My LIFE SAVER

I am so grateful for my son(12yrs old). He literally saved my life on July 23, 2012. 

 I had no idea what was going on with me. It was a regular Monday morning, so, I thought.  I tried to stand up to  prepare myself for work, but that day I felt a little dizzy. I thought, maybe I needed something to eat. i continued to try to get up, but my legs felt like noodles. I couldn't stand!  I flung myself out of my bed and tried to get closer to my son's room.  I remember trying to crawl, but i couldn't. I remember flinging myself and rolling to get closer to him. I yelled out to him, while I was still flinging myself on the floor, so much so  just before I flunged myself down the stairs my son came and asked me if I was OK. I think, I said "yes".My son kept saying "Mom, you don't look right." and "Mom, you don't sound right either.  I remember thinking, "I fell down the freaking steps how does one should look". I remember telling him I was OK. But then he asked me to say "buttercup" like 5 times. He said, I couldn't do it and that, "I didn't sound right".  He said, he was going to call 911. I told him "no!" I remember him putting the phone to my ear and my mother was on the line asking me what was going on because my son called her and said, "my mom, doesn't look or sound right and she won't let me call 911" my mom asked me to say a word and I guess I couldn't and the next thing I know the paramedics was at my door and I was in the hospital.  I didn't get out of the hospital until Aug. 28th.  So, for those who wondered that's where I've been.  I've been at my parent's house since then recovering and going to out patient therapy. That's the short story.

Take Care of yourself. Eat healthy and believe me STRESS kills!

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 5

So, I told yall I've been in a funk.  Well, I am attempting to shake it off.

An old friend contacted me through Facebook, which put a smile on my face.  Funny thing is while he was looking me up, I was looking up someone else.  I discovered, the person I was searching for is married now and has what looked to be a two to three year old and his wife is currently expecting.  Yeah, didn't even send a friend request. (I just really wanted to possibly have lunch and catch up with him, but again I see he is doing just fine).

I am happy that he is happy because at the time when we started dating he had just got a divorce and he wasn't handling it well.  He loved his first wife, but she cheated on him and he was willing to try to make it work, but she wanted out.  At the time, I too, was just out of a relationship and basically what I now know was the crutch me consoling someone whose wife left him as well (nothing but drama).  So, I sorta jetted (well, I told him that he needed time to himself to let go of his ex-wife before attempting to move on to another relationship) as this was deja vu .  It was just too many, "my wife use to wear her hair like you" for me.  So, again, I am happy for him.  He and his current wife, from the pictures, seem to be happy.

The friend that looked me up...well, he says I'm the one that got away.  He's in a funk too...lol.  In my mind, funk + funk = stinks.  He currently is going through something with his wife...errupt, that's all I needed to hear.  I'm moving forward, not backwards.

Today, I am thankful for Old Friends, Life Lessons and Common Sense.

Kiss your hubby, your wifey and tell them you love them ;-)

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 4

In a "funk" is what I am.  I've been this way for about two or three days.  TODAY, I decided, I'm going to shake it off.  I don't like feeling this way.  After reading some scriptures, famous quotes and the local and national news headlines, I am thankful!

Today, I am thankful for my SPIRITUALITY and knowing no matter what,  I am truly blessed.(It's got to rain sometimes, right?)  My sunshine will shine brightly once again!



Do a good deed for a stranger today? 

Hug your child[ren] and tell them how proud you are of them. 

Kiss your spouse/significant other and when they ask, "What was that for?"  Tell them, "Just because...". (give them a wink too ;-)

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 2

I am most thankful and grateful for my PARENTS.

My parents have helped me alot with my son, I could NEVER repay them.  When I had to go on travel for my job, they took care of my son for the week.  That's just one example.  There are so many more examples.  They are truly a blessing.

What are you thankful for today?
