When it rains, it pours

My mom was told after her last yearly exam that she had several fibroids in her uterus and needed some tests done and possibly a hysterectomy. She got her blood work back today from those tests. They tested for ovarian cancer, and a normal test result is 0-35 hers was a 96. They still do not know for sure that she has ovarian cancer so they have to do the hysterectomy and have it biopsied. Once they get those results back they will know if she needs any other treatment or not.

One of my best friends from home told me she has 2 lumps in one of her breasts and is having a biopsy done on Tuesday.

Today has not been a good day.

A week of awesome giveaways!

My friend Jessica is having a week worth of giveaways to celebrate her 500th post. She has some really awesome things up for grabs. I REALLY like the spoon pendant. So if you have not already you should head over and check out her bloggy giveaways!

Todays giveaway is 2 baskets of items that I have made. Sugar scrub, bath salts, laundry detergent, and a loaf of fresh beer cheese bread. Also I will give one free refill of bath salts to the winners, if they ship the containers back to me. Jessica compared me to a modern day Laura Ingalls Wilder. Never really thought of myself that way but I kind of like it. If I could just get my stinking sewing machine to work, I could make myself some cool aprons and bonnets!
