Stupidity

Last week I felt I was getting a urinary tract infection, I haven't had one of those in years. Actually I can't remember when the last time I've had one.
Anyway, I was feeling very cold at home thinking it was just because it was cold outside, so I got under the electric blanket and felt better. In hind sight, I had an extremely high fever and was chilling. Not wanting to pay the high copay if I went to the ER, I waited until Tuesday since it was a 3 day weekend, to be seen and get the necessary antibiotics to start taking. Allowing the infection more time to fester and get truly out of hand was horrible and I got extremely sick. I am much better now but man did it knock me for a loop. While I'm feeling better, I'm still feeling very drained and just tired. Next time if I feel I'm coming down with something, I'll bite the bullet and pay the higher copay and go into the ER.

A friend sent me this photo and I really like it so here it is; Today I'm cleaning my fish tank. I also have to get more food, they are ravenous! I'm getting more rocks and plants to change it up a bit.
I have the most interesting fish, it hurt me losing a few fish with the recent power outage we had recently. But it's probably a good thing with how fast they have been growing.

Mother's Day

What a wonderful Mother's Day I had, it's been a fabulous week. Not to sound too sappy here but it still is responsible for my great mood that I'm in ;)

I don't know where quite to start, so I'll start somewhere in the middle just to be different.

My son called me from wherever he was to wish me a Happy Birthday and Happy Mother's Day. I was in heaven for those precious few minutes. I know how hard it is for him to make time with his military work/commitments so this meant the world to me.

My daughter also called me and we will get together in a few weeks to get facials and pedicures together, what fun that will be. My birthday was wonderful as I described earlier.

At work I had these beautiful flowers delivered to me from my kids and everyone at work got to enjoy them with me. They all told me what great kids I had and of course that just made me beam with more pride, as I do have the greatest kids. I had to laugh as they know where I've been living lately, and it's been at work ha ha to have the flowers delivered at work. I moved the flowers around to different places at work to enjoy them throughout the day and now I've brought them home to enjoy.

Just being remembered in such a wonderful way is just the best, and I thank you all for it. A very humbling experience.

Rereading this I noticed that I keep referring to my kids as "kids". I must say they are wonderful young adults in their own right these days. So I shouldn't refer to them as kids. I do believe they will each change the world for the better in their own special way. Actually I feel as if they already have in some ways ;)

Birthday Surprise!

Today has been my birthday, one in which many friends and family remembered me and called, emailed and invited me for a birthday dinner along with cake and ice cream.
I am still whelmed. First to be remembered, as when a person gets older, celebrations seem to fade and dates are forgotten usually. So being remembered with a phone call was wonderful, but then to be given presents along with cake and ice cream was really great.
I have the best family and friends, thank you.
