Wow.... it's been a long time!!!
My confessions of late....
... I've been overly frustrated and tired... this single parent crap really sucks in the teenage years!!
... Lack of sleep or odd sleep time makes me a bit of a moody wench...
... My saving grace is Lit... friends and aquaintances....
... Enjoyin the many count downs of lovers meeting.... (and their special surprises I KNOW they'll love!)
... Two very special PMs that have helped me immensely in the last couple days... from people I'd least expect it from... made me feel more than I have in a long time!!
... Knowin that there are people that care helps a helluva lot!!
... Going to the nurse practioner at 6am scares me of the major lifestyle changes that will be going down at a slow pace from now on....
Sending many warm thought, wishes and hugs to all my TC family!!
Happy Hump Day, ya'll!!!

A man goes to see his Rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it."
"What's wrong?" the Rabbi asked.
"My wife is poisoning me," the man replied.
Very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?"
The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me. What should I do?"
"Tell you what," the Rabbi said. "Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."
A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says, "Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?"
"Yes, of course," the man desperately said.
The Rabbi replied, "Take the poison."
"What's wrong?" the Rabbi asked.
"My wife is poisoning me," the man replied.
Very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?"
The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me. What should I do?"

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double-pane energy efficient kind. But this week I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work had been completed a whole year ago and I had yet to pay for the windows. Boy, oh boy, did we go around! Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year ... that in one year the windows would pay for themselves. There was silence on the other end of the line so I just hung up and I haven't heard back. Guess I won that stupid argument.

Liza
Somebody
(Dave Berg/Sam Tate/Annie Tate)
At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says,"I've been there before
But keep on lookin' 'cause maybe who you're lookin' for is..."
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl from two floors up
Maybe she's the one maybe he could fall in love with
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody
Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why he searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting on
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right on by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Guess who loves you??

Thats bad!!!
These two greenbeans were crossing the hi-way when one of them was hit by a semi. His buddy scrapes him up and rushed him to the hospital. After hours of surgery the doctor comes in and says, "I have good news and bad news."
The greenbean starts to rejoice and the doctor says, "The good news is that he's going to live." "The bad news is he'll be a vegetable for the rest of his life."

Just wanted to thank everyone here for the incredibly kind words and prayers. To say that this has been a rough month would be the understatement of a lifetime.
This morning we had a prayer service in the hospital room. It was truly amazing. SC's brother, Billy, is part Native American and the hospital he is in is a catholic hospital. The ministry there has been absolutely phenomenal in helping us sort through this all. After talking with the Priest in charge of the hospital ministry and asking him about doing a "prayer for the sick" service for Billy, he told me that he would try and find a priest that he knew who was also Native American so we could incorporate that into the ceremony. Having grown up Roman Catholic and gone through 16 years of Catholic education, I wasn't holding my breath.
But for once, the Catholic church far exceeded my expectations. The service this morning was incredibly beautiful, spiritual and inspiring. It was a beautiful blend of Native American beliefs with Christian and Celtic beliefs and traditions, which Billy is also Scottish and had a strong fascination for all things Celtic.
The Native American minister performed a ceremony that is used by the Plains Indians. First he blesses the circle and the members present with Sage which we each rubbed between our hands and which he sanctified Billy with. Then he creates a sacred space by calling on the spirits of the 4 corners of the earth. The wolf, from the south, which represents fire and passion, the bear from the east, which represents protection, the buffalo from the north which represents life and balance, and Father earth from the north which represents the sustaining of all life, creating a perfectly balanced life circle. He also asks for the Great Grandfather to join the circle. (The Great Grandfather is the creator in Indian culture). He did all this while singing, in native tongue, the prayers of the Plains Indians. He goes on to talk about the balance of the spirit and body and how Billy's earthly life may have been out of balance. There may have been too much of the wolf in his spirit here on earth which causes unbalance. He asked the Great Grandfather to help Billy achieve balance on his next journey and asked the wolf to back off and help only when needed. He said since Billy could not be brought outside to touch the earth, he brought part of the earth inside to him. He placed in (a bowl of earth and rocks) underneath Billy's hand and asked that the demons that have disturbed his balance during his life be returned to the earth, because the earth has the power to absorb them and would know what to do with them. (After the ceremony, he and the priest took the bowl of earth and rocks outside and buried it to return it and the demons to the earth)
The priest then sang a Celtic hymm and recited part of a Celtic prayer which was very appropriate because SC had already spoken during the ceremony about how Billy would pray with her and put on his spiritual armor to protect himself and become God's warrior. The prayer he had already picked talked about the breastplate being part of the armor of the soul. The first minister then handed small packages of herbs wrapped in cloth to both SC and her mom to help them with the hardships they have also endured during this. He then placed satchels in Billy's hands to ease his burdens in passing. Then he closed the circle in song again, releasing the spirits of the earth from the room.
It's been two weeks today since Billy's accident and for the most part he has been completely unresponsive during this time, especially the last 4 or 5 days. But when the minister started singing and invoking the spirits, Billy's monitors started going a little wacky and I watched one of them (his blood/oxygen saturation level) completely shut off and display a "?" instead of a number like it normally does, until he was done singing. Causing the nurses to actually come into the room and check on him from the station. So, we all knew that Billy was there and participating in this ceremony and we all felt a sense of great calm and peace after it was over.
I was truly amazed at the time and effort this hospital's ministry put into this ceremony and how they were able to combine both Billy's Native American and Christian beliefs into one ceremony. Most of the Catholic Priests I have known would have looked down on this type of thing as pagan but here it was respected for what it is and embraced. I was truly touched by not just the ceremony but by the people who performed it. It may even get me to believe in organized religion again, now THAT would be a true miracle.
Billy's body doesn't have much time left on this earth, and I'm really glad that we were able to do this for him to help on the next leg of his journey. I know that it helped me.
I only got to spend a little under a year with Billy here in FL. I wish I had more time. I wish he would have known that I planned on having him as my best man at our wedding. I wish I could have told him before this happened. I spent hours and hours with him, alone, talking about the voices inside his head and trying to give him insight into them, trying to give him weapons to use against them, and he told me several times that it helped alot, but I guess it wasn't enough. I'm going to miss the fun, lighthearted Billy that I got to see when his disease wasn't controlling him. But I have a ton of really good memories of him that will stay with me all of my life, taking him to the club, south beach and watching him take photos of all the girls in bikinis, (which we still have on our computer), hanging out in Ft. Lauderdale, going to see Van Helsing (just him and I), running around like idiots on the 4th of July spending $400 on fireworks and laughing our asses off on the ride home as we had a truck filled with explosives and a propane gas tank banging around in the back and the two of us deciding it was safe to smoke in the truck. Mike's hard lemonades in the pool, picnics on Singer Island, watching Family Guy and laughing at all the jokes that SC thought were so stupid. Just alot of stuff that I wish he was still here to do with me. I'll never ever be able to watch fireworks again in my life without thinking of him.
So, thanks for all your thoughts, the days ahead are going to be rough but I feel like maybe some of the worst is behind us.

Danny,
I was so touched to read about the service- that sounds so very beautiful! And I know that somehow he heard it, and he knew.
