Having One Of THOSE Days
Ok, so I am sitting here on the borderline of having my own little "pity party" but I know that the only ones that will attend this party will be me and the devil...so I'm fighting that urge. I don't really care to hang out with him! LOL! I wish I could snap my fingers and all would be well! I can't stand seeing my family "down" and kinda/sorta "out of commission"! My Mom is a real trooper! I have to give her lots of credit! She can "take a lickin and keep on tickin" with the best of them! Being an only child has its ups and downs. Times like this is when the "downs" hit you hard. Well, there again, I am blessed! Several friends have stepped up to the plate to help out in so many ways! Thank you Lord for these wonderful people in my life! Mother has a wonderful friend (she's my friend too and we consider her "family") PATSY! She stuck by Mom and me the entire time we were at the hospital and Mom in surgery and she also is helping take care of things for my Mom at home so I can take care of things for Cade and my Grandmother with a little less stress! WE LOVE YOU PATSY! I actually came to work for a while today.....told my co-workers that I was looking forward to being at the office for a while - today this is my "corner of the world"! LOL! Hopefully we are all on the mend! I talked with Cade's doctor earlier to find out what else we can do for his ear aches. They say this comes along with having tonsils and adenoids taken out but seeing him in pain is so hard on me! The doctors office gave me great instructions - even called me back a second time with another idea. So, hopefully these ear aches will soon be gone! On another note, tomorrow is Thursday. Thursdays are not good days for my family (Grandmother fell and broke hip on Thurs. two weeks ago and Mother fell and broke arm last Thurs) I think I will hybernate tomorrow! LOL! Oh, I needed that chuckle! I told Judy earlier that I was sooooo ready to get back to my NORMAL BUSY ROUTINE! LOL! I have no regrets with taking care of things for my family. Family is a precious treasure that God gives us and we are suppose to look after one another! I have also finally realized another gift that God has blessed me with and that is the ability to be able to "overload" , yet, HANDLE things and GET IT TAKEN CARE OF!! I know, many of us have never stopped and thought about that aspect of our lives being a blessing!!! I haven't until now. I ask that you all continue to keep us in your prayers! Thank you all for your prayers, calls, e-mails, cards....simply, yet wonderful, gestures of concern! We all have such busy lives and schedules and as I was told by someone recently, whether or not you hear from me, please know that I am praying for you. This is true, yet always remember that even the simplest of gestures, a moment of your time to pray, check in, show concern....WOW, is that ever appreciated?!?!?! More than you will ever know! I hope that I can always be there for you all as well! I want to be because I know how good it feels to know someone cares about us! Love and Hugs!~~Until Later

Oh my God Starla...No wonder I have not heard from you! Bless your heart! I had no idea that your Mom broke her wrist and all the other things to go along with it. Judy told us a little bit what was going on and now I have got on here to catch up with you and to post some things to my page, now I can't even think right! When things settle down, email me! Bless your heart, we are far away but if you need ANYTHING we are there! Miss you!
