Running around like . . .

-

How many ways can you think of to complete the sentence?  I can think of three.

Running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off. (Gruesome picture when you actually spell it out.   However, it’s an analogy I can understand.)

Running around 90 to nothing.  ( I don’t really understand this one as far as it’s actual meaning.  Maybe I’m reading to much into it.)

Running around like crazy.  (Can you put the word crazy in almost any part of speech now?  I think it’s used a little differently here than its original intent.)

As I take the time (which I really don’t have) to blog about “running around”, I have come to the conclusion that it’s really just life.  I wanted to take the time regardless of my busy, unorganized schedule, to blog about the things that I have pondered in my head for a few days now.   I wouldn’t want to deprive you, my special readers, of the chaos in my mind.  And so, this is the conclusion I have reached.

I split my time between work (which is actually a calling to share in the life of kids), church (another blessing that God allows me to be apart), friends (who I cherish and enjoy spending time), and family (who support and get me through each day).  Having and being involved in so many other people’s lives, I conclude that  . . .

“running around like a crazy chicken with its head cut off, ninety to nothing” is really just summarized as

L – living

I –in

F – full

E -enjoyment

Room Service

Justin has been moved to a room this morning!  He is doing great!  All of the doctors and nurses are very excited about his progress.  Before leaving ICU, they removed most of his “stuff” (except for one IV).  This allow him to move around more freely, which is the next step.  Justin will be getting up and walking around this afternoon.  He is also just starting to eat again.  If you think about it, he hasn’t had anything since Monday night supper.  So, it will be like learning how to eat after the stomach virus.  We are praying this doesn’t make him sick.  They will also be giving pain medicine by mouth, so we are also praying that his pain continues to stay under control! He is making such great progress!  I think he is far ahead, especially with moving around, than he was this far out of last year with his surgery!  That is exciting!  Praising the Lord for this! Loving your comments, I read them to Justin as he is dozing in and out.  I can’t wait to read them to him when he is

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal

Congrats to . . . 1. Suzy, my cousin, for guessing the name before the last letter was released!  She was the first to send in the correct answer! 2. Chris and Paige; Chad and Ashley; and Lindsay for sending in correct answers on the blog!  Great job to Paige for being creative in her posting! 3. Ashley V. for texting in the correct answer! 4. Mrs. Donna for knowing before the last letter was posted and just heard the letters during choir practice! 5. Larry Swords for correctly guessing through a verbal guess! Charles Elliot McMillen will be joining us in a few short months!  It sounds even closer when you count it in weeks – 15 more weeks to go! Charles – Justin’s father and grandfather both had the first name of Charles!  Charles means strong, manly; valiant one. Elliot – Jehovah is my God – When we first talked about the name, we were still talking about other options until we found the meaning!  We love the meaning of his name! Thank you for playing along in ou
