Hi all I hope your Thanksgiving was a good and safe one! We had a great day! We ended up having it here at my house. I made turkey, stuffing, gravy, rolls, sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes, and my mom brought pecan, and pumpkin pie, and my brother brought steamed broccoli. We had a good time chatting and eating good food. My older brother and his wife came by and spent some time with everyone. It was nice to see them even for a little bit. They are going to be adopting a baby very, very soon! They are adopting a baby from a young mother who has a baby of 1 year old, and is pregnant again. The last time they talked she had gone to the hospital 3 times due to pain. She is having false labor pains and is dilated to a 2! So it could be any day!!!! She isn't due til Dec. 18th, but hopefully it will be sooner. I will keep you posted! I have gotten the boys in S.A.C. which is an after school care program, like daycare but through the school, until 6pm so that means that I can get a job outside of the home I hope!!! I am going to Walmart, and Homeland, and a few other places around here that are hiring. I also went to DHS to see if we qualified for food stamps and they can also help out with the after school care. Once I get a job then I will know if we qualify for DHS to pay for the daycare. Even if they cover some of the cost, that would be awesome! Right now we need all the help we can get, barely able to make it paycheck to paycheck! So that is what is going on right now......... Darryl headed out a little bit ago for Decatur, Al and then he is off to Iowa, then next weekend he is heading to New York, and on the way he is going to stop at his brother's in Pa to pick up his tools! So that is awesome, instead of us having to travel up there, by renting a car, and all that........... which would cost about $1000........ so that helps alot. His brother is moving in February and is going to sell his duplicate tools, so this is awesome that he can go up there now and get it. So I will keep you posted on everything. I hope all is well, stay safe, Hugs ~ Jilly
