Your New Year Resolutions?
Tomorrow the kids start school, I start my diet. Life returns to the normal/abnormal around here. Ben is going back to school today, but Sophia and Zach (who is returning from a friend's wedding tomorrow) will be home until next week.
I have 222 emails in my Inbox, a folder of thank you notes and a folder of medical bills to sort through.
But tomorrow, I am going to Winchester to a court hearing in the continuing saga of the Miller/Jenkins Two Mommy custody battle.
Tuesday is Father Kelly's funeral.
Wednesday I truly hope to be back to my writing/blogging life full force.
Tripp has now been off antibiotics for two weeks and we will get some lab results back tomorrow to see how he is doing. If he remains infection free, ha may have a new knee in February. Please continue to pray for him. He is still dealing with a lot of pain - the doctor says because of scar tissue formation and the cement spacer which is holding his two bones apart until the new knee can be put in. He would rather go without the pain meds though, so he is toughing it out.
I am mostly looking forward to plowing through my Inbox because there is always so mcu there to share with you - like the Embryo Adoption story I am posting this morning. My readers are a constant source on inspiration to me and I so appreciate your sharing stories that reach out and touch the lives of others.
This is when women are at our best - when we encourage and inspire each other to reach the potential God already knows we have. Writing this blog has helped me personally and I know from what you all have shared with me that there are many of you whose lives have been changed too.
We currently have over 50 members on the MommyLife Diet 2009 group board, where we are encouraging each other as we pursue our different weight loss/food relationship goals. This is an invitation-only group, so if you are dealing with dieting/food issues and would like to be invited, please let me know and I will send you an invitation.
Also, during the holidays and in the flurry of preparing for the Diet Support Group, I forgot I am hosting my second Apron Power Photo Contest. Entries are due January 25 and I will be posting them as they come in.
Lots of love and best wishes to you for all you endeavor to do in the coming year. May you and your family grow ever closer to God through his Son Jesus Christ!

Hi Barbara,
I hope all is well with Tripp's results! What has the hospital said about all this, knowing he was a MRSA carrier before anything even started?
I just wanted to let you know FYI, that I understand not wanting the heavy duty pain meds, but perhaps there is something he could take? Pain is not something that you "get used to". Because pain signals actually irritate the nerves, the same pain signal will actually be perceived as MORE painful if left unchecked.
Still praying for you!

I plan to read through the Bible in the NRSV version this year, using my Renovare Study Bible.
