Feeling: Glazed

Do you ever get in those moods where you feel just blah....I am so feeling that right now!

My uncle james died yesterday he wasnt actually my uncle he was in the marines with my grandfather and they served together in the War. They have always been close with our family, and when my grandfather died they always stayed close and where at every family function. I know the he is walking with Jesus and my grandaddy is showing him around heaven. I will miss him so much but he is not hurting anymore.

I guess in combination with all the things that have been going on I guess its just wearing me down....

I need a vacation, lol!

Addies First Trip to the Pool

This was a fun new thing for us to do, I took addie to the pool today. It was fun and she was unsure at first but soon warmed up and had fun! That and she got to wear her cute bathing suit!

On our way home the poor thing couldnt stay awake...It was rough going to the pool today.

Prayerfully consider Donations

As you have read in earlier posts I am sure you know that my mom and I started a foundation last year for Ovarian Cancer Awareness and Education.

We started the foundation in memory of my aunt how died in 2004, or goal is to educate women and bring Ovarian Cancer to the forefront, did you know its the 5th leading cause of death in women? it takes thousands of lives everyday.....If the cancer is confined to the ovary and found in early stages the five year survival rate is 90% but only 19% of patients are diagnosed in this stage because most women are not educated about Ovarian Cancer, they don't know the symptoms and don't push their doctors to test them. Women who are diagnosed in later stages the survival rate drops to 26%.

So I am making a plea, for monatary donations. every little bit helps! We want to make sure that we raise awareness and the only way we can do that is with your help! We would love for you to join us at our crop on september 6th, if you would like to join us go to our website www.lindafkellyfoundation.org click on the join us page and get your registration form. If you cannot join us would you prayerfully consider making a monatary donation. You can do that on our website as well by clicking on the donate page.

God has called us to help women, to educate them to make sure they don't suffer and their families don't suffer! We feel blessed to be given this oppurtunity I hope we can count on you!

Thanks

Michelle

Oh my addie grace

Foundation Frustration

less than 2 months until our first foundation fundraiser and I am starting to think my mom and I will be the only ones in attendence.

Here is my frustration ( I need to vent)

It seems like no amount of advertising does the trick although on a positive note we will be on blog talk radio tomorrow! I am praying that we will have some listeners interested in joining the fun.

My other frustration I have 6 million things to do...and nothing ordered! BAH!
