All Is Well In The House Of Jo

     Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It is the time to take the time and remember what we are thankful for. I am thankful for the loving family I have around me. They are wonderful and supportive, and not afraid to give me advice even if it will hurt my feelings. Now that's love right there. I am thankful for the beautiful scenery I am so blessed to look at every morning when I come home from work. I love the way the colors are changing right now. Fall is my favorite season. Warm days and cool nights. My mom would say it is the kind of weather that gets a person pregnant. I guess I don't really have to worry about that though. Ha ha! I am thankful to have such a wonderful, smart, and beautiful daughter. My daughter is eight years old. She is very tall for her age and is a full head taller than the other children in her class. She is also academically ahead. I hope that once my crazy life settles down, in about a year, I will be able to get her involved in more activities that she loves, like dance or sports. For being such a girly girl, she sure can throw a ball! I am also thankful for the Lord above who helps me make it through every day. He has truly blessed me.

     During the Thanksgiving holiday, I contracted strep. I have never had strep before and can tell you I never want it again. That knocked me on my butt., It takes allot to make me call into work. I had to call in to both jobs. It was hard to call in on my people that i take care of in home health. I have been taking care of them for about 2.5 years now and have grown very attached. They look at me like I was another one of their children, my daughter like she was a grandchild, and I love them like they were my own. Their daughter is very nice as well, we get along good. I see them 6 days a week, every evening. I missed them while I was sick, and even went back to work with them before I was fully recovered. I made sure I was no longer contagious though. I do not want to get them sick. They are 92 and 96 years old and still doing quit well. Wonderfully people.
   Well, i need to get my house work done, laundry finished, and go cuddle with my little girl. I have physical therapy in the morning and will need my strength. I hope every one has a great day!

Sincerely,
JD
