Visit Keely at The UnMom for other people's Random Tuesday thoughts, theirs are more entertaining anyway!!
- We have a group of kids that come over almost nightly, about 4-6 kids most of the time, and last night they were in our back yard playing in our small inflatable pool (not huge at all) and one of them was stung by a bee. YIKES I was scared for her!! She handled it well, and after a cold pack, some benadryl and some lovin by her big sister - she was back over here in 1 hour!! Little J decided to role play the incident over and over, he had it down to the moment the bee stung her. Kids absorb SO much we show them.
- Last night my best friend was taken to the hospital, for some fairly serious symptoms. I, along with her husband, am concerned this may be a neurological concern. For all of you that pray - please toss up a few prayers for my BFF. She's the best friend I've written about before who's husband has been diagnosed as a carrier for Huntington's Disease. The last txt msg I received was that she'll be transferred to another hospital in the morning. I'm being patient and waiting to hear more. It's hard that she's in CA and I'm in NC. I want to jump on a plane to see her, and may end up doing that if things aren't good.
- My kids are my sanity these days. I'm thankful that they remind me of innocence and simplicity, and a life less complicated. I think that we lose too much of that as we grow older, and life happens.
- On a lighter note, since the hubs has been laid off we've been doing alot more together as a family. He's decided that every slow or crazy driver on the planet somehow manages to find their way in front of my car at ALL times.
- My mom celebrated her 63rd birthday Sunday, we enjoyed a nice lunch with her and lots of deep conversation. I've decided that she is the wisest woman I know, and she made me get re-grounded about what's important in life with just a few simple words. Somehow my husband managed to weasel a pound cake out of my mom on HER birthday... she baked for HIM on HER birthday??? Crazy.
- My grass needs to be cut.
- My kids need haircuts.
- I'm sitting here typing this completely zoned out - and thinking about my friend over and over. I want to be closer so I can just be there for her and her family. They have no one in CA except her husbands father to help them in this type of situation... argh!! I wish I could go-go-gadget and get there.
- I planted flowers 2 weeks ago, and they're not dead yet. Must be superpower flowers, because I'm no green thumb!
- The balloon we bought on July 4 is still just as full of helium as it was the day we got it.
- Just got more info by text... please just pray for my friends well being.

Saying prayers for you friend, her family, and you. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be across the country from her. Please keep us updated, and I'll continue to pray.
Sending prayers up for your friend right now. I'm sure it's hard to be so far away. Hope all works out for her.
Happy RTT to you!
Must be difficult when you are so far away. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
So sorry to hear about your friend. I hope she is ok.
Sending good thoughts your friends way, and your way, too. There isn't much you could do if you were there, aside from bolster her husband. Sounds like she's getting some decent medical attention, though.
I say break out the weed wacker and take care of the lawn and the kids hair at the same time!
Keep your chin up, things will get better for your friend.
I'll send up a prayer for your friend.
And thanks for the reminder that my kids need haircuts too.
Great post :)
I'm going to have to tell you about a go go gadget I thought up that is totally inappropriate for me to post on a family blog :)
Helium balloons are a little creepy.
I don't pray but I'll be thinking of you and your friend.
prayers!!!
