Kimber had a really bad day a couple of days ago evertime my daughter moved her she would scream. I guess her tummy was bothering her really bad so the doctor wants to run a bunch of test to find out what might be going on. I think she just had a really bad stomach flu but she seems to get tummy aches once a week so they think it might be her acid reflux or celiac decease but they just want to see what is going on. I can't stand to see her cry so I have been a nervous reck just thinking about her going through all these test even though I know it is good for her to find out what is going on but man oh man this Nana won't go in with her when they start to prod and poke on her. Just keep her in your prayers that everything goes good and it is just something simple that we can take care of and pray for Nana cause I have been a wreck just thinking about it and knowing how much pain she was in the other day just made me sick and I can't seem to get over it like I usually can, like I said I hate to hear her cry cause she never usually cries unless she is really, really tired or hungry and then she really don't scream like she was doing. Thanks for allways being her for me I Love all of you and really I am not really this big of a weeny just seems that as I get older things get alot tougher on me to handle. My other daughter called me with good news that she is pregnant, she has been trying since she got married in Jan, but also she called me the week before telling me she can't make any payments on some things and that the collection people keep calling and I am suppose to be excited, man oh man is that a hard one to do. OH well enough of my letting everything out I do feel better and thanks for listening. Like I said Thank to all of you I don't know what I would do without all of you....Hugs to all....Vic

Dear Vic, Mountaingal, It sounds like there is an awful lot going on, hosting a rollercoaster of emotions. I will be praying for you and your loved ones. Hopefully your little Kimbernut will be on her way to feeling like herself soon. I know what you mean about the older you get the more things seem to bother you. I guess with our added years comes wisdom in knowing that your daughter may have a rough road ahead in her situation, but hopefully that situation is temporary and they'll come out of it alright. Sincerely, Shari

You MUST CALM DOWN. Honestly, being that anxious is not helpful to your child (or is it grandchild?). Please find a way to reduce your anxiety you sure don't want to raise her to break down over every little thing life throws at you or her, then you have no energy if a big problem arrives. Even then, just do what you can calmly. I'm genuinely concerned that your anxieties may negatively effect the child. Don't mean it in a mean way, trying to help you see how your reaction adds to the situation instead of taking charge and being postitive. Holding you both in prayer.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
