MERRY CHRISTMAS LATE !!!!! (long post)

Wow I haven't blogged in a record long time. Over 3 months, can you believe that ?? Well, Lets see what has been happening at the Shreeve Household.

We will start with Shel, he is currently doing odd jobs and cutting wood to make extra money, he parted ways with Sonic a month or two ago. He hunts every chance he gets and is really into working out, he even bought a months membership at Just be Fit here in White House, I have to say, he has been working hard and you can tell, he is getting bigger.

Austin, he is still at Macy's the way the economy is, so bad I think he is lucky to have a job. He works all the over time they will let him, I believe he was working like over 70 hours a week, a few weeks ago, 12 hrs a day 6 days a week I am very proud of the work ethic he has. They have slowed down for now, but at least he still gets his 40 hours !! He and Callie will celebrate their 1 yr anniversary on the 8th of January, Her 18th Birthday as well. Happy Birthday Callie !!!

Dave, He is hanging in there, YRC aka USF Holland is going though some changes and while, no one likes changes, I hope that this is just a small bump in the road, that we will get past. The Union will be voting for a 10 % decrease in pay, to keep the shipping rates competitive with other carriers, and the company running. While we don't like it, we are very happy that he still has a job. It could be a lot worse.

Now is time for my update, Well there has not been a lot going on with me, I had quarterly taxes, and business licenses, got them done and out. Getting ready for Tax Season now.
Went to the Dr. and he said that I have fibromyalgia, and have probably had it for a while, and when he said that, I was thinking really ? I couldn't wait to get home and research it, and it seems I have almost every symptom, my ankles and knees have hurt for a long time but these other symptoms I have only had like about a year or so. I will be going to a Rheumatologist on the 27th of January, maybe he can do something for the pain. I'm sure time will tell. I will not under-estimate the power of Prayer and positive thinking.

Ok I know this is long, but, its special to me.
There is one thing I would like to share.
When the wii Nintendo Game first came out I thought how cool it would be to own one, but of course when things are new like that, they are very high priced, so there was no way to get one then. Almost a year later I had seen them on TV and looked at them, but still really couldn't afford one.a few months ago, my sister calls and she had won the whole Wii Bundle I mean all of the stuff almost a $600 value,from channel 4 News @ 5 o'clock . Oh how I wanted it every bit more, I was so jealous, So I tried a few days to win it just like she did, needless to say I didn't win.
ok now..... Ebay was giving away 42 during a "Deal of the Day" promotion, about 2 weeks ago, I spent most of my day trying to when this Wii. Needless to say I didn't win.

So for the last half of November and all thru December, I had harassed David to buy me one, Of course his answer was no we can not afford one, and every time after that, it was just a little more intense.

AND.......

Then my Uncle Mike called.
......My Uncle and my Aunt Sandra and I have got a lot closer this year, while we were taking care of Grandmomma and then afterwards, dividing up her stuff.
I miss her so much her birthday was November 29th .

Back to Uncle Mike calling, we talked a lil while and then he said If I knew about those wii's ?? He had a wii, he said that him and lil' Mike had stood in line at Best Buy at 6:30 am I think the morning after Thanksgiving, to get one, since they were in such high demand they both got one, Lil'Mike got one for his daughter Alaina, and Uncle Mike got one, that he wasn't sure what he was going to with.
Isn't it amazing how God works, he ask me if we wanted it, I was in shock.... I burst out crying just boo-hoo'ing.... and he said, are you crying?????, because if you are, I'm taking the Damn thing back....lol....In true Uncle Mike fashion !!! So I after crying and laughing, I told him how bad I had wanted one, and there was no way I was getting one...
We have had so much fun with it, We play it everyday !!! Thanks Again Uncle Mike !!! hopefully I'll lose a few lbs along the way !!! Peace Out !!!!! ;)
