One thing in may bag, in my fridge and in my heart

1. In my bag- that's kind of a loaded question depending on what female you ask. Once you become a mom there really is no end to the things one might find in a purse and/or diaper bag. I had to think a bit about a "gift" in my bag. There's lots of useful items in my bag. A wallet, glasses, cough drops, a manicure set compliments of my new dentist (if you want a referral let me know and you to can have a new manicure set for your purse). Kleenex- hopefully not used. Not to often to you actually see cash in my bag but on a good day there may be a couple of quarters. Really it's all a gift. I am blessed to have a wallet with access to money for needs and/or wants. I got to go to the dentist and have my teeth cleaned and taken care of in order to get that manicure set. Having cough drops and Kleenex where and when I need it is something I don't even have to think about. All my basics needs and them some are met and most of it fits in a little black 31 bag that I carry around with me. Did I mention I even carry a CPR barrier in there- I have for years. I figure I'm lucky enough to have regular training in first aid and CPR I might as well be prepared if ever I am in a situation where I can help someone.
Indeed the inside of my bag is a treasure of gifts.

2 My fridge- easy peezy. In my fridge is leftover twice baked potatoes. I normally make them every Christmas and today I came home with a migraine, slept for a bit and woke up and wanted some yummy comfort food. I was only able to eat one as my tummy wasn't quite up for more but it was delicious and I have leftovers.

3. My heart- the gift of my children and grandson. There are embedded in my heart- always have been always will be.

Heaven

Image
The clouds tonight were fantastic. When I look at clouds I can’t help but imagine how soft and fluffy they are. I can almost picture myself bouncing off of them fearlessly. I said to Rick tonight that I imagine in heaven I will get to do that- I will have no fear like I do here on earth of hurting myself or my bladder giving out- (just keeping it real!) For me growing up not knowing Jesus- barely even knowing of Him, Heaven was really an unknown. I have a really vivid memory of when I was younger. I remember the house we lived in so I suppose I was around 9 and I knew my Grandma lived in heaven. She passed away when I was just 6 of cancer. Because I didn’t really understand death I didn’t get why she just couldn’t come back. Someone must of told me heaven was in the sky because when I yelled and I mean I. Yelled . up to heaven I begged Grandma to come back. I was home alone in my living room and  I distinctly remember telling her that if she really loved me she’d come back.

Uno!

I am so thankful for my two little guys... (which they are not so little anymore) They are both so fun, so smart and so DIFFERENT... right down to the way they look. I found this video of them and they had just turned 4 and 5. Eric was starting Kindergarten and Sam preschool. They were playing UNO with Rick and I don't think I had ever seen this video before. It is an absolute PERFECT picture of the two of them. Take note that Sam never stops moving and Eric is just as mellow as can be. That is still true of them. Also notice the YELLOW KNEE HIGHS they are both wearing (not sure if you can see Eric's)- yep those yellow Mickey Mouse knee highs were the favorite ALL summer that year- Sam more so then Eric, I have TONS of pictures of Sam with shorts on and those silly knee highs! I sure love them. (the boys well and the knee highs too)

Glasses

Just some background... When Sam was about 6 months old we had him seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for a blocked tear duck on his right side. While examining him the Doctor found his vision was more far-sighted in his right eye than his left. Now all babies are far-sighted to some degree, this is often even on both sides and will resolve itself in the first year to year and a half of life. At one year Sam had surgery to probe his tear duct and again his eye exam showed improvement in his left eye but not his right. At 18 months he got his first pair of glasses. We were also supposed to patch his good eye to force his weaker eye to work harder. Well after many, many attempts this has not happened. So here we are now. As of his last appointment ( Thursday the 2ND ) his sight in his right eye has worsened even more. His new glasses came in on Wednesday and so the battle begins ( again )! First battle, trying to convince Sam he should wear his glasses. I let him pick out new frames,
