Well I have always been a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason" and today once again it was proven to me. I was picking Jimmy up from the bus stop and he had just gotten in the car, instead of turning around and going back to the guard gate, I was going to leave so we could go to the library. Well he was taking his sweet time (as 6 year olds do) putting his seat belt on. I was getting frustrated and was just about to say "C'mon Jimmy hurry up!" when I hear a loud BAM and looked down the road to see a six car pile up (the first car that was rear ended happened to be waiting to make a left hand turn in the same spot that I needed to). I picked up my phone and was dialing 911 and I was seeing at least 5 teenagers getting out of their cars obviously in pain and hurt. The high school lets out the same time Jimmys bus gets there. Long story short, if Jimmy would have put his seat belt on, exactly at the time that I wanted him to, there is no doubt in my mind I would have been in that pile up...probably waiting behind that guy to make a left hand turn. So sometimes I guess I can be grateful he dosent always listen...I am going to be grateful for a 6 year old that likes to take his time! Going down the road and listening to Jimmy talk about the accident I broke down into tears realizing what could have been and just gave Jimmy a hug.
Ok enough of the serious stuff.
I made a typo which was brought to my attention by some people...Dave and I ARE engaged! Even he brought that typo to my attention LOL!
I was laying in bed last night and I couldnt sleep, and I kept thinking about what I could blog about. But this evening I had a little girl with a fever of 102 and another one that just didnt want to stop crying so my mind is fried! But somehow through all of that craziness, my house is clean and my kids are alive. Which brings me to something else. This whole cleaning lady thing is still on my mind. I love the gift...its awesome! But its sooooo weird having someone else do the work that I am completely capabale of doing. And then I wonder if someone gifted me a housekeeper because I suck at cleaning?? Which is very possible cause I will be the first to admit I am not the best housekeeper! I had to reschedule her coming tomorrow because Abby was sick...but before I did that, I was cleaning to get ready for the housekeeper LOL! It has helped me a lot though. I have more time to take care of things I wouldnt normally do...like go through boxes that I have needed to go through for a long time! I guess I should accept and be grateful for the help...but in a way somehow I feel less of a mother for it. Is that weird?? Ok well Lacey is fussing again...good night everyone!
