The Curse of the Knitted Hat....

I have been cursed, I think. I was asked by my mother to make a hat for a friend of her's youngest child who has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and is undergoing chemo and radiation treatment. So I started to work on this hat. The first time around I royally screwed it up and had to frog the thing. I started again on Sunday and yesterday when I took the kids to the dentist I started the decreasing on it but I screwed up again so back to the dang frog pond I went. About the time I had decided there was nothing I could do to save the hat my computer decided to give up the ghost and fry itself. Ok normally I would have gotten upset but after the last 2 weeks of crap happening to me I have about had it. Last week it was the mess with my daughter, then the window on my car rolled down on its own and come to find out the motor and the regulator and that was going to cost us about 210.00 to get it fixed. I'm telling you it has been a hoot. It got so bad last week I drank and entire bottle of wine by myself on a weeknight. Now, those that don't know me, I do not drink that often. I may drink a glass of wine with dinner, or a beer while watching the Titans play but as far as drinking its not my thing. I had, had enough that day and my mind could not take anymore from anyone. It was better if I were buzzed. However, sometimes if you just sit back and say a prayer or just hand it over to God things have a way of working out. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't do any of that but apparently God loves me and He wants to help me and I'm proud to say that I did say thank you. I may be a lot of things but one thing I most definatly am is a grateful person. Without Gods eternal love and care I promise you I would not be where I am right now. It may not be where I want to be but its where I have been placed at this time. The car was fixed not for the 210.00 but for 90.00. The computer will be fixed this week and it was under warranty and they are coming out to my house to fix it, I have lost a lot but I didn't loose a lot. See about 2 months ago on a whim I decided to buy 250 gig external hard drive and move all my stuff that I wanted to keep like pictures or files, over to that hard drive so most of my stuff was already backed up. Now I did loose all my games and such but thats a matter of loading all the software back onto the computer. My daughter will be ok its the age but the lying has to stop I can not stand the lying. My son is home and safe and the youngest is about to figure some of it out I think. And as for the hat, I guess I need to pray a little more thru the stitches for the healthy and the well being of this child and his family as well as for my own maybe I didn't pray hard enough. All in all God is good ALL the time even when you and I can't see it and think you can't feel it.
