Last night Ben brought home the rare treat of pizza. He was in Garden City for work, and thought that he'd stop and get a $5.99 pizza and some crazy bread. I was so stoked. When he was in the shower I stupidly ate at least 6 pieces of crazy bread (probably more) and OMG was that a HUGE mistake! I don't think that I have felt that sick in years. I thought that I was going to puke most of the night! I didn't, which was nice and finally fell asleep around 230, but I swear I am still having remnants of the garlic from the crazy bread all day!
Not sure what the weather is like for everyone else right now, but it is freezing here! Well I guess not "freezing" but sure is cold! I wore scrubs with long sleeve shirt on underneath my scrub this am. Then, when I got home, I put sweats on and a wool sweatshirt! It is only like 60 outside, but still feels like it went from 100 to 60, too cold for this girlie! Tonight is going to be 41, not sure if I'm ready for this, I think it might be time to hibernate!
So, while at work this morning the child's grandma was there helping me, and she cracked me up. She hardly spoke English, and I was a bit intimidated to speak Spanish to her, didn't want to be disrespectful. But, even with the language barrier we had a fun morning, that was full of lots of laughter!
This week I have been blessed to have gotten to hang out with a few girlfriends and their little boys. And after working with this wonderful grandma today, I am reminded that the saying reins 100% true, that it takes a village to raise a child. Although I may not be blood family to the children in my life, I realize that I am a part of the "village" that it takes to raise these children, and for that I am truly thankful!
On my journey today, I have realized that I will never ever (well for now) eat crazy bread again, that it isn't smart for anyone to eat 6 pieces of crazy bread, I'm thankful for the cooler weather (for the crops) and the rain we got, that even with language barriers a child's needs can be met with a good laugh along the way!
