LKim's Journal

I sure have been missing all of you... we have had SO much going on around here.. I don't even know where to begin.

First of all, I have not been doing really good at all.. combination of everything wrong with me, am excessive amount of swelling in my left leg, been on Lasix, it has been terrible, so bad the other night that it actually busted under my little pinky toe, it really scared me to death.

As you all know, Frankie has been off work since April 30, so the little short term disability check has not been nearly enough to pay our bills, I called and tried to get a little help with some food stamps, but , of course, we made too much money... that just kills me.... but anyway, we decided to go to the bank and talk to our loan officer.. several years ago, when I had to quit work, due to all my health problems, we re-financed our house and went through Citimortage..worse mistake we ever made, but we didn't know what else to do. so when all this happened, we called them asking for help, loan modification or something.. well, after doing business with them for about 7 years, they couldn't help us, well one person we talked to said it shouldn't be a problem, another one said , no help was available. We got tired of going in circles.. so we have been hard at it since Thursday.. our bank here was glad to see what they could do.. the process was , a copy of our deed, and we had to leave a check with the bank to pay for the appraisal, so needless to say, we have been VERY BUSY getting things cleaned up around here, things that have been let go for a while, mostly due to my not being able to do much , and Frankie's stuff has been let go since the heart atttack, our house wasn't in bad shape, but when you are having it appraised, you have to look at the over all of it. And you all know me, I watch WAY TOO MUCH HGTV.. DESIGNED TO SELL.. LOL...  we are not selling, but we sure want a good appraisal price, that means we can get enough to consolidate and pay everything we have off and only owe 1 payment. SO please say a prayer that everything works out for us.. I don't think there will be a problem, but it is still that little doubt the devil puts in your head!!! We finished up the last few things this morning, we have only been getting about 4 to 5 hours of sleep a night, for me most nights it wasn't that much, couldn't get my brain to slow down....and Lord, the lists I made. But I am sitting here in a SUPER CLEAN HOUSE.... waiting for the appraiser to come.

Next, tomorrow Frankie goes for his stress test in the morning at 7:30. So please say a prayer for him, we have heard that they are pretty rough. He's a little worried about it and how he will hold up.

Britney is laying on the beach in Florida this week, Wish I was with her.

God has really been moving in her life the last month.. she is so excited, which makes me so proud. She has really become " A PRAYER WARRIOR" I am so proud of her.

We had Homecoming at church Sunday... with lunch and Heath and his group singing afterwards... it was a good day, just wish my Daddy could have been there!!!

I guess I will go for now, I need to check some more things. Glad to be back on and really glad to have a CLEAN HOUSE!!!! :)

Hope all of you have a great day!  God Bless You!  Lori
