"There's NO place like home, There's NO place like home."
echoing off the walls of my hospital room as I pointlessly click my bare feet together...
I might have thrown myself a 10 minute pity-party today.
Then I brushed myself off, wiped my tear away and in my head heard my dad saying:
"tuffin' up buttercup'.
I am definitely a product of the 'want it now' generation and after a rough two days I was half pleading, half-bargaining for some peace of mind with Heavenly Father.
I even caught myself saying during one of my many prayers:
"Can you just show me a sign so I can trust".
Hmm. That is a little bit backwards there cowboy.
Show me a sign and then I'll trust you.
It should have been, 'I will trust you and know that the witness will come after the trial of my faith.'
yes, that is how it goes.
So I got bucked off my horse. Big deal. I'm back in the saddle again.
and I'm still grateful for the ride.
it's time for me to go 'wrangle up some grub' (i.e. milkshake time--I've been slacking in the calorie consumption department--not good, weigh in is tomorrow morning.)
wish me luck. I won't tell you the number I'm trying to break. it is sad. darn these chicken legs!

I wish my problem right now was not being able to gain weight. :) Getting bucked off the horse is no fun, but those lessons we learn while on the ground are usually the most valuable. At least they have been in my life. Happy mail will soon be delivered to your hospital room, just a heads up. Hopefully that will give you something to look forward to! We love you!!
I, too, wish I still had chicken legs and that I was having trouble gaining weight! I think I've gained enough for the both of us.
And I can't imagine going through a trial like this and not feeling like you got bucked off through part of it. Good luck at the weigh in tomorrow! I get to look forward to the GROSS glucose test next week :(
I hope that the next couple of days can make up for the tough couple of ones you've had. I hope your weigh in goes good and that you keep drinking those milkshakes! And I think your allowed to throw a 10 min pitty party every day! Mine would atleast be a 20 min party!
