Jenessa (Boey) and Extreme Home Makeover Edition

I have always been a big fan of the television show Extreme Home Makeover Edition. Not only does Extreme Home Makeover Edition show some fabulous work by the design team, they also give that time and hard work to a family who is in need of that new home. Awesome work and an awesome cause!

This week's show was about the Byers family from Corvallis, Oregon. Their 8 year old daughter Jenessa (known as Boey to her family) had been battling cancer since 2006, and just when they thought she was getting better, the cancer came back. But even while she was battling cancer, Jenessa would go to other cancer stricken children in the hospital and deliver stuffed animals she had bought with her allowance. She was known as an inspiration and wanted to put a smile on other children's faces, even when she was in pain herself. She even went as far as starting a blog.

Generally Extreme Home Makeover Edition's shows end in happiness. Sadly on December 28th, 2007, Jenessa passed away due to pneumonia.

I am not a big fan in the belief of god. However, Jenessa was a believer and I believe even now, she is caring for the children who have passed away from illness, just as she did in life.

It just goes to show us that without the strength of our children, there is no hope for this world. Jenessa is hope as well as our own children who have the strength to survive in this insane world.

I may not physically know Jenessa, yet she will always be remembered.

"Thank You Jenessa Nicole (Boey) Byers for inspiring us all."

My To-Do List

One of the things on my to-do list is buying a home entertainment theater. It's something I've just always wanted. Even though that someday will more than likely be a while, it doesn't hurt to look around. Right now Stands and Mounts is offering some great ideas for a home entertainment theater. Just check out their home theater chairs! Pretty cool I think. I can already imagine that my husband is going to love the idea of a gaming chair.lol Well at least shipping is free! If you're a big gamer like my husband is, this may very well be an idea place to stop by.

Log Cabins For Rent

My other half as always wanted a log cabin, so I thought I might make part of his dream come true by looking into Pigeon Forge vacation rentals. Pigeon Forge vacation rentals is located in Pigeon Forge, TN and has some really beautiful log cabins for rent. I found one with both a pool table and a jacuzzi...features we'd both love.

They have cabins that can accommodate both couples and those with families or pets. Prices range from $105 to $420 a night, depending on your ideal needs. If you're thinking of a vacation soon and love the idea of a log cabin or you know someone who does, check out Pigeon Forge Vacation Rentals and let me know what you think.

Get A Real Job!

How many times have you heard the title line repeated to you? I know I've heard it more than once and it gets very tiring. At one point I thought I was alone, but then I read posts like Deborah's Working at home: It’s not all jammies and bon bons and I am reminded of how many other freelance writers have to put up with the same thing I do. Over and Over again. Whether your friends or family have told you to your face to get a real job or they just assume you can automatically drop whatever you're doing to tend to their needs, YOU'RE NOT ALONE!

 

Until recently, my husband had a really bad habit of assuming that I am available to do anything since I work at home. It took me having a nervous breakdown and him having to scramble to find a babysitter to realize that I'm not. Now I'm not sure if his new way of thinking will last forever, but at least I got him to listen and understand that my job is very real. Even if it's just a one time deal!
