Frustrations...and a cute pic!

So I have been having some difficulties with school lately. Nothing God can't work out, but long story short I can't start clinicals until October which doesn't allow me to get all my hours in, and I can't give day care the days I need because I have no idea what days I will be doing clinical. It's all very frustrating, but like Jason said, at the end of the day we're still healthy, we still have jobs and God is still in control. We will survive this.

My aunt Alice sent me this pic of me when I was about 18 months. I'm holding our cat named Neut (yes, he was named for that reason) who is the same age as me. He only died a few years ago...that was one old cat. Anyway, I can't decide if I look like Allie or not. I definitely have some pudge on me...more than Allie. I'd like to get ahold of some more pics of me so that we can compare. So, Alice, I know you're sending me a disc, but if you find some good face shots of me, send them my way!!

What do you think? If you can't see my face well, just click on the photo to maximize it...aren't I a cutie!!! And yes...that poor cat. That is not the only pic of us kids holding poor neut that way. I know we have one of me holding him by his tail. He put up with a lot. Also, can you tell I was raised on a farm?? Did the tractor and the chicken house in the distance give that away??

I tried to find a pic of Allie with the same facial expression but couldn't. I'll keep looking!

Have a great day!

If it were up to me I'd tell you to trash the daycare and bring her to me. I LOVED watching them together and she's so freaking sweet. It's sickening. I WANT HER!

Val, poor Neut. I can't understand how he survived. I looked in the background and saw not only the chicken house and tractor but also the old green chevy. Oh my, the stories that car could tell!! I drove it in highschool and then your dad drove it. It got around. All you kids were so darned cute. I would say that Allie isn't so much your kid as she is both you and Jason. Adorable anyway.
