A time to heal....

Today I'm grateful for...

Getting Kelsey in to see the doctor for her ear infection. Antibiotics and numbing drops, hooray! Kelsey's a very healthy kid, very rarely gets sick so antibiotics are very welcome for this infection.

That she was upset when I told her she had to miss her first day back to school because of her ear infection---she has been in tears because of the pain.

That she and I finally got a little bit of sleep, we've been up for days, she's been in pain, and I've been doing every thing I can think of to make it better for her.

Even though I chose not to go to the dinner party in Broadripple with Craig and Jones, I'm sure they had a lovely time, and I know we will get together soon.~~Kayaking right!

The girls and I all in my bedroom watching a movie together. Brushing Taylor's hair and giving her the physical touch that she needs to know she's loved. She just turns into a little rag doll when you rub her back or brush her hair.

Making Kelsey's hair blue! It's a new color for her, we usually do red. Doing what I can to allow my girls to express themselves because what other time in their lives will blue hair be socially acceptable?

Taylor had a great first day back to school yesterday with no problems getting up earlier than usual.

Catching up with Vance on myspace since he can no longer be contacted by phone.

New friends on myspace!! Yeah, more people to chat with :D

Healing myself by facing my fears, listening to others, doing for others, listening to my body, and paying more attention to me.

A Hot Stone Massage! To my fellow rock chicks, I highly recommend this! After all the travelling, flights, with sore muscles and swollen feet, running around trying to get my home life back together while working and running the kids around to their stuff, I thought ahead and scheduled myself a massage for their second day back to school when I knew I'd have a few hours of free time. Absolutely divine.

Knowing there are other women who love rocks as much as I do.

Knowing that my friend Jess will pull out of the depression that has settled in to her life over the last few days. This too shall pass and she will be smiling again in no time.

Good doctor's visits for Kevin and Cynthia. Knowing things will go smoothly for them. Yeah for healthy babies and great doctors who care!

Taking time to take care of myself today.

A possible girls night out this Friday?? ~~ Lisa? If I plan something they will come right?

All of the pet names people call me, they make me feel so loved.....shell bell, sea shell, baby girl, sweet heart, shelly bean, shaw, trouble, and mama--Thank you thank you thank you!

Good things are happening to the people I love.

You my smooth little healing stone, you.
