So I thought I would do my own top ten...
9. The motivation of homework to work on got me out of bed on Thursday.
8. I couldn't even sit up on Wednesday last week, but had to be told by two mothers and an ER doctor before I realized exactly how sick I was, and why all I could handle was resting...
7. Three days out of the ER, and my arm just now decides to break out in a dermatitis rash in reaction to the IV, tape, and stuff pumped through my body on Sun.
6. The concussion caused some crazy confusion, but I was still trying to be super mom, and deal with stuff that was beyond my control and that I wouldn't have even attempted to try to deal with before...finding myself having to apologize to anyone brave enough to hang out with me.
5. I haven't been able to sew in a month or so, and just realized this morning how much I have been missing it.
4. Knowing the baby was coming today filled me with excitement. Not sure anyone else can say that babysitting makes their day?
3. The idea of driving again makes me so excited I think it raises my blood pressure.
2. I think I am absolutely hilarious around 8 o'clock every night, but I am the only one that laughs at my jokes.
1. Someone pranked me by ordering a wedding magazine for me, it was brought into the house by my best friend, and I didn't even notice it for days.
I don't know if any of the rest of you can say that your life looks anything like the ten things I just shared (although my friend Betsy has some of the weirdest things happen to her, and her stories make my list pale in comparison). But you almost just have to laugh. And there is so much healing in laughter (although I don't recommend it with a concussion headache...that causes leaky eyes).
To keep the top ten going...
Top ten thankfuls for today.
10. Random encouragement from friends.
9. Instant messaging my Tenn mom, and knowing she won't give up on me even if I am acting completely out of character.
8. Reminders that God's promises will always be true.
7. Phone call just to check on me.
6. Laughing with friends, even if its just through the internet and you know both parties are cracking up in their own houses.
5. Losing myself in pinterest, just because.
4. Phenomenal Christian fiction that can hold even my impaired attention.
3. Nap time.
2. Children's smiles.
1. A God who never gives up on me, and is never far away!
