sometimes....things just happen

and we do not know why....they just happen...

i am pressing forward anyway

hoping to get things finished

ready

for Round Top Antiques Week

I am super excited, nervous and exhausted already

but pressing forward

and then

i have great respect for power tools

i know they are bigger and stronger than me

i am VERY careful and mindful when i use them

but

sometimes

things.just.happen.

the table saw won this one

but i am not defeated

just set back a little

i am instructed to....

 take a break from my job

no cleaning teeth for a week....

to take my pain meds and antibiotics...

and to see a hand specialist....

so

because i am a rule follower

i will do all of the above

and 

i will press forward

and

i am thankful for 18 year old sons

that bust into gear and hold their mom's other hand

even though she is squeezing it beyond anything he has felt before

and never leaving a treatment room 

even though he felt a little nauseous and light headed

and calling his dad with a calm voice

even though he knew his dad would freak out a little

yes i am so thankful for my son

who kept me calm even though i knew he wasn't on the inside

this saga

to be continued.....
