A New Day

Things are looking up. I'm back in town, back to work and back in my routine....my happy spot. Coming up on the third anniversary...wow, time flies.

Lots more to report on the Vegas trip....write later!

Well what do you know? Maybe God does have a plan for all of us. Eh, still not sure I buy that. But I sure as heck can't explain my friend's turn around from critical condition to where he is at now. I'm not sure the Dr's can either, and that my friends is what one might just call a miracle even if it did happen to one of no faith. The crisis seems to have passed, now to find a way to help the family make their way while everyone recovers. I will do my part.

So I'm a bit overwhelmed these days. Got sick again. My lungs don't seem to like me these days. My new asthma meds are amazing, but they didn't stop me from another upper respiratory infection. I'm over the hump, but it's getting old! We seem to have so much going on, nothing huge, just like a big pile of little things that you can't seem to chip away enough to make a difference. I make a list, I check everything off, the next day I have a new longer list. That's life I guess. I gripe, but I think I thrive in the challenge.

Looking forward to a few days away.

Work in progress at best. It's late. I am tired. Yes, excuses. In my defense, 3 kids, the house, 4 jobs and a full time student. I still have a really clean house and the laundry is caught up and my kids are awesome. You may get sick of hearing about excuses, but I kick ass. I get really annoyed with stay at homes moms that whine. It's true you can't have it all, but once the kids are in school, you can have a lot more and if you manage your time well, everyone benefits. I've stayed at home, I've worked outside the home. I may make excuses for my blog, but my life rocks and no one suffers for my lack of time management skills. I could go on....and I will some day, but not today.

So yes it's late. I'm writing because I cannot sleep. A good friend is in critical condition in the hospital tonight and I find my thoughts are with him. I'm not sure where to go with this. I just can't sleep and I need someone to know he is in my thoughts and even prayers. I'm not a pray-er by nature and faith has never been my strong suit. This is not about me. But my friend is an atheist. I find myself helpless. Even if I pray, would he appreciate it, does that matter? As a person with little faith, what could my prayers do? As a friend told me, you may not believe in Jesus, but Jesus believes in you. I can appreciate that. This is not about me. This is about my friend. I'll pray that we both find our way, but that you find your way right away friend.
