Reposted in honor of Rachel

I love all my sister’s friends. Since we married, moved out and moved on. Amy and my lives have went in separate ways. Even through the distance I have somehow been connected to her friends. I remember when she started attending Evangel one of her new friends got my number off her fridge and started calling me for advice on boys. I don’t recall who she was now but I remember our only connection was Amy. I’m not sure if we ever even met in person.

Today, I can count a number of friends I’ve met only once or twice but could sit down and have conversation with as if we’d know each other for years. When I went to visit Amy last year I ran into quite a few of these ladies. Most I didn’t recognize at first as I’d never seen their faces or heard their voices, it seems strange to know someone with out really knowing them. Odd, isn’t it? Maybe not, these ladies are souls who touch my twin sister’s heart, a heart I’ve known from the beginning of mine own. It only makes since we’d be connected. I appreciate each one, I pray for them daily and I am blessed to have such lovely women caring for my Amy. To all my sister’s friends; I love you and thank you.

Hey Mom, I forgot to tell you that you need to bring the stuff for our class party tomorrow. Oh, and you’re the only mom who’s bringing stuff. Oh, and you need to get there early to set up. Oh, and bring goodie bags too. . .

Grrrrr
Would have been good to know this a little bit sooner. Maybe before I went to Amarillo yesterday or perhaps before I drove to Dumas this morning. Sometime before Joshua threw up on me in Wal*Mart would have been ideal.

Whats worse than being vomited on by your 5yr old in the produce aisle?
The produce being vomited on as well.
What does one do?
Do you buy 10 lbs of pomegranates?
What do you do? What would you do?

The fabulous happenings of today reminded me of previous puky posts. Remember the fun had back in November 05′ I’ll never forget…

Mommy doesn’t feel good

Volumes of Vomit

Clean up on Aisle 6

Be Prepared: Charleigh took along lots of books, colors and fun things to do while she waited.

A bit nervous before the first blood draw

It wasn’t so bad. Now we wait an hour to drink the sweet stuff…

30 minutes after finishing the drink we get ready for another run

A waiting we will go. . .another 30 minutes

Another hour another needle. What a brave girl!

An hour later we did one last needle then said good bye to our new friends Charles and Charity.

Charleigh wants to write a bit about her glucose/ insulin tolerance test later. We’ll put her thoughts right here when she gets them ready.
