I Knew I Shouldn't Have Got Out Of Bed Today

Fozzy I am single and alone, except for my kids. Single mother. I watched a movie with my oldest son after he got home from work at 9 pm. He wasn't too pleased when work called and they needed him in early because the guy that was supposed to start this morning called in sick. He looked tired. He was falling asleep before the movie was over last night and needed more sleep than he got. I am going grocery shopping today, WOO HOO, that is my special day out because I have no other money to do anything else. Oh well, that's life. I just won't expect nothing next year from anyone and I won't be so upset.

Hey, take heart. Whenever I start to feel bad about a rotten day or situation I always think of my sis. She has a 4 1/2 year old boy who was born with a gajillion health problems. The doctors are always saying he's on the verge of death, he has 4 different kind of seizures, his lungs are weak, his immune system is compromised, and he has brittle bone disease. He's on a dozen kinds of meds, he's often on oxygen, is supported by a feeding pump and has to be suctioned all the time because he can't swallow at all and the spit builds up in his mouth which, if he aspirates it, can cause pneumonia very easily. It seems like every time a special event or holiday comes round he ends up in the hospital and we never know if he'll make it out again. Four nights a week she gets a nurse to come to her house which is good because the rest of the time either her or her hubby have to sit up with him and listen to make sure he isn't choking to death or having a seizure. Not to mention the fact that her insurance company just notified her that in 4 1/2 years they have spent over $825,000 on him and have a lifetime cap of $1,000,000. After they've spent that much she has no idea what they will do with his medical bills.

So, if you can go to bed at night and not worry that your son will die if you fall asleep too hard than consider yourself blessed. It doesn't take much to have a happy life, my sis is one of the happiest people I know, and it has little do to with what you have without and everything to do with what you have within. So tell yourself that tomorrow is actually your birthday, take a little time for yourself and have a bubble bath or a cup of tea and a good book (one of my personal favs) or whatever will give you a little lift and enjoy.

Happy birthday!
