I won’t tell you how many times I’ve sat down tonight to try to write something.
Anything.
Then, thought repeatedly about not blogging tonight, which is really fine, but I know that it’s far easier to fall asleep if I’ve just spilled my guts. Or, my brain. (Really, who came up with that phrase…spill your guts…? It sounds like it should involve puking or something.)
Anyway.
Probably more than you needed to think about right now. Sorry about that. 😉
So it’s kind of been a roller coaster week.
Two trips to the doctor…we ended up going in for x-rays today because that darn limp is still there. Poor Mae. 
Thankfully, she doesn’t seem to be in much pain, but it’s frustrating to not have answers. The doctor we saw was nice, but he also didn’t really have anything earth-shattering to share with us. Just told us to watch her for another week or so.
I realized today that I like answers and knowing exactly what’s going on. That doesn’t typically fit my fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants personality…maybe I’m just that way when it comes to people I love. Anyway, that made the week not great.
Kinda hard, in fact.
But even though she’s limping, we’re going to have a good weekend. I’m determined. 😉 The pool is already warming up, and I’m gonna have to get in tomorrow, whether I want to or not, just to skim it. Lesson learned already? Cover. Absolutely. Necessary. 😉
There’s a parade on Sunday we’ll go to and then we’re having friends over Monday night.
Good times.
It’s been an emotional week for other reasons. I really try not to let emotions take over my days, but sometimes…
Well, sometimes there are just those days.
The kind that creep up and, at the time, seem unavoidable, and the only thing you can do is pray they’ll improve. The kind that make a twelve-hour nap while buried under layers of blankets seem much preferable to the reality that is cleaning and laundry and chasing an active-but-wonderful girl.
But I don’t really want to talk about those days too much.
Because I HAVE had some really good times this week…hence, the roller coaster. 
Like…walks with friends and ice cream dates with my hubby and girl and swinging and water splashing and dollhouse playing and hug giving and…just lotsa smiles. I’m pretty blessed to have the girl I do. In fact, I caught myself re-writing some words to a song…
I’ve got sunshine…on a cloudy day.
And when it’s cold outsside, I’ve got a girl named Mae…
I was thankful this week for friends…and for friendships that continue to grow, which I think is so important. I was able to have a couple really good talks this week with people…deep stuff, things that I don’t just talk about with everyone. It made me thankful for listening ears and sisters willing to love without judgment.
We all need those people, and I am incredibly blessed with the friends God has given me.
Tomorrow’s Friday. And I do love Fridays. Not too much planned, but that’s ok. I’ll take sunshine and my girl any day!
I’m pretty sure we’ll be able to come up with a huge list of blessings by the end of the day, too. Maybe I’ll even share it with you.
G’nite, friends. Thanks for being here.
