{2 | health update}
Holy Moses....I have had so many sweet bloggy friends emailing/tweeting about my heart, ankle, etc. {you'd think I was 95 yrs old w/all my ailments!} Cliff notes version: Ever since my last visit to the cardiologist when I found out I was dying thanks to 2 nurses who can't read test results , what I will call my panic attacks have been few & far between. Although I have been experiencing several over the past 48 hrs. Weird. The ankle: ha....last Monday I said I was going to try to run. Not too soon after I published that post, it hurt to walk! My hip was giving me issues. {also another reason I stopped running a few years ago} Never made it outside. THEN on Tuesday, I went to sit on my little step stool thanks to OCD I HAD to organize every single cabinet/drawer in my kitchen and when I did, I went right over the back. Some how that ankle got caught in the legs of my step-stool on my way down. {and elbow-on the tile floor}Seriously I have no idea how it happened. So, today, 7 days later, the top of my foot is a little greenish. Pain. Balls. There goes my running. I have officially dropped out of the NOLA Rock n' Roll Marathon. :( I am waiting on the Dr office to open so I can go in. I am going to try to see if I can get an MRI of my hip and anything else they will scan!! I am sick of hurting. If I can't run again, someone needs to tell me and I will just become a huge couch potato move on to something else.
Mini-Me has a tennis lesson today. I wanted to go outside & hit w/her before it started but it doesn't look like that'll be happening. I mean seriously, a sprain??!! It was swollen last night when I got in from an epic shopping trip. I need to count up the weeks, this is getting ridiculous.

I am usually not like this. I am so OC about things being done perfectly and on time. Well, thanks to leaving for Houston for almost a week after Thanksgiving> being sick for 2 weeks prior to returning> kids going in 2 directions> hubby taking a quick trip to Miami>then 5 days in Guatemala fishing> guess who didn't get "the prefect Christmas Card picture? Yea... yours truely! I had this great plan.......the prefect place..... I had it all BUT THE FAMILY!
Thanks to
Trolly Cards, a few lucky individuals will be receiving a ca-ute card in the mail. You go in, pick our your card, personalize it & they mail it!
The End! No family picture, but it sure is cute! Look at the precious wax seal!!

Or should I say my last piece of hair??
I have stocking stuffers to buy {will go with gas cards/Subway/Chic Fil A/Starbucks GC's}
I need to go to HELL Wal-Mart & grab some beer mugs {if you want a GOOD beer mug, get them at WM, they are awesome!}
And I need to order the Mr's on the verge of ugly, metro-sexual UGGs that he just discovered last night.
DONE.
Thank You Jesus & not a moment too soon!
{5 | being thankful}
Ya know, as hard as I have tried to keep the focus of this season on Jesus, it's very hard not to get caught up in the shopping...gotta get this, that, this & that.....spending lots of money, always needing to get ONE MORE THING..you know, right??
Well, my husband just returned home from Guatemala from fishing. As we were looking through his pictures, we came across this.
This is our friend Todd. The little boy is his boat captains son.
This is Little Brian.
How precious is he?
I want him!
He wanted a football helmet.
A football helmet.
That's all.
This helmet flew from Alabama to Guatemala.
Priceless.
Is just goes to show, it doesn't have to be in a Tiffany's box or from SAKS.
We {we in general, like ME} need to slow down & really see what is important in life.
It's not how much you spend or how much something costs that puts the price tag on things.
May I tell you how I wept?
THEN I was looking at a relatives facebook. They volunteer to help the needy. This is an image that I came across....I sat in the carpool line bawling. My heart breaks to think of the children whom will wake up nothing from Santa.
NOTHING.
heart breaking.
{look at this childs shoes}
May we all say an extra prayer for these families. I pray that God would help provide for these moms and dads stressing out trying to get food/gifts. I know there are so many people in our community hurting and it breaks my heart. On the news they said there were over 200 children on the angel tree who has of yet, have not been adopted.
ugh
lump in throat.
