Fer Sure

It has been a roller coaster of a week.  There has been some time to reflect about things that I know for certain.  Here goes:

1.  I am lucky to have 3 healthy and generally happy boys in my family. For certain they wrestle. For certain they argue. For certain they drive me crazy. For certain they are my whole world.

2.  It feels certain that I get just as many pimples now as I did when I was in Jr. High.  Also, just as embarrassing.  I keep saying when I am in my 80's I will be happy to have such youthful skin.  Not sure.  May invest in concealer.

3.  It is scary and feels out of control when someone you love is sick. 

4.  My mom loves me even though she can only respond "same to you" when I tell her.

5.  I am blessed with wonderful, caring people in my life.  As I laid in bed sick on Thursday I cried on the phone anytime someone called to check on me.  I, for certain, was a mess.  But I am also certain that I appreciated it.

6.  I am certain that some of my favorite words are "We are bringing you dinner."  It was fantastic!  And I LOVED not thinking about what to feed the troops or making it.  Thank you.

7.  I married a "good one".  There have been several moments in my life when I just sparkle with love for my man.  This one is silly but true.  I was driving to the hospital to visit my mom and wanting to listen to some music.  Searched the ipod and my spouse had downloaded a song that I have been enjoying on the radio.  He listens to me AND he takes action.  What a man.  I sang my heart out to Pink like nobody's business.

8.  Two out of three isn't bad.  Our first attempt at our children sleeping over at a friend's house only ended with one coming home early.  Can you guess which one??  He woke up instantly regretting his decision.

9.  It might have been a good idea to get some medical training as I have learned to give my mom shots in the abdomen and now how to learn to give IV antibiotics through a Picc line.  Say wha?  I guess I should have followed my sixth grade dream of becoming a nurse. Maybe then I could do it without closing my eyes. 

10.  I so appreciate having my sister near by to help during these health scare moments.  DCT you know who you are and you rock.

11.  Hospitals overcharge you for simple stuff.  TV was $5.00 a day!  THEN I went to get a bottle of water in the snack shop and it was empty.  Walked to the other side of the hospital and it was $.50 more expensive.  What a racket.  Also parking....$3.00 a day.  C'mon people. 

12.  I am going to be late for church.  Again.  For certain.
