I Stubbed My Toe and My Life Is Over

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

I have to say, the time spent on bed rest has really reminded me of how blessed we have previously been, and it has provided some new blessings along the way.

One of my favorite people is my sister-in-law Sarah.  She just recently moved out on her own, and started school.  She has been adjusting to life with a roommate and dating, and all of the things an 18 year old should be doing.

She and I had a chance to sit down and talk a few days ago, and we were talking about some of the relationships she’s in, and how it is hard for her to understand the drama that often comes with having friends.  She joked that one person in particular could stub her toe, and she’d think her life was over.  We had a good laugh and didn’t think much more about it.

Lightning

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Last night, we went to bed late and as I started to settle in and closed my eyes I saw a flash of light and part of my face went numb.  At first I thought it was lightning outside, so I opened my eyes and sat in the dark for a while wondering if my face was really numb or if I have just become crazy-paranoid because of the recent health news.

I decided to wait and see (my favorite health care method) and I fell asleep.  This morning everything was fine.  So, turns out I made the right call by not freaking out, but I will make sure when I go for my appointment next week.

Since I first thought it was lightning when it happened, it made me think of all of the storms we’ve been having in our area.  It’s been total turmoil outside, including tornadoes that touched down within 20 miles of here, monsoon rains and dry lightning storms.  As I look out the window, wondering what the weather will bring today, I realized that the weather is stormy on the outside, but the house is peaceful.  Much like our journey right now.

No Room For Four

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

After preschool today, Monkeys aunt took her to the park and out for ice cream.  When they came back I was sleeping, but her aunt told me there were kids at the park that were mean to Monkey.  I asked what happened, and it turns out they had bubbles so Monkey went up and in an attempt to join the fun, she started laughing and popping bubbles.  The little girl thought it was funny and they started playing a game of blowing and popping the bubbles together.

Apparently, one of the two boys didn’t like the game and told her there was three of them, and with Monkey it would be four, and there was no room for four.  My disappointed Monkey went and told her aunt what happened, so they left the park for ice cream and toy shopping at Target. (more…)
