Wild Wednesday

First off woke up to a beautiful snow day...which means I got to sleep in. The snow was only a factor for about an hour. Sophie didn't go to Ballet and we did not have church tonight. We pretty much just vegged out today. It was GREAT!!!! I spent a wonderful day enjoying my children.

My sister however did not have such a great day. She had to be at the hospital for surgery at 9 am. She waited until almost Noon before they took her back. After the surgery, which went very well, she had an allergic reaction. Nothing like trying to recover while scratching out your eyes and rubbing your skin off. Benadryl was not strong enough so the doctor she works for suggested taking something on top of it. She may sleep till next week:) The clincher to all of this is that she had this same surgery last month and they did not take out what they were supposed to. Praying her results are great!

Just found out that another friend of mine had a brain scan today...will be praying fervently for her!

You never know when you wake up what you will face...thankfully we do not face things alone. God will never leave or forsake! Sometimes that is the only thing that we have to cling to...cling to it with your life. God is the only thing worth clinging on to...not the job that may dissolve, and not the relationship that may dissapoint. The economy is fleeting and love fades but God endures. I know this sounds a little dark but I mean it to be a flashlight in a gloomy time for some. Today everything in my life is intact and wonderful but as my sweet husband found out today all of that can change in a moment.

I called Jerry today to talk about where Freddie (our Choodle) would stay this weekend as the family leaves town. He sounded a little strange so I asked him what was wrong. He said that he hated his job. Usually the only time he says this is when the powers that be ask him to do something boring or ridiculous. So I waited to hear what they had asked him to do this time. This time it was not the people he worked with but the story he had to cover that bothered him. He had to go to a story where he saw them pulling a dead child out of a burning house. They pulled a second child out who thankfully is still alive. I can not even fathom the things this guy has had to see in the line of his job. I do know that I held my kids a little more today and gave hugs and kisses a little more frequently and was held tight by the love of my life a little tighter when he came home today.

Life is good and I am thankful.....
