Today we had to take our Shih Tzu to the vet. He's carrying on something awful, with whining and crying and turning every which way... Doc says he's hurt his back somehow, so he gave him some Robaxin and Prednisone that he has to be on for about a month! Poor little guy... we thought he had been poisoned or something. Thank You Lord that he wasn't. He is in such pain though, and I hate this for him. We took him to get a haircut (he was matted) and dh and I think that the groomer may have had to hold him down on his back to shave his tummy, and he probably squirmed and threw his back out. Definitely NO FAULT of the groomer though... we think she's the best! Our fault for letting him get so long before we took care of him. *Sigh* Now the guilt sets in...

A good thing happened today. We got our house refinanced and are waiting for our mortgage lender to call us back and let us know if she could do anything toward getting our new house we have been praying for. Still haven't heard back about that, but we did at least get our interest rate down by 4 points! YEA! So even if nothing works about the new house, we'll have a better rate on THIS house.

I wrote a letter to the Judge I am supposed to appear in front of on the 3rd requesting him to simply remove me as th Executrix of my Mom's estate. Her lawyer is basically threatening me with jail because I used some of my Mom's funds to go and see my Dad as he lay in a hospital bed dying with brain cancer 9 months after my Mom's cancer spread to her brain and killed her. I know my Mom, and she would have been angry IF I DIDN'T use that money to get to my Dad. I'm scared of what is going to happen. Maybe jail time? I don't know. They can have it all... they've taken most of it anyway, so what difference does a couple hundred dollars make?

Anyhoo~ Homemade pizza is on the agenda for tonight, and lots of prayer for my pup and me.... Laundry is almost done, and I am working this weekend.
So there's my life in a nutshell for awhile. Same ol' turmoil and the devil tries and tries to stir things up around here. But life is good, and the Lord even better....

Blessings to you all!
