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

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

Boston Bound

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, then flew to Memphis but could not land because of weather.

Welcome new readers

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book and the writing, that this is not the best place to be
