Fuzzy Memories

March of the Penguins is on and I'm fascinated, I can't stop watching.

I came across a book from college. Not a textbook, but I did read it. It's "Fuzzy Memories" by Jack Handey. Here is one fuzzy memory, "Sometimes it's hard to tell if something is actually a memory, or you just dreamed it. So I asked my boss if I called him a lying, stinking thief, or I just dreamed it, and he said I just dreamed it. Whew, that was close."

Awhile back I mentioned that I would write a little everyday, well that isn't happening. Truth be told, somedays it just isn't exciting or even a little interesting, or sadly, I just don't notice (or too tired). Then I read my sister in law's blog, Somer, who always writes these thoughtful posts that show glimpses into her beautiful heart. Or, Jocelyn's blog, "We Talk of Christ" and everyday life. Then there's me :).

One of our cars is temporarily out of commission, still. It's not a big deal (and I'm thankful we even have a second car), but there are times we, meaning Zach, needs to get out. On the bright side, I'm getting more done at home than normal.

Avery and Zach are sick. They seem to have what I had 3 weeks ago. I remember when I got sick I prayed that the kids wouldn't get it, and they didn't. Now they're sick and I'm not, and I'm happy that's how it is (if it has to be). Sunday night Avery was really congested and her nose didn't seem to stop running. I checked on her and she looked blue, so then I checked her blood oxygen level/pulse ox, and it was 65! Her cardiologist didn't want me to get a pulse ox machine so I wouldn't get worried , but I am glad we have it. Anyway, I was nervous and checked again later and her number went up. I told Eric that if it was still low in the morning I was taking her into be checked and I'd need the car. Thankfully, I didn't need to take her in and she was smiley and chatty in the morning, and pink. I do want some oxygen though, just for times like the previous night.

We are very grateful that Avery is doing well, overall. I can forget about any troubles she used to have. If I HAD to pick something to have go wrong for my child, I would be fine choosing this. After her repair surgeries, she should be fine. Voila, it's done. There are a lot of more difficult situations out there and so I'm glad for Avery, and Zachery and all the gray hairs they give me. :)
