Strange Dream

 Do you ever have a dream, and although its something in your right mind you KNOW would never happen... You wake up and wonder a while, if it really did? I had one of those dreams the other night. Strange how some dreams out of your reach to remember, and some stay in your mind long after your awake.

 In my dream, I was at work, it was Friday night, and Tim was off (all this is in real life as well last Friday) So Promise gets home from her volley ball practice and she's complaining of a knee injury. Coach said she should probably see a doctor. So Tim calls me at work, and I tell him I am working there for I cannot do much about it. He offers to take her in instead, and I agree if its bothering her badly that would be best.

 I come home after work, and ask Tim what was the deal with Promise's knee. "oh they amputated." He tells me. They WHAHHHHH???? They don't just AMPUTATE when one complains ONE DAY about a sore knee!!! What the hell are you talking about? I go into Promise's room and there she is, standing one legged, other legged amputated JUST BELOW the knee, strangely enough... She is FINE with the fact.

 Apparently they amputated right there in the doctors office, after her complaint and all is better now. I flip out asking her how she will walk, and she walks at me matter of factly on stump and foot wobbling oddly... Proving to me this is NOT a big deal.

 I am so upset I call my mother, and we cry together about the crappy choice this doctor made, her volley ball "carreer" being over, and my mom tells me to sue. I pick up a book titled "How to care for your amputation" by whatever the doctors name was, and the last thing I remember is making calls to sue, and hopefully get Promise a prosthetic leg so she does not have to wobble on her stump anymore.

 I wake up telling myself, oh wow what a dream, then I realize.... Yesterday was Friday, I was at work, Tim was home and Promise did have Volley ball... I walk into her room as she stands there, thankfully on both FULL legs doing her hair. I tell her about my dream and of course this leads her to believe I am even more crazy than she originally thought I might be!

 I told Promise I was going to nick name her "Stumpy" She was not amused.

 I am so in shcok at the situation

Ahh a fresh new week.

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world!  Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind.  Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea.  So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin . I guess I should be happy, that at least ...

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

Time Flies

A year ago today my best friend gave birth to her second little boy. TWO years ago tomorrow my first granddaughter was born. Both seem like yesterday, but also so long ago. Two years in a row almost on the same day I got to watch the miracle of life happen... I have done it myself four times, but it never ceases to amaze me. To watch it is just amazing that our body does that. GROWS someone in side of us and then gets that someone OUT. Just amazing. Life is stressing me out right now however, I am trying to take this weekend to just tune out anything and everything that is getting to me, just have fun, go to birthday parties, eat cake and not worrry. Not worry about bills or calories or my steps (I even took my fit bit off) Just be me, just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. My amazing friends, and my crazy family and the hot summer weather.
