~Life lessons~

I love the saying on this graphic! :o) It's so very true! I am thankful! :o) I have so much to be thankful for! :o) And, I thank God everyday for my blessings! :o) I have many of them! :o) And none of them are monitary either! :o) I don't ask, unless need be, which is rare. :o)
When you can live week to week or month to month to get your check, and learn how to budget your money to make it last, and actaully work hard 5-6 days a week for that check, you come to appreciate things in your life, and see things in your life in such a more appreciative way! :o) And a more thankful way! :o) You work hard for what you want and for what you need. It's just a life lesson! :o) It's impossible to live like a "soap opra" kind of life. Although I've seen it tried. We brought our kids up to know that if they want something then they work for it! Now that they're grown, they both now know how to save money, and budget. :o) Nothing is given to them. Another life lesson for them. :o) They are both hard workers, because thats what they both seen while growing up, two hard working parents! And, you can't just go shopping anytime you just feel like it! Although it would be nice. :o) Who does that? As parents, you have to set a good example for your kids for their future, not just hand over to them what ever they want. Having a grandchild....I wish I could! :o) But he has pigy banks that we put money in for him. :o) Which will go into a bank, like I had my kids do.

I don't know what got me on that subject! Sorry for just rambling! LOL :o) Maybe I had a weird dream or something like that! :o) Oh well! :o)
Well, I've been taking that medicine for the Thrush. It burns my mouth. But, that tells me that it's working. :o) Tastes nasty too! :o) I really feel so badly for all of the babies and little ones that get this! Bless their hearts! I can see what they go through! They are in a lot of pain!
I have an appointment today to get the results from my sleep test! Yay! I didn't have to wait too long! :o) Thats good! :o) Oh no...I wonder if I should call and reschedule because of the Thrush? I do not want to spread this. I don't even know how long it will take to get rid of this. I think I will. And maybe he can just tell me over the phone. I had to cancell my physical therapist and home health aid for this whole week as well.
Instead of a shower yesterday...which I would much rather take baths....(I do have a shower chair) I did it, I was able to get in the tub! Yesss! And Yes, I thought of you (S)! :o) I didn't forget! :o) It felt great to just sit and soak! I had a few errands that needed to be done, and my duaghter had done them for me while I was relaxing as best as I could in the tub! :o) I am just so thankful to have the kids I have! My son....he's 24, and it doesn't matter where or who is around and how far away from me he is...and he'll still say or yell, "I love you moma!" :o) He told me that he don't care what his friends think, because he loves his mom?! :o) I remember one time, he was about 15, and I dropped him off at the mall so he could hang with his friends. I was at one end of the mall and he and his friends were at the other, my son is tall, I'm not..lol...he seen me, and he yelled to me as he was waving, "I LOVE YOU MOMA!!" :o) And he still does it! :o) My daughter would still hold my hand when we would go places! :o) Again, me being short, my kids tall...we would go to the mall and she would still hold my hand, even at the age of 14-15! :o) My son has always called me moma, and she has always called me mommy! :o) And they still so! :o) Ok,,getting to sentimental! LOL
And now...my grandson! :o) The feeling of being a grandma is the best! :o) It's like an exstention of your own child! lol :o)
In my life...I've had so many people come in my life for a reason, and I've had so many things happen to me for a reason, and I know that all of them were life lessons for me. :o) To see what choice I'd make. And I think that I've made some pretty good ones! :o) Of course, I'm not at all perfect, and never claim to be! :o) I have the guidance of Gods hand! :o)
Thank all of you for all of the supportive eamils and helpfull suggestions! I really appreciated them! God does bless all of us! :o)
