While is it not techinically Friday due to the late hour, I was sadly disappointed throughout the day. There are a handful of insigificant let downs but here are the highlights;
- One of my friends and his wife lost their 6 month old baby very unexpectedly. The viewing is down town Sunday. No idea what to do or say.
- My pal Michelle's MS is back in full force and no doubt she is feeling weak, overwhelmed and angry. It's been aggressive and pushed the limits of her physical body many times.
- I spent the evening in the ER with poor Shell. Her kidneys have been testing her mortality since April and there doesn't appear to be any sign of letting up.
- The doc called and Ellie's bloodwork surprisingly came back to indicate that she has Celiac's disease, which runs in my family. She has a less than exciting GI appt in her near future.
- My work trip to Cali in Sept was pushed back to October, which had best not screw up my plans, kids schedules, etc.
To counter my craptastic list I am forcing myself to write an equal list of positive things.
- The kids transistioned very nicely back to their Dad and Mommy Amy. The new schedule appears to be a success.
- Dayton's VIP presentation today was fabulous and flawless. He is so grown up and damn cute!
- Ellie didn't have any issues at school today and that always makes the world a better place.
- The garbage man came...our can was full of 2 weeks worth of overflowing stinky crud.
- The cat has not messed in the house and it's been a month. Go Mighty Mittens! (her alter ego is Kiki just in case you were confused)
On the B Side: There is always plenty to be thankful for and you never have to look very far in order to see just how blessed you are. Some times I just don't want to look. Some times I just want to rest my mind and feel whatever I'm feeling and not feel guilty. I'm not going to lie though, after my work day was done, I went for some non-english speaking loving and got a pedi!!!
