Well. Corneal Abrasions....doctor confirmed. They didn't find anything in his eye so whatever scratched it up is either hiding really well or did it's damage and ran out. He's got his own little pirate patch, some antibiotics and a follow up appointment tomorrow.
I talked to him on the phone and he said, "mama, it's not all better yet".
No. Nothing is better until mommy's there to comfort it.
He should be feeling much better by tomorrow with the ointment they use. I can start to relax a little.
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don't give up. Anne Lamott

THE MOMMY in ME
My youngest... little Oowie, is at the eye doctor right now. And it's killing me to be here at work. He got something in his eye yesterday, he thinks it's an eyelash but whatever it is it doesn't want to come out and it's irritating his little eye just terrible. Corneal Abrasions, I'm sure.
I just called to get the scoop only to hear their at the doctors. Thank GOD I'm no longer lactating because I'd have a mess everywhere with my amount of worry. LOL.
I know he'll be just fine and there's nothing to worry about. Actually I am happy for him that he won't have to wear his sister's sparkling bright pink sleeping cap anymore.
BUT-STILL......I can picture his big boy self trying to be brave and being completely terrified as the doctor comes toward his little eye.
Poor Fella... :-(
I can't WAIT to hug him.

Pieces of Heaven
I'm NOT a pink person. Yes, I do wear pink from time to time but I'm really not a pink person. I'm a earthy tones kinda girl. But, in lo of SPRING and the upcoming Easter holiday I thought I'd change the blog scene to something a little brighter. (Trying not to look outside at the accumulating SNOW...seriously what the heck?) Actually what caught my eye was the title of the background- Pieces of Heaven. I like that. I NEED pieces of Heaven. Plus, I somehow accidently managed to delete my old blog background.
Well on the note of HEAVEN. I thought I'd share a little something I have printed and posted on my desk at work. Some inspiration. (Among many other quotes)
Open My Eyes, That I May See
by Clara H. Scott
Open my eyes, that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.
Slilently now I wait for Thee,
Ready my God, Thy will to see,
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!
Open my ears, that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.
Open my mouth, and let me bear,
Gladly the warm truth everywhere;
Open my heart nad let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.
Have you ever had those days where you feel like nothing you do is right? You misinterrpret EVERYthing, You feel like EVERY thing do and say is all WRONG? Yeah. Me too. And that's when I just recite these simple words to myself. If HE is my eyes, my ears, and the words I speak are only those HE would have me speak.........something would have to come out right!
But the key is to TRUST.

Twice... in the same day
Okay, this is rare. Very rare. Me blogging a second time in the same day!
After all that complaining about my computer I had to share....my friends advice helped. It's still not up to speed but at least I can get to a web site now. I even uploaded my pages to 52Sketches. YEAH!!!
Now I'm off to scrappin' with my little sis.
I plan to sleep in in the morning and then go for a killer run.
After that I have plans to ice skate and golf. Yes. ICE SKATE and/or GOLF. I'm sure I will have much to share after those events. Including broken bones!!!

Been Awile
There has been much to chat about but not much I'd share on my blog.
I have had a few really good runs since my last update. An awesome 8mile run @ a 9:22 pace which I felt SOOO good about until I heard a friend rattle off his incredable 12mi @ a 9:30 pace (I think it was) ......... either way it put my run to shame. My sister is up to an AWESOME 4miles. I am so proud of her and can't wait to push her around the track again. I ran that one with her and tried to run hard/sprint the last mile. I have no clue what our time or pace was.
As noted in my last blog. I still can't upload any pictures or pages from my scrapbooking weekend. I can't do anything on that darn computer. I've been told it needs to be wiped out, which makes me nervous but I'm at the end of my rope with that thing so I'm willing. A friend talked me through a few things last night that I can do. I'm going to give that a try tonight to see if he's right. It's worth a try unless I lose it and end up throwing it through a window.
I celebrated two of my babies birthdays yesterday. My little girl is 6 and my oldest boy turned 8. (Again many pictures to share but none of which I can upload. Okay-so it's obvious how irritated I am with that). We had so much fun. My daughter got a Bratz doll Runway with a makeup/dressing room/and snack bar. We lit that thing up and put on a show. My son wanted... "Backugon" balls? I found em. And he loves them. I'm not too sure about them. Basically they are these balls the size of a bouncy ball and you roll them over these magnetic cards and they pop open to reveal a little character of some sort. The game was as confusing as ever but like I said, he loves em.
My youngest is SICK :-( Very sick. He has Asthmatic Bronchitis which he manages to get at least once a year. We have snuggled up the last few nights and it kills me to be at work right now. He had what I thought was an allergic reaction to his medication yesterday... his drug allergies are a mile long.....so I spoke to the doctor this morning. The doctor is hoping it was a reaction to his infection and not his medication so told me to have his dad give it to him again. Now his dad is out in the boondocks 90% of the time with no vehical and my son's rash/reaction was on his FACE. So I am more than a little freaked out right now. I'm thinking of the possibilites of his throat closing...... eeehhhh. I hate being at work. I'm a mess. Biting my cheeks like an animal (as if that's going to help).

Computers....uugggghhh ugghhh
So my weekend was good, other than the fact that I missed my kids like CRAZY. But, I met many new people, laughed with family and friends.
AND
got 20 New Scrapbook pages done!!!!
The highlight of my weekend was coming home and trying to share them with the blogging community and my friends over @ 52sketches.
I got on my computer last night and seriously...SERIOUSLY it took 40minutes just to bring up the website and log in. I tried, STILL to upload but it FROZE during the upload process, locked up and shut down. I used to love that machine. NOW. I think I might hate it. YUP. I hate it.
So obviously that wasn't my highlight. Of course it would have to be seeing my beautiful children and their smiling faces. That always makes everything better.

Back in RUNNING Mode
I am SO excited.
Friday after work I ran with my sisters...just a few steps to get the heart pumping (less than a mile) then we did our usual 20minute workout.
Sunday morning I joined a few people (one of which I am extrememly fond of) for a long distance run. (LOL funny Megan.....yes, I'm laughing at myself). I was told the goal was 9miles. I was thinking since I jumped on that treadmil a few weeks back I might actually be able to hang in there for 6 or so. Yeah... TRY THREE!!! I was so happy when we hit the 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 marker that my running partner was cutting the run short on account of: NO Running shoes (yes, he forgot the most important gear-I think GOD was helping me out and planned that one). I believe our overall pace was about 8:45/mi...I have to check again though. The good thing was that I was running outside on the dirt/pavement, sucking the cold nasty air into my lungs once again....and I loved it. It instantly put me back in RUNNING MODE.
Monday after work I ran 5 miles at a 9 minute pace. I figured I need to keep the mood fresh and if I have another opportunity (hope I do) to run with others I want to be able to keep up. I'm sure no one will be forgetting their shoes a second time! Then it was off to my sisters for our lower body work out...30minutes worth.
