Baby Gift in memory of Jada

Today when I got off of work I took this baby blanket that I finally finished yesterday up to CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's Hospital and then took it up to the NICU and handed it to the nurses.  I explained that 18 yrs ago I had a 12 week early premie that only weighed 2 lbs 3 1/2 oz and that we had spent 80 days in a NICU…See More

"Hey Cathy - I'm thinking of you and hoping things are going more smoothly in San Antonio. May 24 is less than 2 weeks away now! I know that's still a long time, but it's within sight. Hang in there. Sending you love and prayers."

Please put me on your prayer list

I'm calling on all my fellow prayer warriors.  I need prayers to get me through this.  I've made the move and made it to San Antonio.  My husband and son are still back home till the end of school on May 24th.  I'm SUPER stressed out and SUPER stressed out.  Crying has become a daily occurrence.  The new job is nice but it's a whole different ball game here so I'm learning it all over again.  They have you working 4 days on 3 days off dispatching.  Two of those days are 8hr days and the other…See More

Turning the page to a new chapter in my life

Well in 8 hrs I'll start my last day of work.  I'm going to work armed with a box of puffs.  When I moved here to be with my husband (we were dating at the time) I didn't know anyone but him here in town.  8 years later and now I'm moving on to a new chapter in life and leaving all my family, friends & co-workers behind is killing me.  It hurt when I moved here and left my old job but I had not been there that long.  Now I'm saying goodbye to so many people and moving 6 1/2 hrs away to…See More

Great news update & a challenge for each of you

I finally found out today on the new job.  I got the final offer and they wound offering me a total of $1,300 more a year than the original offer which is still more than $4 more an hour than I'm making now.  Finally it seems that things might be headed in the right direction again.  If nothing else it's an improvement over the last few months.  So I've given my letter of resignation today to my Chief Deputy.  As I started to tear up he said "Do not cry in my office."  As I turned to walk out I…See More

"(p.s. The dual role may be only in small communities like ours, where actual fires are exceedingly rare, and even police activity is mainly... well, two words: "bike cops." In other words, it's fairly quiet here.)"

"Hi Cathy! I  saw this today and it made me think of you :) I don't know if it's the same week in the US - or if there even is a National Dispatchers Week - but... hooray to you for the work you do! (The fine print on the banner says…"

Just an update

I'm not dead just really busy.  I thought I'd take a moment to update everyone on what is going on in our hectic life.  I FINALLY got over the stomach bug...only took me 25 days!   I never want to go through that again.  I got a call from the Alamo Heights PD in San Antonio and I went down there Friday and had my job interview.  It wound up lasting 2 hrs and they made the decision right there to hire me.  So I signed a conditional offer of the job and then went & took my physical and drug…See More

Finding ways to give in the strangest of situations

For those in the prayer cafe they know but as for the rest of you I've been sick now 12 days straight.  I'm unable to eat anything and keep it in me.  Just goes straight on out.  The dr's are running tests and I'm doing my dead level best to keep myself hydrated so I don't have to wind up in the hospital in one of those open ended hospital gowns and an IV.I've had to stop my current giving round and will start over once I get well...if it ever happens ugh.  Anyhow I had to run some samples to…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I read the article in MSFocus magazine and I also have MS. It inspired me to do the same thing and since I'm the local MS self-help group leader I'm going to be passing it on to my MS group.
What I'd most like to receive:
Nothing more than know I'm doing something for someone else even if they don't know it. Also to help keep my mind off of my daily challenges from MS.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
Article in the MSFocus Magazine
About me:
I'm 37 yrs old and I have MS. I'm married with 3 kids and 1 very spoiled bullmastiff named Bear. My husband and I are both in law enforcement. I'm a dispatcher and he's a undercover narcotics detective.
