Diana, I love your cushions too! They will look so pretty!!! I'm so sorry you've had some bad days. I feel sorta stressed today too and I really shouldn't because I love having the kids here. But all the chaos really makes me feel a lot of stress sometimes. I know I couldn't take the stress that you are under right now. And I'm equally sure I couldn't keep the kids full-time in the summer and I really don't think it is right for you to have to do that. I think it is a great idea for some of the other kids to babysit. It will be a good way for them to earn some money and also learn some responsibility. We have kids when we are young for a reason! LOL!!!

Janet, I'm so glad everything is settled now. AND FOR SURE, you should squirrel that money away for something you really want. I would not share it with anyone! LOL!

We had a good visit with Gary's lung doctor today. When he and the heart doc talked on Wednesday, he thought Gary's problems might be with his lungs, but today the lung tests did not show any problems, other than the usual lung problems Gary has had for years. So, we are definitely on for going to the hospital on Monday and doing some heart tests. I hope they can figure out what is wrong, or at least figure out something so that Gary feels a little better. He is OK at complete rest, but it is no fun only being able to do things at rest with little to no activity. We had a really neat experience though. After we saw the lung doctor, he called the heart doctor to tell her what he found and then she called us on my cell phone (she had taken our number on Wed when we were in her office) before we even got out of the lung doc's office. She told us she had talked to the lung doc and they were in agreement that these new problems were probably his heart so she would be doing the heart tests on Monday. She also said that she was not on call this weekend, but she gave us her private cell number and told me to call her if Gary needed anything this weekend. That made Gary feel really special!
