It’s Thursday

November 8, 2007

We have cheer practice, basketball practice, and two school conferences.

That is how I view my day, and it makes me sad. Why can’t I wake up and say, I don’t even know what I ‘d say. I guess it is more or less  why can’t I wake up and look at the day like: Here is what I am going to be today, not here’s what I have to do.

I need to make a more conscious effort to look at life in a more proactive way, as opposed to reactive. I don’t drive defensively, I take the lead. So why am I living my life that way?

A very wise old man once told me he starts each day off with tremendous. It makes sense you know. Start your day feeling, and knowing and being, and maybe we’ll find ourselves pleasing at the end of the day.

Micah: Mom, what do you call ducks playing a game?

Me: I don’t know, what?

Micah: Quacker Jacks!

Me: Where did you hear that?

Micah: On “Wow, Wow, Wubsey”. SEE, I told you Mom, T.V. is good for you. It makes you laugh, and laughing is good for you!

This could be HUGE

Just heard from the University of Iowa Hospital, my blood work came back…… and now they don’t think I have Lupus. It really is so confusing, but here is what they said: the NEW bloodwork shows a NEGATIVE ANA. And, it shows positive for a recent infection with the parvovirus B 19 (aka Fifth’s Disease). This disease can mirror the effects of Lupus in adults. My rheumatologist said she is not completely certain that I do not have Lupus, and wants me to stay on the meds. until our next visit in January…. BUT she did say that she doesn’t think it is Lupus anymore. This really could be huge. (I could go back to no sunscreen :) )

Micah: Mom, do you know what hava-lala means?

Me: No.

Micah: It is Spanish for good morning in Afican if you are in China.

Me: WHAT?

Micah: Never mind, you don’t understand.

I head back to Jordan Creek Mall for a 1pm pick up time. That should bring me home just in time to prepare my dishes for small group…. hopefully, otherwise pears and potatoes might turn into pizza.
