Back in action

So, I have been MIA for a good long while and it's time I get back in the groove of blogging. Today marks 4 yrs since I left my abusive marriage and did what was right for my son. So today I will start anew again and see where God can take me this coming year!!

Real Free stuff

Hey, so I found this cool freebie site, Hey It's Free!! from the Woman's Day magazine. I was worried at first about the whole spam thing but WOW was I wrong. Goob, the main man, does an awesome job not only filtering out all the spammy stuff but he is ridiculously entertaining and amusing as well. I have gotten some really cool freebies like a TiVo Cookie cutter, posters, stickers and even free Magic the gathering decks (which I gave to my brother for Christmas, Thanks Goob).
AND NOW, as if it isn't awesome enough to get tons of free stuff so easily, he is giving away a $50 Wal-mart card (imagine the yarn you could get, or supplies, etc..)just for sharing the info with you guys!! So go check it out, you will be pleasantly surprised!

My mom's medical update/Sorry not knittong related

We just got home from a visit to the Emergency Room with mom which resulted in (for her) the reality that she will with 100% positivity be having her left big toe amputated in the VERY near future (as in what I expect will be in the next week maybe two). The gangrene that has been stable for several months now (we were scheduled for them to unblock the artery in that leg the second week of december) has decided to begin to get worse. So, she is back on antibiotics and will see the wound care doctor/surgeon thursday to asses the toe and we will know more then. Please be praying for peace and acceptance for her as she has been trying to convince herself all this time that the toe can be saved and now there is not a chance at all for that (well, we all know God can do that if He so chooses). And also be praying for her strength as losing the big toe basically requires learning how to balance and walk again as this messes with the balance in walking, and for the continued willingness of my sister in law for babysitting. THANKS all for the prayers and support I have seen LEAPS and BOUNDS in her faith since ReMix.

PS: Please feel free to pass this along to any prayer chains or people you know (or I know and I don't have email for) the more prayer the better!!
