heartwarming

So today at work, it was aroung 4:00 and I was soooo ready to call it quits and go home. Then my 4:00 patient got there. It was a hopital follow up. When we take kids to the hospital to do there dental work, we like to see them back in 3 weeks to see how they are doing post-op. So I go get my little boy and his mom. We sit down and are talking and she starts asking me questions about what we did to her sone. Then she told that she could not remember what we did to him. In fact, she dosen't remember anything from Sept. to December. I was wondering why but I didn't want to ask. So one of my Dr.'s comes over to look at the patient and we get into the story.

So this mom has some type of intestinal disease that is terminal and she is also diabetic. Well, a while ago she had surgery and had to have a feeding tube put in. So she noticed that the area around the feeding tube was looking suspicious and she kept asking the Dr.'s at Duke about it, but they told her it was okay and not to worry about it. One day her son founf her passed out on the floor. Well, her son is autistic and he's got ADHD. He's only like 6 or 7. He goes to the phone, calls 9-1-1. Tells them about his mom, hangs up and then calls her freind to come over.

Long story short, she had gotten Mercer from her feeding tube and her organs started shutting down. She had like 15% chance of surviving. Well, she pulled through it and everything is okay now. If her son had not found her and called 9-1-1 she most definatley died that day. I just think this is such an uplifting story that a child who is only 7 with Autism and ADHD could hold himself together, not freak out, and calmy and rationally go call 9-1-1 for his mother. It really warmed my heart. He's a great kid and I know his mom is proud!

Anyway, I thought it was good story and maybe something that would make you feel good. You get tired of always hearing bad. So everybody have a great day and until next time.............

Bathing suit season

Okay, so I bought my bathing suit for the upcoming honeymoon today. Now my mission has officially started. Most of you know I started working out with Shimmel last year, but lately I have been slack. To be honest I don't want to get burned out before crunch time is even close to getting here. I am good for about 5-6 months and then I get tired of things. So, it's now officially time for me to bust my butt in the gym again until after September. I'm so looking forward to it. I think working out is right up there with getting a root canal. I mean, you pay a membership to go somewhere that you sweat and feel like you are on the verge of death the entire time you are there. What sense does that make??? I don't know. I'm sure a man had something to do with that one. I have been dreading this and putting this off for so long, but I know I need to just give it up, get off the sofa and get my lazy ass back to the gym.
On that note,I have to go change into my spandex and go shake it at the gym. Ya'll think about me and feel bad for me okay?

Feeling better!

Okay, so I have been sick twice in the past two weeks. I thought once was enough but oh no...I have to get it twice. It's like God is punishing me for something. Everyone keeps asking me "well, did you get it from one of the kids at work?" Well, out of 6 other co-workers I am the only one who has been sick. Except for this one girl who is sick 365 days of the year. She is probablly the one I keep getting it from. She will totally blow her nose, throw the tissue away and keep on trucking like nothing happend. Hello people.....what ever happend to washing our hands???? I mean, she puts those germ infested hands in someone's mouth all day for a living. You would think she'd be a little more concious about keeping herself clean.
Sorry, that is my biggest pet peeve. Anyway, so now I am better. Of course I would get better the day AFTER valentine's day!!!! Yesterday all I could manage to do was lay in bed all day and watch 90210 reruns. Don't get wrong, I love me some 90210, but come on. I didn't get to do anything for Valentine's day! Then today, I wake up feeling like I could run the Boston Marathon! Give me a break!
So, today I finally get out of the house! Bart and I met his mom and dad at Whiteoak to watch that movie Gran Turismo. It was pretty good. Clint Eastwood reminded me of my Dad in that movie. Very close minded about young people and how rude they are. It was a great movie with a great message! I'm sure those of you who work with teenagers would love it! So, then we ran to TGI Friday's to get a quick bite and decided to go back to the theater to see the movie Taken. I have never gone to the movies twice in one day, but we figured what the heck...we don't have anything else to do. So we go back in the second time and Bart's mom had saved her cup from the first movie we went in. Well, I took it back up to the counter and asked for a refill. I'm sure it was obvious what I was doing seeing as there was no ice in the cup! Anyway, the girl asked if I wanted more ice and filled it rightup! So there, a tip on how to save money at the theater. Get the large size drink, keep the cp, and fill it up for free everytime you go back. Hey, with the economy like it is, every bit helps. haha. So then we go see the second movie..Taken. Our favorite of the day! It was great and it kept you in the edge of your seat the entire time.
All in all it was a great day. If I had to be sick on Valentine's day, then Bart did a pretty good job of making up for it today!!! Anyway, until next time.......

Stressed out!

Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while. I have been super busy with this Sweetheart banquet thing my church put on! Anyway, I have been so stressed about wedding stuff lately! I am even stressing about people's wedding's that aren't mine! Last night I dreamed about my Best friend's wedding that is a few weeks before mine! I called her the morning of the wedding to find out what time we needed to be ready and at the place she is getting married. She responded" I'm not really sure. Whenever you feel like it." Now that is totally not like my friend! So I was just walking around town with Bart and all of a sudden she calls me and tells me that she dosen't know what time her wedding is so she can't give me an answer. I'm yelling at her to be more responsible and to let me know something. We fight and hang up and I'm crying because my Fiance and I have both just missed her wedding because it took place while we were fighting. When I say crying, I mean bawling my eyes out like a baby!
Are weddings supposed to be like this? I think maybe it is just me. I want everything to be perfect not only for me but my friend too! I know I need to stop worrying about things because whatever is going to happen is going to happen! Every night I feel like I am dreaming something drifferent. Maybe it is a good thing because there is no way my real wedding could have anything happen as bad as the stuff in my dreams. So on the big day when the flowers aren't right or Bart and me flub our lines up, it will seem like not such a big deal!
So, also on my plate right now(like I don't have enough) is the Relay for life. I am on the comitte for the Garner Relay for life. It's a walk that benefits the American Cancer society and it encourages survivors to have Hope! I love this cause and I don't want to give it up, but I think maybe with a wedding I bit off more than I can chew. Kelli and I are in charge of pretty much all the entertainment that happens for two days! So we have been on the phone scheduling DJ's, dancing groups, singers, etc. I know it will all be worth it in the end but right now it's a hassle.
My house is a complete wreck because of all the things I have going on. My Momma would kill me graveyard dead if she saw my Laundry hamper right now. I haven't washed clothes, like really washed clothes in about 2 months. In fact, I HAVE to do it tonight becasue if I don't I am not going to have ANY underwear for tomorrow. THat's right. I had to sport the grannies today because that is all I had clean. I know...I'm so ashamed! I can't even sleep at night because I feel so bad about it. And then when I do finally get to sleep, I wake up because of some stupid wedding dream! HaHa! COuld it get any worse. J/K Anyway, I'm going to go tackle that laundry and make my momma (and my hamper) Proud!
