says..."The alternative would not be good.."  PFT's 52/36 admit

I really love this song..but of course I had to change it a bit....

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the OCEAN at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby

The shallow breaths of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the ocean at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The shallow breaths of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've always known the loving of a man
And it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

There's a soilder here in town, says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The shallow breaths of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

So put on your best, girls, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
Funny, when you're dead how people start listening

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the ocean at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

Written on Christmas 2010

What to celebrate....Of course the birth of MY LORD and SAVIOR...

With that being said...as a mom, I can't help but celebrate the happiness I get out of watching Skywalker taking it all in!!  I could go a lifetime without a gift to unwrap.  What I have can't be wrapped...my days and nights are magical because of G.I. Joe and Skywalker.

We had a blast at my parents home opening up gifts, but we saved the best for last.  Skywalker's last gift of the night was a beagle puppy.  Oh...Oh...he was so cute...and excited...{SMILE...GRINS...KISSES}.  As soon as he picked up the puppy he called him BUDDY.  

Christmas morning was so much fun.  These are the moments I will remember a lifetime.  We gave lots of hugs that morning and kisses.  We played for hours with new games and toys.  That is what makes my life completely worth it.

I have been feeling pretty good lately.  I am staying close to the house.  I know I have got to get past the New Year before I go back to the hospital.  I called and got a refill on some meds to get me by.  Seems like G.I. Joe is doing alot of grilling lately.  I just can't seem to get enough energy to get going.  But nobody is complaining about the grilling...It is AWESOME!!!


Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

Christmas is UP! La

Aw....Christmas Lights....We now officially look like Christmas around here!!  Amazing what a few hours of decorating will do.  Skywalker and his cousin did a wonderful job decorating the tree.  Now, he thinks I should already have presents ready to go under the tree.  What a joy it is to see his little face light up.  I believe it is brighter than all the lights on the Christmas tree.  Thank you, God...for allowing me to see his sweet smile. (Last week of November)

Dove Hunt

We have a been keeping late hours....I think I may be too old for this...haha..We were in the dove field  before the sun on Saturday.  We really didn't have a lot of birds, but we ended up shooting skeets...Now..that was fun and Skywalker was good at it....{Note to self....skeet thrower for G.I. Joe on his birthday.}  We ended up the day with FOOTBALL...GO STATE!!! and some really good friends
and food. 
Skywalker and his dad have been going fishing in the afternoons after school.  G.I. Joe was away last night for work....YUCK...He is headed home now!! WOW>>>SCREAM>>>YES!!! I miss him so much when he is gone.  I can't wait for him to walk through the door with my kiss and hug.  I think we have plans to go to the pool this afternoon.  We have guard drill this weekend....FOOTBALL FRIDAY!!!!
I had to add another week of IV's to my schedule.  I really thought I was still too short of breath to finish them this week.  I do feel much better today and hope to even feel better tomorrow!

Back at It...

I am home and happy....need I say more????  That was a nice short stay in club med this trip.  I still have a week of IV's to finish up at home.  (so WHAT!!....) 

Skywalker busted the doors open today after school.  I don't know who gave the most kisses...!!!  {JOY...SMILE...KISS}  I jumped right back into being a mom and wife!!  I started off with homework and finished up with cooking supper...Roast and Gravy ....{YuMmY!!}  I ended up writing a huge grocery list..

We finished up with Skywalker's room, tonight...It screams...ARMY!!  One of his friends came over today and saw his room...the friend's response...."That's Tight!"

It seems so small, but it means so much just to be able to be home to write the grocery list.  Each day means so much when you don't feel sick.  I enjoy taking time just to write love notes to Skywalker and G.I. Joe on the message board in the laundry room...just small things...that most people don't take time for...make such a big difference to me..BLESSINGS....make sure you take time...time to see them...Even if it is just the smile on his face when you hand him his drink...always SMILE back!

*We are to glory in the Lord, to revel in His blessings, in His presence, and in His person.

Count Your Blessings For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations (Psalm 100:5).
