• Be Still My Beating Heart....But Don't Stop!

  I meant to go to bed early but once again I let time get away from me while on the computer.  Shut everything down and put myself to bed with a book......have to read before I go to sleep.  When the story becomes different from the one in the book, I know that it is time to turn off the lights.  Since my bedroom, which is upstairs, is hot and sort of sticky from all the heat from the house, I turned on the air conditioner.  When it still was too muggy to sleep, I turned on the fan too.  Thus I set the stage for my minor heart attack.  I had just dozed off ....at least if felt like I had just dozed off when a noise startled me.  As I opened my eyes to a darkened room with only the light of the Christmas lights(I use Xmas lights as yard lights) outside reflecting into the room, I saw two human shaped shadows looming halfway to my bed.  I gasped.....which rather surprised me since I always felt that I would remain silent so as no one would know that I was awake if there were ever intruder in my bedroom.  I did not recognize the shapes.  Since I had gasped, I figured I might as well turn on the light by my bed to see just what I had to deal with.  As the light came on, momentarily blinding me, I felt something pressed into my side by a third shape was standing right next to the other side of my bed.  As my vision adjusted, I realized that the third shape was my daughter from North Carolina and the something was my Grandson Alex.  The other two shapes were my daughters Heather and Jen.  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  A bit early but that is COMPLETELY ALRIGHT with me.  Set the portacrib up, changed his diaper, fed him a bottle and sang him to sleep with the Hush My Baby song ........Life does not get much better than this.
